Most Americans have qualms about using AI in healthcare for tasks such as diagnosis and treatment, Pew Research poll finds.

An elderly Scarborough resident, Lawrence Huang, is facing a crisis after a contractor removed his roof without completing the replacement, leaving his home exposed to the elements. The contractor, Super Dry Roofing and Masonry, took a $25,000 advance and later demanded additional payments totaling $64,000, but abandoned the project, leaving Huang's home without a roof. Police are investigating a possible fraud, as the company's contact information is no longer valid. Huang's insurance provider, TD Insurance, has denied coverage for the structural damage, citing that it does not cover 'faulty workmanship,' though it will cover the ruined contents of the home. Huang, who is described as being on the spectrum, has been living in motels since the incident, with his niece Katie Semple managing his affairs. Semple has hired an independent adjuster to negotiate with TD Insurance, resulting in partial coverage for the home's contents, but the company remains firm on not covering the roof rebuild. University of Toronto professor Luis Seco notes that insurance companies often deny structural repairs, and homeowners may need to pursue legal action or use the General Insurance Ombudservice for mediation. Toronto police report that roofing scams are common, with fraudsters using urgency and fear to extract money from vulnerable homeowners. Det. David Coffey advises potential victims to 'pause and verify' before making payments to contractors who approach them door-to-door. The case highlights the vulnerability of elderly homeowners to such scams and the challenges they face in seeking compensation from insurers.
