SUMMARY: Georgia’s Senate Study Committee on Artificial Intelligence has unanimously approved a 185-page report recommending legislative action to regulate AI. The report calls for state legislation that enhances data privacy and updates deep fake laws without stifling innovation. Chairman Sen. John Albers emphasized the need for transparency and a state board for AI oversight. The bipartisan committee, formed in March, gathered insights from experts across various sectors, aiming to balance AI’s benefits with ethical concerns. Members expressed the importance of protecting Georgians while promoting effective AI use, with hopes for further legislative action beyond their disbandment on Dec. 15.

SUMMARY: In a concluding session of the YSL trial, defendants Diamon Kendrick (Yakti) and Shannon Stillwell learned their fates. Kendrick was acquitted of all charges, including murder, while Stillwell was found guilty of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and sentenced to 10 years, with credit for time served. Jurors deliberated for four days, rejecting allegations that the defendants were part of a violent gang conspiracy. Both defense teams expressed satisfaction with the verdicts, noting the jury’s careful consideration of evidence. Despite the outcomes, both men remain in custody due to additional pending cases.

The remaining YSL defendants — Deamonte Kendrick and Shannon Stillwell — in the current trial learned their fates in a Fulton County courtroom this morning. Both men were found not guilty of the most serious charges.

SUMMARY: Damonte Kendrick, one of the final two YSL defendants, is recovering after being stabbed in jail. His attorney reported that Kendrick is alert and expected to make a full recovery, despite needing stitches. The incident occurred during a physical altercation at the Fulton County Jail. As a jury deliberates Kendrick’s fate for alleged gang-related crimes, they have requested to review evidence, including music and surveillance videos. Kendrick’s attorney argues that the prosecution has not proven their case under the RICO Act. The jury, after a three-day deliberation, has taken a break for lunch before resuming.

YSL defendant Deamonte Kendrick was stabbed in jail on Sunday. However, he was back in court on Monday morning. The jury is still deliberating the fate of the last two defendants in the current trial.
