Bible Verses of the Day
46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. 48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” [Matthew 12:46-50, ESV]

In Yucatán, Mexico, where suicide rates are twice the national average, the government has implemented a new mental health initiative powered by AI. The centerpiece of this effort is MeMind, a smartphone app designed to assess and monitor suicide risk through AI-driven diagnostic tools embedded in its surveys, according to a report by Rest of World.
Since its launch in 2022, MeMind has attracted 80,000 users and, according to officials, contributed to a 9% reduction in the state’s suicide rate. The app’s main feature is a 15-minute mental health questionnaire that analyzes users’ responses to determine their level of risk.
For individuals identified as higher risk, MeMind provides personalized follow-ups and alerts health teams to potential crises. Within just two months of its debut, the app flagged over 200 high-risk individuals, according to former Governor Mauricio Vila Dosal.

President-elect Donald Trump has surrounded himself with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs — including Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, and David Sacks — who are now advising him on technology and other issues. When it comes to AI, this crew of technologists is fairly aligned on the need for rapid development and adoption of AI throughout the U.S.
However, there’s one AI safety issue this group brings up quite a bit: the threat of AI “censorship” from Big Tech. Trump’s Silicon Valley advisers could make the responses of AI chatbots a new battleground for conservatives to fight their ongoing culture war with tech companies.
