The newly completed bridge, which spans just under a mile, opens up previously difficult-to-reach land that the Catawba Indian Nation plans to develop. The tribe intends to use the land for new housing, court offices, and business ventures, which are expected to significantly benefit the community.
'It's gonna be a very prosperous zone as soon as it gets going and we will be getting up soon within the next year,' said Chief Brian Harris of the Catawba Indian Nation.
The development of new homes on the land will enable thousands of tribal members to return to the reservation, according to the Catawba Nation.
The Rivercrest Road Bridge project marks a significant step for the Catawba Indian Nation, paving the way for economic growth and community development on their land.

Snap is acquiring Saturn, a calendar app used at thousands of high schools
Snap has acquired Saturn , a calendar app for high school and college students. The company didn't disclose the terms of the deal but said that close to 30 of Saturn's full-time employees will be joining Snap as part of the acquisition. It's not clear what exactly Snap has planned for Saturn, but the company confirmed to Engadget that the calendar app will continue to operate as a standalone service. It also suggested that the acquisition could help Snap bring calendar-focused features into Snapchat. A calendar app may seem like an odd choice for Snap, but there's clearly a lot of overlap between the two services' users. According to Snap, about 80 percent of US high schoolers attend schools that support Saturn (its App Store page says it's available at more than 17,000 high schools). Snap is used by more than half of US teens, per Pew Research . Saturn is also much more social than the typical calendar app. It has a Snapchat-like design that allows teens to easily share and compare their schedules with friends. It also supports features specific to many high school students' routines, like block schedules, rotation calendars and extracurricular activities. Saturn also has features for college students, though it doesn't seem to be as widely used among that slightly older demographic. The startup, founded by Dylan Diamond (Saturn's CEO) and Max Baron (COO) has previously raised money from a number of high-profile investors, including Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and Jeff Bezos' Bezos Expeditions. Forbes reported in 2021 the startup had raised $44 million. Jim Lanzone, the CEO of Engadget's parent company Yahoo, joined the board of directors at Snap on September 12, 2024. No one outside of Engadget's editorial team has any say in our coverage of the company.

Google is using YouTube videos to train its AI video generator
Google is using its expansive library of YouTube videos to train its artificial intelligence models, including Gemini and the Veo 3 video and audio generator, CNBC has learned. The tech company is turning to its catalog of 20 billion YouTube videos to train these new-age AI tools, according to a person who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. Google confirmed to CNBC that it relies on its vault of YouTube videos to train its AI models, but the company said it only uses a subset of its videos for the training and that it honors specific agreements with creators and media companies. "We've always used YouTube content to make our products better, and this hasn't changed with the advent of AI," said a YouTube spokesperson in a statement. "We also recognize the need for guardrails, which is why we've invested in robust protections that allow creators to protect their image and likeness in the AI era — something we're committed to continuing." Such use of YouTube videos has the potential to lead to an intellectual property crisis for creators and media companies, experts said. While YouTube says it has shared this information previously, experts who spoke with CNBC said it's not widely understood by creators and media organizations that Google is training its AI models using its video library. YouTube didn't say how many of the 20 billion videos on its platform or which ones are used for AI training. But given the platform's scale, training on just 1% of the catalog would amount to 2.3 billion minutes of content, which experts say is more than 40 times the training data used by competing AI models. The company shared in a blog post published in September that YouTube content could be used to "improve the product experience … including through machine learning and AI applications." Users who have uploaded content to the service have no way of opting out of letting Google train on their videos. "It's plausible that they're taking data from a lot of creators that have spent a lot of time and energy and their own thought to put into these videos," said Luke Arrigoni, CEO of Loti, a company that works to protect digital identity for creators. "It's helping the Veo 3 model make a synthetic version, a poor facsimile, of these creators. That's not necessarily fair to them." CNBC spoke with multiple leading creators and IP professionals, none were aware or had been informed by YouTube that their content could be used to train Google's AI models. The revelation that YouTube is training on its users' videos is noteworthy after Google in May announced Veo 3, one of the most advanced AI video generators on the market. In its unveiling, Google showcased cinematic-level video sequences, including a scene of an old man on a boat and another showing Pixar-like animals talking with one another. The entirety of the scenes, both the visual and the audio, were entirely AI generated. According to YouTube, an average of 20 million videos are uploaded to the platform each day by independent creators by nearly every major media company. Many creators say they are now concerned they may be unknowingly helping to train a system that could eventually compete with or replace them. "It doesn't hurt their competitive advantage at all to tell people what kind of videos they train on and how many they trained on," Arrigoni said. "The only thing that it would really impact would be their relationship to creators." Even if Veo 3's final output does not directly replicate existing work, the generated content fuels commercial tools that could compete with the creators who made the training data possible, all without credit, consent or compensation, experts said. When uploading a video to the platform, the user is agreeing that YouTube has a broad license to the content. "By providing Content to the Service, you grant to YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use that Content," the terms of service read. "We've seen a growing number of creators discover fake versions of themselves circulating across platforms — new tools like Veo 3 are only going to accelerate the trend," said Dan Neely, CEO of Vermillio, which helps individuals protect their likeness from being misused and also facilitates secure licensing of authorized content. Neely's company has challenged AI platforms for generating content that allegedly infringes on its clients' intellectual property, both individual and corporate. Neely says that although YouTube has the right to use this content, many of the content creators who post on the platform are unaware that their videos are being used to train video-generating AI software. Vermillio uses a proprietary tool called Trace ID to asses whether an AI-generated video has significant overlap with a human-created video. Trace ID assigns scores on a scale of zero to 100. Any score over 10 for a video with audio is considered meaningful, Neely said. In one example cited by Neely, a video from YouTube creator Brodie Moss closely matched content generated by Veo 3. Trace ID attributed a score of 71 to the original video with the audio alone scoring over 90. Some creators told CNBC they welcome the opportunity to use Veo 3, even if it may have been trained on their content. "I try to treat it as friendly competition more so than these are adversaries," said Sam Beres, a creator with 10 million subscribers on YouTube. "I'm trying to do things positively because it is the inevitable —but it's kind of an exciting inevitable." Google includes an indemnification clause for its generative AI products, including Veo, which means that if a user faces a copyright challenge over AI-generated content, Google will take on legal responsibility and cover the associated costs. YouTube announced a partnership with Creative Artists Agency in December to develop access for top talent to identify and manage AI-generated content that features their likeness. YouTube also has a tool for creators to request a video to be taken down if they believe it abuses their likeness. However, Arrigoni said that the tool hasn't been reliable for his clients. YouTube also allows creators to opt out of third party training from select AI companies including Amazon, Apple and Nvidia, but users are not able to stop Google from training for its own models. The Walt Disney Company and Universal filed a joint lawsuit last Wednesday against the AI image generator Midjourney, alleging copyright infringement, the first lawsuit of its kind out of Hollywood. "The people who are losing are the artists and the creators and the teenagers whose lives are upended," said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., in May at a Senate hearing about the use of AI to replicate the likeness of humans. "We've got to give individuals powerful enforceable rights and their images in their property in their lives back again or this is just never going to stop."

David Sacks says overly strict US export controls may backfire because China's AI models are just 'months behind'
David Sacks says overly strict chip export rules may weaken US tech dominance in the long run. He said DeepSeek demonstrated China's ability to advance despite export controls. US chip export rules could end up helping Chinese companies like Huawei gain ground globally, he said. China is closing the AI gap fast, and the US must rethink its chip export controls if it wants to stay ahead, said David Sacks, the White House's AI and crypto czar. In a Bloomberg Television interview published on Wednesday, Sacks said that the US should be mindful of the speed at which Chinese companies are catching up in the AI race despite the chip export rules in place. Even though China is "supply-constrained" on the number of chips it can produce, Sacks said he expects that to change quickly. "Back in January, we had this DeepSeek moment where, before DeepSeek, people thought that Chinese AI models were years behind. And then DeepSeek launched, we realized that maybe they're more like three to six months behind," Sacks said. Sacks added that he thinks China might be one and a half to two years behind the US in chip design, but companies like Huawei are "moving fast" to catch up. "Even before they fully caught up, I think you will see them exporting their chips for the global market," he said, adding that this could cause the US to lose its edge. "If we're overly restrictive in terms of US sales to the world, I think there'll be a time where we're kind of kicking ourselves when, all of a sudden, Huawei is everywhere," he said. "We'll be saying, well, wait, when we had this whole market to ourselves, why didn't we take advantage of the opportunity and lock in the American tech stock?" Other tech leaders have similarly highlighted concerns with US export controls, which often hit their businesses' bottom lines. During the Computex Taipei tech conference in May, Nvidia's Jensen Huang slammed US chip export rules because they encouraged Chinese tech development. "The export control gave them the spirit, the energy, and the government support to accelerate their development. So I think, all in all, the export control is a failure," Huang said. He added that Nvidia's market share in China has decreased to 50%, down from 95% four years ago. Bernstein analysts said in an April note that banning Nvidia chips is unlikely to stop China's AI progress, as Chinese firms are turning to domestic alternatives like Huawei. "In the longer run, expect Huawei to keep closing the gap in performance and Chinese foundational models making up for compute deficiency with Deepseek-like innovation," the analysts wrote. A representative for Sacks did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Read the original article on Business Insider
