The viral demos. AI writing essays, generating photorealistic images, even creating entire videos. But something much more important is happening behind the scenes. AI is solving problems we thought were decades away, curing diseases and inventing new materials. But there’s a paradox. Because this same AI revolution that’s supposedly going to create incredible wealth for companies, might be laying the groundwork for an economic collapse that threatens the very progress it's helping to create.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
