ABC7's Lindsey Mastis was on the ground outside the former Venezuelan embassy this afternoon. The embassy has been cut off from electricity since Wednesday after being occupied by pro-Maduro Americans, and American activists inside and Venezuelans outside continue to face off. One man, holding an icepack to his head, says he's been injured multiple times trying to get supplies inside the building. STORY: https://bit.ly/2VX0RGO | 7News DC

PART 2: How do journalists verify if a video is real or AI-generated during a breaking news event? The Baltimore Bridge Collapse was the first time I had to question whether a video I was seeing was real or AI-generated. It was 3 am, and I did what I was trained to do when you can't get to the scene. Make calls. Journalists are trained to know who to call and when. Just writing this is giving me flashbacks to my journalism classes at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. Thanks to this train

When the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore, the video was so shocking that, for the first time in my career, I paused and asked: Could this be AI-generated? As a journalist covering artificial intelligence and tech, I knew how easily realistic fake videos could circulate. But this collapse was real. And in the middle of the night, before we had crews on the ground, I had to use my reporting experience to verify the facts and quickly confirm what really happened. I'm honored to be n

It's happening again. Scammers are pretending to be Sheriff's Deputies in order to steal money from victims. Last year I did a story with a woman who lost $3,000 because of this scam. ⚠️ Warning Signs to Watch Out For: ⚠️ - Unsolicited calls or messages claiming to be from law enforcement, particularly regarding missed jury duty. - Demands for immediate payment of fines or fees to resolve the supposed arrest warrant. - Insistence on unconventional payment methods like wire transfers or prepaid d

Can AI replace the awkwardness of approaching strangers? I tested Google’s new AI video tool, Veo 3, to see if it could really do my job as a reporter. The results were faster than I expected… and a little unsettling. | Lindsey Mastis

Have you ever had a medical emergency and there was no one around to help? Even when no one is there, AI might be able to help. I recently got to try out the technology developed by VOLT AI in Bethesda, Maryland, by laying on the ground to simulate an emergency medical situation. Check out the video! | Lindsey Mastis

I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Sec. of State Madeleine Albright. I had the honor of meeting her at least twice (it might have been three times) and doing a story about the discovery of her Jewish roots when I worked in Los Angeles for Feature Story News. (I had always hoped I'd one day get to meet her again at her official table at Martin's Tavern). She inspired me to ask more questions to my Czech side. Here's the story I did that focused on her family history. Rest in peace. |

This AI Reporter Could Replace Me?! (Google Veo 3 Test) I just tested out Google’s new AI video generator, Veo 3, and it blew me away. It created “man on the street” interviews in less than two minutes -- Google’s Veo 3 can create realistic “man on the street” interviews in minutes. As a journalist, I wanted to see if it could actually replace me. | Lindsey Mastis

I couldn't wait for Day 3 of AI Week because I wanted to introduce you to Mini Moe! He's a tiny robot that can talk and even has a video screen for a face. It was developed by David Packman and Sabrina Packman, co-founders of Packabby Robotics. They originally created it for their son, who is neurodivergent. Now they're looking for ways to make Mini Moe available to the masses. Here's the report we aired this morning that shows off some of Mini Moe's skills! | Lindsey Mastis
