Can you make money from AI? Yes, you can! AI (Artificial Intelligence) came in and swept the world off its ankles. It went from a phenomenon to a tool that most people use to expedite their tasks in today’s world. In doing so, comes opportunity; we’re talking side hustles from the comfort of your home to earn extra funds. How? Let’s get into it. Faceless YouTube Channels Have you ever stumbled across those YouTube channels where the creator remains a mystery, never revealing their face? There’s a good reason some creators might prefer to stay behind the scenes: profitability with minimal…
It could be clothing, bedding, furniture, appliances or old cell phones. Whatever it is, it often ends up in the trash once you’re done it, flushing your money down the toilet in the process. According to Environment America Research & Policy Center, the U.S. produces more than 12% of the world’s trash (most of which ends up in landfills) — a fact that is particularly jaw-dropping when considering that only 4% of the world’s population lives here. The prevalence of throwing things in the trash isn’t only an environmental problem, it’s a financial one. We should all be focused…
India’s influencer marketing industry is expected to swell to ₹34 billion by 2026, from ₹19 billion in 2023, as businesses increasingly turn to social-media influencers to drive sales and deepen brand connect, a recent Ficci EY report said. While Instagram and YouTube are the platforms of choice, smaller platforms such as Snapchat will also increasingly be used to reach out to niche audiences. Massive digitization, a surge in Internet access and high social media penetration have all fuelled growth in consumer affinity to influencer marketing. However, with the growth of regional and micro-influencers, the stage is set for these creators…

We all probably know colleagues who have lost their jobs in the past year. In January alone, NBC News, Time magazine, Business Insider and The Los Angeles Times announced major layoffs. Many journalists who are no longer staffers are turning to freelancing, perhaps for the first time. With that in mind, I spoke with Anna Medaris, who held staff positions for nearly 15 years, most recently at Business Insider, where she was a health correspondent. She took a buyout in June 2023 during a strike that was partly over proposed layoffs. In this interview, Medaris discusses her approach to launching…
Haya Ajjan eagerly sat in front of her computer on Monday, joking she was on the edge of her seat, watching OpenAI announce its newest iteration of ChatGPT. “I thought, right away, this is going to change personalized learning,” said Ajjan, associate dean at Elon University’s Love School of Business in North Carolina. ChatGPT’s newest version, GPT-4o ( the “o” standing for “omni,” meaning “all”), has a more realistic voice and quicker verbal response time, both aiming to sound more human. The version, which should be available to free ChatGPT users in coming weeks—a change also hailed by educators—allows people…

Think about how many people were talking about recessions and bear markets all of last year; now we…
Microsoft’s plan to open a new AI hub in London is a huge endorsement for the U.K. as a world leader in AI. But I do question whether it is wholly good news for the long-term. The U.K. has shown time and again that some of the very best AI expertise in the world lies here. The pool of talent we have available in this country, the standard of research and development present in our academic institutions, and the U.K.’s (generally) stable economic conditions have, for decades, made our island nation a highly attractive place for tech’s big hitters to lay down roots. That’s why…
