The 22-year-old Enola Holmes star and the 24-year-old son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi tied the knot in May 2024 and announced they had adopted a baby girl the following August.

Who decides what AI tells you? Campbell Brown, once Meta’s news chief, has thoughts

Published by skeptic

Campbell Brown has spent her career chasing accurate information, first as a renowned TV journalist, then as Facebook’s first, and only, dedicated news chief. Now, watching AI reshape how people consume information, she sees history threatening to repeat itself. This time, she’s not waiting for someone else to fix it. Her company, Forum AI — which she discussed recently with TechCrunch’s Tim Fernholz at a StrictlyVC evening in San Francisco — evaluates how foundation models perform on what she calls “high-stakes topics” — geopolitics, mental health, finance, hiring — subjects where “there are no clear yes-or-no answers, where it’s murky and nuanced and complex.” The idea is to find the world’s foremost experts, have them architect benchmarks, then train AI judges to evaluate models at scale. For Forum AI’s geopolitics work, Brown has recruited Niall Ferguson, Fareed Zakaria, former Secretary of State Tony Blinken, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and Anne Neuberger, who led cybersecurity in the Obama administration. The goal is to get AI judges to roughly 90% consensus with those human experts, a …

In 2009, he pleaded guilty to violently assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna. Earlier this year, he appeared in court in London over allegations involving a bottle attack at a London nightclub in 2023. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. In response to …

Andie MacDowell, Yvette Nicole Brown Join Ceremony

Published by Daniella Wilson

Alliance for Women in Media Foundation is adding more star power to the 51st annual Gracie Awards. The gala, set to take place at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on May 19, will see a Gracies Icon Award be presented to Andie MacDowell while the ceremony will feature a performance from Mickey Guyton and be hosted by Yvette Nicole Brown. Per the organization, the icon trophy is designed to honor a woman “whose impact extends far beyond entertainment” to how women are seen, what they can be and how they influence audiences. Rather than award it based on a particular role or performance, it is doled out for a body of work “defined by authenticity, resilience and an unwavering sense of self in an industry that rarely makes space easy.” MacDowell qualifies thanks to a resumé that includes Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Green Card, Groundhog Day, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Maid (in which she starred opposite her daughter Margaret Qualley), and the current series The Way Home. In 2025, she celebrated a 40th …
