HOUSTON (AP) — Obed Vargas scored the decisive goal in the shootout and Stefan Frey saved Tate in the seventh round after a 1-1 regular-season tie. Schmidt’s shot led the Seattle Sounders to a 7-6 victory on Sunday and a first-game victory. .
Neither team was able to score until Cristian Roldán scored on a man advantage in the 87th minute, his first goal in his 30th playoff appearance, for the fourth seed. The Sounders took the lead.
But in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Roldan also missed an own goal and evened the score.
Houston was forced to start one less man for the second straight game in the 66th minute. Mexico’s Hector Herrera received a yellow card for a foul on Seattle defender Jackson Regan, which was converted to a red card for unsportsmanlike conduct after he spat at the referee’s feet as he walked away.
Defender Nuju Tolo, who had no assists in the regular season, scored his second career goal in the playoffs on Roldan’s goal after being substituted two minutes earlier. Danny Levia picked up his first assist in his second career playoff game.
The Sounders defeated fifth-seeded Houston 5-4 in a shootout in the series opener in Seattle after going scoreless during the regular season. The Sounders took all 12 penalties in both wins.
Houston’s current home record in the playoffs is 12 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. Dynamo set a club record with 54 points and eight road wins this season, qualifying for the playoffs for the tenth time.
Seattle has made the playoffs in 15 of 16 seasons, winning four division titles and two MLS Cups (2016 and 2019).

**Interview with Dr. Emily Carter, AI Ethics Expert and Conference Panelist**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Dr. Carter. At the recent conference on AI and journalism, several pressing questions were raised. What do you think is the most critical question regarding AI in the news industry?
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me! I believe one of the critical questions is, “How do we ensure the ethical use of AI in journalism?” As AI systems become more integrated into newsrooms, it’s essential to establish ethical guidelines to prevent misinformation and bias.
**Interviewer:** That’s a significant concern. Can you elaborate on the potential impact of AI-generated content on public trust in journalism?
**Dr. Carter:** Certainly. The integration of AI can potentially erode public trust if not handled transparently. If readers cannot distinguish between AI-generated content and human-written articles, it could lead to skepticism about the authenticity of all news. Transparency in how news is produced is key to maintaining that trust.
**Interviewer:** In the discussion, were there any innovative solutions proposed to tackle these issues?
**Dr. Carter:** Yes, there were some great ideas. For instance, many panelists suggested developing AI that not only generates content but also includes a “source tracking” feature that can provide readers with the origins of information and the data behind AI decisions. This could help boost transparency and accountability.
**Interviewer:** It sounds like there’s a balancing act between leveraging AI’s capabilities and maintaining ethical standards. What do you think news organizations should prioritize moving forward?
**Dr. Carter:** I think organizations should prioritize training their staff on AI literacy, ensuring that journalists understand how these systems work and how to use them responsibly. Additionally, investing in collaborative efforts with ethicists and technologists can create better frameworks for AI integration.
**Interviewer:** where do you see AI in journalism heading in the next few years?
**Dr. Carter:** I believe we’ll see a more symbiotic relationship between AI and journalists. AI will handle more of the data analysis and pattern recognition, while journalists will focus on in-depth storytelling and ethical implications. This partnership can enhance the quality of journalism significantly, but it requires careful navigation of ethical challenges.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Carter, for your insights. It’s clear that while AI presents opportunities, it also requires vigilant oversight to mitigate risks.
**Dr. Carter:** Absolutely. Thank you for having me!
