SUMMARY:Code Name: Ayalon

SUMMARY:The Forward Presents: “Playing Anne Frank”
DESCRIPTION:In person and livestreamed. The Diary of Anne Frank\, which debuted on Broadway in 1955 and then later toured the country\, was one of the most influential plays of the 20th century. A life-changing experience for many of those who saw it\, the play introduced millions of Americans to the Holocaust and its victims. But what did reenacting Anne’s story mean to the people who created and acted in the play or the 1959 film? How did dramatizing her life affect their lives and careers? Who were they? Using archival material and interviews with surviving cast and crew members\, Forward executive editor Adam Langer\, whose latest work is Cyclorama\, presents a story in “Playing Anne Frank\,” a limited series podcast from the Forward\, that’s never been told: the backstory of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play and Oscar-winning film\, and how this iconic work shapes those involved in performing it — including high school students putting the show on today. The event will include live elements from the podcast and appearances by members of the 1955 Broadway production.

SUMMARY:Power and Prediction: The Disruptive Economics of Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) has impacted many industries around the world—banking and finance\, pharmaceuticals\, automotive\, medical technology\, manufacturing and retail. But it has only just begun its odyssey toward cheaper\, better and faster predictions that drive strategic business decisions. When prediction is taken to the max\, industries transform\, and with such transformation comes disruption. What is at the root of this? In their bestselling first book\, Prediction Machines\, eminent economists Ajay Agrawal\, Joshua Gans and Avi Goldfarb explained the simple yet game-changing economics of AI. Now\, in Power and Prediction\, they go deeper\, examining the most basic unit of analysis: the decision. The authors explain that the two key decision-making ingredients are prediction and judgment\, and we perform both together in our minds\, often without realizing it. The rise of AI is shifting prediction from humans to machines\, relieving people from this cognitive load while increasing the speed and accuracy of decisions.

SUMMARY:South Bronx Rising: The Rise\, Fall\, and Resurrection of an American City
DESCRIPTION:Livestreamed. Thirty-five years after this landmark of urban history – originally titled We’re Still Here in a 1986 first edition – Jill Jonnes continues to chronicle the rise\, fall\, rebirth\, and ongoing revival of the South Bronx. The once-thriving New York City borough\, ravaged in the 1970s and ’80s by disinvestment and fires\, then heroically revived and rebuilt in the 1990s by community activists\, has been Jonnes’s subject in three editions\, expanding the first South Bronx Rising (2000) in 2022. Though now globally renowned as the birthplace of hip-hop\, the South Bronx remains America’s poorest urban congressional district. In this new edition\, Jonnes describes the present generation of activists who are transforming their communities with the arts and greening\, notably the restoration of the Bronx River. For better or worse\, real estate investors have noticed\, setting off new gentrification struggles.

SUMMARY:Mao and Markets: The Communist Roots of Chinese Enterprise

What implications does it have for American business engagement with China?
