Simon Rabinovitch, U.S. editor of The Economist, will discuss those issues and more in a talk next week in Downtown Jacksonville, courtesy of the World Affairs Council of Jax. He's on the phone with a preview. Also with us is John Alozska of the World Affairs Council.
Dry January

ChatGPT
A new artificial intelligence bot seems to be on the verge of upending the tech industry.
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot system released in November by the AI research and deployment company OpenAI. You can ask the bot questions and get pretty useful answers. It can write computer programs or code, and it can even write poems and papers. But many people are worried that students will use ChatGPT to cheat or that it will put some people out of work.
To learn more, we spoke with WJCT’s own digital media director, Ray Hollister.
