Report on OpenAI expected from federal, provincial privacy watchdogs today<\/p>\n
Privacy watchdogs plan to release a report today on OpenAI, the company behind the popular artificial intelligence-powered chatbot ChatGPT.<\/p>\n
Federal privacy commissioner Philippe Dufresne said just over three years ago that his office was investigating a complaint alleging the collection, use and disclosure of personal information without consent.<\/p>\n
The findings will be delivered by Dufresne and his counterparts from British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec at a news conference in Ottawa.<\/p>\n
Dufresne has said AI technology and its effects on privacy are priorities for his office, and stressed the importance of keeping up with \u2014 and staying ahead of \u2014 fast-moving technological advances.<\/p>\n

Funeral service for OPP officer killed in crash to be held today<\/p>\n
The funeral service for an Ontario Provincial Police officer killed in a highway crash while on duty is taking place this morning in Cobourg.<\/p>\n
Sgt. Brandon Malcolm, who joined the force six years ago, was killed in a single-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle on Highway 401 east of Toronto on April 27.<\/p>\n
The procession is expected to depart the funeral home in Oshawa at around 8:30 a.m. and will be travelling east on Highway 401 to arrive in Cobourg an hour later. <\/p>\n
The OPP says Malcolm\u2019s family, their guests, and first responders will attend the funeral, and while the service isn\u2019t open to the public, it will be livestreamed on the OPP\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s Alert Ready system to be tested in most provinces today<\/p>\n
Canadians across most of the country will hear the shrill screeching siren of the public alerting system today.<\/p>\n
A test message and tone from Alert Ready will be broadcast on television, radio and compatible wireless devices.<\/p>\n
Test messages will be issued in nearly every province and territory except Quebec and Saskatchewan at specific times between morning and early afternoon, with Ontario\u2019s test set for Thursday.<\/p>\n
The system is typically tested in May and November and is part of Canada\u2019s effort to ensure it works and raise awareness.<\/p>\n

Canadian company\u2019s winning innovation a giant leap for drinking water on the moon<\/p>\n
On the moon, access to drinking water could mean the difference between short visits and a permanent human presence, and a Canadian company\u2019s award-winning invention has made colonizing Earth\u2019s natural satellite more within reach.<\/p>\n
LunaPure, an invention by Canadian Strategic Missions Corporation, won a competition in April by the Canadian Space Agency, which invited companies to design technologies capable of extracting and purifying water on the moon.<\/p>\n
Every kilogram sent into space carries extraordinary cost, and the stakes are high: a viable solution for accessible drinking water could drastically cut the need for resupply missions \u2014 and help turn the idea of long-term lunar living into reality.<\/p>\n
And the real-world application for LunaPure is becoming increasingly realistic, as NASA\u2019s Artemis program aims to land a crew on the moon\u2019s surface in 2028 and build a lunar base that could support astronauts for weeks or even months at a time.<\/p>\n

\u2018Bon Cop, Bad Cop\u2019 TV reboot is here sans Colm Feore, with Henry Czerny stepping into the role<\/p>\n
\u201cBon Cop Bad Cop\u201d creator Patrick Huard knows fans of the film have had a passion for the franchise ever since it came out in 2006, so he can understand the skepticism around the recasting of one half of the dynamic duo.<\/p>\n
Colm Feore is not returning for the Crave TV series launching this week due to his commitment to Taylor Sheridan\u2019s \u201cLandman,\u201d but Huard says the show has maintained the fun, volatile relationship of the main characters, with Henry Czerny stepping into the role of Detective Martin Ward.<\/p>\n
Twenty years ago, the bilingual film became a Canadian cultural phenomenon, and the action-comedy became Canada\u2019s highest-grossing domestic box-office movie and led to a sequel in 2017.<\/p>\n
The film follows the two detectives who team up after a murder takes place on the border of Ontario and Quebec. They find out they\u2019re chasing after a serial killer who is murdering hockey executives that are selling Canadian teams to American owners.<\/p>\n
