End of the Line: Winston Wins Unanimous Supreme Court Victory Against NJ Transit
In a unanimous decision authored by Justice Sotomayor, the U.S. Supreme Court held that NJ Transit is not an arm of the State of New Jersey and therefore is not entitled to sovereign immunity. The ruling means that plaintiffs injured by NJ Transit outside of New Jersey—such as in Pennsylvania and New York—may pursue claims in the courts of the states where their injuries occurred. The court adopted Winston’s position that state-created corporations that are formally liable for their own judgments are not arms of the state, reversing the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s dismissal of Cedric Galette’s negligence suit while affirming the New York Court of Appeals’ decision allowing Jeffrey Colt’s case to proceed.

What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
The definition of artificial intelligence, also known as AI, is the capability of computers or robots to execute tasks that humans normally do. The meaning of AI can also include the development of computer systems that perform intellectual processes. In other words, machines perform tasks intelligently, such as reasoning and generalizing. Narrow AI is a type of artificial intelligence where the focus is placed on specific tasks. An example of this would be a virtual assistant who has targeted abilities, such as the ability to respond to questions. Strong AI is machine intelligence featuring human cognitive capabilities, such as the ability to make judgments, find solutions, or communicate. Today, it’s important to understand what artificial intelligence systems are commonly used for, including visual perception, speech recognition, and decision-making.
