A 15-year-old boy was critically wounded Saturday evening in a shooting on the West Side, Chicago police said.

Just before 5:30 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a call of a person shot in the 100 block of North Lavergne Avenue in the Austin neighborhood.

When officers arrived, they found the 15-year-old who had been shot in the chest area. The teen was transported to Stroger Hospital, where he was last listed in critical condition.

Chicago police said they had nobody in custody, and detectives from Area Four were investigating.

What happens if you shoot down a delivery drone?
As deep-pocketed companies like Amazon, Google and Walmart invest in and experiment with drone delivery, a phenomenon reflective of this modern era has emerged. Drones, carrying snacks and other sundries, are being shot out of the sky. In the Florida case, Walmart was conducting delivery demonstrations in Clermont, Florida — roughly 25 miles west of Orlando — when a loud sound was heard during the craft’s descent.

CIOs' concerns over generative AI echo those of the early days of cloud computing
When I attended the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium in May, it struck me that as I listened to CIOs talking about the latest technology — in this case generative AI — I was reminded of another time at the same symposium in around 2010 when the talk was all about the cloud. It was notable how similar the concerns over AI were to the ones that I heard about the fledgling cloud all those years ago: Companies were concerned about governance (check), security (check) and responsible use of a new technology (check). Today, CIOs recognize if they just say no to generative AI, employees are probably going to find a way to use these tools anyway.
