The Trump government opened roughly 175 investigations last week into violations of H-1B visas, including poor pay, fictitious work locations, and the practice of "benching" workers. U.S. President Donald Trump seems to defend the H-1B visa program, claiming that the country lacks "certain talents" and must import expertise from around the globe. In response to a question in an interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News regarding whether the H-1B visa issue will not be a major priority for his administration and whether the country cannot be flooded with hundreds of thousands of foreign workers if one wants to raise wages for American workers, Mr. Trump stated, "I agree but you also do have to bring in talent."

"You can't take people off the u...

By identifying uncommon sperm cells, AI assisted a couple in becoming pregnant after 19 years. Find out how this innovation was made feasible via Columbia University's STAR system. They tried everything for 19 years. After two excruciating surgeries, numerous IVF rounds, and innumerable unsuccessful attempts, it was announced that there was no sperm to be found. Then came the unexpected turn of events: a computer discovered what people couldn't. An artificial intelligence system created by Columbia University researchers can identify even the rarest sperm cells, which are frequently overlooked because they are concealed in what appears to be a barren sample. Sperm Tracking and Recovery (STAR), a breakthrough that has already resulted in the first verified baby, has the potential to completely change the landscape for couples dealing with severe male infertility. In this instance, the AI found two viable sperm cells—enough to aid the couple in becoming pregnant—after scanning ...
