Now, that test is expanding to one more notable country. After initially keeping its facial recognition test off in the United Kingdom, Meta on Wednesday began to roll both of the tools there, too.

United States President Donald Trump has been true to his threats. On Tuesday, the Trump administration unleashed 25 percent blanket tariffs on Canadian imports, excluding energy, which was hit with 10 percent.

A federal judge in Northern California denied Elon Musk’s motion for an injunction that would have halted OpenAI’s planned transition into a for-profit company, Bloomberg reported. Musk failed to provide enough evidence necessary for an injunction, U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled Tuesday.
