    Italy's PM Meloni Protects Voice Against AI Misuse

    Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has registered her distinctive voice as a trademark with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to prevent its misuse by artificial intelligence. The registration, which covers a four-second audio clip of her saying 'Io sono Giorgia Meloni', aims to protect her voice from being used without permission for AI-generated content such as voice clones or deepfakes. Meloni's move comes amid growing concerns about the spread of manipulated images and videos created using AI.

    Gaza Winter Crisis: Millions Face Fourth Year in Tents

    With the fourth winter approaching, 1.65 million Gazans are set to spend another winter in tents due to Israeli restrictions on reconstruction materials. The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) reports that only 15 trucks per week are allowed to enter Gaza with 'dual-use' goods, insufficient to meet the needs. Around 300,000 families require assistance, but donors have only provided 34% of the required funds. The Palestinian Authority in Gaza also warns of a catastrophic winter, with 75% of refugee tents unsuitable for protection.
