In today's episode of "10 Minutes with Sami," we explore three fascinating news stories covering the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, the controversy surrounding an AI-generated movie, and the challenges posed by smartphones in classrooms. We start by analyzing the launch of Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the most advanced AI model to date, setting new industry benchmarks in reasoning, knowledge, and programming mastery. Next, we discuss the controversy over "The Last Screenwriter," a film with a completely AI-generated script, whose global premiere was canceled after intense public backlash.

Finally, we examine California Governor Gavin Newsom's plans to restrict the use of smartphones in schools, in response to the U.S. Surgeon General's warning about the impact of social media on young people's mental health. Join us on this exciting journey through the latest developments in technology, cinema, and education, and discover how these events are shaping our present and future.
