From Chat GPT to artificial intelligence showing up in everything from newswriting to youth sports apps, AI is suddenly ubiquitous and it seems here to stay.

Will it really replace human thought and effort, or is it just another tool to make our lives more efficient? How will we able to tell when something was written by a computer and not by a thinking human being? Should we fear the spread of artificial intelligence or embrace it? How do you know I wrote these words, and not a ChatBot?

For more, KCBS Radio's Political Report Doug Sovern spoke with Wael AbdAlmadeed, a research associate professor at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, where he is an expert on deepfakes, among other things, in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Information Science Institute.

Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues his aggressive campaign to shake up the presidential race.

He has qualified for the ballot in at least ten states now, including California.

And in a sign that the Biden and Trump campaigns are no longer dismissing Kennedy as a fringe third party guy who’s no real threat, they are both putting out a lot of opposition research material on him, and attacking him as either a liberal or a conservative in a moderate’s clothing, depending on who’s doing the attacking. 

For more on this, KCBS Radio anchors Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising were joined by KCBS insider Doug Sovern.

There was dancing in the streets in Gaza today, after Hamas
announced that it had accepted a ceasefire proposal in its war with Israel

But it turns out that Hamas has proposed new terms for a deal, that
Israel is still studying before it decides whether to say yes

Talks had been at an impasse before Hamas’ political leader
announced the terms his group would accept, which is different from the most
recent Israeli proposal. Meanwhile, Israel is moving forward with its plan to attack
Rafah, ordering Palestinians in that city to evacuate before it launches its
offensive there.

For more on where things stand and what it all means, KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern, Bret Burkhart, and Patti Reising were joined by Amichai Magen, Visiting Professor and Fellow in Israel Studies at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University.

Hamas accepts outside ceasefire terms, Israel to study details before response

The Biden Administration announced today it's allowing thousands of DACA immigrants to enroll in the Affordable Care Act's health insurance for next year's coverage. 

This move will give roughly 100-thousand immigrants, who were brought to the US as children, the opportunity to access federal health insurance when they sign up for coverage after November 1st--just days before the presidential election. 

For a closer look at the implications this has on California, KCBS Radio's Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising are joined by Bill Hing, professor of law and migration studies at the University of San Francisco and the author of "Humanizing Immigration."
