Finding a balance between new technology and the irreplaceable human touch. Can they coexist . Everyone just put they time and work the community in me literally. What i want to be is be the community in me and bring it right back. Theyre role models recognized as leaders in oakland. Plus have you ever thought with your dream job would be . You might be able to swim your way through the summer. Those swimming pools look so refreshing and its friday. Maybe thats in your future. Im gianna franco. Six figures to take a dip and take pictures . Im in from the neck up for me here. Good morning, everybody, im reed cowan and lets take a live look outside on this friday morning. We are diving in for a friday swim so to speak. And look at that. It looks like that layer of ick is not quite as low the morning as weve seen it in other mornings and jess were smiling back at mother nature. Absolutely. When reed was in las vegas for the super bowl. And reporting live from that pool. That was probably my favorite coverage. That pool was heated. It was so warm. I love that. That makes so much sense and its vegas they do everything extra there. All right. Lets take a quick look outside real fast. They already mentioned it that fog layer is not as low. Actually that marine layer is not as low as what were used to during this mornings setup. Usually around this time the past couple of days weve been dealing with it so low you can barely see Salesforce Tower but Salesforce Tower is 1,000 feet high and we can see the whole thing this morning. Great news there. Lets take a quick look around the bay area as we wake up and head out the door. We are dealing with 0s and 60s currently in the forecast. But just like yesterday, its another beautiful warm day into the afternoon hours. Cloud layer will continue to lift and it will move off to the coastline and breezy Cool Conditions along the coast into this afternoon to kick off the friday in style but for the friend in the east bay anywhere from concord into livermore all the way over into antioch too, its another day of upper 70s in the forecast for us. A similar trend down into the Santa Clara Valley too where as we wake up this morning that cloud layer is holding on tight above us, but surface level visibility, its just fine. So getting to work or school this morning, before we head into a beautiful weekend is going to be perfect. Theres plenty of events happening, for example, concord has the fair going on this weekend. In San Francisco, its bay to breakers this weekend and i have your forecast for you coming up for both of those in just a little bit. But for now, lets check the roads outside because at least its clear in some spots. G. But is the fog impacting anyone . Not necessarily on that ride along highway 1 or 280 which is good news but maybe on some of bay area bridges. I did are a little bit of that moisture this morning on my windshielding in to work. So a little bit of that happening on the roadways and just keep that in mind. San mateo bridge, looking good so far no delays there. And looking at the Golden Gate Bridge, fog, not too bad. Were actually moving okay with good visibility heading into San Francisco right now. So not a bad commute there and in fact its friday light and most of the major freeways now. Theres a lot going on this weekend. That includes a weekend closure along highway 37. Well have more on that coming up in just a bit. But you have got that and you have also got bay to breakers happening in San Francisco so theres going to be some street closures there as well. Reed . Traffic with g and g means go in the morning. The man convicted of attempting the kidnap former House Speaker nancy pelosi and attacking her husband in that hammer attack will learn his fate in federal court today. David depape was already found guilty and admitted to breaking into the home in San Francisco back in october of 2022. Prosecutors asked the judge to lock him up for four decades which would mean that depape faces being a prisoner into his 70s. Second trial in state court will start in coming weeks. In berkeley, police cleared out a group of pro Palestinian Protesters who occupied the socalled anna head complex. After an hours long standoff riot police busted down the doors of the closed building and arrested 12. The building is now barricaded but this time by police. For a third time, uc regents kicking the can down the road to restrict employees from posting personal views on campus web pages. A t the meeting in merced while protesters camped outside, regents faced criticism by pro palestinian activists that to not allow professors to post is an incursion on educator free speech. Well a vote to allow educators to post on socalled secondary sites will now happen in july. Update in the world of tech. Cruise reached a multimillion Dollar Settlement with a woman who was hit and dragged by one of the vehicles back in october. You remember this one. Now the Autonomous Car company is paying as much as 12 million to settle that dispute. California dmv suspended the driverless taxi license in San Francisco. Cruise released a statement saying their hearts are with the pedestrian and they hope for her continued recovery. Well, this week, the Artificial Intelligence company very tone announced a partnership to protect the Digital Asset of performers name and image and likeness. Now it comes after the growing reach of ai was a major concern during contract negotiations with the unions for actors and writers last year. Wow, caa gets involved they mean business. Shawn chitnis here with us now and you have the perspective of a voice actor based here in the bay. And the continuing challenges that ai presents to actors who need to have that autonomy in reality. Reporter its something that weve certainly been following and on this particular week, we also want to emphasize that openai showed us the new developments with chatgpt where there are improvements in the voice. You can really have a conversation. And so thats why the actors that we are talking to particularly one voice actor based here in the bay area, says that whenever it comes to advancements in ai, she proceeds with caution. Listen, well, well ill show you how to reporter black top hoops is a vr video game now available and thats the voice of joy ofhudu you hear in one of the games players. The full release the week for play on vr headsets comes years in the making. Well after joy voiced this character. Whether you are recording inperson or at home, voiceover takes time. Reporter as a professional voice actor based in the bay area, shes keeping a close eye on the latest developments for all things ai. I was interested and excited a little bit nervous. Scared. And as someone who has publicly spoken about ai and my concerns as a voice actor, i now a lot of the alarm bells would be kind of winging as well. Reporter this weeks announcement that very tone and caa have created the vault to store and protect Digital Assets caught he attention. Shes optimistic about steps like this to secure any work that use hearse voice. They can come in and they can make sure that their scans and their recordings, everything is being done is theirs. Reporter the two Companies Say the vault will ensure an artists voice is only used when they want it to be. And theyre getting paid for it. Im okay. Reporter but voice actors like joy say Cyber Security is a growing threat for her line of work. And its too early to know if anyone can truly store voices safely. There are always legal and ethical concerns with ai and voice work. And now there could be an issue of access. Who will be able to use this technology to protect their voice . Anytime that i see developments in ai particularly as they relate to voice, it concerns me for independent artists. For those of us who are professional working artists and actors. Sorry dude, i cant hear you. Reporter joy says shes fortunate in these Uncertain Times to keep getting more work. Whether its in the animated series the sales off or the independent hand drawn film beverly bunny. Murder, what murder . When was the murder . Reporter but beyond the concerns over ai creating an unfair landscape for voice artists, she also worries about it moving the craft away from the art of performing. We voice act not because we just want to receive a check. Every now and again though the check is nice. Voice acting isnt the most lucrative industry and not the most lucrative kind of acting per se. We do it because we love the performance. Reporter so some important take aways for all of us as we continue to follow these developments closely. We got to be more critical of all of the content we see now and question specifically what we are hearing. Right . Because audio is going to be the easiest to manipulate. But also artists like joy want to point out hey, i am able to thrive in the bay area doing this kind of work. So at least we can say that, you know, theres that entertainment scene here. We are not necessarily in l. A. s shadow. There are so much opportunity for someone like here. Voice work especially we saw the advancement happen during covid. When we were forced to do so much at home. Voice actors now have their own studios and you used have to go somewhere to record all this stuff. I feel like that part of technology was great. Adding the ai to it, makes me a little concerned. And i hope it works out because it really is a great industry and a lot of fun. Im glad to see shes doing a little pushback and my goodness making it look good. Talk about the 80s cool story. Can we see the story once an how long. We will. Thank you, shawn.

My little cousin and nephew is going to look at me. Reporter and royal is creating the path for his family to now follow in his footsteps. And we can see and celebrate oakland promise. They tell us in keeping their promise to oakland, theyve helped more than 1,000 families with infants lifted up and supported tens of thousands of elementary and middle and High School Students and can boast more than 2,000 bridges built to College Education and less than a decade of service. And that indeed, we say is keeping a promise. Look at all the kiddos. I love it. Thats the future right. So many are going to the next phase in their life but you do learn a lot about the amazing kids and organizations who you know, wasnt so easy to get there. But there are communities and people who help and look at that. Yeah. Now we just need the Business World to look at that and see that asset and bring them on in. Make a space for them. And i hope that happens. Good kids out there. Lets take a live look outside, hey, its friday morning and yay. Im so ready for it. And it was a little misty on my drive in. Of course jess will have a look at whats in store for you for the weekend. But first, jessica, you have got some pretty incredible video coming out of texas this morning. Absolutely. G, a powerful storm system pummeled the area of houston leaving trail of destruction. And the violent hurricaneforce winds actually slammed the city. Bringing in flash flooding and tornado warnings and knocking out power to thousands of people after pummeling power transmitters. And the building partially collapsed right behind me. That was just the site of it. That was just being torn away. Were hearing at least four people were killed in the storm and one of them died after being hit by a falling crane and check out this video behind me of the downtown skyscrapers. They were just complete lebron out. It was the side of building that had the damage too. Two men were inside of that highrise and they described this chaos and how they may say they actually saved a mans life. Were in the restroom and we hear everything screaming and coming towards the restroom and theres like dust blowing down from the ceiling tiles. A guy who came running in and had a gash on his arm about eight inches and we had to put a tourniquet on it. The as were in houston playing the astros and the heavy rain somehow made it into the minute maid park. Now it blew through the cracks of the retractable roof across the outfield and despite that happening the game was played as normal. So lots happening right now just in the region. Thats one of the big weather headlines for statewide story but as we take a look statewide stories. But as we look at whats happening for us here in the bay area, our weather headlines are a lot more detailed when it comes to a calm and mild forecast for us right around the corner. Now as we take a look outside on morning like this, it is a mild weather pattern for us. We have daytime highs once again sitting right where we should be for this time of year, 60s and 70s in the forecast widespread throughout the bay area. Some 50s trickled in along the coastline. Highs are going to remain right where they should be for this time of year heading into the weekend and we dont have a lot of changes around the corner. Lets dive into the weekends forecast and starting off with tomorrow and of course sunday too. Beautiful conditions for us as we head into the next couple of days. For antioch if you are planningen heading over to the Contra Costa County fair, lots of things happening widespread throughout the bay area. Like bay to breakers too in San Francisco. So if you are thinking of heading out for that or trying to figure out what outfit to wear and plan ahead. Keep in mind were expecting 50s in the forecast on sunday just in the city of San Francisco. Today, were sitting in the 60s. Thats going to be a beautiful setup to kick this weekend off. Its still cool and cloudy right now throughout the bay area. But heading into the afternoon, just like clockwork, all week long, weve been seeing that cloud layer break apart just around 10 00, 11 00. Pull back along the coast. And suddenly were left with sunny skies and 70s and 60s anywhere from napa down into areas like livermore. Live in the Santa Clara Valley, this was what were waking up to right now. See all the puffy clouds kind of just blanketing us right now . That layer is going to start pulling back just like the past couple of days and along the coastline as we head into the afternoon hours. Were left with sunny skies and 70s in the forecast for us. So with that in mind, were heading into the weekend and as we gear up for next week too, we have some beautiful weather in store for us. Were talking about sunshine and 80s around the corner as we head all the way into our monday and tuesday forecast. Of next week. Whats happening is High Pressure is moving its way in. Slowly but surely and that will continue to warm us up into mid next week. Well see some partly cloudy skies by late next week as well. G . Im going send it over to you. All right, thank you. Lets talk about the roadways right now. And if you are getting ready to hop on the Golden Gate Bridge this morning, you have got plenty of time to have that extra coup of coffee. Its friday friends and friday light on the roadways. Some good news there to report. If you are getting ready to make your drive into San Francisco right now. Things are pretty smooth through here. And really no fog to slow you down. The one thing i did deal with this morning though was my wind shield wipers were going. You might have a little mist on your wipers for your drive in. Just be careful and all right, heres an overview and look at this. Not bad at all and in fact, pretty quiet really our only spot where were tracking some busy conditions and some brake lights is that ride as you work your way into the altamont pass. But no surprise there. Supercommuters, you kind of know what to expect for that commute heading over from tracy on to 580. Im showing highway 37 right now. For now, its open and its moving along well in both directions. But theres a full weekend closure eastbound 37 between sears point and south of sonoma and mare island in vallejo. This is road work and starting tonight at 10 00 and extenduntil monday morning at 5 00. Plan for that and detours gets really busy in and around there when we have the closures. We are a little over an hour away from part of highway 1 near big sur reopening. Governor Gavin Newsoms office says thats eight days ahead of schedule. Back in march if you remember a storm triggered a rock slide and left this section of the road impassable. The only way in and out has been two daily convoys but now with a temporary signal highway 1 will be open 24 7 to oneway traffic and thats happening at 6 30. Reed . Now a live look at hayes valley in San Francisco. Where work has been put in there. Number 788 on that street.

Hi, thanks [coughing] copd isnt pretty. Im out of breath, and often out of the picture. But this is my story. and with oncedaily trelegy, it can still be beautiful. Because with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler, trelegy keeps my airways open for a full 24 hours and prevents future flareups. Trelegy also improves lung function, so i can breathe more freely all day and night. Trelegy wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high Blood Pressure before taking it. Do not take trelegy more than prescribed. Trelegy may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. Call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur.

Whats the weather going to be like . Microphone. Be perfect. Thats what i was trying to say just a second ago. Oh. Goodness gracious. It will be beautiful as we head into this weekends forecast. Kind of lake what weve had the past couple of days where its been cool and cloudy in the Morning Hours like what we have right now. But then that cloud layer pulls back along the coast into the afternoon. Its exactly whats happening for us this weekend and thecloud layer is already pretty high for us right now. Salesforce tower is about 1,000 feet high and you can see the lower ceiling of it right now in the next couple of hours and through the afternoon well continue to watch the clouds pull back. Left with plenty of sunshine in the inland areas and daytime highs still near normal. Meaning mostly 70s in our inland areas and 60s and 50s along the coast and peninsula and in the next couple of days its going to be beautiful for us if you are planning on heading to the Contra Costa County fair with 70s and 80s for the daytime highs. Today, tomorrow, lasting into the sunday forecast over in antioch. Or maybe you are gearing up and getting ready for bay tobreakers. Right around the corner folks one of the best things to do in San Francisco with bay to breakers if you want good entertainment and people watching. Were expecting 50s in the forecast on sunday but lets take a quick look at the rest of the bay area starting off with todays forecast. Live near petaluma or santa rosa, today beautiful sunshine in the afternoon and were expecting 70s in the forecast there. If you live closer to antioch or concord, well, once again, upper 70s in the forecast and we have some low 80s throughout the bay area earlier this week. Especially off in the east bay. And down into the Santa Clara Valley. Well see that again as we head into next week with sunnier skies actually around the corner as we head into next weeks forecast too. More on that coming up. For now over to you, g. Jess, thank you. Pretty easy and in fact seamless commute for most of the bay area bridges and its still quite early. And its friday. So two good things to report right now as you commute out on the roadways. Plenty of time to have a little extra breakfast or the extra coffee or maybe watch a few more minutes of us. Why not . Couple of things happening over the weekend to plan for. Theres the closure eastbound 37 westbound lane will be open eastbound will be closed pretty much between sears point and mare island. That starts at 10 00 tonight and it extends all the way through the weekend. So do plan for that it gets very busy in and around there when they make these construction closures. Reed . All right, g, taking a live look from the city of San Francisco. You know, despite the city spending hundreds of millions of dollars to fight homelessness the situation is not getting better. In fact new numbers show the citys Homeless Population now stands at more than 8,000 People Living on our streets. Thats up 7 from 2022. Now theres good news here too. More people are inside shelters and theyre getting the services that shelters provide. We know we have a large portion of people also living in cars so not much improvement there. That reality only went down 1 in the Homeless Count that happens every two years. You know, the city gets an overwhelming number of calls about people on the streets who are homeless and sometimes it can take police weeks to respond. So lauren toms shows you a group called the heart team. They have the sole purpose of responding to nonemergency calls. Reporter Kenneth Franklin has been given a Second Chance at life. And hes using it to give others a Second Chance too. We pan out of my day the society, right . So i never look at it as me like giving someone something, its more of me like giving them what i owe them. Reporter that debt comes from serving time behind bars. Facing 59 days, eight months and four days for gang related activity he was released after 16 years. Today, hes using that experience to offer a helping hand to people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco. I was the person destroying our community. Right . And now i have an opportunity to build up our community. And thats what i came out here to do. Thats my mission. To build up the community. Reporter and hes doing that by giving people a little bit of heart. As part of the homeless engagement assistance response team. Theyre an alternative to police that has proved its worth in its very first year by responding to thousands of nonemergency calls that can take police days or even weeks to get to. It helps the Police Department to focus on things more intense. We get more of those because normally, nine times out of ten, its someone thats homeless. Right . Or and we have that factor where we are more relatable and its more of a calmer situation when we do approach. Reporter today he uses that experience to offer a helping hand to people experiencing homelessness and he responds to a trespassing call in soma made by a resident who called the Nonemergency Police line. But instead of an armed officer, kenneth responds with his partner rachel. Armed with only narcan and snacks and compassion. And director of Emergency ManagementMary Ellen Carroll says its one of the most successful Response Teams in the city, having responded to over 14,000 calls in the last year. They filled a gap that we didnt have before. With people to be able to answer these particular level what we would consider, you know, low priority calls. Reporter shes heard criticism over city spending on the handful of pricey response programs that according to a 2023 city audit, dont always fulfill their promised metrics. But says each cater to a specific need for people who continue to face homelessness, Substance Abuse and mental hillness but for kenneth its a cycle thats proving its effectiveness that a little heart goes a long way. I start understanding my value and my worth right and because i understand my worth now i can project that on to others, right . That love that i have for myself. I can show you look, i love i love myself so i can show you that i love you. Right and you should love you. Right . This is why i do the work that i do. Well, that heart team is busy. Of all the 911 or 311 calls that came in to first responders, they took 80 of the calls last year and because of their intervention hundreds ended upwith a roof over their heads. A little love and kindness. Former president Donald Trumps historic criminal trial is getting closer to the finish line. Yesterday, his former Attorney Michael Cohen faced aggressive crossexamination over his history of lying under oath. Trump has denied he did anything wrong as he faces 34 felonycounts closing arguments are expected early next week. Another attempt to allow access to some psychedelics in california has fizzled out at the state capitol. The bill from San Francisco senator scott wiener would have created guidelines for a psychedelic assisted therapy and who can become licensed to assist patients. Well, the bill was placed in the suspense file and that means democrats leading the Senate Appropriations committee were able to kill the bill without bringing it to a vote. The Justice Department has formally moved to reclassify marijuana as lower risk. For more than 50 years, weed has been categorized as a schedule 1 substance. That classification is shared by drugs like heroin and ecstasy and instead, pot would move to a second 3 controlled substance. Alongside drugs like ketamine and some anabolic steroids. California republicans are headed to burlingame for their Spring Convention and all things trump appear to be taking center stage. Case in point, a north dakota governor thought to be Donald Trumps top choice to be his running mate is going to speak along with trumps daughterinlaw laura trump. So at 7 00 a. M. On pix , the professor will give us a little bit of a primer on the republican drum beat to try and reclaim the white house. Meanwhile, governor gavin newsom used highprofile speech on Climate Change out of all places, the vatican. And there he delivered some sharp criticism for former president donald trump. The governor blasted reports that trump met with fossil fuel executives and asked them for a billion dollars in donations to his election campaign. Open corruption. A billion dollars to pollute our states, to pollute our country, and to pollute this planet. So im very proud of living in a state thats pushing back against that agenda to roll back progress. Newsom was one of three u. S. Governors invited to speak at that summit. He touted californias leadership regardless of what happens at the national level. Meanwhile, concern but optimistic. Thats how pope francis described the state of the world during a historic interview with cbs news airing this weekend. On 60 minutes. Our own Norah Odonnell anchor and managing editor sat down with the pope. This is the first time a pope has given an indepth oneonone interview to a u. S. Broadcast network. And when it comes to cutting down on pollution theres one thats overlooked but it has a huge impact. Emissions from ports. As itay hod is about to show you, one man is on a mission to fight Climate Change and is making waves at the port of oakland and beyond with a device thats basically a giant vacuum cleaner. Heres how it works. Reporter for more than two decades, mike walker worked his way to the top of the tech world. Earning a mid six figure salary as the ceo of several successful startups. But even though he was living the dream, something was missing. Super important to find the reason why you want to do something. Reporter his latest venture, stacks, might just be the holy grail of business. Making money out of thin air while also saving the planet. For the last couple of years, mike and his team have been on a mission against emissions. His Company Builds green barges like this one that essentially serve as giant vacuum cleaners. Capturing exhaust from container ships while theyre berthed at ports. This is our boom. This is 245 feet. Its extends itself up and over vessel. Where a long elephantlike trunk comes down and we put that over the top of the stack. And thats where the emissions are gathered. Reporter a 2020 study done in spain showed 265,000 premature deaths were attributed to Global Shipping emissions. State regulations require vessels to plug into an electrical grid known as shore power. Which allows ships to turn off their engines while at berth. But thats not always possible. Any given year, we see around over 8,000 vessel visits. Reporter angela is the air resources supervisor at the California Air and Resources Board and she says the problem is many of these ships are too old and dont have the infrastructure to connect to a power grid. We do see, as a very good alternative, for vessels to use it if they dont want to invest into shore power. Reporter today, mike and his team are helping a vessel whose electrical outlet is too far to reach. A massive bendable arm is deployed from the barge and hovers over the ship. And an engineer then connects it to the smokestack like a giant range hood. Within seconds, the black smoke is gone. We get to see in very clear terms the smoke going away from being distributed out into the air and being captured into these systems. So its its a really, you know, almost instant gratification. Reporter sailing towards a Sustainable Future while trying to keep our planet on course. Coming up, chance to be famous while making six figures swimming. Huh. G. Curious.

Thats been delivering this very calm, quiet weather pattern pretty much all week long. Yes, we get that marine layer in the Morning Hours and reed mentioned the winds its a little bit breezy right now near San Francisco but lasting into this afternoon, well continue to see that onshore flow become a lot more apparent in areas like bodega bay and halfmoon bay and breezy conditions are expected all the way up near napa and sonoma this afternoon. Close to around 15 miles per hour. But winds went really that big of a concern for us. Daytime highs are still staying right around average and 60s in the forecast for us today near San Francisco. You head just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, suddenly were talking about 70s all throughout marin and all throughout sonoma and napa and some 60s actually trickled into napa as well. In the east bay a beautiful forecast this afternoon and really heading into this weekend. Were not seeing too much daytoday changes. Early next week, High Pressure moves in just a bit more and that system sitting offshore. And that will warm us up just a smidge more and give us more sunshine too. For example, right now were still waking up to the cloud layer all throughout the Santa Clara Valley. Its going to start lifting and it pulls back along the coast as we head into the afternoon hours leaving us with sunshine and 70s today. But by early next week, we wont even have clouds to be talking about. Here let me show you what i mean by that. Like i said High Pressure will be moving in and it dries and warms us up. In the 80s as soon as monday and tuesday and wednesday of next week. With plenty of sunshine in store for us as well. Thats our inland areas though. If you live closer to the bay, for example, San Francisco, oakland, daly city, a little bit cooler when it comes to our daytime highs and were still sitting in the 60s for now and we return into the 70s as soon as monday and sunday of next week and holding on tight to the monday forecast excuse me, tuesday forecast actually with mid 70s in the forecast for us there. Plenty of sunshine and no rain in sight for now. The Climate Prediction Center showing above normal conditions for our daytime highs and below normal conditions for rainfall. But well have more on that in a bit. For now over to you, g. Jess, thank you. A couple of things to look out for now this morning. Live look here at the bay bridge, metering lights just turned on about ten minutes ago. So you might see some slight delays once you are past this point as you get through the metering lights and on to upper deck but still safe to say its friday light and typically this already backed up to maybe the first overpass. Not the case today. So some good news there. Now i want to focus your attention on your drive if you are headed along 680. Your route this morning. Northbound between mission boulevard and auto mall parkway. A road closure. This is due to a crash and chp has a Traffic Alert that has been issued through there. All lanes are blocked. So stick with 880 or surface streets until things open up. Its been out there for about 30 minutes now. And they just closed the lanes to clear everything out of the way theyve got tow crews arriving on scene and hopefully that will help in the meantime though were seeing a bit of a backup.
