Did you know that Mother's Day was officially established in America in 1914? Founder Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her own mother on this day, so she campaigned to make it a nationally recognized holiday for all mothers to enjoy. And thus, Mother’s Day was born.

It goes without saying that technology has evolved quite a bit in the 110 years since this holiday found a permanent home on the calendar. The lives of modern moms are busier than ever, and their smart devices are essential to their daily lives.

Microsoft bans US police departments from using enterprise AI tool for facial recognition
Microsoft has reaffirmed its ban on U.S. police departments from using generative AI for facial recognition through Azure OpenAI Service, the company's fully managed, enterprise-focused wrapper around OpenAI tech. Language added Wednesday to the terms of service for Azure OpenAI Service more clearly prohibits integrations with Azure OpenAI Service from being used "by or for" police departments for facial recognition in the U.S., including integrations with OpenAI's current -- and possibly future -- image-analyzing models. A separate new bullet point covers "any law enforcement globally," and explicitly bars the use of "real-time facial recognition technology" on mobile cameras, like body cameras and dashcams, to attempt to identify a person in "uncontrolled, in-the-wild" environments.
