Questions to Alameda County da pamela price. Theyve taken and taken and taken and weve never gotten anything back. The clock is ticking with another major strike on the horizon. The race to get a deal done with the auto workers union. I think i can bring this new perspective. Students get their say. The contra costa board of education is getting a unique point of view. Brings me happiness that we survived through all these 30 years. This San Francisco man is celebrating a huge milestone. While representing his community on the big screen. Heres the throw. And this game is over the nl wild card race is going down to the wire. And the giants keep fighting to make it into october. And we hope you are having a great start to your thursday morning. It is our second favorite day of the week, im Nicole Zaloumis. Im reed cowan. My favorite day is whenever i get to spend it time with the two of you. Oh reed. Hes sincere in saying that. I mean it. Now i was going to say friday was my favorite day but same now, reed. Good morning. Im gianna franco. Friday can be your favorite day. I think were just all excited about the weekend because we get a bit of a break. Hows it going to look . Absolutely, lets start off with Current Conditions and were getting closer to the first day of the weekend but we need to take a look at whats going only right now for thursday. Our current air quality in our east bay, still kind of sitting in the moderate to unhealthy category for sensitive groups and keep a close eye on this the smoke still moving its way in from north. With that onshore flow kind of just bringing it in from offshore too. Now later in the afternoon that will be the same trend heading into friday but i wanted to kick that off because right now we are waking up to some cloudy skies throughout the bay area. Little bit hazy into the afternoon hours. That will be noticeable especially off into the east bay. I asked nicole a second ago if she noticed it yesterday. She said not nearly as much but today you might notice it a bit more. 50s in the forecast currently throughout most odd the bay area. Low 60s in oakland for everyone coming in from out of town for dreamforce, this afternoon were expecting 60s and plenty of sunshine into the evening hours. Or the Late Afternoon hours into the evening hours tonight. Its going to be a Beautiful Day for us today. Today across the bay as we take a look at that bay bridge, still keeping it nice and cool along the coast and expecting 60s from the coast off into the bay. Later into this afternoon we will warm up into the 80s in our inland areas with plenty of sunshine. Even some low 90s off near brentwood and fairfield. Ill have more on that in a bit. But for now, gianna actually taking a live look at the bay bridge. I heard theres some issues out there. I want to send it over to you to see whats going on right now. There are, jessica, unfortunately, you know we always get that backup at the bay bridge with the metering lights getting turned on. Usually around 5 45. But they were flipped on earlier today because look at this backup. Theres a crash on the upper deck of the bay bridge with injuries reported. Involving a motorcycle. And it looks like everyone is going to be okay. But there are fire crews on scene as well as a lot of activity with chp. So the damage is done that ride into San Francisco is going to be a tough one this morning. You are seeing that backup there all the way to the maze already and it is barely 6 00. And those brake lights across the upper deck, extend most of the span at least until you get just past Treasure Island thats where the crash is. No word from chp when its going to clear or when theyll open up the right lanes. So in the meantime, you can stick with some alternate routes and you can use potentially the san mateo bridge if you use b. A. R. T. , there are delays this morning for b. A. R. T. Coming out of concord. So definitely keep that in mind. But that might be a good option for anyone heading into dreamforce this morning. Got a lot of people in town because of that. So howard is closed between 3rd and 4th street. We will keep an eye on the bay bridge traffic but yes, today is the last day of the dreamforce conference at San Francisco. And there were concerns earlier in the year when salesforce Ceo Marc Benioff talked about pulling the event from San Francisco if its affected by homelessness and drug use challenges. But attendees weve spoken to say so far, so good. More than 40,000 people are here in San Francisco for the event this week. And sfpd says currently there have been no major incidents to report. So thats good news. But one of the big topics of conversation at this years event is Artificial Intelligence. And weve taken the opportunity to focus on that a bit this week at cbs news bay area. Weve talked about ai being used in businesses and in entertainment and now were talking about ai being used in education. So our Shawn Chitnis is live from Stanford University this morning where ai is being shaped as a valuable tool. Shawn, tell us more. Reporter hey gianna, good morning. Yeah, theres a free resource available called c. R. A. F. T. Supposed to help teachers explain ai to their students and we were talk to talk to the director of that program. And he of course sees a lot of potential with ai but does have concerns as well. What he really wants people to focus on is just the necessity to understand it. He says were going to need to start teaching teens about ai just like we have all of them go through drivers ed. High School Students are at an age where the impact of ai will be felt no matter what they do next. College or career. Artificial intelligence is now a part of all aspects of our lives, whether its how we work, live, or play. Reporter so stanford education professor victor lee is one of the leaders for c. R. A. F. T. , a set of resources to help High School Teachers take on the topic. Everything that we do is going to be modified and affected because of this and it helps to make sure students are able to think carefully and responsibly. Reporter what most excites you about ai and what are you most looking forward to . Ai is going to really open up so many possibilities just as much as mobile devices made it possible for us to have games when were on the move and to take pictures when going somewhere. Reporter what most concerns you about ai . Im concerned that ai is not seen realistically in terms of being a tool that is really just a pattern recognizer or pattern matcher. Reporter c. R. A. F. T. Has lesson plans on different aspects of ai on its website right now. For high School Students, the issues created by this technology could be immediate, affecting the videos they see, and the music they listen to, as well as Software Like face recognition and other forms of identification. Those are issues that students should be thinking about now. Especially in high school. About matters of privacy, and what kinds of data they want to have out there. Reporter and so the professor adds that really is important for all of us, but especially teachers and students, to know when ai will be useful and when its not the right tool. And to go back to that comparison to drivers ed, theprofessor also says think of ai like car. Sometimes its a really useful and powerful tool, sometimes when its not used properly. It can be very dangerous. Guys, back to you. Shawn, thank you so much and yeah, you have to learn how to drive a car before you are on the roadway. So good theyre educating kids. And kids are on the roads so to speak. In fact 52. 9 of them on the social media post said that yes, they use it for essays and grammar checks et cetera. I think the keyword here is training and thats what governor gavin newsom said last week when he put in the executive order. Just pumping the brakes a little bit if were going to stay on the roadway theme. But training people to use it from kids to government officials, in an effective way and a safe way. Its going to change the way we do everything and because of that, bay area voices are really a part of shaping that national headline. Discussion on ai. In fact, to washington, d. C. Now. Where we are learning more about a meeting between lawmakers you see Mark Zuckerberg there. Also in the room elon musk and bill gates for kind of what was a crash course on ai. Lawmakers are considering potential regulations on this technology right now. And in fact, one of our reporters caught elon musk outside in the parking lot as he was leaving asking him about potential regulations. I think the probability of it being some sort of Ai Regulatory Agency stands on its own similar faa or ftc islikely at some point. You think so. The reason ive been before ai safety in advance of sort of anything terrible happening is that i think the consequences of ai going wrong are severe. So we have to be proactive rather than reactive. Proactive. But consequences severe, when we talk about ai this morning were looking at thing lake the selfdriving cars and word generating chatgpt and also likely what you are using right now in the homes with siri and alexa. Alexa, play music by elvis. Lets see if that turned on elvis if the home this morning. Also Major Companies are responding to president bidens request to sign a voluntary pledge to develop the technology responsibly. Who has signed . Well, of course salesforce ceo, also abody, amazon, pool, microsoft, and open ai. And while they signed, they are also mindful of a mountain of those issues with the technology. Were talking about copyright issues, robots taking jobs, and of course the Sticking Point in the hollywoodiers strike where it pertains to actors and their images being used and generated by ai. South bay lawmakers plans to introduce a bill to make it harder for studios to use ai to digitally clone an actors image and also mindful that state senator scott weiner is having a voice in this. Plans to go even further pitching and creating a state agency to make sure ai isnt being used for malicious purposes. The bill hes introducing is called an intent bill just meant to start a conversation. Nothing will happen by way of, you know, actionable items this legislative season on that. You aint nothing but a hound dog, reed. Wearing the blue suede shoes today. Tweet us if i started elvis in the bedroom this morning. I got nervous when you said siri too. I was waiting for the watch to trigger my phone to trigger. Hey siri, play elvis. Such a mean television trick that reed is playing on you. On this thursday. The time now 6 10. Oh. It worked. The summer of labor strikes could add yet another roadblock. The race to get a deal done today with the auto workers union. Ahead, a followup to the story we brought you yesterday. A potential tuition hike. Not potential. Its happening. How much more you are going to have to pay to get that degree. Tough on students and parents and their kids to college. Heres a live look outside before we head to break, you are looking at the bay bridge. We have a trouble spot causing a pretty big backup for anyone making the ride into San Francisco. Well have more on that coming up and of course jess david as we start a new school year, theres something new happening in californias public schools. Theyre called Community Schools. Leslie it really is shared leadership with families, students, educators, and communities. Jessie i feel like were really valued as partners. David its a more innovative, holistic approach. Grant in addition to academic services, we look at serving the whole family. Narrator wellness centers, food pantries, and parental education. Jessie theyre already making a difference. David californias Community Schools reimagining public education. At cretors, david californias Community Schools we handcraft every batch of our delicious popcorn. Like our cretors cheese and caramel mix. Great on their own, even better together. Try cretors, handcrafted smallbatch popcorn. Welcome back. Time now for a look at this mornings top stories. We start with the latest from pennsylvania. Where communities and authorities are finally breathing a sigh of relief one day after convicted killer Danelo Cavalcante was taken into custody. It started two weeks ago when the 34yearold escaped from prison and he was such a threat that authorities told residents in that philadelphia suburb to stay indoors. In just the past 48 hours. Police closed in on his location after cavalcante tripped a home alarm. And then an aircraft using thermal technology picked up the heat signal. After securing this location, Law Enforcement released a k9 who bit his scalp and thigh. They say cavalcante was cooperative after that. We can expect a preliminary trial in two weeks. Its a race against time for detroits big three automakers. As they work to reach an agreement with the United Auto Workers union. Nearly 140,000 individuals plan to walk off the job if an agreement is not reached by midnight. So far, Union Negotiators have rejected offers from ford, gm and stellantis and workers are demanding a 46 pay increase and other benefits. This comes after automakers disclosed record profit this is past year. And starting next fall tuition is going up for tens of thousands of College Students at californias csu system. The board of Trustees Vote today approve a multiyear tuition increase. The csu system is facing a deficit of 1. 5 billion. Tuition will increase 6 every year for five years in a row. And by 2028 29 that school year, tuition will be nearly 2,000 more. That applies to less than half of the students, those who either qualify for grants and waivers or those with higher family incomes. But thats still more than 180,000 students. So like i said, you just got to save more and i do wonder though because you have all the out of state colleges that are offering the recipro cal california tuition if it affects those. Rent for the student and you are going to see a lot of kids want to probably stay in their familys adus in the backyard. For sure. I mean we weve got a student in college right now. And im always like you know, get everything done with your education while you can still be here at home. Before you start like get it all done because i dont want her to start her life in debt. Or you know, make it more difficult for them. But it is going to make it harder. So a lot of people choosing also to serve in our armed forces to help pay for college and someone is our very own jessica birch. We cheer think morning. Thank you so much. R otc definitely helped me a lot. The most beautiful sunrise thats possible right . This is a live look from the Black Mountain cam and kind of overlooking the blanket of clouds in the Santa Clara Valley. This morning, thats going to take a while to retreat back to the coast. Watch this. Just around 7 30 this morning, were still seeing the dense clouds from redwood city down into mountain view. Pulling back slowly into our lunchtime hour. Along our coastline. Its still going to kind of blanket half of San Francisco though. Notice that split right in half just based off that train were going to see the cloudier side and then it wraps its way over into the overnight hours tonight. Set up for tomorrow mornings forecast where we are going to be waking up with more clouds for our friday setup. Now nicole and gianna, during the commercial break mentioned the voices were kind of scratchy this morning. Curious if it was dust . Today alone our pollen count is still in the medium to high category. This could be the case for you too at home. We also have smoke moving its way in from the north allowing for some poor air quality especially off into the east bay. This will continue to be the case for us in the friday forecast so right now as we take a look at the current air quality throughout the bay. East bay all the way up near napa and santa rosa were in the moderate to high category actually for unhealthy sensitive excuse me, unhealthy category for sensitive groups. As we wake up this morning. Well continue to monitor that as we head into this afternoon. Better conditions along the coast. Heres what were looking at as we head into the weekend forecast. Low pressure slowly creeping its way towards us. Thats going to change the direction of the winds and its also going to cool us off just a little bit more and also bring in some clouds too. Well notice that more in the inland areas though. 80s and 90s for us today for the thursday forecast. As we get closer to the weekend, temperatures are slowly going to start cooling down as the system moves in. Which is perfect because i mean, the first day of fall is right around the corner. Its already starting to feel like that. So 80s turning into 70s for our friends in our inland east bay. 60s stay consistent along the coast. As we head from north bay all the way into the Santa Clara Valley, 70s by the weekend and we hold on strong kicking into next weeks forecast. Now from San Francisco into oakland these are two may crew climates really not going to see too much of a change. Low 70s across the bay bridge into oakland. Mild conditions here. But speaking of the bay bridge, that connects the two. I heard theres an issue out this right now. Gianna . You know weve been monitoring this crash on the upper deck of the bay bridge and headsup if you are getting ready to make that drive into the city. I would definitely start leaving a little earlier than usual to deal with all of this. Unfortunately a motorcycle crash with injuries blocking a couple of lanes. Just got an update from chp tow crews are now on scene. There it is blocking the two right lanes but in the meantime, metering lights are now on. And this
