Insurance companies already used generative artificial intelligence for processing claims, predicting clinical needs and performing administrative functions, but now some are increasingly leaning on genAI to smooth customer relations.

This week the House debated a bill symbolically opposing energy conservation regulations for commercial refrigerators and freezers. What it did not do was address the $1.1 billion hole it blew in D.C.'s local budget a few weeks ago. From me in @51st.news: 51st.news/house-no-rus...

Firearm-related deaths among children and teenagers in the United States have risen sharply in recent years, increasing by 50% since 2019.

My third professional interview was George Foreman. We talked on the phone for two hours after I sent an interview request with my number through the question portal on the George Foreman Grill website. Within ten minutes he called me to talk. I guess he was on the switchboard that day. ❤️
