What's a recession?
Q: What is depressions and receptions?
Recessions and depressions are slowdowns in economic activity. Recessions are a normal part of the economic cycle and can affect jobs, businesses and household finances; depressions last much longer and are rarer. The Federal Reserve tracks economic conditions and can adjust monetary policy to encourage spending and help counter a downturn.
How do AI companies make money?
Q: How is AI really going to change our lives in the future, and what's it going to cost us?
Potential costs include the water and energy used by data centers, effects on memory and critical thinking, and changes to jobs and wages. The scale of these effects and whether AI investments will pay off remain uncertain.
How do AI companies make money?
