World News of the Week (WNW) with Maya and Dad
Ten year old Maya and her dad, Jeremy, discuss major news events each week, hoping to inspire other families to discuss the big issues at their dinner tables, on their way to school or, frankly, whenever it works in their busy family lives.
We examine a major event, ask questions of each other and hope to find some answers... and raise more questions!

Why is the New York Times suing OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT? ChatGPT is a large language model which draws from countless sources... including the NYT.

If the NYT wins the enormous damages it is asking for...what does that mean for artificial intelligence? Does this open the door for any source to sue to Open AI? How does Congress get involved to manage a "fair use" dispute? It's a complicated one, this week on WNW!
