During a chat with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt in Los Angeles, Kutcher sang the praises of Sora, OpenAI’s generative video tool, Variety reported. “I have a beta version of it and it’s pretty amazing,” Kutcher, 46, said. “You can generate any footage that you want.

As his recent and moving testimony before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee reveals, Ashton Kutcher seems to be doing some great work combating the horrendous evil of worldwide sex trafficking. His
testimony was hailed by conservative and liberal media alike. I wish him much success, and I hope he continues his efforts for many years to come. However, I challenge Mr. Kutcher to go farther when it comes to battling evil in the sexual realm. As he began his speech, Kutcher passionately declared that he was there to "defend the right to pursue happiness." He was referencing the U.S....

The United States will deploy additional forces to Iraq and make Apache attack helicopters available to support the country's troops, US Secretary of Defence Ashton Carter said Monday in Baghdad. President Barack Obama hailed the 2011 withdrawal of American troops from Iraq as a major accomplishment of his presidency, but the US
has been steadily drawn back into the country since the Islamic State jihadist group overran swathes of territory in 2014. Washington heads an international coalition that is carrying out strikes against IS and also providing training and other assistance to forces fighting the jihadists in both Iraq and...

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said Tuesday that the U.S. will begin "direct action on the ground" against ISIS forces in Iraq and Syria, aiming to intensify pressure on the militants as progress against them remains elusive. "We

U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter warned Thursday that Russia’s expanded military presence in Syria could worsen the conflict and empower the Islamic State group. Speaking
at a Pentagon briefing, Carter said that Moscow’s buildup in Syria could “pour gasoline on the (ISIS) phenomenon,” because of their backing of one of the extremist group’s top enemies -- the embattled government of Syrian President Bashar Assad. “To pursue the defeat of ISIL without at the same time pursuing a political transition is to fuel the very kind of extremism that underlies ISIL, and if that’s the Russian view that’s a logical contradiction,”...

Pentagon chief Ashton Carter issued a strong statement Thursday in support of closing the United States military prison at Guantanamo Bay. At a press conference at the Pentagon, Carter said the military prison in Cuba should be closed before President Barack Obama leaves his post in 2016. “This
