Things are looking bleak for a fix in Congress for ACA premiums that doubled, on average, this month. And Republicans are making arguments against the law that haven't worked in years past.

Eight seconds on a bull has always been about instinct, not data. That's starting to change, as artificial intelligence moves into rodeo arenas and brings analytics to one of America's most tradition-bound sports. Why it matters: Rodeo has long defined itself as the last major American sport untouched by analytics. If AI takes hold in training and broadcasts, it won't just change how riders compete but redefine the cowboy's identity . State of play: The shift isn't just technological. It's cultural. - Cowboys are one of America's most enduring symbols of independence and tradition. Their embrace of AI could serve as a bridge between high-tech innovation and communities that often see it as threatening. - "We're applying real-world…

AI startups are raising billions of dollars to develop "brains" for robots that could work everywhere from oil rigs to construction sites. Why it matters: Blue-collar workers may have as much to fear from AI job disruption as do white-collar workers. The big picture: The basic idea is that these software "brains" would understand physics and other real-world conditions — helping the robots adapt to changing environments. - Some of these AI-powered robots may be humanoids, others may not — form is less important than functionality. - If a robot has the physical capability to do a task, it could have the flexible knowledge. Plumbing, electrical, welding, roofing, fixing cars, making meals — there really isn't much of a limit. Think…
