Within the past six months, email platforms like Google and Yahoo have changed theirappearance and summarize the email before we get to it; photos and videos have been doctored to look real and companies like Microsoft are laying off thousands as AI can write some software code by itself. We turn to an expert inAI, Partha Chatterjee, to explain these profound changes and what more to expect in this brave new world.4:50 pm The Texas Legislature has passed Senate Bill 22which will increase the incentives for the film, tv and gaming industries to be more competitive with other states and lure more production here. Texas will now dole out $300 million to qualifying projects every two years – an increase of$100 million in 2023 - or $1.5 billion over ten years. With so many South Asians involved in the entertainment business, we asked one who has made a transition to feature movies, Harsh Mahadeshwar, what this will mean to film makers.He is joined by actress Jessica Lee Wrabel. 5:20 pm Two decades ago, educators and social entrepreneurs in India realized that the key to a primary education lay in making sure that young students had a full belly so that they could concentrate on their lessons.
