The Tobacco Industry Board wants better crops for next year's sales. It teaches farmers when to pick their leaves. Some farms with water systems have started picking their first crops.

AI's Dark Side - Languages on the Brink
Cultural diversity matters as much as the variety of plants and animals on Earth. We need both to keep our world healthy and rich. Languages play a big role in keeping cultures alive. Each language carries special ways of thinking and living, helping to pass down wisdom from old to young. AI language tools are making English even stronger than before. These tools mostly use English data, which puts other languages at risk. More than 3,000 languages might die out soon.
