First, a new study from the University of Houston examines people\u2019s attitudes toward AI and data centers. Then, a local law professor explains why he thinks students can beomce better lawyers by using AI tools, something the legal profession may be embracing more broadly than other industries.<\/p>\n Then, a Houston businessman was recently acquitted and released by a federal judge in a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act<\/a> case. Jury convictions in such cases are hardly ever overturned. We find out why it was in this case.<\/p>\n And turtles, geckos, and snakes were among the creatures on display recently in Pasadena at Repticon<\/a>.
