This week we begin the story of Artificial Intelligence. Since the launch of Chat-GPT in late 2022, we have been more excited, and anxious, about AI than ever before. It’s become a daily obsession.

The NYPD loves to show off its diversity, but it often hides how hard and long it fought that diversity.

But how effective is reform if the poli…
