Gujarat UCC, AI as a confidant, and Trump’s Hormuz threat

First, we talk to The Indian Express’ Legal Affairs Editor Apurva Vishwanath about the Gujarat Assembly passing the Gujarat Uniform Civil Code Bill. She explains the bill, what it entails and how similar it is to the Uttarakhand Uniform Civil Code.

Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Bijin Jose about artificial intelligence and how humans are increasingly becoming dependent on it. He shares how people now prefer talking to AI chatbots, share their thoughts and doubts instead of talking to their friends and family and how is that impacting their communication and social skills.

Lastly, we give you an update on the war situation in West Asia. (23:15)
