Summary

ChatGPT is an AI tool that’s taken educators by storm, and some are calling for a ban. Yale lecturer and journalist Joanne Lipman argues to keep it in classrooms, and she considers the various historical innovations that once concerned academics–from calculators to Google. Activist investor Nelson Peltz is aiming for a seat on Disney’s board, but the company is opposed and gearing up for a proxy fight. Disney has also named a new chairman of the board, and amid all the drama, the company has not yet explained its recent CEO swap from Bob Iger to Bob Chapek and back again. New York Times columnist and “Disney War” author James Stewart unpacks all the drama at the House of Mouse. In the Labor Department’s latest report, the consumer price index fell month over month for the first time since April of 2020. It’s a sign that inflation could be moderating, but the Federal Reserve doesn’t meet to discuss interest rate hike policy until February. Plus, Tesla’s plant in China is stalled, and Starbucks is calling corporate employees back to the office. In this episode: Joanne Lipman, @joannelipman James Stewart, @JamesStewartNYT Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Cameron Costa, @CameronCostaNY
