  • What's up, lovely people? Terrific Tuesday to you.

  • I'm Coy Wire, this is CNN10, coming to you from Phoenix, Arizona, this week, home to cacti, beautiful skies, Super Bowl 57 this Sunday, and much, much more.

  • Now, behind me is Piestewa Peak, one of the highest points of the Phoenix Mountains, named in honor of Lori Ann Piestewa,

  • a United States Army soldier who became the first known Native American woman to die in combat while serving our nation.

  • We're gonna start with the latest news out of Turkey, a country that sits partly in Asia and partly in Europe.

  • A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake occurred Monday in Turkey and parts of Syria, which collapsed thousands of buildings, killing more than 3,000 people.

  • It created a new humanitarian disaster in a region already strained by war, a refugee crisis, and deep economic troubles.

  • Turkey hosts 3.6 million Syrian refugees, the most in the world.

  • And governments from around the world have been quick to respond to Turkey's request for international assistance.

  • Videos shared from Turkey and across the border in Syria showed the extent of the damage.

  • We'll keep you updated as the situation continues to unfold.

  • Here's CNN meteorologist Karen Maginnis helping us understand why earthquakes occur so frequently in Turkey and why this one was so consequential.

  • Now, this is real-time; these are some of the aftershocks.

  • And this is an interesting trajectory, just, kind of, this geometry of where that energy was lying as it just, kind of, raced along that fault line.

  • And this is one of the most active seismic areas in the entire world.

  • That's because we've got a lot of tectonic plates moving around across this region; we've got a lot of rift zones.

  • And this is illustrative of just how devastating these earthquakes can be.

  • Now, most of these earthquakes are not major earthquakes.

  • But this one, 7.8, it rivals one that occurred in northeastern Turkey, 1939; there were 16, 17,000 fatalities associated with that.

  • It was at the same magnitude.

  • This earthquake was shallow.

  • That means the effects are gonna be felt much more severely than if it were much further down into the core of the earth.

  • All right, here are these tectonic plates I was talking about; essentially, these are constantly shifting.

  • There are always earthquakes somewhere in this region being reported, but this one happened to be a major earthquake and devastating.

  • This is devastating; one that will be in the record books.

  • We'll remember February 2023 for this massive violent earthquake that took place in south-central Turkey that has interrupted so many people's lives,

  • but not just in Turkey, (but) in Israel, in Jordan, in Syria, where so many displaced people are currently located.

  • January's US jobs report surprised a lot of economists.

  • The results showed far more jobs added than expected, and the unemployment rate fell to 3.4%, the lowest since May of 1969.

  • With America adding more than half a million jobs last month, we're getting more surprising clues about the overall state of the US economy,

  • and it comes as the country grapples with the impact and usefulness of new artificial intelligence platforms.

  • Some worry that one day, sooner than later, a plethora of jobs could be taken away from real humans and given to robots and computers that could presumably do the work faster, cheaper, etc.

  • CNN business and politics correspondent Vanessa Yurkevich sat down with an expert to discuss whether this threat is real or imagined.

  • Which jobs is AI coming after first?

  • If you're a middle manager, you're doomed.

  • Any kind of commodity salesperson, report writers and journalists, accountants and bookkeepers,

  • and, oddly enough, doctors who are lookingwho specialize in things like drug interactions.

  • - Do you mean out of a job... - No.

  • -... or you mean that part of your job? OK. - That part.

  • That's the relief a lot of Americans are looking for right now.

  • Will it take my job?

  • Yes and no.

  • It's not gonna replace you.

  • Someone who knows how to use it well is going to take your job, and that's a guarantee.

  • By 2025, the World Economic Forum predicts that 85 million jobs will be displaced by automation and technology, but it will also create 97 million new roles.

  • We've seen it before in the auto industry.

  • While the auto worker may be displaced because they are not as good at welding or at painting as the robot,

  • there's probably 35 people that have to be involved in the creation and maintenance of that device that welds better than a person.

  • And that's what happened at Carbon Robotics, former auto workers now building an AI laser weeder in Detroit for farms.

  • The laser weeder still operated by a human but run by AI can do the work of between 40 to 50 people, says the CEO,

  • filling roles that are hard to find humans for.

  • This music is composed solely by artificial intelligence called AIVA; it even has an album you can stream.

  • AI music is more affordable; there's no producer, composer, or artist to pay.

  • It's taken away opportunity from songwriters, producers, and artists, right?

  • So, the people are trying to feed their families.

  • Something similar is happening in the art world.

  • Leading artist Kara Ortiz and two others to file a class-action lawsuit against three AI art companies for copyright infringement.

  • Ortiz claims they're using her name and art to train the AI.

  • It's feast and famine for most of us; we go job by job, and what happens when there's a little bit less work to go around?

  • My father tried to teach me human emotions.

  • There's a wonderful scene in the movie "I, Robot"; Detective Spooner hates robots, and he says,

  • Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?

  • - And the robot looks up and goes... - Can you?

  • Every one of us is not Mozart or Rembrandt or Picasso or choose your super famous amazing artist or artisan; we're just people.

  • This is not coming to kill us; it's coming to help us.

  • 10-second Trivia.

  • Located in midtown Manhattan, which of these sports facilities is dubbed the "World's Most Famous Arena"?

  • Churchill Downs, Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden, or Silverstone Circuit.

  • The correct answer here is Madison Square Garden, often referred to as the Garden.

  • And up next, most of us have heard of facial recognition technology,

  • the software capable of matching a human face from a digital image or video against real faces in real-time or a database of faces.

  • While the technology is being praised as a way to heighten security and can make things like unlocking your phone quicker and easier,

  • some view it as an invasion of privacy.

  • What do you think?

  • Here's CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez from inside New York City's Madison Square Garden.

  • You've come up on a hit, matching somebody on our facial recognition list.

  • He was recognized on facial recognition cameras, then confronted.

  • - Are you Benjamen Noren? - Yes.

  • This is how lawyer Benjamin Noren from one New York City law firm was greeted by Madison Square Garden staff while trying to attend an event in the fall.

  • The ticket has been revoked and you are not permitted in the building.

  • It's because Noren works for a law firm representing ticket brokers in a lawsuit against Madison Square Garden Entertainment.

  • All of the roughly 60 lawyers at his firm are also banned until the litigation is resolved.

  • Some experts believe it's a slippery slope,

  • and not just the discretionary power of who else could be flagged in the future, but one method being used to enforce it, even if it is legal.

  • I have read their privacy policy.

  • They explicitly say that the biometrics they capture from you can be used for any purpose that would... that would benefit their economic interest.

  • Some don't believe it should be used at all.

  • And I am terrified of the day where we allow companies to use so many forms of tracking and surveillance that, you know,

  • we end up in the middle of one of the largest cities on the planet without any place we can actually go while keeping our privacy.

  • And today's story getting a 10 out of 10, we're talking about the world's oldest dog again.

  • Two weeks ago, we brought you Spike, a 23-year-old Chihuahua mix from Ohio who was named the oldest living dog.

  • But along comes Bobi and Bobi's like, "Not so fast, my man's best friend."

  • Bobi is a Portuguese mastiff from Portugal, and, at 30 years old, he has now been named the world's oldest living dog by the Guinness World Records.

  • Having lived twice his life expectancy, he's also now considered officially the oldest dog to ever live.

  • The previous record of 29 years and 5 months was set back in the 1930s by an Australian cattle dog named Bluey.

  • Bobi's age has been confirmed by the veterinary medical service and a Portuguese pet database.

  • 30 years ago; that was 1993 when the World Wide Web was made available to the public for the first time.

  • So, congrats Bobi; that's a WWW to you.

  • Also winning, Salinas South Middle School in Salina, Kansas; shout-out to you today.

  • Thanks for commenting and subscribing on our CNN10 YouTube channel.

  • Have a "fan-cactus" day, y'all.

  • From Arizona all week, I'm Coy Wire and we are CNN10.

What's up, lovely people? Terrific Tuesday to you.
