00:11.280 --> 00:13.040
Hello everyone, welcome to CNN 10. I'm

00:13.040 --> 00:14.960
Koi Wire here with your daily 10-minute

00:14.960 --> 00:17.440
rendevous with the news. It is your word

00:17.440 --> 00:19.039
Wednesday. One of you helped us write

00:19.039 --> 00:20.960
today's show. We saw some outstanding,

00:20.960 --> 00:23.279
commanding, and captivating submissions.

00:23.279 --> 00:25.119
We'll see who made it. You are halfway

00:25.119 --> 00:26.240
through the week. We're here to

00:26.240 --> 00:28.320
hopefully help you learn something new,

00:28.320 --> 00:30.480
laugh a time or two. all in the next 10

00:30.480 --> 00:32.000
minutes. A lot of news today, so let's

00:32.000 --> 00:34.079
get started. We start in Pennsylvania

00:34.079 --> 00:36.000
where officials are trying to understand

00:36.000 --> 00:38.320
what caused a series of explosions at a

00:38.320 --> 00:40.399
steel plant just outside of Pittsburgh

00:40.399 --> 00:42.960
on Monday. Two people were killed and at

00:42.960 --> 00:45.360
least 10 people were hurt in the blast,

00:45.360 --> 00:47.760
including one person who was pulled from

00:47.760 --> 00:49.280
the smoldering rubble after being

00:49.280 --> 00:51.600
trapped for hours. It happened at US

00:51.600 --> 00:54.079
Steel's Clarin Cokeworks, a massive

00:54.079 --> 00:55.760
plant where another incident had

00:55.760 --> 00:57.840
occurred just months earlier. The

00:57.840 --> 01:00.879
facility converts raw coal into coke, a

01:00.879 --> 01:02.719
key ingredient in the steel making

01:02.719 --> 01:05.280
process. Special ovens are used to heat

01:05.280 --> 01:07.360
coal at extreme temperatures for hours.

01:07.360 --> 01:09.439
The process also creates a lethal gas

01:09.439 --> 01:12.080
known as coke gas. Plant officials say

01:12.080 --> 01:14.000
two of those ovens were involved in the

01:14.000 --> 01:16.000
incident and the cause is still under

01:16.000 --> 01:18.320
investigation. Listen,

01:18.320 --> 01:20.320
>> obviously this is a tragedy that we want

01:20.320 --> 01:22.159
to understand. We're under the

01:22.159 --> 01:25.680
investigation and um we will continue to

01:25.680 --> 01:28.720
work not only with uh the folks behind

01:28.720 --> 01:31.600
me uh but the families uh of those that

01:31.600 --> 01:32.880
have been affected.

01:32.880 --> 01:34.479
>> Now, the family of one of the victims,

01:34.479 --> 01:36.720
Timothy Quinn, says that's not the case.

01:36.720 --> 01:38.720
They say they spent nearly 5 hours

01:38.720 --> 01:41.119
calling area hospitals and only learned

01:41.119 --> 01:42.960
the tragic news after visiting the

01:42.960 --> 01:45.600
scene. My dad worked at the steel mill

01:45.600 --> 01:49.439
for 42 years and he would be disgusted

01:49.439 --> 01:51.280
in what this situation is right now.

01:51.280 --> 01:53.600
Accidents happen, but families, that's

01:53.600 --> 01:55.439
brothers and sisters, it's a strong

01:55.439 --> 01:57.759
reunion. They need communication with

01:57.759 --> 01:59.040
these families.

01:59.040 --> 02:00.640
>> In the past 10 years, the state of

02:00.640 --> 02:02.399
Pennsylvania had the highest amount of

02:02.399 --> 02:04.479
steel plant injury reports in the

02:04.479 --> 02:06.799
nation. A big development in those trade

02:06.799 --> 02:08.479
taxes we've been telling you about. The

02:08.479 --> 02:10.560
US and China say they have both agreed

02:10.560 --> 02:12.879
to hold off on rising tariffs on each

02:12.879 --> 02:15.360
other for another 90 days. The decision

02:15.360 --> 02:16.959
came just hours before a Tuesday

02:16.959 --> 02:19.120
deadline that would have led to a surge

02:19.120 --> 02:21.599
in import fees between the world's two

02:21.599 --> 02:24.160
largest economies. US levies on Chinese

02:24.160 --> 02:27.599
goods were set to rise to 54% up from 30

02:27.599 --> 02:30.160
and China's taxes on the US goods would

02:30.160 --> 02:33.200
have risen to 34% up from 10. The two

02:33.200 --> 02:34.879
countries said the extension was based

02:34.879 --> 02:36.800
on negotiations that took place in

02:36.800 --> 02:40.080
Sweden last month. Now to a story at the

02:40.080 --> 02:42.160
intersection of artificial intelligence

02:42.160 --> 02:44.160
and police investigations. Police

02:44.160 --> 02:46.080
reports are a crucial step in law

02:46.080 --> 02:47.840
enforcement, right? They help officers

02:47.840 --> 02:50.080
detail incidents, explain why they took

02:50.080 --> 02:52.400
the actions they did, and even perhaps

02:52.400 --> 02:54.400
help them prepare to testify in court.

02:54.400 --> 02:56.959
And now a new AI powered tool is helping

02:56.959 --> 02:58.400
departments across the country

02:58.400 --> 03:00.560
streamline this process, allowing them

03:00.560 --> 03:02.640
to finish reports in as little as 10

03:02.640 --> 03:04.640
minutes. But some legal experts are

03:04.640 --> 03:06.400
sounding the alarm over what they say

03:06.400 --> 03:09.440
are potential inaccuracies or biases in

03:09.440 --> 03:11.599
those reports. Our Claire Duffy takes a

03:11.599 --> 03:13.840
deeper look in her podcast, Terms of

03:13.840 --> 03:15.040
Service.

03:15.040 --> 03:16.800
>> Yeah, Koi, this is a really fascinating

03:16.800 --> 03:18.879
new application of AI for law

03:18.879 --> 03:20.879
enforcement. This software takes the

03:20.879 --> 03:22.720
transcript of the audio from a

03:22.720 --> 03:25.280
policeworn body camera and AI uses that

03:25.280 --> 03:27.360
to create the first draft of a police

03:27.360 --> 03:29.519
report. This is built as a way to let

03:29.519 --> 03:31.519
police officers spend less time writing

03:31.519 --> 03:34.000
reports, more time out in the field,

03:34.000 --> 03:35.920
especially in light of hiring challenges

03:35.920 --> 03:37.280
that police departments across the

03:37.280 --> 03:39.760
country have faced. Now, I visited Fort

03:39.760 --> 03:41.440
Collins, Colorado, which is one of at

03:41.440 --> 03:43.120
least a handful of police departments

03:43.120 --> 03:44.879
that are starting to pilot this new

03:44.879 --> 03:47.200
technology, and they gave me a demo of

03:47.200 --> 03:48.799
this software, which is called Draft

03:48.799 --> 03:51.360
One. In that demo, we were able to see

03:51.360 --> 03:52.959
some of the safeguards that are built

03:52.959 --> 03:55.440
into this technology. Namely, these

03:55.440 --> 03:57.040
fill-in-theblank prompts, these

03:57.040 --> 03:58.720
bracketed prompts that are automatically

03:58.720 --> 04:01.200
inserted into the AI draft report that

04:01.200 --> 04:03.120
are meant to encourage officers to go

04:03.120 --> 04:05.040
through, read the report, add

04:05.040 --> 04:07.280
information, correct errors, and just

04:07.280 --> 04:08.879
generally make sure that the report is

04:08.879 --> 04:10.640
their own. Although, I will say that we

04:10.640 --> 04:12.959
also saw it's fairly easy to just delete

04:12.959 --> 04:15.519
those added prompts, and submit a report

04:15.519 --> 04:18.160
as is. This is something that I, you

04:18.160 --> 04:20.079
know, I didn't totally understand before

04:20.079 --> 04:22.079
reporting this piece is just how

04:22.079 --> 04:24.479
critical police reports are to the

04:24.479 --> 04:26.720
criminal justice process. I spoke with

04:26.720 --> 04:28.639
Andrew Guthrie Ferguson. He's a law

04:28.639 --> 04:30.000
professor at George Washington

04:30.000 --> 04:31.840
University. Here's how he described it

04:31.840 --> 04:33.120
to me.

04:33.120 --> 04:35.919
>> Police reports are like the lifeblood of

04:35.919 --> 04:38.479
the criminal justice system. Every day,

04:38.479 --> 04:40.720
several times a day, police officers go

04:40.720 --> 04:42.400
out on patrol. They're interacting with

04:42.400 --> 04:45.040
people and their job is to memorialize

04:45.040 --> 04:47.360
that interaction in a police report. The

04:47.360 --> 04:49.280
police report might be the only

04:49.280 --> 04:51.759
memorialization of a particular

04:51.759 --> 04:55.120
incident. Uh it can be the reason and

04:55.120 --> 04:58.160
and the way that a prosecutor uh decides

04:58.160 --> 04:59.919
to sort of paper a case, take a case

04:59.919 --> 05:02.240
forward and keep charging it. It can be

05:02.240 --> 05:04.400
the document that a judge looks at to

05:04.400 --> 05:06.240
decide whether or not an individual

05:06.240 --> 05:09.840
should be uh held over. Now, that is why

05:09.840 --> 05:11.840
both police officers say it's very

05:11.840 --> 05:13.280
important for them to get their police

05:13.280 --> 05:15.360
reports right, but also why experts are

05:15.360 --> 05:17.280
raising some concerns about the use of

05:17.280 --> 05:21.039
AI in this process. The ACLU is already

05:21.039 --> 05:23.039
urging departments not to use AI to

05:23.039 --> 05:24.880
draft police reports because of concerns

05:24.880 --> 05:27.600
that biases could be encoded, trained

05:27.600 --> 05:29.919
into these AI models or that there could

05:29.919 --> 05:31.840
be errors. You could imagine that the

05:31.840 --> 05:33.520
transcript gets something that somebody

05:33.520 --> 05:35.600
said in an interaction with police wrong

05:35.600 --> 05:37.600
and that could end up in these AI police

05:37.600 --> 05:39.120
reports if an officer isn't reading

05:39.120 --> 05:41.280
through carefully. Other experts are

05:41.280 --> 05:42.960
just calling for more transparency

05:42.960 --> 05:45.199
around this. Axon, which is the maker of

05:45.199 --> 05:47.120
this draft one software, does give

05:47.120 --> 05:49.680
police departments the option to add a

05:49.680 --> 05:51.280
disclosure that these reports were

05:51.280 --> 05:53.520
created with AI, but in most cases

05:53.520 --> 05:56.160
that's optional. However, in Utah, there

05:56.160 --> 05:58.320
was a law recently passed that requires

05:58.320 --> 06:00.320
that disclosure on reports that were

06:00.320 --> 06:02.400
created with AI so that everybody's on

06:02.400 --> 06:03.840
the same page about what's happening

06:03.840 --> 06:06.319
here. Back to you,

06:06.319 --> 06:09.199
pop quiz, hot shot. More than 75% of all

06:09.199 --> 06:12.080
coral species are living in which of the

06:12.080 --> 06:14.160
world seas? Caribbean Sea, South China

06:14.160 --> 06:18.520
Sea, Adriatic, or Caspian?

06:20.000 --> 06:22.479
Answer is South China Sea. It is

06:22.479 --> 06:25.919
estimated to harbor 571 known species of

06:25.919 --> 06:28.160
reef building corals.

06:28.160 --> 06:30.720
Now to some shocking new video into CNN

06:30.720 --> 06:33.520
10. New footage of two Chinese military

06:33.520 --> 06:38.199
ships crashing into each other.

06:39.840 --> 06:41.680
>> This happened on Monday in the South

06:41.680 --> 06:43.600
China Sea. The Chinese Coast Guard was

06:43.600 --> 06:45.680
chasing down boats from the Philippines.

06:45.680 --> 06:48.160
A Chinese warship then hit its own Coast

06:48.160 --> 06:50.400
Guard boat and did heavy damage to its

06:50.400 --> 06:52.720
bow. China isn't talking about the

06:52.720 --> 06:55.120
incident. The South China Sea has been a

06:55.120 --> 06:56.960
flash point for disputes between China,

06:56.960 --> 06:58.720
the Philippines, and several other

06:58.720 --> 07:01.840
nations. Next up, some never seen before

07:01.840 --> 07:04.080
species that have been found during a

07:04.080 --> 07:06.400
recent deep sea expedition. One with a

07:06.400 --> 07:08.000
nickname that's hard to say without a

07:08.000 --> 07:09.759
straight face, so we will take the video

07:09.759 --> 07:13.199
full now. This guy named the Big Butt

07:13.199 --> 07:16.639
starfish. Yep. Scientists at the Schmidt

07:16.639 --> 07:19.360
Ocean Institute stumbled upon it while

07:19.360 --> 07:21.120
live streaming their expedition at the

07:21.120 --> 07:23.520
bottom of the Mardell Plata Submarine

07:23.520 --> 07:25.680
Canyon, a biodiversity hot spot off the

07:25.680 --> 07:27.759
coast of Argentina. Viewers were quick

07:27.759 --> 07:29.520
to christen the critter with its new

07:29.520 --> 07:31.919
nickname. They even pointed out that it

07:31.919 --> 07:34.880
indubitably resembles Bikini Bottom's

07:34.880 --> 07:37.039
most famous invertebrate, Patrick Star.

07:37.039 --> 07:38.880
Full disclosure, I like big butt

07:38.880 --> 07:41.039
starfish and I cannot lie. And we'll now

07:41.039 --> 07:42.479
have more on this discovery in the

07:42.479 --> 07:44.319
coming days when CNN will be speaking

07:44.319 --> 07:46.400
with two of the scientists involved in

07:46.400 --> 07:48.150
the discovery.

07:48.150 --> 07:52.720
[Applause]

07:52.720 --> 07:54.639
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A

07:54.639 --> 07:56.639
new school year in full swing and one

07:56.639 --> 07:58.639
Indiana educator is bringing the jams

07:58.639 --> 08:00.720
and busting a move to help his students

08:00.720 --> 08:04.560
succeed. Check it out. Everybody

08:04.560 --> 08:09.479
rock that eagle pride

08:09.680 --> 08:12.800
is back. All right. Superintendent Mike

08:12.800 --> 08:14.800
Allen, also known as the parody

08:14.800 --> 08:16.800
principal, produces these elaborate pop

08:16.800 --> 08:18.960
music parody videos starring the

08:18.960 --> 08:21.520
students and staff at Evansville

08:21.520 --> 08:23.360
Christian School. The educational

08:23.360 --> 08:25.599
earworms turn ordinary announcements

08:25.599 --> 08:27.919
into full-blown dance parties and help

08:27.919 --> 08:30.080
relay information about everything from

08:30.080 --> 08:32.640
snow days to spring break. Allan says he

08:32.640 --> 08:35.039
started the videos back in 2014 as a way

08:35.039 --> 08:37.279
to spice up the school year and they

08:37.279 --> 08:40.000
quickly became a fan favorite. Now 11

08:40.000 --> 08:42.560
years and more than 50 videos later,

08:42.560 --> 08:45.200
he's still at it parodying everyone from

08:45.200 --> 08:47.279
the Beatles to the Fresh Prince of

08:47.279 --> 08:49.440
Belair. He says the videos have been a

08:49.440 --> 08:51.600
great way to get everyone from faculty

08:51.600 --> 08:54.080
to family members excited for the school

08:54.080 --> 08:55.360
day. Listen,

08:55.360 --> 08:58.080
>> I can't believe that the thing that that

08:58.080 --> 09:00.800
I get to do this as a part of my job as

09:00.800 --> 09:03.279
a superintendent to have a way that I

09:03.279 --> 09:05.279
can connect with families and kids in

09:05.279 --> 09:06.959
the community of people that don't even

09:06.959 --> 09:09.040
go here just to let them know, hey man,

09:09.040 --> 09:11.920
let's not lose the joy of what's

09:11.920 --> 09:13.360
happening in life and specifically

09:13.360 --> 09:15.200
around the the really fun moments to

09:15.200 --> 09:17.600
celebrate around the school year. What a

09:17.600 --> 09:19.200
great example. It's not what we go

09:19.200 --> 09:21.200
through, it's how we go through it. You

09:21.200 --> 09:23.040
can turn even the mundane into something
