Erie man named in September federal indictment arrested
An Erie man named in a federal indictment back in September of 2024 and wanted by the FBI is now in police custody.
Noah Thomas, 35, was taken into custody by Erie police Wednesday morning and was transported to the Erie County Prison.
Over two dozen defendants indicted in Erie-based drug trafficking, firearm operations
Back in September, an organized crime drug enforcement task force investigation brought charges against a total of 26 defendants for violations of federal narcotics and firearms laws, targeting a network of regional drug dealers.
Thomas was one of those named but wasn't in custody at the time.

S.F. cyclist ‘doored' by driverless Waymo sues, claiming safety tech failed
Jenifer Hanki was cycling down Seventh Street in February when an autonomous Waymo pulled into her marked bike lane and a passenger popped open a back door, colliding with her bike and ejecting her into the side of a second Waymo also pulling into the bicycle pathway, according to a lawsuit. Hanki alleges the company's Safe Exit system, aimed at warning passengers of such incoming hazards, failed. She sued Mountain View-based Waymo and its parent company Alphabet earlier this month in San Francisco County Superior Court alleging battery, emotional distress and negligence while seeking unspecified damages. 'Unlike Uber, Lyft, or taxis, where drivers actively monitor traffic and often lock doors or guide passengers to exit safely, Waymo's system fell short significantly,' Hanki said in a released statement. 'There was no alert issued in the illegally parked car as according to the passengers. Human drivers prevent accidents every day by assessing real-time risks, something Waymo's 'Safe Exit' system clearly cannot handle.' A request for comment from Waymo was not immediately returned Thursday. The crash happened on Feb. 16, just after noon, as Hanki pedaled to her apartment, traveling northwest on Seventh Street between Stevenson and Market streets in a marked bike lane, the lawsuit said. A Waymo carrying four passengers pulled over to the right side curb on the one-way street next to a no-stopping sign, the suit said. 'The curb-side Waymo's left passenger door suddenly swung open directly in the bike lane,' Hanki said. 'I had no room or time to swerve. With no room or time to react, I crashed violently into the door and interior.' The 26-year-old said she flew into a second Waymo and landed on the ground 'disoriented and overwhelmed.' 'As there were no human drivers in Waymo's vehicles, it exacerbated the chaos,' she said. 'The passengers were visibly confused, the two Waymos remained as they were, obstructing both the bike lane and regular oncoming traffic.' Hanki said the passengers told her it was their first Waymo ride, and they were unsure how to report the incident. They shrugged and left the scene after a few minutes, she said. Other witnesses called 911. An ambulance took Hanki to a hospital with 'serious bodily injuries,' the suit said. Among the safety systems marketed by Waymo is its Safe Exit, the suit alleges, which is 'supposed to be designed to detect nearby cyclists and pedestrians and notify disembarking passengers to avoid collisions.' Hanki claimed the system failed and that the company long knew its cars were 'dooring' cyclists. 'As technology moves forward, we believe it is crucial for all autonomous car companies to not move forward too quickly,' said Michael Stephenson, Hanki's attorney. 'In the interest of public safety, they must make sure they are adequately testing and refining their technology before subjecting the public to these cars.' Hanki said she's not against self-driving technology, but believes there's a 'gap in accountability.' She said she suffered a brain injury, along with spine and soft tissue damage, and the crash has kept her out of work and off bikes. 'I have yet to touch a bicycle because I am afraid of revisiting the same experience,' she said. 'I feel anxious, stressed, and unsafe. Before the crash, cycling was a source of joy and freedom; now how it feels like I've lost that part of myself.' The incident has subtle similarities to an accident involving a driverless Cruise robotaxi on Market Street in 2023. In that incident, a car driven by a human struck a jaywalking pedestrian, causing the person to ricochet into the path of an oncoming Cruise car, which dragged the person before stopping. Cruise has not operated its driverless vehicles in the city since the accident.

‘Godfather of AI' believes it's unsafe - but here's how he plans to fix the tech
This week the US Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed two men suspected of bombing a fertility clinic in California last month allegedly used artificial intelligence (AI) to obtain bomb-making instructions. The FBI did not disclose the name of the AI program in question. This brings into sharp focus the urgent need to make AI safer. Currently we are living in the 'wild west' era of AI, where companies are fiercely competing to develop the fastest and most entertaining AI systems. Each company wants to outdo competitors and claim the top spot. This intense competition often leads to intentional or unintentional shortcuts – especially when it comes to safety. Coincidentally, at around the same time of the FBI's revelation, one of the godfathers of modern AI, Canadian computer science professor Yoshua Bengio, launched a new nonprofit organisation dedicated to developing a new AI model specifically designed to be safer than other AI models – and target those that cause social harm. So what is Bengio's new AI model? And will it actually protect the world from AI-faciliated harm? In 2018, Bengio, alongside his colleagues Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton, won the Turing Award for groundbreaking research they had published three years earlier on deep learning. A branch of machine learning, deep learning attempts to mimic the processes of the human brain by using artificial neural networks to learn from computational data and make predictions. Bengio's new nonprofit organisation, LawZero, is developing 'Scientist AI'. Bengio has said this model will be 'honest and not deceptive', and incorporate safety-by-design principles. According to a preprint paper released online earlier this year, Scientist AI will differ from current AI systems in two key ways. First, it can assess and communicate its confidence level in its answers, helping to reduce the problem of AI giving overly confident and incorrect responses. Second, it can explain its reasoning to humans, allowing its conclusions to be evaluated and tested for accuracy. Interestingly, older AI systems had this feature. But in the rush for speed and new approaches, many modern AI models can't explain their decisions. Their developers have sacrificed explainability for speed. Bengio also intends 'Scientist AI' to act as a guardrail against unsafe AI. It could monitor other, less reliable and harmful AI systems — essentially fighting fire with fire. This may be the only viable solution to improve AI safety. Humans cannot properly monitor systems such as ChatGPT, which handle over a billion queries daily. Only another AI can manage this scale. Using an AI system against other AI systems is not just a sci-fi concept – it's a common practice in research to compare and test different level of intelligence in AI systems. Large language models and machine learning are just small parts of today's AI landscape. Another key addition Bengio's team are adding to Scientist AI is the 'world model' which brings certainty and explainability. Just as humans make decisions based on their understanding of the world, AI needs a similar model to function effectively. The absence of a world model in current AI models is clear. One well-known example is the 'hand problem': most of today's AI models can imitate the appearance of hands but cannot replicate natural hand movements, because they lack an understanding of the physics — a world model — behind them. Another example is how models such as ChatGPT struggle with chess, failing to win and even making illegal moves. This is despite simpler AI systems, which do contain a model of the 'world' of chess, beating even the best human players. These issues stem from the lack of a foundational world model in these systems, which are not inherently designed to model the dynamics of the real world. Bengio is on the right track, aiming to build safer, more trustworthy AI by combining large language models with other AI technologies. However, his journey isn't going to be easy. LawZero's US$30 million in funding is small compared to efforts such as the US$500 billion project announced by US President Donald Trump earlier this year to accelerate the development of AI. Making LawZero's task harder is the fact that Scientist AI – like any other AI project – needs huge amounts of data to be powerful, and most data are controlled by major tech companies. There's also an outstanding question. Even if Bengio can build an AI system that does everything he says it can, how is it going to be able to control other systems that might be causing harm? Still, this project, with talented researchers behind it, could spark a movement toward a future where AI truly helps humans thrive. If successful, it could set new expectations for safe AI, motivating researchers, developers, and policymakers to prioritise safety. Perhaps if we had taken similar action when social media first emerged, we would have a safer online environment for young people's mental health. And maybe, if Scientist AI had already been in place, it could have prevented people with harmful intentions from accessing dangerous information with the help of AI systems.

Sig Sauer, faced with lawsuits over a popular pistol, gets protection in New Hampshire
CONCORD, N.H. -- Faced with mounting lawsuits over a popular pistol, New Hampshire-based Sig Sauer asked for — and got — protection in the form of a new state law that makes it harder to take the gunmaker to court. Supporters in the Republican-led Legislature said the law was needed to help a major employer. The lawsuits say Sig Sauer's P320 pistol can go off without the trigger being pulled, an allegation the company denies. The law covers all gun manufacturers and federal firearm licensees in product liability claims regarding the 'absence or presence' of four specific safety features. One of those features is an external mechanical safety that people suing Sig Sauer say should be standard on the P320, based on its design. Claims can still be filed over manufacturing defects. Those who have sued Sig Sauer in New Hampshire and elsewhere include police, federal law enforcement officers, and other experienced gun users from multiple states who say they were wounded by the gun. The manufacturer has prevailed in some cases. It is appealing two recent multimillion-dollar verdicts against it, in Pennsylvania and Georgia. George Abrahams a U.S. Army veteran and painting contractor in Philadelphia who won his case, said he had holstered his P320, put it in the pocket of his athletic pants and zipped it up before going downstairs. "All I did was come down the stairway and there was a loud explosion, and then the excruciating pain and bleeding,' he told The Associated Press in 2022. He said the bullet tore through his right thigh. The company, which employs over 2,000 people in a state with permissive gun laws, says the P320 has internal safety mechanisms and 'has undergone the most rigorous testing and evaluation of any firearm, by military and law enforcement agencies around the world." It says the problem is user error or incompatible holsters, not the design. 'Do you want people to be able to sue car manufacturers because they sell cars that don't have air conditioning?' state Rep. Terry Roy, a Republican from Deerfield, told the House during debate in May. Opponents criticized the bill as a special exemption in liability law that has never been granted to any other New Hampshire company. 'I think there is a difference between helping out a large employer and creating an exemption that actually hurts people and doesn't give them their day in court,' state Rep. David Meuse, a Democrat from Portsmouth, said in an interview. His district covers Newington, where Sig Sauer is headquartered. A 2005 federal law gives the gun industry broad legal immunity. New Hampshire was already among 32 states that have adopted gun immunity laws in some form, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Some states also have repealed gun industry immunity statutes or weakened them. A Sig Sauer executive asked New Hampshire lawmakers for help in April, two weeks after a Pennsylvania-based law firm filed its most recent lawsuit in federal court in Concord on March 26 over the design of the P320. The firm represents over 100 people who have filed such lawsuits, including more than 70 in New Hampshire. 'We're fighting all these court cases out of town and every single court case we have to fight takes away money from Granite State residents and workers that we can employ and technology,' testified Bobby Cox, vice president of governmental affairs for the company. The measure took effect once Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed it on May 23. Legislators said it doesn't apply to the current lawsuits. However, lawyers for Sig Sauer mentioned it as part of their argument to dismiss the March case or break up and transfer the claims of 22 plaintiffs to court districts where they live. A hearing on the matter is set for July 21. Ayotte's office did not respond to an AP request seeking comment, but it told The Keene Sentinel that she's 'proud to protect New Hampshire companies that create thousands of good-paying jobs from frivolous lawsuits.' 'Out-of-state trial lawyers looking to make money will not find a venue in New Hampshire,' Ayotte's office said in an emailed statement to the newspaper. Robert Zimmerman, the plaintiffs' lead attorney in Pennsylvania, said the goal of the lawsuits is to get the weapon's design changed so that it's safe for the people who use it. New Hampshire was the chosen location because federal rules allow lawsuits against a company in its home state, Zimmerman said. Those lawsuits have been assigned to one federal judge in Concord. 'Sig is trying to strategically decentralize this case and make every client go to 100 different courthouses and slow down the process for both sides to get a just outcome, which is a trial that is decided on the merits,' Zimmerman said in an interview. The lawsuits accuse Sig Sauer of defective product design and marketing and negligence. During the House debate, Roy said he owns a P320 and it's one of his favorite guns, 'but you can buy them with or without safeties.' The plaintiffs say 'the vast majority' of P320 models sold don't come with the safety, 'even as an option.' Sig Sauer says some users prefer the faster draw time granted by the absence of an external safety; others want the feature for added security. Sig Sauer offered a 'voluntary upgrade' in 2017 to include an alternate design that reduces the weight of the trigger, among other features. The plaintiffs' lawyers say the upgrade did not stop unintentional discharges. 'It's not a great look' when a manufacturer can carve out a statutory exemption for itself, but it's also not unusual, said Daniel Pi, an assistant professor at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law. In Tennessee, Gov. Bill Lee signed a bill in 2023 following a deadly school shooting that gives gun and ammunition dealers, manufacturers and sellers additional protections against lawsuits. This year, Tennessee lawmakers passed another bill to further limit liability for gun companies. In a different industry — pesticides — governors in North Dakota and Georgia signed laws this year providing legal protections to Bayer, the maker of Roundup, a popular weed killer. Bayer has been hit with 181,000 claims alleging that the key ingredient in Roundup causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Bayer disputes those claims. The Louisiana Legislature passed a bill that would protect nursing homes from most lawsuits and cap damages. Republican Gov. Jeff Landry hasn't acted on it yet.
