Latest: Prince Harry wasn’t unfairly stripped of UK security detail after he moved to the US, a judge rules

LONDON -- LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry 's fight for publicly funded protection was rejected Wednesday by a London judge who said the U.K. government didn't act irrationally in deciding to strip him of security privileges after he quit his role working as a member of the royal family and moved to the U.S. Harry plans to appeal the ruling.High Court Judge Peter Lane said the February 2020 decision to provide security to the Duke of Sussex on an as-needed basis wasn't unlawful, irrational or unjustified.“Insofar as the case-by-case approach may otherwise have caused difficulties, they have not been shown to be such as to overcome the high hurdle so as to render the decision-making irrational,” Lane wrote in the 51-page ruling.A spokesperson for Harry said that he planned to appeal the ruling...

Latest: Amid artificial intelligence boom, AI girlfriends – and boyfriends – are making their mark

NEW YORK -- A few months ago, Derek Carrier started seeing someone and became infatuated.He experienced a “ton” of romantic feelings but he also knew it was an illusion.That's because his girlfriend was generated by artificial intelligence.
