Judges increasingly use AI tools for critical decisions, from sentencing to risk assessment, fundamentally changing justice delivery. Public confidence in the fairness and legitimacy of AI-assisted court processes is paramount. Dr. Brian Barry's TEDx talk proposes a roadmap: just as judges follow conduct principles, AI tools must follow good design principles.

This roadmap involves three milestones: defining AI principles, translating them into technical guardrails, and rigorously testing for trust and procedural fairness before deployment. This ensures AI adoption enhances, rather than undermines, judicial legitimacy. Dr. Barry, an Associate Professor at Trinity College Dublin, leads research on how AI design impacts trust in judicial processes, including his €2 million JUDGEASSIST project.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Animal Biosecurity Association (WABA) are launching a webinar series on animal biosecurity, promoting its sustainable implementation across educational, institutional, and field settings. It improves animal health, production, One Health, and food security with practical tools to manage infectious disease threats at the animal-human interface. Presentations include Gonzalo Abad on a data-driven framework for modeling biosecurity risk and Géraldine Boseret on avian influenza preparedness and early action. These sessions demonstrate how evidence-based analytics enhance biosecurity strategies for prevention and response.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Animal Biosecurity Association (WABA) are hosting a webinar series on biosecurity in animal populations. It explores consistent, sustainable biosecurity implementation to improve animal health, production, One Health, and food security.

The series offers practical tools for managing infectious disease threats. The first introduces a data-driven framework to identify disease risk and optimize biosecurity investments. The second addresses avian influenza, focusing on occupational exposure and preparedness, including targeted biosecurity and business continuity. These demonstrate how evidence-based analytics enhance prevention, protection, and response in livestock systems.

Karen Colbert's talk challenges AI's neutrality, revealing how systems reproduce historical inequities due to incomplete data and narrow assumptions. Drawing on her experience, she reframes the discussion, empowering audiences to shape AI for expanded opportunity rather than reinforced barriers. As a data scientist, education strategist, and national advocate, Colbert champions culturally grounded STEM and AI education.

She chairs the General Education Department at Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College, advancing literacy for Indigenous and adult reentry learners. An RStudio Scholar and a leader among Tribal Colleges, Colbert spearheads national efforts to reimagine STEM and AI through Indigenous frameworks, promoting cultural integrity and digital sovereignty. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

The Trump administration is initiating oil and gas lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's Coastal Plain, inviting companies to identify drilling sites. This 1.56-million-acre area is the biological heart of the Arctic Refuge, vital for the Porcupine caribou herd, migratory birds, and polar bears.

Industrializing this irreplaceable sanctuary will harm wildlife and accelerate climate change. The Arctic is already warming four times faster than the rest of the planet. Drilling will displace animals, endanger polar bear families, and pollute air and water, fueling a climate disaster. Past lease sales have failed due to public demand for protection over short-term corporate profit. Stand up for the Coastal Plain.
