VITALS: Kansas State is coming off its third consecutive loss after falling to Wichita State. Once again, the Wildcats' demise was caused by an ugly second-half performance. They are last in the conference but can reciprocate that with victories over Big 12 opponents. They face a Bearcats team tied with Iowa State for the top spot in the conference.

QUOTABLE: "[Consistency] is what we haven't been able to get, whether at practice or in games," coach Jerome Tang said after Wichita State loss. "Buddy goes for 20 tonight, but then we have other guys who don't play up to what we expect from them. As a coach, it's hard to figure out what to do if you don't what you're gonna get from each guy every night. So we have to figure out how can we get the same production from each guy every night, rather than guessing."

Four die by suicide in alleged attempt to attain ‘spiritual emancipation’ in Tiruvannamalai  The New Indian Express

With large data breaches increasing in healthcare, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is proposing to modify the HIPAA Security Rule to require health plans, clearinghouses and most providers and their business associates to strengthen cybersecurity protections for individuals’ protected health information. 
This marks the first time HHS has sought to update the HIPAA Security Rule since 2013.

The rule would clarify and provide more specific instruction about what covered entities and their business associates must do to protect the security of electronic protected health information. The proposed rule also would require that policies and procedures be in writing, reviewed, tested, and updated on a regular basis. OCR said that it would also better align the Security Rule with modern best practices in cybersecurity. 

These proposals address:
• Changes in the environment in which healthcare is provided.
• Significant increases in breaches and cyberattacks.
• Common deficiencies OCR has observed in investigations into Security Rule compliance by covered entities and their business associates.
• Other cybersecurity guidelines, best practices, methodologies, procedures, and processes.
• Court decisions that affect enforcement of the Security Rule.
For instance, the proposed rule require greater specificity for conducting a risk analysis. New express requirements would include a written assessment that contains, among other things:
• A review of the technology asset inventory and network map.
Identification of all reasonably anticipated threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI.
• Identification of potential vulnerabilities and predisposing conditions to the regulated entity’s relevant electronic information systems
• An assessment of the risk level for each identified threat and vulnerability, based on the likelihood that each identified threat will exploit the identified vulnerabilities.
It also would require network segmentation, and vulnerability scanning at least every six months and penetration testing at least once every 12 months.
“Cyberattacks continue to impact the healthcare sector, with rampant escalation in ransomware and hacking causing significant increases in the number of large breaches reported to OCR annually. The number of people affected every year has skyrocketed exponentially, a number we expect to grow even bigger this year with the Change Healthcare breach, the largest breach in our health care system in U.S. history,” said OCR Director Melanie Fontes Rainer, in a statement. “This proposed rule to upgrade the HIPAA Security Rule addresses current and future cybersecurity threats. It would require updates to existing cybersecurity safeguards to reflect advances in technology and cybersecurity, and help ensure that doctors, health plans, and others providing healthcare meet their obligations to protect the security of individuals’ protected health information across the nation.”

OCR has seen a substantial increase in reports of large breach reports received over the last five years. From 2018-2023, reports of large breaches increased by 102 percent, and the number of individuals affected by such breaches increased by 1002 percent, primarily because of increases in hacking and ransomware attacks. In 2023, over 167 million individuals were affected by large breaches—a new record. Since 2019, large breaches caused by hacking and ransomware have increased 89 percent and 102 percent.

While HHS is undertaking this rulemaking, the current Security Rule remains in effect.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Texas lawmaker proposed a bill that would regulate artificial intelligence in the state.
State Rep. Giovanni Capriglione (R-Southlake) filed House Bill 1709 for the upcoming legislative session.
According to a press release, the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act (TRAIGA) would “establish a comprehensive framework for the ethical development, deployment, and oversight of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within Texas.”
KXAN’s approach to AI
Proposals in the bill include:
Requiring companies to disclosure whether they are using AI
Strengthening safeguards to protect personal data used in AI systems
Promote education and training for the AI-driven economy
Establishing guidelines to prevent bias, discrimination and misuse of AI technologies
“If you just let AI run un-tethered, it does become biased, because information that it scans is biased, and so that’s why it’s really important to understand, how is it trained? What is it trained with?” said Matt Rosen, CEO and Founder of Allata.
Allata is a technology consulting firm that helps automate companies through AI.
“Organizations are coming to us because they’re trying to figure out, what should we do with it? How should we use it? How do we protect our data?”
Matt Rosen, Allata CEO and Founder
When it comes to regulating AI, Rosen said there is not much out there on the federal level.
“Now it’s being left to the states, but you have to think, in the next few years, there’s going to be legislation at both levels, and then are they going to overlap?” Rosen said. “I think regulations should be maybe a little more relaxed than strict, given that we’re still really as a civilization, figuring out how this stuff actually works.”
Rosen called it a “cautious balance” the Texas Legislature is going to have to walk.
Along with regulations, Rosen put an emphasis on education and training for AI as well.
“It’s better to understand it, not be scared of it, but embrace it and know its positives and negatives,” Rosen said.
TRAIGA also focused on creating protections from censorship by making sure AI systems used for content moderation are, “transparent, unbiased, and accountable, safeguarding free speech.”
“HB 1709 reflects extensive consultation with members of the public, industry leaders, academics, and advocacy groups,” Capriglione said. “By balancing innovation with public interest, we aim to create a blueprint for responsible AI use that other states and nations can follow.”
How Texas may craft policy for artificial intelligence usage
For those in the testing phase of their AI programs, the bill creates an “Artificial Intelligence Regulatory Sandbox Program” that allows for temporary exemptions from certain regulatory requirements during that time.
