Gavin Newsom this month signed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007520/how-artificial-intelligence-is-changing-the-reports-police-write\">first-of-its-kind California law\u003c/a> requiring police to disclose how they use generative artificial intelligence, a move aimed at boosting transparency and public trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is among the first states to address the issue. KQED \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007520/how-artificial-intelligence-is-changing-the-reports-police-write\">first reported\u003c/a> last October on local departments adopting AI tools. The reporting was cited in the legislative analysis of the bill that ultimately became the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Bill 524, signed into law Oct. 10, requires police officers to disclose when they use AI to write police reports. The tools include Draft One, an AI assistant that transcribes and summarizes body-camera footage to produce a draft report, which officers can then revise and edit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specifically, the law now requires a written disclosure to appear at the bottom of each page of a police report for which Draft One or other similar tools were used.

That was his thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mami Licha said Papi Tomás always had bigger dreams to move to the United States. He never attended school as a child, and he didn’t want that for his kids. So in 1985, he took his wife and kids through the desert to cross the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had the idea that his children had to grow up in the United States and that they were going to be the best there,” Mami Licha told me. “He was always proud of their accomplishments. When our two oldest kids graduated from university, he cried so hard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mami Licha says sometimes she felt like her kids loved their dad more than her, because she had to be the strict one. But my mom remembers her dad being even more strict than her mom, especially after he came home from a long day of work in the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d see the truck and we would run home, make sure that house was clean and everything was nice and tidy because Papi Tomás was coming,” my mom recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He picked garlic, olives and oranges for 40 years. He enjoyed it. It was honest work, but he wanted his kids to strive for more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would tell all of us, ‘You better pay attention in school or this will be your future,'” my mom said. “And I took it literally. I wanted to get straight A’s because I did not like working in the fields.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Papi Tomás’s kids remember him as a tough-love kind of dad. But that changed when he became a grandfather. I was born when my mom was 20 years old. She was a single mother. Many people, including my grandpa, told her she was making the wrong decision by keeping me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11904003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11904003 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image2PT-800x1057.jpg\" alt=\"An grandfather standing outside with his arm around his granddaughter.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1057\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image2PT-800x1057.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image2PT-1020x1348.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image2PT-160x211.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image2PT-1162x1536.jpg 1162w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image2PT.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tomás Reyes Soto and his granddaughter Madi Bolaños on her 23rd birthday. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Madi Bolaños)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>My mom says their relationship was contentious for the first year of my life. But she was determined to prove him wrong and everyone else who doubted her. She was going to be a successful single mom because her dad taught her to be hardworking and determined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She got a job as a teller at a bank. Now she works as a lending consultant. And she owns a new home near the same fields where her dad took her to pick olives as a teenager. He would always say, “A chambear porque nacimos bonitos pero pobres!” (Translation: “Work hard because we were born good-looking but poor!”) She took that literally, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was his fifth grandchild. Altogether, there were 15 of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More stories from our 'Lost to COVID' series\" tag=\"lost-to-covid\"]“He’d start counting them,” Mami Licha remembered. “Every few years he’d say, ‘How many are there now?’ And he’d name them, but not by their actual names, by the nicknames he’d give them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called one of his grandson’s “rábanito,” Spanish for radish, because he blushed easily. Another one was “nadador” (swimmer), because he was trying to swim in the tub at only 6 months old. I was his “Monicita Jr.” or his “Madi Yupi.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a kid, it was a great morning if he’d call and say, in Spanish, “Madi Yupi, do you want me to pick you up from school today?” I’d run out of my classroom and see him waiting for me in his pickup truck wearing his jeans, a button-up shirt, a hat and his signature mustache. He’d dye his mustache every few months when it started to turn gray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that time, he worked as a supervisor in the fields. After picking me up, he’d usually have to go back to work or run a few work-related errands. I remember on one of those days, we stopped at the gas station near his house and from inside his truck he called out to a woman on the street. He told her, “Be careful, immigration agents are driving around the neighborhood.” He was always looking out for his undocumented community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I knew I could always count on my Papi Tomás. He taught me what unconditional love is. He was a second father to all of his grandchildren. He was even a father figure to his nephew and niece Grecia and Angel Mundaca, who didn’t have a present father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11903990\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image7PT-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11903990 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image7PT-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A man sits with his young granddaughter on his lap in a kitchen.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1831\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image7PT-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image7PT-800x572.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image7PT-1020x729.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image7PT-160x114.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image7PT-1536x1099.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image7PT-2048x1465.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image7PT-1920x1373.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tomás Reyes Soto and his granddaughter Madi Bolaños in Fresno in 2003. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Madi Bolaños)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the last few years before his death, he spent the most time with his younger grandchildren Mario Olguin, 11, and Melanie Olguin, 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, if my mom or dad wasn’t there when I needed them, who would be there?

You look so skinny. Let’s go out to eat.’ All the time.”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Mario Olguin, one of Soto's 15 grandchildren\"]‘I mean, if my mom or dad wasn’t there when I needed them, who would be there? My grandpa. He would always be there when I needed him.’[/pullquote]His grandchildren were the joy of the second half of his life. But that time was also far from easy for him. He had high cholesterol, but he didn’t take it seriously until he had a heart attack at age 57. He underwent major heart surgeries shortly after. Then, at age 68, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In the final years of his life, he’d talk about his death like it was just around the corner. He’d tell us to make sure we took care of our grandma, our Mami Licha, after he died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the start of the pandemic, Papi Tomás took COVID-19 very seriously. He only left his house to go work in the fields. Then in late November 2020, Mami Licha contracted the virus while working as a housekeeper at a hospital. Papi Tomás took care of her. Then he contracted the virus, and so did my mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My body was in a lot of pain and all I can think of is that I hope my dad is not in the same pain that I am going through,” my mom remembered. “And the next day when we learned that he had passed away, it was painful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had been sick for a few days. My grandma tried convincing him to go to the hospital, but he told her he didn’t want to die alone. She tried to convince him that since she worked at the hospital, she would check in on him as often as she could. He still refused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11903992\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11903992 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image3PT-800x453.jpg\" alt=\"An older man with a mustache with his head next to his granddaughter.\" width=\"800\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image3PT-800x453.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image3PT-1020x578.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image3PT-160x91.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image3PT-1536x871.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image3PT-1920x1088.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/image3PT.jpg 2036w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tomás Reyes Soto (with his signature dyed mustache) and his granddaughter Melanie Olguin. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Madi Bolaños)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>My Mami Licha found him at home, lifeless, after returning from her night shift at the hospital. That morning, I remember waking up to a scream from across the house. My cousins had gotten the news. My mom, who had been bedridden for days, suddenly had the energy to get dressed. We all raced to the car, tears streaming down our faces as we made the 25-minute drive to my grandparents’ house. All his children and most of us grandchildren arrived shortly after hearing the news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were parked right there outside the driveway,” Melanie remembered. “I remember my mom screaming really loud, ‘Oh, no, no, no, you’re lying!’ in Spanish. She was like, ‘You’re lying! He’s fine!’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tomás Reyes Soto died in his sleep, lying on his side with his hands clasped together in front of him. For my mom and me the grief is still very real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s still painful,” she told me. “You never want to go through that pain that your parents are gone, especially someone that you care for so much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year before my grandpa died, I graduated college and got an internship in Washington, D.C. The day before I left, I went to visit him. I told him how grateful I was for his sacrifices, for the values he instilled in my mom and that she passed on to me. The values that allowed me to fly across the country to pursue my dream of becoming a reporter. We hugged and shared a few tears together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that day, my mom told me Papi Tomás called her to tell her she did a good job raising me. I felt and still feel indebted to him and my mom for the sacrifices they made for me. I’m just happy I was able to tell him that before he passed away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSckOJOhLOFX1NkhVutxIrCJeo1LxJejpCRt4cyNWdgzeQRk1A/viewform?embedded=true\u003c/p>\n\n",

Another one was “nadador” (swimmer), because he was trying to swim in the tub at only 6 months old. I was his “Monicita Jr.” or his “Madi Yupi.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a kid, it was a great morning if he’d call and say, in Spanish, “Madi Yupi, do you want me to pick you up from school today?” I’d run out of my classroom and see him waiting for me in his pickup truck wearing his jeans, a button-up shirt, a hat and his signature mustache. He’d dye his mustache every few months when it started to turn gray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that time, he worked as a supervisor in the fields. After picking me up, he’d usually have to go back to work or run a few work-related errands. I remember on one of those days, we stopped at the gas station near his house and from inside his truck he called out to a woman on the street. He told her, “Be careful, immigration agents are driving around the neighborhood.” He was always looking out for his undocumented community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I knew I could always count on my Papi Tomás. He taught me what unconditional love is. He was a second father to all of his grandchildren.

Then, at age 68, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In the final years of his life, he’d talk about his death like it was just around the corner.

That morning, I remember waking up to a scream from across the house. My cousins had gotten the news. My mom, who had been bedridden for days, suddenly had the energy to get dressed. We all raced to the car, tears streaming down our faces as we made the 25-minute drive to my grandparents’ house.

The day before I left, I went to visit him. I told him how grateful I was for his sacrifices, for the values he instilled in my mom and that she passed on to me. The values that allowed me to fly across the country to pursue my dream of becoming a reporter. We hugged and shared a few tears together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that day, my mom told me Papi Tomás called her to tell her she did a good job raising me.

Their only chance to escape the rapidly spreading flames was to gather together in a nearby lake. Miraculously, this story has a happy ending — all 242 people and 16 dogs were airlifted to safety as the forest burned around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11890478\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11890478 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/MammothPoolCreekFire3_AlexT-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"An orange-and-black-hued photo of an RV and a few cars alongside a lake completely darkened by smoky skies.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The smoke-ridden sky above Mammoth Pool in September 2020. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Alex Tettamanti)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A new podcast, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/programs/escape-mammoth-pool\">Escape From Mammoth Pool\u003c/a>, chronicles that dramatic event through the experiences of families who lived through it. Reporter Kerry Klein of Valley Public Radio spent more than a year talking to people trapped by the fire, and the rescuers who helped save them. She also dug into government documents and data to piece together what happened. Klein joins California Report Magazine host Sasha Khokha to share excerpts of the podcast, and talks about what it takes in the era of climate change to launch a successful large-scale rescue from a massive forest fire in the Sierra Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11890428\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11890428 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/CreekFireHuntington_USFS-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"Massive plumes of white smoke above an otherwise clear day, with turquoise water of a lake and green trees in the foreground.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smoke billows from the Creek Fire in September 2020. \u003ccite>(Courtesy U.S. Forest Service)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11890481\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11890481 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/MammothPoolRescue2_Rosamond-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"A helicopter hovers over the lake with two trucks on the shore and a hillside burning beyond.
