MOVING FORWARD: Microsoft's Acquisition of Blizzard, Tax on Bitcoin Mining, Regulating AI, and Media Literacy Education

This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Rachel Chiu, Eric Peterson, Benjamin Ayanian, and Neetu Arnold.

Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard could greatly benefit fans of "Call of Duty" and "World of Warcraft." Rachel Chiu says regulators in the UK who wish to block this deal are leaving gamers out in the cold.

The Biden White House has always been adversarial toward cryptocurrency. As Eric Peterson explains, the administration's proposed tax on Bitcoin mining just underscores that hostility

Congressional leaders are trying to figure out the best ways to regulate AI. Benjamin Ayanian says having OpenAI's founder counsel them on how to do it may be a mistake.

Media literacy education has been implemented in a growing number of states. Neetu Arnold shares some insights on the pros and cons of this effort.
