Warmed up just a little bit today. Its so funny because alex, a few days ago was was wanting warmer weather and mark you delivered but for alex. But how long will it last mark somehow. Yeah, just in time for the weekend. Alex looks like we want to talk about some cooling back in the picture. So celebrate today and actually tomorrow as well. Tomorrows still be will still be fairly warm. In fact, today a lots of 82 reports so far across the bay area. So definitely a noticeable warm up out there as we really scaled back on the fog. Lots of sunshine. You can see the high as the preliminary numbers for today. Healdsburg, saratoga 87, walnut creek 85, sonoma 84 and then a bunch of low 80s from gilroy at dublin to Castro Valley out towards san mateo as well. So these numbers, in fact, today, probably the warmest day of the week, we will begin to trim back on these readings as we head into your wednesday. But the real cooling thats going to move in by friday and into the weekend as a system for the north moves in. No real rainfall expected, but it could send maybe some drizzle out toward portions of the coastline. In terms of the rainfall right now, its focused up to our north up in the pacific northwest. Clearly a lot of green showing up on the radar for seattle and portland. For us here in the bay area, we have lots of sunshine. The low clouds and fog. Theyre still out there, but they are primarily south of the region. Heres a closer look at the satellite. And if you look, maybe looking out toward the satellite from south of monterey, we have that fog bank out there and we will likely have some redevelopment near portland, redevelopment near portions of our coastline later on tonight into tomorrow morning. But heres some patches out toward monterey, out toward Pacific Grove this afternoon, as we check out the current numbers across the state, you can see a big range out there from 56 in eureka, south lake tahoe. Right now, 61 looks like Santa Barbara 64. So with that, the fog nearby. But look at palm springs, 96 degrees. Heres a closer look at our temperatures right now for the 4 00 hour. And definitely warming up. Look at santa rosa. Mid 80s livermore 83, oakland 72. In San Francisco its a nice day in the city. Upper 60s with just a change in the wind direction that allowed those temperatures to warm up for today. Earlier, we were actually seeing more of an offshore breeze out there. But right now we have those winds increasing out of the west up in sonoma county, santa rosa gusting to nearly 30 miles an hour. So more neighborhoods for you, sfo and northwest wind at about 20 and Mountain View at about 16 miles an hour. So heres our camera once again showing you some sunshine up above. We will bring in some patchy fog overnight, so partly cloudy skies, some coastal fog out toward the coast, and maybe right around the bay. So well start out tomorrow morning in the 50s. Here we are, 50 to 58 degrees and then into the afternoon hours. Partly cloudy for the coast. More sunshine inland. Its still a warm wednesday, but not as warm as today. 60 all the way to 83 degrees and we will eventually cool things off quite a bit as we head toward the weekend. Well have more on that with your full update coming up in a little bit. Okay. Thanks so much, mark. Really looking forward to the remainder of the week. Appreciate it. Well, a Big Insurance Company just became the target of the Alameda CountyDistrict Attorney. The Farmers Insurance is accused of illegal steps to defraud customers. Our tom vacar has been looking into these allegations that include tom lowballing claims and this lawsuit. Boy, it comes at a really crucial time as the state faces an insurance crisis. Well, the states in a crisis. And of course, the insurance commissioner is trying to make a deal with the Insurance Industry. Thats pretty adamant that they dont want things to be the way they used to be. On the other hand, pamela price, the District Attorney for Alameda County, says, wait a minute. You guys need to do what needs to be done in order to make sure that people have some sort of insurance. And one of the things she says she found out and is alleging in her lawsuit is that basically the software they use to set the price of your insurance, especially when you first get it, is really weighted in favor of under bidding what your house is really worth in order to give you a lower rate to close that sale much more quickly. Thats essentially what shes saying. She says. The problem with that is on the back end, when you have a coffee park or you have a paradise and then you come to rebuild your house, suddenly you dont have enough insurance and shes saying thats just not right. And she alleges in this lawsuit that thats basically whats going on now. What that means is that thats a mis determination of the insurance rates themselves. It also means that the cost of the replacing the home is also misrepresent. And that amounts to, in her opinion, false advertising, false advertising, because youre not giving the consumer enough time and enough opportunity to go check with somebody else. And that amounts to Something Else called unfair competition. Finally, fraudulent business practices. Thats the end. All catch all for all kinds of crimes that are not crimes. But in this case, civil actions. But they can also be crimes if theyre serious enough. The point of it is all of that stuff adds up to basically having a situation where she feels the best way to resolve this is in a court now. She never has said she wouldnt settle this thing, but shes not about to accept what the insurance commissioner is doing as the end all be all, because part of this Software Problem is that the Insurance Industry moving forward wants to use a new kind of software called Artificial Intelligence. And because of that, she says, well, if this software is bad, that stuff is likely to be as bad or worse. Thats it in a nutshell. And thats the situation that the District Attorney is trying to deal with. And the Insurance Industry says the following. They say farmers. They say that the allegations in the complaint are simply incorrect and we do not seek to provide low replacement cost estimates. Thats what theyre saying. But the lawsuit is going on. They say they want to sit down and talk to the District Attorney about it. The District Attorney is saying right now, were going to do our talking in court. Back to you and tom. This also follows a similar move by the District Attorney only targeting Auto Insurance companies as well. Thats exactly right. About three weeks ago, she filed a lawsuit against auto insurers. And that was a usaa and progressive and she said in that particular case, they used software that basically when your car is totaled, when your car is totaled, you supposed to get a check for a certain number. They say that number is always lower than it should be because of the way that software was designed. If she proves this, this is going to be very serious for two reasons. Number one, the penalty is going to be great big. But number two, the restitution going back and paying all those folks back for stuff that they didnt get would be a very substantial kind of lawsuit. Whether or not it succeeds, we dont know. But i tell you what, these guys, these insurers have a lot of money, a lot of attorneys, and theyre definitely going to fight this one. Okay we will see what happens. Again. The Alameda CountyDistrict Attorney going after Farmers Insurance this time around. All right. Tom baker reporting live for us there in alameda. Thank you tom.

Were talking about the issue of missing and oftentimes murdered indigenous people. And advocates say the rates of these types of crimes soars well above the national average. Thats why they held a News Conference and rally today at San Jose City hall to try to draw attention to the issue. Our south bay reporter, jesse gary, live now outside city hall with more on todays action. Jesse. Guys, good afternoon to you. The Indian Health institute recently did a study showing california has the sixth highest death rate of Indigenous Women, in the state of california, and that has led them to sound an alarm to galvanize both the public and private sector to take action. And, they hope, save lives. The rhythmic drum beats and ceremonial dance belie a cultural pain. Few know for members of indigenous tribes, old wounds from centuries old mistreatment continue haunting their lives. The yurok tribe has declared a state of emergency on their reservation because so many tribal members have gone missing at San Jose City hall tuesday, a call to action on the issue of missing and murdered indigenous people, or mip. There is a nationwide epidemic of violence against indigenous people, especially women and girls. Advocates say Indigenous Women vanish at a rate that is ten times that of white women, often, they say, the response for calls for help falls on deaf ears. And thats the problem. The police dont look for our missing and murdered indigenous people. This woman who wants her identity concealed, points to the case of khadijah britton. She was last seen when she was 24 years old in february 2018, as her exboyfriend forced her into a car at gunpoint in mendocino county. The fbi is offering 10,000 in reward money for tips leading to her whereabouts. The family did most of the searching, yes, and the sheriff. I dont know why they didnt call in a helicopter. Drones horses, atvs. Its definitely a pattern. Every time thats a Family Member goes missing or is found murdered, it affects the family, of course, deeply, but it ripples out and affects our whole indian community. Advocates hope having a conversation about inequities will lead to collaboration between Community Members and policy makers to eventually create a safer culture where all people are less at risk of violence. We are still here. We are still here. We are. Conversation continues friday from 530 in the afternoon until 8 00 at night. A Panel Discussion between Community Groups and policy makers at San Jose City hall to make sure the rhetoric that you heard today matches future actions live downtown san jose, jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news okay, jesse thank you. Well, now to the controversy over open ais new Virtual Assistant. The San Francisco based company has suspended the release of one of the Voice Options for that system because it sounds strikingly similar to actress Scarlett Johansson. Johansen played the voice of an ai Virtual Assistant in the 2013 film her. Good morning, theodore. Good morning. You have a meeting in five minutes. You want to try getting out of bed . It looks like its going to be quite the professional production. Is this announcement related to openai . Perhaps it is. And in fact, and that was part of a live demonstration by openai using a voice the company has dubbed sky johansen said in a statement. The voice sounds eerily similar to mine, but the company says it was actually done by a different professional actor. Still, openai said it suspended the use of sky out of respect. Johansen also said that last year, openai asked her to license her voice for the companys Virtual Assistants, but she declined as she said shes really shocked and angry that the company pursued a voice that sounds so similar to hers. And according to a report from npr, johansens legal team is now asking openai to detail how it developed that sky voice. So lets talk more about all of this, especially the legal questions being raised by this latest controversy with jd harryman, an attorney at the Foundation Law group, which specializes in intellectual property issues. Thank you so much for joining us. Jd johansson, she is clearly upset, says she feels betrayed, but does she have a copyright claim here . Well, she would have a name, image and likeness claim that is protected by law, especially in the state of tennessee. They have the strongest laws against name, image and likeness because they just added one that includes voice. So she has remedies for that. But i dont think that is really the big question here for her. I believe the danger is if openai did use somebody else to make a voice that is her type, that means the window is closing for celebrities and actors to license their ai rights to companies, because they may not be needed. Eventually how much do you think we should read into the fact that openai immediately suspended the use of the sky voice for its Virtual Assistant . Do you think that this signals that the company is aware its sort of toeing a fine legal line here . Well, i dont think that has any real legal significance that you could use in a court. Now, from a practical standpoint, i did find it interesting. They agreed to stop it immediately. Maybe theyre going to modify the voice. I did see that, sam said they used five actors to generate the voice, not a single actor. And its a synthesis of multiple voices, maybe they want to get it a little bit less like Scarlett Johansson. Yes when you talk about, though, this action that celebrities need to take to come up with some deals for ai. I mean, how important do you believe that that is . And are you saying that that is really the only way to protect their their likeness, their voice . They will always be able to protect their voice and likeness from unauthorized use. If its an exact copy of their, voice or likeness, especially one generated by by ai, what they are risking is near copies or similar voices or ai generated actors altogether, replacing them as actors. So if its good enough to be used for this application, they risk not being needed anymore. Basically, how much does it matter to Scarlett Johanssons legal case here . Whether or not openai used clips of her actual work, or just created a voice that that happens to sound similar to hers . Thats a very important issue. You raise a good point. The socalled rules against ingesting copyrighted material, from any source, let alone actors or actresses, is at the heart of some of the openai controversy. Going on right now. It sort of is a scary i dont really know if scary is the right term, but not ideal situation or future that you are sort of projecting, predicting for actors, it seems as though that youre encouraging them to do something now, because this could eventually happen to just about anyone. And if they do in fact decline to be a part of to take a role or to be a part of a project, that then i will just generate something that sounds oh, so close. I think thats true. I think there, there window of leverage is closing. If this is adequate and it gets better and better, the ai voices and images that they lose more and more leverage. I think now is the time to start making deals for, nil name, image and likeness with ai companies. Okay, so what does that process look like . What are the legal steps that someone can take, whether theyre a Scarlett Johansson or, you know, maybe someone whos not not as well known as her . What steps can you take under the law to protect your your voice, your image and your likeness . You just have to monitor. So right now, the existing laws again will protect you from someone making an ad using your exact voice that will always be protected. Thats existed for a long time, im saying that the need to use any actors is the risk theyre facing right now. Where do you see this issue, this controversy between Scarlett Johansson and openai ai going . I think theyll come to some sort of an agreement. And will it benefit johansson, or will it benefit openai . I think it will benefit Scarlett Johansson. Interm right now she has the leverage. Yes do you think so . How much do you feel like the circumstantial evidence we were talking about, the circumstantial evidence here in this case seems pretty strong in Scarlett Johanssons favor. I mean, sam altman, a huge fan of her movie, a her movie her, in which she was played the Voice Assistant, they asked her to use her voice. She declined several times. And all of a sudden you have a Voice Assistant that sounds like Scarl
