These poll results will inform our upcoming AI content and programming. Let’s dig into what you shared and what we learned!</p> <p>The two AI topics that are most interesting to respondents are “tools and applications in my work” and “benefits, risks, and ethics.” The poll also asked how often your work involves using AI, and the most popular answer was “rarely” chosen by 27% of respondents.

The Edible Book is an international event that began in Santa Monica, California in 1999, where people use food to create representations of books, either a specific title or a generic “book.’ Events are usually held at the beginning of April to honor French gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), who was born on April 1.

New research has led to an expanded understanding of neurodiversity, leading to later-in-life diagnoses and prompting growing advocacy, especially on social media platforms. These shifts in awareness and acceptance have sparked changes in schools, workplaces, and public spaces.
