Fitzpatrick extends lead as Scheffler charges

Fitzpatrick extends lead as Scheffler charges

USA’s Matt Fitzpatrick looks over his line on 18 green during the third round of the RBC Heritage Tournament at Hilton Head, South Carolina. PICTURE: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images Matt Fitzpatrick extended his lead with an erratic three-under par 68 Saturday at the US PGA Tour RBC Heritage as world number one Scottie Scheffler stormed up the leaderboard into second place. Overnight leader Fitzpatrick bounced back from a shaky start, holing out from off the greens on 14 and 15 for birdie and eagle respectively, to finish three strokes clear on 17-under-par at Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. Having bogeyed the first and third holes, the 2023 RBC Heritage champion clicked into gear around the turn, becoming the only player this week to drive his ball onto the ninth green, with a 338-yarder that he converted for birdie. Fitpatrick reclaimed the solo lead with a confident 10-foot putt on the 12th. The Englishman putted in a bobbling left-to-right effort from 26 feet off the green for another birdie on 14 -the same hole on which he had bounced off a tree on the way to an improbable birdie a day earlier. And he then executed a perfect chip into the hole from 30 feet on 15 to open a three-shot lead. “It’s always satisfying when you can turn it around, particularly if you have not played that well,” said Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick is seeking his fourth PGA Tour title, adding to last month’s Valspar Championship and the 2022 US Open, as well as his 2023 RBC Heritage title. “Obviously it would have been nicer to go out with nine birdies... and be plenty clear,” he said. “But to be in the position I am tonight, obviously it’s something that you’d snatch your hand off” for. Scheffler - having begun Moving Day seven strokes off the lead -made five birdies in his first six holes to soar into contention. “You can’t ask for much of a better start than that. Came out, nice birdie on the first, good birdie on the second. Kind of stole one on four, and two good birdies there on five and six,” he said after. From a stunning front-nine 31 that shot Scheffler briefly up to tied-first, the four-time major winner’s momentum slowed slightly with a string of frustrating pars. But he birdied the 16th and final holes for a seven-under round of 64, to finish 14-under-par for the tournament with one day to play. “As you start kind of getting back into contention, I think that’s always fun. It’s never as fun being on the outside looking in,” said Scheffler. Meanwhile fellow American Brian Harman hit the day’s best round with a career-low 63 at windy Harbour Town Golf Links featuring nine birdies. The Savannah-born golfer thrived in familiar local conditions, finishing with three straight birdies after holing a bunker chip from 30 feet on 17. “Just tried to keep the pedal down. It’s going to take a low number to win,” said Harman. Norway’s Victor Hovland, who had started the day one stroke off the lead, had a disastrous start, including a bogey on the first and a double bogey on 3. He finished a disappointing day six strokes back with a round of 73.  Related Story

China seeks to rein in risks from AI ‘digital humans’

China seeks to rein in risks from AI ‘digital humans’

After her father died from cancer, Zhang Xinyu had an artificial intelligence avatar made that looks and sounds just like him, part of a growing “digital human” industry that China is moving to govern more tightly. Videos featuring AI digital humans are ubiquitous on Chinese social media, with their uncanny features and smooth, dexterous motions often used to tout products. The nation’s cyberspace regulator issued draft rules this month on how these avatars are developed and deployed — seeking to stop them harming children, threatening social stability or being created to resemble someone without their consent. Zhang, 47, approached the company Super Brain two years ago, feeling depressed and lonely following her bereavement. She can now converse online with her father’s avatar, something that made her feel “fully recharged in an instant and filled with motivation once again”, she told AFP. Some friends worried Zhang would become too immersed in the virtual world and “never be able to move on”, calling it a form of “false comfort”, she added. “But even if the comfort itself is simulated, the love behind it is real,” said Zhang, who is based in Liaoning province. State news agency Xinhua reported last year that the country’s digital human industry was worth around 4.1bn yuan ($600mn) in 2024, having grown a huge 85 percent year-on-year. Chinese governance of new digital technologies has always followed the logic of “develop first, then regulate, and perfect in the process”, said Marina Zhang, from the University of Technology Sydney. The regulations proposed by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) require clear labelling on digital human content. They also prohibit using personal information to create deepfake clones of individuals without their consent. Super Brain’s founder Zhang Zewei said he sees new laws and regulation on the sector as “inevitable”. “I view this as a positive development, as it achieves a balance between standardised regulation and industry growth,” he told AFP. The company specialises in creating AI avatars of the dead for grieving families. A video clip of an elderly woman who unknowingly chatted with a hyper-realistic avatar of her dead son was widely shared on Chinese social media this month, with a related hashtag garnering over 90mn views on Weibo. The avatar, created by Zhang’s firm, mimicked her son’s speech patterns and his movements so closely that she believed it was him on a video call. It sparked heated online discussion on the ethics of generative AI, with some people calling for more regulation to prevent bad actors like scammers from misusing powerful new tools. The woman’s family approached Super Brain after her son died in a car accident, Zhang told AFP. It was a “well-intentioned lie”, he said, adding that Super Brain always obtains consent from family members of the deceased. The CAC regulations — open for public comment until early May — mark China’s latest attempt to balance its technology ambitions with preventing unfettered development that could prove risky. Violations will be punished in accordance with the law, with potential fines of 10,000 yuan ($1,460) to 200,000 yuan ($29,300), the CAC said. Previously, the CAC has clamped down on the use of AI-generated deepfakes that impersonate public figures in e-commerce livestreams, which it said “severely damaged” the online ecosystem. One goal for China of imposing new tech regulations is to preserve its “sovereignty and political objectives”, said Manoj Harjani, a research fellow at Singapore’s S Rajaratnam School of International Studies. Under the draft rules, digital humans are prohibited from generating or disseminating content that endangers national security or incites subversion of state power. And to protect children, the CAC regulations ban services offering minors virtual intimate relationships, or that encourage them to “develop extreme emotions, or cultivate harmful habits”. “Beijing wants to move quickly on AI adoption and deployment, but within a controlled framework,” said Lizzi Lee from the Asia Society Policy Institute. There is strong support for scaling new technologies — but once “risks become visible”, Lee added, regulators step in quickly.
