Americans have taken an increasingly dim view of sports betting in the seven years since the Supreme Court overturned a federal ban, as online wagers have skyrocketed, igniting concerns over the personal and social costs.
According to a recent poll from the Pew Research Center, 43 percent of U.S. adults say the fact that sports betting is now legal in much of the country is a bad thing for society. That’s up from 34 percent in 2022.
Harvard experts and others suggest that gambling addiction appears to be growing as a public health concern for individuals, and some see the likelihood of wider economic fallout.
Counselors have reported an growing number of patients with gambling problems. And a February study in JAMA Internal Medicine noted that internet searches for gambling-addiction help have risen 23 percent nationally from the 2018 court ruling through June 2024.
“When new forms of gambling appear, the rate of savings go down, then you see the rate of credit card defaults going up. And you see the rate of mortgage defaults going up. So these are long-term financial and societal costs with broad implications,” said Malcolm Sparrow, professor of the practice of public management at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
“Having it on your phone with push notifications and constant advertisements is able to kind of hijack your brain in a really fascinating way. Before, you’d have to drive to a casino, and I think that served as a bit of a barrier.”
Spencer Andrews
In the U.S., the floodgates for sports betting were opened in 2018 following a Supreme Court decision to overturn a federal sports gambling ban and turn over regulation to state governments. Currently, 39 U.S. states have passed legislation legalizing sports betting in some form.
The JAMA study found that total sports wagers increased from $4.9 billion during 2017 to $121.1 billion during 2023, with 94 percent of wagers during 2023 being placed online.
“It takes between five and seven years before countries become more painfully aware of all the misery that increased access wreaks on public health, public finances, and so on,” said Sparrow, much of whose work involves who studying the regulation of societal risks, including gambling.
The initial push for legalization stemmed from a desire for state governments to create an alternate form of tax revenue. Lobbyists for sports betting companies have downplayed the addictive nature of the behavior, experts say.
“It made a lot of sense to do. It was popular, and everyone was going to make money off of it,” said Spencer Andrews, a student fellow at Harvard’s Petrie-Flom Center. Andrews, who spent several years as a research fellow at the National Institutes of Health, is the author of a two-part series for the Bill of Health Blog regarding the dangers of sports gambling.
“I just think it was a short-sighted decision,” he said. “In the end, as ubiquitous as it is now, it’s clearly gotten out of hand.”
In his series Andrews picks up on an aspect of sports betting that, according to psychologists, lends itself to addictive behavior.
“Having it on your phone with push notifications and constant advertisements is able to kind of hijack your brain in a really fascinating way,” he said. “Before, you’d have to drive to a casino, and I think that served as a bit of a barrier.”
Debi LaPlante, director of the Division on Addiction at the Cambridge Health Alliance and an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said she thinks it may be hard for clinicians to spot and treat negative sports betting behaviors because most have so little experience with it.
“Many healthcare providers don’t have the knowledge, skills, or tools to address gambling-related problems among their clients and patients,” she said.
LaPlante suggests making screening for gambling widely available for healthcare professionals to better connect people to help.
“Sometimes people don’t recognize when gambling is causing a problem,” she said.
Sparrow added that research suggests that even mild participation in sports betting may be harmful.
“We suspect up to 50 percent of gamblers suffer some degree of harm and regret, and a much broader definition say it’s having an adverse effect on their life, and they’ve tried to stop but can’t,” he said. “Now that’s not enough to get you designated as a gambler, but it still means it’s having a lasting detrimental effect in one dimension of life or another.”
Some safeguards have been implemented in recent years. Some sports betting apps allow users to set loss limits, and nearly every advertisement for sports betting across the U.S. is accompanied by addiction helpline information.
Andrews added that banning advertising during sports events may help state governments cut down on risky betting.
“It’s kind of like a cigarette brand advertising at a nicotine lovers conference or something. It’s a cheat code,” he said. “At the end of the day, the government owes their consumers a protection from being led astray by private interests. And I think taking a step back and letting anything happen here is just not the answer.”
Sparrow said another strategy is for states that haven’t approved online sports betting to stand firm.
“The industry would like to have us all believe that it’s inevitable all 50 will get there eventually,” he said. “The economic benefits are grossly over-emphasized in the policy debates leading up to legalization or increased legalization, and that’s a deliberate tactic on behalf of the industry.”
Samsung Tech Forum series continues at CES 2026 with industry leaders convening to explore the evolution of streaming
1/6/2026
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. held “FAST Forward: How New Streaming Models Are Shaping the Next Generation of TV” as part of its Tech Forum panel series at CES 2026. Taking place at The Wynn in Las Vegas, Nevada, the panel brought together leaders from entertainment and media to explore the evolution of streaming and the rapid rise of free-ad-supported television (FAST).
The session highlighted the interconnected relationship between today’s rapidly evolving consumer behaviors and preferences, the transformation of content by technology and monetization models, the expanding role of creators as studios and the ways in which interactive and live experiences are catalyzing a shift from passive viewing into active engagement.
Moderated by Natalie Jarvey of The Ankler, the panel featured Salek Brodsky, SVP and Global Head of Samsung TV Plus; Alessandra Catanese, CEO of Smosh and Bruce Casino, EVP, Sales & Distribution, U.S., NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution.
FAST Gains Momentum as Audiences Recalibrate Value
As audiences grapple with subscription fatigue and a fragmented streaming landscape, the panel focused on how FAST is restoring simplicity and value to television. Samsung TV Plus anchored the conversation as a platform designed to reduce friction, offering hundreds of live and on-demand channels in one free, easily accessible experience across Samsung TVs and devices worldwide.
“The TV experience today can often feel like too much work for the viewer,” said SVP Brodsky. “Our goal with Samsung TV Plus is to simplify television again and combine the power of linear discovery with a modern, connected experience that feels effortless, curated and truly valuable.”
The panelists emphasized that FAST has evolved into a core part of the streaming ecosystem, complementing subscription and traditional models while delivering premium, proven programming at scale. For Samsung TV Plus, that evolution is rooted in shared experiences that elevate viewing and meet users not just where they already are, but where they want to be.
Hybrid Models Redefine the Streaming Ecosystem
Panelists emphasized that the evolution of streaming is less about replacing traditional models and more about expanding how audiences engage with content. FAST, subscription and linear distribution models are increasingly working in tandem, allowing studios to extend the life of proven franchises, reach new viewers and unlock additional value without sacrificing performance elsewhere. By leveraging data, audience behavior and decades of content insight, media companies are deploying FAST to complement existing channels and create a more resilient and diversified ecosystem.
EVP Bruce Casino highlighted how this approach has enabled NBCUniversal to bring both classic and contemporary content to FAST audiences while continuing to see strong performance across platforms. “FAST doesn’t replace traditional distribution, it extends it,” said Casino. “What we’re seeing is that when great content shows up in multiple places, it creates incremental value rather than cannibalization — allowing franchises to thrive across FAST, streaming and linear channels.”
Creators Emerge as the New Studios
The panel also examined how the changing nature of consumer habits and television platforms means content creators do not have to work exclusively with legacy studios to reach a broad audience. As this medium expands from social platforms to the living room, FAST is helping bridge digital culture and traditional TV, while also serving to elevate its production quality.
Samsung TV Plus was highlighted as a platform that helps creators evolve from digital-first brands into full-fledged television studios, helping expand reach, unlock new monetization opportunities and introduce content to broader, global audiences.
One of the clearest examples of a brand that has taken the step from digital-first brand to legitimate TV studio is sketch comedy-improv collective Smosh. By launching a FAST channel with Samsung TV Plus, Smosh has been able to strengthen its connection with its already-dedicated fans while gaining access to a much larger viewer base. Due to this evolution, Smosh has enhanced long-term growth.
“Partnering with Samsung TV Plus allowed us to elevate our production quality and invest in the future of the Smosh brand,” said CEO Alessandra Catanese. “It was the right platform to help us reach a broader audience while positioning our content in a premium environment that supports where we’re headed as a company.”
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nvidia, AMD and Intel all had important chip and AI platform announcements on the first day of CES 2026, but all audiences wanted to see more of was Star Wars and Jensen Huang’s little robot buddies.
CES is a huge opportunity annually for companies both large and small to parade products they plan to put on shelves this year. As predicted, artificial intelligence was anchored in nearly everything as tech firms continue to look for AI products that will attract customers.
Here are the highlights from Day 1:

Nvidia gets physical
The biggest buzzword in the air at CES is “physical AI,” Nvidia’s term for AI models that are trained in a virtual environment using computer generated, “synthetic” data, then deployed as physical machines once they’ve mastered their purpose.
CEO Jensen Huang showed off Cosmos, an AI foundation model trained on massive datasets, capable of simulating environments governed by actual physics. He also announced Alpamayo, an AI model specifically designed for autonomous driving. Huang revealed that Nvidia’s next generation AI superchip platform, dubbed Vera Rubin, is in full production, and that Nvidia has a new partnership with Siemens. All of this shows Nvidia is going to fight increased competition to retain its reputation as the backbone of the AI industry.
But once Huang called for two little, waddling, chirping robots to join him on stage, that’s all the audience wanted to see more of.

The chips are back in town
AMD CEO Lisa Su announced a new line of its famed Ryzen AI processors as the company continues to expand its footprint in the world of AI-powered personal computers.
For gamers, AMD also showed off the latest version of its gaming-focused processor, the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D.
Meanwhile, Intel announced its new AI chip for laptops, Panther Lake (also known as the Intel Core Ultra Series 3), and said the company has plans to launch a new platform to address a growing market for handheld video gaming machines.
WATCH: What’s next for AI and has its explosive growth in 2025 created a bubble?
Intel, a Silicon Valley pioneer that enjoyed decades of growth as its processors powered the personal computer boom, fell into a slump after missing the shift to the mobile computing era unleashed by the iPhone. It fell further behind after the AI boom propelled Nvidia into the spotlight.
President Donald Trump’s administration stepped in recently to secure a 10% stake in the company, making the government one of Intel’s biggest shareholders. Federal officials said they invested in Intel to support U.S. technology and domestic manufacturing.

Uber dives back into the robotaxi game
Uber is giving the public a first look at their robotaxi at CES this week. Uber, along with luxury electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Motors and vehicle tech company Nuro, introduced an autonomous vehicle with an Uber-designed in-cabin experience.
Uber calls it the most luxurious robotaxi yet. It features cameras, sensors and radars that provide 360-degree perception and a low-profile roof “halo” with integrated LEDs that will display riders’ initials to help them spot their car and track their ride status. Inside, riders can personalize everything from climate and seat heating to music, while real-time visuals show exactly what the vehicle is seeing on the road and the route it plans to take.
Autonomous on-road testing began last month in San Francisco, led by Nuro, marking a major step toward what the companies said is a planned launch before the end of the year.
Star Wars and Lego announce a new partnership
When Lucasfilm chief creative officer David Filoni brought out an array of X-Wing pilots, Chewbacca, R2D2 and C-3PO, he won the Star Wars fandom for Lego.
Lego announced its Lego Smart Play platform on Monday, which introduces new smart bricks, tags and special minifigs for your collection. The new bricks contain sensors that enable them to sense light and distance, and to provide an array of responses, essentially lights and sounds, when they are used in unison.
Combine this with a newly announced partnership with the Star Wars franchise and now you can create your own interactive space battles and light-saber duels.

LG reveals a new robot to help around the home
File this one under intrigued, for now.
The Korean tech giant gave the media a glimpse Monday of its humanoid robot that is designed to handle household chores such as folding laundry and fetching food. Although many companies have robots on display at CES, LG certainly is one of the biggest tech companies to promise to put a service robot in homes.
It will be on display beginning Tuesday, so we’ll have more to report soon.
What’s new with lollipops?
Music you can taste was on display Monday at CES: Lollipop Star unveiled a candy that plays music while you eat it. The company says it uses something called “bone induction technology,” which lets you hear songs — like tracks from Ice Spice and Akon — through the lollipop as you lick it or bite it in the back of your mouth, according to spokesperson Cassie Lawrence.
The musical lollipops will go on sale after CES on Lollipop Star’s website for $8.99 each. And if that wasn’t enough star power, Akon was expected to visit the company’s booth Tuesday when CES opens to the public.
Atlas holds up Hyundai’s (manufacturing) world
Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated its humanoid robot Atlas for the first time at the CES tech showcase, ratcheting up a competition with Tesla and other rivals to build robots that look like people and do things that people do.
The company said a version of the robot that will help assemble cars is already in production and will be deployed by 2028 at Hyundai’s electric vehicle manufacturing facility near Savannah, Georgia.
Delta gets spherical
Delta Air Lines is taking entertainment to new heights as the “official airline” of the Sphere in Las Vegas. The airline announced a new multiyear partnership with Sphere Entertainment Co. that it says will deliver premium experiences to the venue, including a Delta SKY360° Club lounge.
The carrier said SkyMiles members can unlock exclusive access to other experiences at the Sphere, starting during the final weekend of the Backstreet Boys’ residency in February with features including private suite seating, food and beverages. The partnership brings Delta branding to the Sphere’s massive exterior LED screen. Delta says more exclusive SkyMiles experiences will roll out in 2026 and beyond.

Kawartha Lakes – Following the launch of the new Blue Box Recycling Program on January 1, Kawartha Lakes staff recognize that some residents have concerns or experienced challenges with their recycling collection. We are working with Circular Materials and Emterra to support a smooth adjustment period, and in the meantime, would like to clarify some information to reduce confusion.
Program roles
The new provincial recycling program was developed by Circular Materials to meet provincial regulations, with Emterra contracted to provide recycling collection services in Kawartha Lakes.
Program details specific to Kawartha Lakes are available on the Circular Materials website here.
Who to contact
Residents with recycling service questions or concerns should contact Emterra first, as they are responsible for service delivery and best equipped to respond:
Similar to municipal operations, Emterra does not respond to after-hours calls or weekend emails until the next business day. As a result, residents may experience longer response times due to higher-than-normal call and email volumes.
Escalations
If residents are eligible for service, have already contacted Emterra, and remain dissatisfied, the next step is to contact Circular Materials.
The recycling program is a function of the province and as such, further questions or concerns can be directed to:
Set-out and pick-up times
Residents must place garbage and recycling at the curb by 7am. Collection times may vary due to new routes, weather issues and collection volumes. Residents are also asked to wait until 7pm before reporting a missed collection to Emterra.
Alcoholic beverage containers
Provincial Blue Box regulations require a separate collection system for alcoholic beverage containers, such as the Ontario Deposit Return Program (also known as the “Bag It Back” program). Alcoholic beverage containers are not intended to be included in curbside recycling, despite having been picked up by the previous collector.
Residents should plan to use the separate collection system for these materials going forward, so materials don’t get left behind. More information, including information on where to return empties is available at Ontario Deposit Return Program website and The Beer Store website.
Weather and holiday impacts
Recycling continues on an alternating weekly schedule. If recycling is missed due to weather, the contractor will not return the following week to collect the missed material. Residents must wait until the next eligible collection week (two weeks later).
Alternatively, recycling materials are currently accepted at landfill sites during regular operating hours (note: fees apply to residential materials in quantities greater than 150kg).
Recycling containers
A list of recyclable materials is available on the Circular Materials Ontario website. If you are still unsure, acceptable containers should be confirmed with Emterra. The following guidelines also apply:
Residents requiring new or additional recycling bins must contact Emterra directly. Bins will not be replaced if lost or damaged by a resident, but should otherwise be provided.
Thank you
We acknowledge and appreciate your desire to organize your recycling correctly to maximize the municipality’s efforts, and we thank you for your patience as everyone adjusts to the new program. We will continue to share updates as information becomes available.
At the Tech Lab located at the center of the booth, visitors can explore Boston Dynamics’ ongoing journey of experiments and challenges to create robotics that contribute to everyday life. Designed as a research lab concept, the exhibition space features the humanoid robot Atlas and the quadruped robot Spot, both performing processes of self-learning and testing.
First, meet Boston Dynamics’ Atlas in two versions: the ‘Atlas prototype’ and the ‘Atlas product’ model. The Atlas prototype, first unveiled in 2024, was built to test core functions required for commercialization. Equipped with joints that rotate 360 degrees, it enables natural walking and efficient, stable movements, performing fully autonomous actions in work environments. In October 2025, it successfully completed pilot testing at Hyundai Motor Group’s Meta Plant America (HMGMA). Atlas repeatedly performs sequencing tasks – picking up automotive parts and aligning them in a different rack – within automotive assembly processes. Through this process, Atlas accumulates training data to continuously refine its capabilities.
Building on the Atlas prototype, we introduce a new model with enhanced efficiency and stability – the Atlas product. Leveraging Boston Dynamics’ extensive experience, Atlas product is capable of autonomous learning and adapting to any work environment, maximizing productivity in real manufacturing settings. This version features 56 DoFs(degrees of freedoms), allowing full joint rotation, and offers 360-degree vision through an integrated camera. It also boasts a maximum payload capacity of 50 kg (approximately 110 lbs), water and dustproof, and an autonomous battery-swapping function for more efficient operation. These advancements enable Atlas to learn and adapt to diverse environments and therefore is expected to significantly improv manufacturing efficiency. Hyundai Motor Group plans to mass-produce the Atlas and deploy it widely across its global manufacturing sites, including HMGMA and gradually expand its deployment through process-by-process validation.
CHICAGO — Today, Mayor Brandon Johnson and City officials joined developer Citizens Building a Better Community (CBBC) to break ground on seven two-flats in North Lawndale, the first of 115 market rate units planned for construction in the community through the Department of Planning and Development’s (DPD) Missing Middle infill housing initiative. The neighborhood repopulation strategy is leveraging City land and financing to facilitate construction of contemporary, medium-density housing that has become “missing” from South and West Side communities as a result of decades of disinvestment.
“Today we take another step forward in our mission to rapidly build new homes and invest in the neighborhoods where Chicago’s families live, grow, and plant roots,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson. “As we continue to confront the housing crisis head-on, initiatives like Missing Middle address the critical disparities that exist in access to homeownership. With each project, we demonstrate what’s possible when government and community come together to lay the foundation for a more equitable and thriving city.”
The $5.4 million project is transforming seven formerly-vacant City lots on the 1400 and 1500 blocks of South Trumbull and Homan Avenues and the 3300 block of West Douglas Boulevard into homes that will be marketed to buyers earning up to 140% of the area’s median income—$134,400 for a two-person household.
Missing Middle provides City lots for $1 and up to $150,000 per unit in funds made available by Mayor Johnson’s $1.25 Housing and Economic Development Bond to help developers create homes with purchase prices that are commensurate with market rates.
Four additional Missing Middle projects are anticipated to break ground in North Lawndale early this year led by minority-led developers Alteza Group, Westside Community Group, Beauty for Ashes and Sunshine Management. Selected in January 2025 along with CBBC through a DPD Request for Proposals (RFP) process, the five projects collectively include 40 multi-unit buildings valued at more than $37 million.
“Missing Middle is a fast-track repopulation and wealth-building strategy that’s underway less than a year after developers were selected through the RFP,” said DPD Commissioner Ciere Boatright. “That’s how we cut the tape. That’s how we revitalize neighborhoods. And that’s how we create wealth-building opportunities for local buyers.”
A second round of selected proposals in Chatham, South Chicago and Morgan Park are creating 101 units across 31 buildings valued at $38.8 million.
Developer selections for a third round of Missing Middle projects in McKinley Park, West Garfield Park and East Garfield Park are expected by the spring.
Mayor Johnson remains committed to delivering more affordable homes and projects which build up communities in North Lawndale and neighborhoods across Chicago. Mayor Johnson has put the construction of a larger, more diverse housing stock and more affordable homes at the center of his strategy to make Chicago more affordable for working people.
More information about the program and selected projects is available on the Missing Middle website.
