Is AI Reshaping Hollywood?

AI is enabling unprecedented visual effects and cost efficiencies, as seen in the movie "Here," where AI de-aged actors like Tom Hanks in real-time.

Back in the day the magic of movies had us all glue to the screen and paying to see it on the big screens. Now AI has democratized this innovation reducing costs and speeds up production and opening new possibilities in storytelling. While AI-driven tools empower filmmakers, and social media content creators, to achieve effects previously unattainable with traditional CGI, they also raise ethical concerns about job displacement and authenticity, especially as AI can replicate actors, even deceased ones. As Hollywood navigates these advances, industry leaders and unions stress the need for "guardrails" to ensure ethical AI use, balancing creative freedom with job security.

Is Intel Too Big To Fail?

Washington is increasingly concerned about Intel's financial struggles despite its significant government support under the CHIPS Act.

Intel’s strategic importance as a US-based semiconductor manufacturer, particularly as a counterweight to China’s dominance, has prompted discussions about potential backup plans, including possible mergers with rivals like AMD. Intel’s poor performance, including layoffs and credit downgrades, has heightened fears that it may not be able to regain its position in the industry despite a promising Q4 outlook. With the high-stakes competition for technological leadership, Intel’s success is critical for maintaining a robust domestic chip supply chain and countering China’s advancements.
