>> this job is actually barely minimum wage. after you factor in expenses. >> right now i don't have a job, that's the only reason i'm driving and i'm in-between jobs. >> it's hard enough for some people to get work, but could it become even more difficult? artificial intelligence is here to stay. but at what cost? a debate comes to san francisco this morning. i think one of the things that's most important about this is that the community has ownership of what we're doing here. you know, it's not just me. it's for the city. it's for the people. >> painting their way to a bay area bounce-back. the san jose community coming together to help breathe the life back into the city. if not me, then who? if not me that helps change their behavior and how they think, then who? >> a bay area trailblazer representing her community while changing the landscape of leadership. and we wish you good morning. whether you are changing the landscape of leadership or doing something else. lights you up and is your passion in the bay area, we welcome into the broadcast. i'm reed cowan.

>> i'm gianna franco and might be bit tough as you head out the door. straight to traffic right now. especially for our friends and commuters traveling through san jose this morning. this is a live look at northbound 101 in san jose. you see that big rig toppled over. it's been out there for several hours. it's blocking the connector to northbound 880. northbound 880, that connector is also completely shut down until further notice. they've got to clear this out of the lanes and a lot of debris in the roadway as well. a lot of sand barrels were damaged in this accident. so just be careful as you head through there. traffic is starting to slow down just a little bit and again with tow crews on scene hopefully they'll get this big rig upright and get it out of lanes. now let's look at the maps right now and kind of show you how slow it's getting on the northbound side of 101 almost backed up to the 280 and 6780 connector. so still bearable for the most part for the commute but if you want maybe stick with 87 or 280 as the alternate. all right, a live look outside on this wednesday morning. and we wanted to show you this and just take a pause as we start this hour of news.

beautiful sunrise over the bay. and aren't we lucky to be here? and be community and be neighbors and friends. and really, a family. let's go over and talk to jessica burch right now about the weather. how can you look at a day with anything but positivity when you see something so beautiful? >> absolutely. and all of us are going to experience today just a little bit differently. no matter whether it's you know, work, e events, school, whatever it may be. but at least this forecast is oh gosh, such a breath of fresh air honestly. we're waking up with clear conditions already and you saw that on the live look. in the 40s and 50s as we head out the door this morning. clear conditions over the golden gate bridge too. so not an issue with that morning fog. it's a thing of the past. we'll see june gloom around the corner. but we're done with may gray for now. we're going to continue to warm up as we head into thefection couple of days. daytime highs already sitting above average for us this afternoon. we'll continue to watch that until the friday forecast as high pressure moves in from offshore. kind of creates a heat dome over us here in the bay area. and that's going to keep us nice and warm heading into the next couple of days with plenty of

sunshine like you see behind me over oakland. where later today, we're actually going to be hitting 77 degrees. across the bay bridge right there, over into san francisco, 71 this afternoon and we hit the 80s today anywhere from petaluma north into santa rosa. 60s along the coast. and speaking of 80s, concord and antioch, we're already getting close to the 90s by early next week. we will actually see some 90s return into the long-range models. we are starting to see this summer-like weather pattern and we are going to have more on that coming up in a bit. but for now over to you. reed. all right, thank you my friend. the man convicted in the hammer attack on the husband of former house speaker nancy pelosi says he is sorry for the crime that ended with a 30 year prison sentence. we're talking about david depape. who told the judge that after breaking into the pelosi home back in 2022, he should have just left when he realized nancy pelosi wasn't there. but instead as we know, he stayed and caused paul pelosi to have a skull fracture. in november, a jury convicted him with assault and attempted kidnapping. so that phase

closes out the federal case. now depape faces state charges. we understand opening statements in the state charges case happen this morning. and then another big case to talk about this morning is an old case. we're talking about the man convicted of murdering his wife and unborn son who is now fighting to clear his name in a san mateo county courtroom this morning. that's scott peterson right there. sentenced to life in prison without parole in the deaths of laci and son connor in 2000. well, now fast forward and the l. a. innocence project argues that dna evidence will clear peterson. who's currently serving a life sentence at mule creek state prison in amador county. well, we also have the update to a breaking news story we brought you earlier this week. some answers about the fire that torched this east oakland lumber business and caused for 24 hours air quality warnings that started sunday night. firefighters now tell us they know where the flames started and they just don't know how. look at this video flying over the scene. this fire fight took the might of 80

firefighters over on high street in oakland. because of their efforts, the enormous fire that caused so much damage did not spread to nearby buildings. herculean. some people in antioch are are worried about losing an important transit option. they're fighting back ns a plan to close the antioch pittsburg amtrak station. the platform in downtown antioch will shut down next year. to make way for the opening of a new station in oakley. as wilson walker reports, there's concern the closure could cost the city in more ways than one. >> last time it came, it was like here and gone. >> reporter: april hill has come to the antioch pittsburg train station to send a visiting friend back to the san joaquin valley and she knows it probably won't be long before antioch says farewell to its downtown train station. the plan is to open another stop to the east and downtown oakley and when that stop is open, the antioch stop will be decommissioned. hill says it

has already been scaled back to the bare minimum. >> yeah, a few years. they have gotten rid of the benches and the -- ticketing kiosk it looks like. doesn't -- it's, i mean, it wasn't really like really nice before. but now it's even -- emptier. [ laughter ] >> reporter: for starters, it's a loss for antioch passengers and a loss for a downtown which many see as improving. and then there's a potentially larger cost. >> our entire vision for downtown was shaped around this amtrak station. >> reporter: mayor lamar hernandez-thorpe is taking about how state and federal dollars for affordable housing are often tied to transit corridors. >> it literally cuts developers off certain funding they can get, subsidies they can get from the federal and state funding because we will no longer have a major transportation hub in downtown antioch.

>> reporter: the san joaquin regional rail commission says it's been planning the move since 2017 citing issues with homelessness and vandalism. the commission also says the distance between antioch and oakley doesn't allow for both stops. >> you know, we've talked to our congressmen. they're involved. they've talked to our assemblymember and he's involved, but the end of the day, this is not an amtrak issue. this is a san joaquin joint powers authority. they have the power to reopen and reactivate the train station. >> reporter: as the date draws closer, local citizens have been building a campaign to stop the closure but even the mayor says that at this point, a change of direction is unlikely. >> i don't think we can probably change their mind. i think they changed their mind a few years ago. >> reporter: now antioch is trying to set up a new kind of transit hub to maintain eligibility for those housing dollars. what is the time frame here? well, amtrak thinks construction will start in oakley sometime in october of this year, that will take about a year. barring any unforeseen circumstances, it looks like antioch's last train will leave the station sometime in last 2025.

well, looking live now at sfo. a virgin atlantic flight heading to san francisco from london was turned around midair because of a cracked windshield. this is according to the "chronicle." the pilot reported it somewhere between greenland and iceland three hours into the flight. the plane landed safely at heathrow tuesday morning. the airline apologized to passengers for the flight delay and inconvenience. it's kind of like having your kid go off to college right? >> a stanford born space camera reaches new heights in more than one way. where massive digital camera from the bay area went and some community pride that is connected to this very morning broadcast. plus, are you feeling better about the economy? a new survey says

did my legs shrink? i can move them. i mean, i knew alaska airlines' premium class had extra legroom but this... this feels different. okay. crazy idea. on the count of 3... i'm going to try and cross my... ohhhhhhhhhhh boyy that's nice. woooooo! ( ♪♪ )

welcome back everybody. forgive my. you are looking at world's largest digital camera designed by stanford scientists. the pictures that this camera will take will revolutionize our understanding of space and astronomy. but before taking pictures of outer space, the camera had a long and very risky journey on planet earth from the bay area to the andes mountains in chile and of course this is pretty

important and delicate and expensive equipment to move. brian hackney shows you how bay area strength and smarts made it happen. >> three. >> reporter: inside this room, the world's largest digital camera is finishing off ten years of construction. destination? universe. margo lopez has spent five years preparing for one day. the day the camera is finally shipped off. >> i'm personally really interested in this project because it really feels to me like a progression in astrophysics and for the sake of curiosity. >> reporter: but first, it somehow has to get from stanford to this remote mountaintop in chile. >> kind of like having your kid go off to college, right? it's exciting and it's also a lot of anxiety that goes along with it too. >> reporter: travis lang is the project manager and this is not like shipping something on amazon.

>> all the -- they're all color coded and a whole bunch of different color codes and that helps us when we're at the airports so that things get on the correct trucks. >> we've got a number of trucks coming to -- day one we're going to have six trucks come and we're going to load all of the crates, two of the containers and get them all to the airport that day. then the next day at 4:00 in the morning, we need to load the camera container on to a truck and take it to the airport. >> reporter: and this is the lsst camera. we were the last to get a look at the camera inside its 20-foot shipping container. sitting on springs to cushion the ride. >> all of this equipment is going to travel on a 747 freighter. >> reporter: that meant a late night trip to sfo. maybe the riskiest part of the journey on 280 to the airport. unloading at sfo? free loading on the a 747 cargo jet. liftoff for a ten hour flight to santiago. and landing at 4:10 a.m. at the airport in chile. the camera container loaded on to its own transport vehicle. and then nine trucks drove in a slow

convoy to the guarded gate at the base of the observatory. >> it's at that point we turned off of the main highway and it is a 35-kilometer dirt road up to the summit facility. that -- we would go very, very slow. >> reporter: the trip up took five hours. and after the camera was pulled out, and when it gets set up, it will take the most detailed time lapse of the universe that we have ever seen. >> in the first year, we're going to collect more data than every other telescope combined has ever collected in the history of astronomy. which is wild. we're more than doubling the amount of knowledge available. >> reporter: but before it all got under way, it took these technicians ten years to build and margo and company five years to plan. the trip from crate to container from here to eternity. at least -- that's the next stop. >> can we brag? name drop.

>> you know, so my husband pete was one of the lead machinists on that actual project. so what you are looking at are things he actually built at slack which is where he works and he shopped at a lot of stuff for the last few years. he said one of his colleagues is actually there in chile right now. yeah. working on this. so yeah, it's pretty cool and i'm so proud of him to see it actually come to life. kind of angry too reed. why didn't i get the tip on this story. >> i know. the thing is, but that just shows you how connected we all are. we go about our lives they're developing a space -- thing. >> i know, well, i mean and the research we're going to be able to see so much more than we've ever been able to. really fascinating and obviously very proud of all the work they do at slack. more than just the two and a half mile laser beam under the freeway. so much more. so really nice job. >> still figuring out how to make an event in my outlook calendar. [ laughter ] >> i -- i can't. like -- he's good at math but thank god for my children. all right. i'm good at traffic and i'm going to help you out here. this is something

i have certainly have in my back pocket as far as my expertise goes. because you know, i like to help people navigate all of this. no one wants to be stuck in traffic unfortunately and that's what's happening in san jose over turned semi hauling strawberries and 40,000 pounds of strawberries to be exact. now they're just sitting there on the truck in the middle of the freeway north 101 connecting to 880 completely shoot down. northbound 880 that connector also shut down. not affecting the main lines of the freeway. that's important. no backup because of the crash until you are trying to maybe navigate to the 880 connector: look at the maps right now they've got the heavy tow truck on scene and hopefully they are going to threat that cleared out of the lanes and you know traffic on 101 is a little slow. but again you have got options and you have got alternate routes and you can use 87 and you can also use 280. just avoid some of those brake lights there. or maybe you are trying to connect over on to 880 northbound. use 680 in the meantime that will get you there it's a parallel option. travel times in some of the major freeways starting to

get a little bit busier especially through the altamont pass and west 80 and highway 4. so think about that as you get out the door and checking in on the bay bridge right now. metering lights are on as you work over into san francisco. golden gate bridge, looks pretty nice right now. we're not seeing too many brake lights and it looks really pretty from this perspective. as far as the weather goes. good-looking bay area. hey, taking another live look outside from another vantage point this morning. and check that out. that beautiful golden glow. warming up the bay area and it looks like that low level of fog that we saw this week has cleared out and just beautiful from that vantage point. let's talk to jessica burch about the weather we're halfway through the workweek. and now headline is warm-up. >> it is the big headline. it's all -- feels like summer already right? now the memorial day weekend is in the past but we're still not officially into summer just yet. that's june 20th right around the corner. until then, though, yes, we have a big warm-up into this week's forecast. i want to start off with our pollen count though. if you are sensitive to allergies, we're still not out of the clear just

yet. we're in the medium to high category as we head into our thursday forecast. the driest conditions felt through the bay area tomorrow. relative humidity helps that out this weekend and then next week, we're in our six to ten day models above normal conditions widespread through the state of california. how does that shape up for us? let's take san jose for example. today we're in the 80s and tomorrow we warm up into the mid 80s and then we're right back down to the 70s for the weekend. this is kind of like our breath of fresh air before we gear up for next week's little heat wave that moves in and that is going to bring in more heat for us. at that point we'll see 90s down into the santa clara valley once again. and it's going to be a warm one for us especially off in the east bay. we're not at the 90s just yet. but santa rosa today is sitting at 87 degrees and it definitely feels like 90s heading into this afternoon. notice how it's a similar trend near concord and antioch. upper 80s there. 70s into san francisco and 60s along the coast. and this is the time of year as we get closer to summer where you are going to start wanting to head to the coast more and more. for

now as we head all the way off in the east bay and down into livermore still upper 80s and turns into cool, lower 80s down into the santa clara valley. but averaging out our inland areas, we're going to see plenty of sunshine this week. and then wayne continues to build. by tomorrow we're still sitting in the upper 80s throughout most of the inland areas and low 80s heading into this weekend and then partly cloudy skies start building in as early as sunday and monday. now it's a little bit cooler and cloudier along the coast and the bay. just a bit sooner. but we'll have more on that coming up in just a bit. i hope this is -- inspiration and motivation for young artists. >> up next, neighbor helping neighbor in san jose. in the hopes of painting a bright

looking live in citizen this morning. and celebrating neighbors working for a bay area bounce-back. the work to make your downtown area more vibrant is real and this is what it looks like when hundreds of you come together to volunteer. this time painting the pavement near san pedro square. this is a beautiful enamor hall on the ground that will stretch along san pedro street which is closed to cars. and on that note, len ramirez shows you the artist behind the project came up with this creative way to get neighbors more involved. ♪

♪ >> reporter: it's one of the largest mural projects ever to take place in san jose. and it's happening in the street. a giant community canvas all under the watchful eye of lead artist jimmy paints. >> all the painting has been done by volunteers and i think one of the things that's most important about this is that the community has ownership of what we're doing here. you know, it's not just me. this is for the city. this is for the people. we got the teal, orange, black and white. >> reporter: jimmy grew up in east san jose and says his art was influenced by the community around him. >> because people, you know, going and coming from sharks' games and this is going to be kind of like an entryway for that. so -- that's why i chose these colors for this section. >> reporter: he was selected by the nonprofit local color and the san jose downtown association which are sponsoring the block-long mural. >> the title of this is "threads woven" and based on a serape blanket pattern. but what i wanted to do was kind of take the idea of a serape with

the lines and colors involved and kind of -- have that morph and evolve with lines and shapes intersecting, overlapping that represent the diverse cultures and community within san jose. >> reporter: san jose mayor matt mahan and several city council members gave volunteers a helping hand with paint brushes and rollers. the project has an economic, not just artistic purpose, with a goal of helping to breathe life back into one of the most important tax generating districts in the city. earlier this year, the street was permanently closed to car traffic to make it an inviting pedestrian friendly location. >> creating a space that's safe and clean and that's vibrant that has public art is one way that the city can help facilitate that rebound, support our small businesses, and diverse entrepreneurs. and really ensure that our best days are ahead of us. >> reporter: many of the volunteers are people who come to san pedro street to eat, drink and shop. mo hamilton works for a local tech company and took the time to lay down one piece of this kaleidoscope

of color. >> i'm here every weekend. so i said, why not be part of it? so -- i -- am paying my tribute to the community. >> reporter: jimmy paints is currently working towards his art degree with the goal of one day teaching. >> i hope this is inspiration and motivation for young artists to continue pursuing their creative path and that there will be opportunities for them to share their art. >> reporter: and with this project, he already has one big lesson already under his belt. time is 6:25. like it or not, artificial intelligence roaring to reality. all over the country and coming up, our kenny choi examines whether a new committee on safety can protect our gig workers. and then coming up next, we will take you live to new york where jurors begin deliberations in former president donald trump's hush money trial. you know, cbs poll showing voters split right down the middle on whether he's

(light gentle music) right now on cbs news bay area at 6:29. deliberations expected to begin today in the hush money case against former

president donald trump. naomi ruchim is live outside that new york courtroom and we understand the closing arguments were an all-out marathon. now what happens? >> reporter: well, reed, good morning. yes, after a very long day yesterday, the judge decided to push back the beginning of court a tiny bit today. so instead of the normal 9:00, the jury will reconvene at 10:00 this morning. which here in new york is just about 30 minutes away. so the energy starting to pick up here as we know more security is gathering. the former president will be here soon along with the jurors. and ultimately today the judge the beginning. the start of the day, he will give off the jury instructions to the jury and what they need to decide in the all important case. that's expected to last about an hour and from there the fate of the former president will be in the jury's hands. today, judge juan merchan gives instructions to the jury. and then they'll begin deliberations in former president donald trump's

manhattan criminal trial. >> we'll see how it goes. >> reporter: trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to reimburse ex-fixer and key prosecution witness michael cohen, who paid adult film star stormy daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged sexual encounter in the lead up to the 2016 election. all of which trump denies. in his three hour closing arguments, defense lawyer todd blanche attacked cohen, calling him the g.l.o.a.t., the greatest liar of all time. >> the jurors, by closing arguments, really have a pretty good idea how they feel about the case. they are looking strictly at what's the evidence? what do i need in order to do my job? >> reporter: prosecutor joshua steinglass argued that the case is about trump, not cohen. in his five hour closing, steinglass pointed to the evidence his side presented, including other witnesses and documents. >> very concerned.

>> reporter: outside the courthouse, actor robert deniro railed against trump, while representing the biden/harris campaign. >> this is the time to stop him by voting him out once and for all. >> apparently he needs attention because it's been a while since he had a good movie. >> reporter: trump's children made a show of support inside the courtroom and came to his defense. and if the jury does come back with a guilty verdict, the former president could face thousands of dollars in fines along with possible prison time. but the sentencing will ultimately be left up to judge juan merchan who has a wide range of options. it could includes things like house arrest or probation or those fines or prison time. we are told that the nypd is discussing options with secret service because the former president is granted secret service protections for the remainder of his life. however,

we also know that the judge has implied he is reluctant to issue jail time to the former president especially this close to the election. reed? >> so fascinating and naomi ruchim, thank you so much. let's get a look at the roadways right now. new information on this crash we've been monitoring throughout the morning. this is a live look at an overturned semi hauling 40,000 pounds of strawberries in san jose north 101 connector to # 80 is shut down. north 880 that connector also completely closed. and i'm just learning with those tow crews out there. they have other trucks arriving shortly. they were unloading the strawberries in the bins and putting them into separate vehicles and trucks to get it out of the way. so they can actually get that big rig upright and then of course towed off the freeway. in the meantime, this is going to take a lot of time and then after that, they're going to have a lot of clean-up as well on the roadways with all the sand barrels that were damaged through there. so it's going to take a minute and give yourself some extra time we're starting to see that backup really starting to build now on 101 backed up all the way to

280 and 680 at this point. so if your route takes you through san jose not lot of cars out there but in the 7:00 hour, it's really going to start getting crowded especially on 101. so plan for that. let's look live outside right now this morning. the sun coming up 6 #:33 in the morning. and as we see sutro there off in the distance, we hope everyone waking up and all of the houses there at the feet of sutro has a great day. you know what? it's time to talk to jess about the weather. kids are finishing up the school year right now. and parents are saying hey, you can ditch the jacket for the last couple of weeks. >> absolutely. summer is here or at least it feels like it. right? official summer isn't until june 20th but who cares? it feels like it today with the sunshine already over the golden gate bridge. the palace after fine arts and we're seeing that sunshine widespread throughout the bay area not just in san francisco. it's a clear and it's a cool morning for us and we have a big warm-up right around the corner today we're going to hit close to the 90s off in the some of the inland areas. 70s today in san francisco and we're on the

warm side until friday's forecast into the weekend we go. we'll start to kind of average out but here's the reason why we're warming up. high pressure sitting directly offshore and it's kind of acting like a heat dome building over our california coastline. as we head into the next couple of days. this is a treat for us. really beautiful weir right around the corner and as we take a look at the daytime highs today, it reflects that. 80s into novato and 80s all the way up into santa rosa close to the 90s there. we're sitting in the 70s near san francisco. and just across the bay bridge, we're warming all the way up into 77 this afternoon. now it's still breezy along the coast like it has been the past couple of days especially in the afternoon hours. heading just along the coastline down into half-moon bay it's still cool and mild for us this afternoon. 61 for our daytime highs in half-moon bay. we warm right back up into the 80s down into the santa clara valley. more on what you can expect coming up in just a bit. all right, what a story this. after 16 years on the run, massachusetts fugitive known as the bad breath rapist caught and cuffed right here in

the bay area. so let's go back in time. in 2007, tuen kit lee just disappeared after a jury convicted him of rape and kidnapping that happened in boston. his victim was a waitress at the restaurant owned by his family. that victim identified lee she says because of bad breath. known only to him. well, fast forward to this year. police got a tip that lee was hiding near danville in the east bay. yesterday they got him and the bad breath rapist is now awaiting extradition back to beantown. you know lauren toms talked to a member of the task force and you can watch that on the website. kpix.com. meantime, uc graduate student originners walked off the job. they say it's over the university's response to pro palestinian protests. they are union representatived and they say uc leaders allowed

violent attacks on demonstrators. a protest at ucla took turn after a group of counterprotesters attacked campers with fireworks and sticks. student workers at uc santa cruz started the strike on campus last week. uc administrators attempted to have the protests declared illegal but the california labor board rejected that effort. pro palestinian protesters on san jose state's campus took down their encampment earlier this week. after about week. but now there's new fallout for a campus professor. dr. sang he -- is a justice studies professor just wanted to get that right and advisor to student activists on campus. she has been put on administrative leave for her role in the demonstrations in an email the doctor is accused repeated violations of university policies and she says it's not true. >> they said that i marched the students through the student rec center which never

happened. that i ordered the students to camp and they refused the follow my orders which again didn't happen. i do feel like what's happening to me right now is threat against freedom of speech and against our constitution and against academic freedom. >> we reached out to san jose state university for comment, but spokesperson said the university does not comment on personnel matters. this job is actually -- barely minimum wage after you factor in expenses. >> that's a question asked of a gig worker concerned about the impacts on artificial intelligence on his waif of earning living in the bay area. plus this. if neoteny, then who? if not me that helps change the behavior and what people think, then who? >> meet a local woman working to bring major league sports to the bay area while also creating paths forward for women. and people

welcome back. time now for the money watch report this morning. conoco phillips just made a big deal to acquire marathon oil for a total of $17.1 billion. when including $5.4 billion in debt, that deal is actually valued at $22.5 billion. the deal is expected to close later this year. but it's still needing the

approval from marathon's stockholders. in 2023, energy companies spent over $230 billion either merging with or buying competitors. so you are feeling little bit better about the economy for the first time in four months. consumer confidence hit 102 in may. up from 97.5 in april. it's a third straight month of increases. but the survey from a nonprofit business research group showed that there are continued worried about inflation. this month, more of you said you believe a recession is somewhat or very likely in the next year. well, it's time now this get a look at what's coming up later on cbs mornings and joining us right now from new york is michelle miller. i know you are going to talk about summertime and summer safety but the blue on your dress already giving me summer vibes. i love it. >> oh. thank you my dear. did i call you, g igi? >> my family does. yes. family and close friends. yes. you can call me that.

>> well. you know, it just called out to me. gianna, so good morning top of the morning to you. and welcome to "cbs mornings." as we tease what's coming up. those hot summer days are already here and chances are, you have plans as we said to hit the beach or you said or the pool. but will you be fully protected from the sun? see how a 100-year-old u.s. law maybe keeping you and the rest of us from getting the sunscreens the best possible protection. plus, first on "cbs mornings," we'll hear from three men who were suing american airlines. they tell us why they say the airline pulled them off of a flight because of the color of their skin. and the sisters of the late nicole brown simpson join us to talk about their new documentary that tells us about her life and her relationship with o.j. simpson and a lot more. we'll see you at 7:00. >> that is going to be interesting. michelle, thank you so much we'll see you soon. michelle downright likable. we like when she calls you that. all right. openai

announced a new model to replace its current gpt 4 system. if you like me wondering what that is. well, techies explain it's the powerful popular chatgpt chat bot. the san francisco based company also announced new safety and security committee to explore the risks posed by ai technology. so as we take a live look at the palace of fine arts in san francisco this morning, that's going to be a place holder in your mind where governor gavin newsom will join tech and education and other labor leaders right there speaking about generative ai. at a summit later today. generative ai for those of you who really aren't familiar is a type of artificial intelligence that is able to generate text or other media just from a simple prompt. the summit begins today and runs through friday. and you know, many of the concerns that the general public has about ai will be discussed at that very summit. kenny choi now with how california lawmakers want to regulate how state agencies use ai and drive those self-driving cars.

>> reporter: jean-paul mugrditchian is working as a ride hailing driver to make ends meet. >> this job is actually barely minimum wage after you factor in expenses. >> reporter: he's a software engineer who has worked for start-ups. >> right now i don't have a job, that's the only reason i'm driving, i'm between jobs. >> reporter: the flexibility of driving for lyft and uber allows him to pursue laying the foundation for his next endeavor. he's well aware of how ai advancements including the proliferation of driverless cars is impacting gig workers. >> we've seen with all the past industrial revolutions that yes, there were tons of jobs that were eliminated but ultimately, we as civil have grown. there's now jobs that are created. >> reporter: lawmakers are trying to keep pace. the ai accountability act bill, sb 896, introduced by state senator bill dodd guides the decision making of state agencies related to automated technologies. one provision in the bill would require state agencies to notify users when they're interacting with ai.

>> so this legislature is famous for passing bills on businesses and everybody else, but yet is not a leader in the area and does not enact those same initiatives on itself. >> reporter: ahmed banafa is a professor of engineering at san jose state. he believes legislation like this is a necessary starting point for the government and ai companies and consumers with so much uncertainty in the vastly changing ai world. >> having all the three parties together will help make sure that the -- you know, the ai is responsible. and safe. >> i think that ai will enable more people to raise in their order of functioning and all of these repetitive, dangerous, exhausting, body stressful tasks will, over time, eventually go away and be replaced by machines. >> reporter: mugrditchian is more than comfortable with the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, believing in its potential rather than its downside.

>> fascinating conversation and the ai accountability act bill also encourages the state to invest in ai education and build ai competency in the state's work force. all right, let's take a look at the roadways right now. we have had our eye on this traffic alert in san jose this morning. you can see we've got a live look here of tow trucks on scene right behind it there is a big rig that toppled over. it's been out there for several hours and north 101 as you connect over to 880 it's going to take some time to clear, you can see there a second big rig is on scene now because they are off loading some 40,000 pounds of strawberries and put it on that truck there and move it out of the way and then they'll be able to upright the big rig and get it out of lanes. of course you have got caltrans and you have got a tractor-trailer there on scene to sort of push debris out of lanes also. a lot of sand in the roadway from damage sand barrels off at on the side of the roadway. again you are going to need some extra time as you travel through there. once things really get busy in san jose in about 10, 15 minutes from we

start seeing more cars out there, things might slow down. now jump to the maps because this is not affecting the main lines of 101 as far as the closure goes. however it's starting to back up lot of spectator flowing again northbound 101 connecting on 880 northbound and also through there completely shut down because of that crash. that backup now beyond that 280 and 680 connector. stick with 87 and may believe 280 downtown san jose is probably the best bet for now. let's go live outside right now. it is 6:47. coming up on the 7:00 hour. and we look at the east bay looks clear out there and clear can sometimes mean hot and i'm going to ask the expert. jess? is joining us now for your weather. >> i feel like it's okay to say hot now that we're getting closer to 90s in the forecast. off in the east bay. i know you guys are used to it if you live in the east bay but still, it is right around the corner. the summer-like weather pattern and it's going the stick for us too as we head in the next couple of days. let's start off with what the climate prediction center is showing.

right now around average when it comes to whether or not he would see drier -- wetter than normal conditions. as we head into the next six to ten days, our rainfall outlook is pretty much looking dry though. no big changes in the forecast there. but what i want to start off by saying is high pressure is starting to move its way inland and this is really going to warm us up as we extend into in next couple of days and you are going to feel it. starting today and i mean yesterday we were still in the 60s in san francisco. today we hit the 70s and we're seeing upper 80s close to the 90s in our inland areas return into the forecast not only today, but heading into the next six to ten days too. this is also issued by the climate prediction center. above normal conditions for us and we'll catch a little break. this is san jose for example. and a little bit of a break from the heat this weekend and then more with 90s right around the corner. but let's drop and that and they had to the map. a beautiful clear morning for us a little bit breezy right now along the shoreline and close to san francisco. all the way up into bodega bay. gustier conditions are expected heading into this afternoon. that onshore flow actually kind of gives us that nice coastal breeze keeping us

still cool in the 60s today. just near half-moon bay. now as we head more inland, we don't get that effect nearly as much. all of the microclimates do something different during the spring into summer-like months and here we go all the way over into the east bay we're expecting upper 80s today from livermore up into antioch and 80s down into the santa clara valley. and speaking of 80s, we have more of that into the forecast tomorrow. another warm day with sunny skies tomorrow and lasting into friday. it starts to average out into the low 80s like we just saw for san jose. with partly cloudy skies though heading into early next week. no rain in the clouds by any means and still going to be dry for us and we notice the same trend with cloudier conditions starting friday heading for our friends along the bay. all right, thank you. this month we highlight aapi leaders who are making an impact around the bay area including those who are trailblazers in their industries and for their communities. you know, we first introduced you to the ceo of the bay area host committee earlier this year on the morning edition. and it's a busy time for that organization bringing three major sporting events to the bay area in the next two years. we're talking

about the best and basketball players in the world, they'll be coming to chase center for the next all-star game next year. and 2026, a big year at levi's stadium. the super bowl will be played there. and then the stadium will also host several fifa world cup matches. that's to the credit of somebody named zail een janmohamedshawn chitnis reports. >> reporter: what looks like a typical afternoon on a bay area play field with a soccer mom proudly watching her son at practice is only scratching the surface of a day in the life of zaileen janmohamed. >> there are actually days that i wake up where i actually think i have a plan and that plan goes way -- way off and i'm doing something completely different. >> reporter: that's because when she's not busy parenting two young sons, including coaching them on their soccer skills, she's preparing for the world cup. and the super bowl. and an all-star game. zaileen never knows what a new week

will bring as the president and ceo of the bay area host committee. >> it's hard to juggle all of the jobs. the mom one is definitely the most important and i have to remember that. every single day. that there's a priority for me and this one is the priority. >> reporter: born and raised in canada, her family is originally from india and lived in east africa before moving west. they were not prepared to see their daughter pick up ice hockey as a young child. >> it was not normal for my parents. they didn't expect that i would grow up and even at the ages of 5 and 6 want to play sports, but for some reason, i did. and so -- that was what i enjoyed and where i had a lot of passion. >> reporter: from that passion began the pursuit of a career in sports. at first, she thought being a pe teacher would be the best way to play all day, but she kept dreaming. and found a new goal in life. go pro as an ice hockey player. >> even if my parents were okay with it, which they were

eventually, it was what others were going to say around them. that made them a little bit apprehensive. >> reporter: zaileen kept laying hockey but eventually settled on the business side of sports working for professional leagues and marketing companies and an olympic organizing committee. all preparing her for the position she has today. >> i have a phrase that i say to myself a lot which is like you have to be really good to be lucky, but you also have to be lucky to be good. >> reporter: zaileen feels a responsibility to pay it forward, to help other young women looking for a foothold in the industry. a reminder of how she got started. >> i have to do it because somebody did it for me. and my hope is that instead of one email a week, i get four. or five. >> reporter: so while it may have gotten easier, she's still working just as hard to get more women on her team. becoming leaders in sports. >> if not me, then who? if not me that helps change the behavior and what people think, then who? >> well, for for stories highlighting the bay area's proud aapi communities head to kpix.com and by the way the

good morning, let's start off with live look at conditions in san jose right now. we've been monitoring the traffic alert through the morning. this is san jose 101 northbound connector to 880 and northbound 880 connector also closed through here. we got a big rig right behind that tow truck there. stuck on its side. and it's got 40,000 pounds of strawberries a lot of produce

on that truck. so they are taking it off of that one and putting it on to another truck to get it out of the area. and also look you can see that as they pan over all those strawberries sitting on the side of the roadway. so sadly what a waste there. but hopefully they'll get this upright soon. and you can get that access to 101. in the meantime, it's going to take a lot of time to do this but tow trucks on scene and there's a lot of debris in the roadway too. as far as the isn't barrel go that were damaged in the crash. stick with 280 in the meantime. well, a climber just set the world record for the fastest ascent up mount everest by a woman. tune joe llama took over 24 hours to trek from base camp to the summit. wow. she didn't even stop to sleep. she said the first record six years ago scaling the mountain in just over 39 hours and she says mountains are her playground and loves it will always treat everyone equally. >> beautiful smile there. >> and she's -- this is -- i mean, obviously done it more
