US stocks rebound after getting a reminder of AI's potential upsides

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. stock market rebounded after getting a reminder that the artificial-intelligence technology boom may also have an upside. The S&P 500 climbed 0.8% Tuesday and recovered nearly three-quarters of its loss from the day before, when worries worsened that AI could ultimately make some businesses and industries obsolete. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. AMD helped lead the market after announcing a multiyear deal where it will supply chips to power Meta Platforms’ AI ambitions. IBM recovered some of its drop from the... Read More

Ex-LA fire chief sues the city over her firing after the Palisades Fire

AP News LOS ANGELES (AP) — The former Los Angeles fire chief has filed a lawsuit against the city, alleging that her ouster was part of an orchestrated effort to smear her conduct and decision-making so Mayor Karen Bass could avoid accountability for the most destructive wildfire in LA history.

Bass sacked Kristin Crowley a month after the January 2025 Palisades Fire, and her dismissal was followed by finger-pointing between the ex-chief and City Hall over the blaze's devastation and the fire department’s funding. In March of that year, Crowley lost an appeal to the City Council to...

CEO Dario Amodei repeatedly has made clear his ethical concerns about unchecked government use of AI, including the dangers of fully autonomous armed drones and of AI-assisted...

Florida's second execution this year will be a man who murdered a grocery store owner

AP News STARKE, Fla. (AP) — A man convicted of killing a grocery store owner during a robbery in Florida was set to be executed on Tuesday, which will make him the second person put to death in the state this year.

Melvin Trotter, 65, was initially convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death in 1987. However, the state Supreme Court found the trial court had erred in handling aggravating factors in his case and ordered a new sentencing, and Trotter again drew the death penalty in 1993. He is scheduled to receive a three-drug injection starting at 6 p.m. at Florida State...
