Canada, other countries struggling to come up with new rules for AI and copyright
The battle between AI companies and copyright holders notched an early win for publishers in the U.S. in mid-February when a court ruled that a legal research firm didn't have the right to use a rival's content.
But even as the number of legal cases grows, a definite answer to the question of whether artificial intelligence companies can use copyrighted content to train their AI products is still a long way off.

The attributes of God
Psalm 5:4–11
After the plea in Psalm 5:1–3, David begins to think through the day that spreads out before him, giving extra consideration to those he would encounter. His song addresses four specific realms of interest (vv. 4–11).
1. David meditates on the Lord Himself (vv. 4–6)
2. David describes himself (vv. 7–8)
3. David describes his enemies (vv. 9–10)
4. David describes the righteous (v. 11)
Let's examine each realm of interest, beginning with the first: God Himself.
Joly says Ukraine needs a security guarantee after Trump-Zelenskyy fight
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly said Friday there's a good chance that Russia could re-invade Ukraine if there are no security guarantees in a peace deal.
Her comments came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump engaged in a shocking verbal brawl in the White House.
The two countries were expected to sign a critical minerals deal as part of efforts to end Ukraine's war with Russia, but after Zelenskyy insisted that the deal include security guarantees from the U.S., Trump showed open disdain for the Ukrainian president.

The Psalmist’s plea
Psalm 5:1–3
Some psalms are difficult to outline; others easily lend themselves to an organized layout. Psalm 5 falls in the latter category. It begins with a plea (vv. 1–3) directed to the Lord, whom David addresses, “O LORD...my King...my God...O LORD.” It concludes with a promise (v. 12). Sandwiched between the plea and the promise are four descriptions.
I observe three things in David's introductory plea.
First, it was a "morning" prayer. Twice in verse 3 David mentions that it was "in the morning" that he met with his Lord.
