already moving. always live abc seven news starts right now >> that drumming just part of the protest disrupting google i o. the tech giant's flagship conference that's drawn 10,000 people as it unveils its newest artificial intelligence capabilities. good evening. >> i'm ama daetz, and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. it's the second time in two days that advances in ai have made headlines, and both announcements were met with protest. openai released its new model yesterday. gpt four zero can interpret and generate text, images and audio and then have a realistic conversation with you. protesters outside the company's san francisco offices rally to pause ai, saying it's advancing too fast to be safe. we won't stop till never get drunk on outside google today, protesters rallied against project nimbus

ai surveillance software they claim is being used by the israeli government to target civilians in gaza. >> google has refuted that allegation. today, it unveiled its newest ai advancements. >> this search will be able to help plan everything from meals and trips to parties, daetz workout routines and more. >> that is just a hint of the new capabilities coming to the world's most popular search engine. what else can we expect? >> yeah. abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes is live with a look at what might be ahead here. zach >> yeah, so many big announcements came from the conference today. but the main headlines all go back to how ai is being used to give google search search engine its biggest overhaul yet. artificial intelligence is developing and landing in consumers hands at an extreme rate. one of the latest announcements coming out of google i o the tech giant's developers conference, is the reinvention of the search engine. they're really trying to change the search experience from a text one based to an

image based one that is intelligent, that gives you much more intuitive answers. one way is the prototype called project astra, powered by technology called gemini. google said it's a universal ai agent that could be useful in everyday life. >> what is that part of the speaker called that is the tweeter. >> it produces high frequency sounds. >> more than just looking for definitions. it could even be used to help you fix things around the house. >> i'm going to take a video and ask google, why will this not stay in place? and then a near instant, google gives me an ai overview. >> it's not the only way the search engine is being reinvented. also, on its way is ask photos. >> ask photos can also help you search your memories in a deeper way. for example, you might be reminiscing about your daughter lucia's early milestones. you can ask photos when did lucia learn to swim? you can even follow up with something more complex. show me how lucia's

swimming has progressed here. gemini goes beyond a simple search. recognize different contexts from doing laps in the pool to snorkeling in the ocean, to the text and dates on her swimming certificates and photos packages it up all together in a summary, other image based technology making headlines at tuesday's conference includes image in three. >> google says with a prompt, you can ask it to create a photo. pictures like a man with a beard smiling at the camera, or a view from above with a look at a stunning river canyon. still with the advanced technology does come some major concerns. >> we have to provide a level of confidence to google that they're going to protect that information from a privacy standpoint, so that may be giving some pause to a few folks. but they certainly have gone all in on how to reinvent search. >> so some of the things announced today will take some time to roll out, but others will start to see very soon. for example, google said starting this week, we'll start to see conversational summaries

generated by ai. so in other words, if you type a question into google at the top of the results page, you're going to see an answer that looks like it was typed out by a human, but instead that was actually ai giving you that answer. so be on the lookout for that right now. live in the south bay. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> yeah, you know, zach, it is just truly mind boggling how rapidly this technology is accelerating now. new developments every few weeks, it seems. thanks very much, zach. that's right. happening now, the medical students at the new pro-palestinian encampment at ucsf parnassus campus are holding an emergency rally. >> earlier today. they told our team they are staying put until the chancellor comes out to negotiate this camp formed just yesterday morning. police quickly showed up to remove tents. one person was arrested, cited with a misdemeanor and released. it appears to be the first pro-palestinian encampment at a medical school. student protesters at the university of san francisco today were ordered to clear their encampment or face discipline. in an open letter, the usf president said those who voluntarily left by 3

regents investment committee met today to discuss the university system's financial performance, regents said. the university system has $32 billion invested in companies that make weapons or support israel. that's about 18% of its portfolio. >> we need to be able to articulate to our students that are demanding divestment as to why it's not so simple, because it's very complicated, some of them are time commitments that we've made, and the students need to understand that. but we i think we need to do a better job at communicating that. >> at least one investment committee member said the board should consider protesters demands when looking at future investments. >> right now, the alameda county board of supervisors is holding a special meeting where it could set a date for the recall election of embattled district attorney pamela price. abc seven news reporter anser hassan is following the story and is live from oakland. with the meeting that is happening as we speak.

recall election with the general election in november. many of da price supporters want to combine the elections as well. >> it's a really important step in the right direction to ensure equity and democracy, tsay uh- recalls. and special elections have been shown to, not generate a lot of turnout from voters. it causes a lot of confusion from voters who are used to voting. in november. >> we did reach out to d.a. price office. they did not return requests for comment. we will keep you posted as to when a decision is made. reporting live anser hassan abc seven news. >> okay, thanks very much, andrew. >> with the city of san francisco facing more budget cuts and the mayor asking for 10% spending cuts from city departments, one leader is pushing back. sheriff paul miyamoto went before the board of supervisors today and showed them why his department needs more help, not more cuts. abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn gives us a closer look, give you a flavor of what it is to be in

prisoner fights. that's what prevents our deputies from being attacked. >> i would agree with the sheriff's department that they don't necessarily need to provide the same level of reductions as the police department. most certainly, the police department's budget is overloaded, and there are things that we need to do around public safety that don't just involve law enforcement. >> the mayor wasn't available for comment, but her office says that public safety remains a top priority for the mayor in this next budget cycle, and more details will be shared when the budget is ready at the end of the month in san francisco, suzanne phan. abc seven news. >> coming up, speeding up since california voters approved prop one funding for mental health and housing projects that could have taken years will now take months. plus the usda is still using a glorified hotel room k. >> seven on your side explores the security problem that's letting thieves steal money not only from the people who need it

most in need. yeah. seven on your side is digging into complaints from viewers that their ebt benefits were drained before they could use them. abc seven news i-team reporter melanie woodrow is here with those details. >> melanie ama and dan. it really is unfortunate, especially because these are the people who need these benefits the most and the viewers who

contacted us say that they used their ebt cards to purchase much needed groceries. but they say when the benefits are added to their cards, someone else is draining those benefits before they can use them. jennifer eversoll is a mom of six kids, with her seventh on the way. >> my fiance works, but we do need a little assistance. it's the difference between being able to provide for my family and not being able to. >> eversole says she receives cash and food benefits, but discovered someone else was draining the funds from her account every morning on the first. >> on the way to dropping my kids off at school, i grabbed the rent out of the atm, and 7-eleven is just the most convenient one right there. there was a mom in front of me saying, don't use this atm. all of my benefits were stolen when eversole checked her account, she realized it had happened to her too. >> she immediately reported it and filled out the necessary paperwork to have her benefits replaced. >> they told me that this was happening to a lot of people. there's a ton of people in there that had their benefits taken as well. >> but her resolution didn't last long. >> in the very next month, even

though it was a new card and a new pin, my benefits were taken again, the department of social services tells abc seven news. >> this type of ebt theft emerged in late 2021, and that skimming involves stealing the information through a device implanted on a card terminal. it is insanity. >> the usda is still using a glorified hotel room case. >> that's what haywood telco, ceo of lexisnexis risk government solutions group, compares the ebt card to from a security perspective, he says, the crooks are using skimming devices to duplicate cardholders information, and that a chip enabled card, much like a credit card, would be encrypted and safer until it's fixed. >> these criminals, it's a feeding frenzy, the national grocers association tells abc seven news that california will likely be one of the first states to transition to chip cards. >> writing in an emailed statement, quote, the usda and nca are actively participating in developing the standards to allow this transition as soon as possible, the california department of social services says. chip tap card implementation is expected this

summer. last year, california rolled out a mobile app called ebt edge to protect against benefit theft. it allows users to freeze their card when they're not using it, change their pin lock online and out of state transactions, or request a replacement card. eversole started using the app after she was the victim of ebt theft multiple times. >> i'm hoping that this is going to prevent it. >> telco says it doesn't go far enough. >> a lot of people don't know about that yet, and some of the food insecure guess what? they don't have smartphones that are capable of downloading the app. >> in the meantime, he says, there are three ways people can protect themselves from ebt theft. go to bigger stores as opposed to smaller ones, though that's something the national association of convenience stores disputes. >> unfortunately, fraudsters try to take advantage of businesses of all sorts. we think giving that kind of advice would give consumers, in some ways, a false sense of security and it would be bad for small businesses. >> telcos also suggest change

your pin after each time you use your card and push down on the point of sale terminal to see if it feels like it has any give a sign it may have a skimmer device on it. if it does, don't put your card in. >> i feel like they're not really doing enough, and i feel like it's not just affecting us, it's affecting taxpayers. thankfully, we have a little bit to fall back on and family when that happens. but there's some people that have nothing. >> the california department of social services says anyone who suspects they're a victim of ebt theft should contact their local county office. cardholders can also contact ebt to cancel their card and request a new one. there are systems in place to replenish these funds, but for calfresh benefits, there are limits to two instances in a year, each up to two months worth of benefits replacement and as you just heard, this is happening to people multiple times so that might not be enough of a replenishment, right? >> these scammers are just diabolical. they are relentless. thank you very much melanie. >> now to new developments in the rush to get highway one back open near big sur. the

next to me is crying about something, i'll cry. so of course, i'm going to cry. >> the good doctor storylines are coming to an end in the final two episodes. how do you know that i'm going to be satisfied when this is all over? >> i think the ending is so beautiful. it's inspiring, it's uplifting. it's full of hope. and i tear up thinking about it. i tear up, i tear up when i read it. >> i think every good thing has an end and i'm ready for it. like i mean, in order for something to end, you know, in order for something beautiful and new to begin, there needs to be an ending for shukumaru, who appeared in the first season, and this last one. >> it's been a great education. >> this has kind of been my drama school, you know, learning from people and i was very much season one, just like the green kid, just like, oh my god, like learning, learning, learning. and that's continued moving forward. >> will yun lee wouldn't mind hopping on to another abc series, and he has a connection to the star of one of them. >> i have some favorite shows and one of them is will. trent

where the fog is going to be sitting, but 26 degrees warmer if you go all the way inland in antioch. now san francisco is going to be up to 65. a mix of fog and sun, 70 in oakland, 80 in walnut creek. there you have it, 84 in antioch with a lot of sun for not just tomorrow, but for a few days following. so your spread, we're talking about 81 in san jose, 80 degrees in santa rosa. and as we look ahead as to what's going to happen, high pressure over the pacific is going to come in just a little bit to provide a mini warm up for tomorrow. after that, another trough sets up shop and that means we're going back down in terms of the numbers, accuweather, seven day forecast. the warmest day will be tomorrow after that cooler weather. just slowly though, by a couple of degrees each and every day. sunday through tuesday you'll be in the 50s to 70s range. so nice looking weather. ama and dan pretty seasonal to see the fog, the sun relatively mild. >> yeah. thanks, sandy very much. >> all right. sports director larry beals here. a lot of

excitement today. >> yes. i have to admit, when i heard the name valkyries, i was like, what? all right, what is that. and then i figured it all out. it's all coming together for the bay area's new wnba team. the name and color scheme revealed today. here come the

hello, i'm franklin graham. as we watch the news, it feels like the whole world is filled and engulfed with hate. we see it on our college campuses. we see it across the world. where did this come from? you see, hate is coming from the human heart. god made us and he created us, but sin has come into the world, and it's come into each and every heart. and the only one who can fix the heart is god. and god did that by sending his son, jesus christ from heaven to this earth to take our sins. he died in our place on a cross, shed his blood, and was buried, but on the third day he walked right out of that grave. that's right, jesus christ is alive, and my questions is have you ever invited him into your heart?"

if you haven't done it, do it right now. just say, god, i'm a sinner. i'm sorry. forgive me. i believe jesus is your son. i want to trust him as my savior, and i pray this in jesus' name. if you prayed that prayer call that number right now that's on the screen. god bless you!

start playing next season at chase center. the team will be known as the golden state valkyries. that team name revealed this morning right here on abc7, actually during good morning america with team president jess smith delivering the news with robin roberts of gma. now the new squad getting some support from the golden state warriors. as you see steve kerr, kevon looney, trace jackson davis all wearing the new gear. valkyries. if you're not familiar, are female warriors from norse mythology. so the name makes even more sense given the men's team name is the warriors. smith explained the thought behind the name valkyries on our 3 p.m. show, getting answers. >> we needed to get it right. it needed to be something that was authentic and that really represented the bay area well. and from day one, we wanted to make sure we were listening to fan input. i think the beautiful part about it is valkyries work together. you know, and we're very, very aware of the fact that our fans, our community, you know, and everything we get a chance to represent will have to move as one to find our success. to me, this brand and this organization really represents leaning into who the

bay area is. and this is a place where, you know, we lead the world in being both progressive and innovative. we make the impossible possible. and i know that this brand is going to be a connector of our community, and a fun one at that. >> meanwhile, ncaa star paige bueckers from uconn, likely the top pick in the wnba draft next year, posted that the valkyries colorway, their color scheme is the best ever uh- perhaps a future golden state star, although right now it's unclear if the valkyries are going to get the top pick in the draft. they haven't settled that yet. caitlin clark, her wnba debut after breaking the all time ncaa scoring record at iowa, a welcome to the pros knocked to the ground a hard foul, and she struggled early on her first basket right there. a little hesi move. the hesitation in the second quarter. but the connecticut sun up 5342 in the third. clark here she had four threes in this game. the sun win 9271 clark in a losing effort finished with 20 points but also

had ten turnovers. well he's already an all pro tight end. now he breaks news. last night george kittle posted this cryptic message on instagram. an image of himself and aaron rodgers with the text see you soon. and a day ahead of the nfl schedule, release, we've learned the 40 niners will host rodgers and the jets week one of monday night football right here on abc seven. this, of course, will be a redemption game for rodgers, who tore his achilles tendon just four plays into the last season with his new team, the jets. that was also on a monday night game. well, the giants have just been ravaged by injuries, and the news on center fielder juju li is not good. lee's mri revealed structural damage to his left shoulder. he's going to seek a second opinion with doctor neal elattrache in l.a. on thursday, but it sounds like the korean baseball star could be out for quite a while. giants have so many players hurt, it seemed like the sacramento river cats were playing the dodgers last night at oracle park. the giants still had some fight. eliot ramos, a big three run homer off

yoshinobu yamamoto, who had not given up a run on the road this season. but in the end, it was the dodgers bats that had the last laugh in extra innings. six 4 in 10 was the final as the dodgers improved to four and zero against the giants this season. >> you know, we are making some mistakes still, and that's going to help come with you. sometimes you want them to be aggressive. sometimes maybe a little too. >> a lot of dodgers fans at the giants home park last night, we'll see how that continues or does not. but two options on jungwoo lee if he opts for surgery. certainly done for the season if he tries to just let it heal. probably two months out. the shoulders are tough either way. i mean, they spent $100 million on him and now you just hurt. yeah. all right. thanks, larry. yeah. >> tonight on abc seven at eight, it's will trent, followed by the rookie at ten. the good doctor. then do stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember that we are streaming 24 over
