🌍 International Relations and Natural Disasters
The video script begins with a lively introduction by the host, Koy, highlighting the end of the school year and encouraging students to appreciate their teachers. The main topic discussed is the historic decision by Spain, Norway, and Ireland to formally recognize a Palestinian state, a move that is largely symbolic but significant in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. More than 140 UN members already recognize Palestine, but few European nations have done so, making this announcement noteworthy. The decision is intended to promote lasting peace in the region, but it has been met with opposition from President Biden, who prefers a negotiated two-state solution, and Israel, which has recalled its ambassadors from the recognizing countries. The script also covers the aftermath of severe storms and tornadoes in Iowa, with Greenfield experiencing extensive damage and loss of life. The year has seen an unusually high number of tornadoes in the US, with over 800 reported so far. The segment concludes with a story about over-tourism at Mount Fuji, Japan, where a town has erected a black curtain to deter tourists from trespassing and causing issues, reflecting a broader problem of overcrowding and strain on local resources.
🐶 AI Controversy and Dog Surfing Championship
The second paragraph of the script introduces a trivia question about the founding of artificial intelligence as a field of research, correctly identifying 1956 as the year.

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, denies that the voice was intended to mimic Johansson and has apologized for poor communication. The company has paused the use of the voice, named Sky, and is reviewing the situation. The script then shifts to a lighter topic, showcasing a dog surfing competition in Northern Spain, where a chocolate lab named COA and her owner were crowned champions.

let's get our energy up up up happy
Friday Eve welcome to the show I'm Koy
this is CNN 10 school years winding down
so remember to show some love to your
teachers who are informing and inspiring
us to be a little better each day give a
handshake a high five a fist bump let
them know I see you all right we begin
today with an historic decision stemming
from the ongoing war between Israel and
Hamas in the Gaza Strip three European
nations Spain Norway and Ireland say
they will formally recognize a
Palestinian state next week more than
140 un Nations already recognize
Palestinian statehood but very few
European nations have gone that far
that's why this announcement is
significant Spain Norway and Ireland say
this is the best way to achieve lasting
peace in the region but not everyone
agrees President Biden says it would be
better for Israelis and Palestinians to
negotiate a two-state solution
themselves rather than have outside
countries apply this kind of pressure
and Israel for its part is furious it
ordered its ambassadors from Spain
Norway and Ireland to immediately come
back to Israel so what does it mean to
recognize Palestinian statehood for now
it's a largely symbolic move but it puts
pressure on Israel as it fights a
controversial war in Gaza countries that
that recognize Palestinian statehood
believe there should be an independent
Palestinian nation that operates like
any other country in the world right now
much of the International Community
considers Gaza East Jerusalem and the
West Bank as occupied Palestinian
territory next we head to Iowa where
officials are surveying the damage after
a series of Storms and tornadoes ripped
through the Midwest on Tuesday in
Greenfield there were several deaths and
injuries one official says the town
about 50 m Southwest of De Moine has
been almost entirely destroyed at least
18 tornadoes were spotted across Iowa on
Tuesday so far this year more than 800
tornadoes have been reported in the US
making it one of the most active years
on record the storms are now set to
travel both North and South with
officials saying cities from Tulsa to
Cleveland should be storm
aware people in central hu Japan have
had enough with over tourism at a famous
landmark you may remember we reported on
the show about the concerns of locals
near Mount Fuji where a great selfie
spot has caused all sorts of issues for
their Town CNN's Hano Montgomery tells
us how a much discussed solution to deal
with the surge of Out of Towners has
finally gone up this view once the
perfect snapshot of Japan's old and new
now has a black curtain
drawn overwhelmed by tourists blocking
roads
littering even trespassing onto private
property to take selfies the town of
fujikawaguchiko has now erected a black
curtain to block The View and deter
tourists much to the locals
relief there have been many accidents
involving foreign tourists
recently and to the dismay of visitors
so I think put a black panel on on this
road is is something with uh Brute Force
and I think they can do better for for
police Mount Fuji a UNESCO world's
heritage site and a Japanese icon
attracts millions of visitors annually
but post pandemic numbers have swelled
to record levels well beyond control
local authorities say causing human
traffic jams and garbage to litter the
sacred Peak the local prefecture now
says it needs to charge $13 per climber
and impose a daily hiker cap of 4,000 in
a bid to address over tourism starting
this season but as you can tell by the
crowds of people around me here one of
Tokyo's biggest tourist hotspot M Fuji
isn't the only victim of over tourism
it's a nationwide problem over 3 million
people visited Japan in the month of
April and though that's good news for
the economy post pandemic it's put a
strain on resources and local
communities earlier this year the
historic city of Kyoto had to close off
some alleys to combat G gisha Paparazzi
a name given to visitors snapping photos
of gisha without permission while
Kamakura a Seaside town just outside of
Tokyo is urging tourists to walk around
instead of taking the train to ease
congestion struggling to accommodate an
unprecedented surge of inbound visitors
many encouraged by a weak Yen local
tourist spots have resorted to taking
matters into their own
hands even if it means Cur
for an Instagram
hotspot 10-second trivia in what year
was artificial intelligence founded as a
field of research 1935 1956 1970 or
1983 if you said 1956 your intelligence
is not artificial in 1956 Dartmouth
college professor John McCarthy
organized a summer workshop around Alan
Turk's question can machines think m Ary
named the project artificial
intelligence and a field of research was
born Hollywood actress Scarlet Johanson
has some serious issues with the new
voice for the bot in an update for open
AI chat GPT the artificial intelligence
program with which you can have
conversations she says that voice sounds
eerily similar to hers CNN's Jason
Carroll is on the
story good morning Theodore good morning
you never saw her face in the Sci-Fi
romance title her but audiences knew it
was Scarlet Johansson's distinctive
voice portraying Samantha the synthetic
seral likee character in the 2013 film
you have a meeting in 5 minutes you want
to try getting out of bed you're too
funny the actor is now speaking out
against open Ai and its CEO Sam Alman
saying her real voice sounds too close
to the one open AI created for chat
gpt's updated model the artificial voice
goes by the name Sky here's a sample of
what sky sounds like hey there it's
going great how about you too similar
for Johansson she released a statement
saying my friends family and the general
public all noted how much the newest
system named Sky sounded like me I was
shocked angered and in disbelief Altman
fired back saying the voice of sky is
not Scarlett Johansson's and it was
never intended to resemble hers we pass
the voice actor behind Sky's voice
before any Outreach to miss Johansson on
open ai's blog it said the company
wanted a voice that was Timeless
approachable and it narrowed a field of
more than 400 voice submissions and
settled on a different actress saying we
believe that AI voices should not
deliberately mimic a celebrity's
distinctive voice Altman would not
reveal who they hire to voice Sky he
says to protect their privacy Johansson
isn't buying that saying not only did
Altman reach out last September with an
offer to have her voice chat GPT 4.0
which she says she declined she also
says two days before it was released
Alman asked her agent if she would
reconsider then he tweeted this on May
13th the day of its release just one
word her people we spoke to were split
on whether chat GPT Sky sounds similar
to Joan
I definitely see how it it sounds like
her do you think the voes sounds similar
yes no not really I don't think it
sounds similar I don't I think it's
distinct enough people can debate all
they want Johansson has hired legal
counsel saying this is about protecting
a person's likeness and identity as for
open AI it paused the use of Sky voice
and its products its CEO apologizing
saying we are sorry to miss Johansson
that we didn't communicate better
