AI Drama Factory and Global Health Woes

China's automated dramas and failing health targets show tech’s double-edged sword.

How Chinese short dramas became AI content machines, releasing 470 per day with no actors or cameras required. Costs dropped by up to 90%, but at what cost? This format is expanding overseas, reshaping the work of writers and production crews.


The World Health Organization’s latest report warns that global health targets are stalling or reversing: HIV cases are rising, malaria is surging, and vaccination rates are falling. The world is off track from meeting major UN health goals by 2030.


Meanwhile, as the trial of Elon Musk and Sam Altman heads to the jury, both face lying accusations. Their credibility has been undermined in court over OpenAI's future. Meanwhile, AI data centers strain America’s power grid, and OpenAI considers legal action against Apple over its ChatGPT integration.


The tech industry is turning to ethical communities for guidance and connection as it faces scrutiny. A pastor preached a gospel of morals at All Tech Is Human, a nonprofit devoted to ethics in tech. Technology should focus less on profits and more on the public interest.
