Israeli settlers attacked residents in the West Bank village of Ma'in on Saturday, injuring six people including four women and a child, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said, in a series of assaults on Palestinian olive farmers documented by Al Jazeera.

A new analysis by Al Jazeera contends that the global conversation about artificial intelligence has been hijacked by apocalyptic doomsday prophecies, which are being exploited by large technology companies to push regulations that target open-source AI models.
