The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the CPI rose 3.2% in July from year-ago levels, a slight increase from June’s 3.0%, but well below last summer’s peak of 9.1%. Americans’ collective credit-card bill rose to $1.03 trillion from $986 billion in the first quarter, according to the household debt report released Tuesday by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. While AI’s abilities continue to improve, chatbots are turning into companions? What that means for the future of human interaction.
