It’s Tech Tuesday here on Enterprise Biz Bytes and this week we delve into the gripping Black Mirror narrative that has actors worried about AI taking over their roles. We'll also explore the surge in student interest in computing, driven by the unstoppable rise of digital trends and AI.

Next, we set our sights on India, where the newly implemented GST on online gaming could stifle a flourishing industry, potentially altering the gaming landscape for millions.

Lastly, we'll look at the plummeting ad revenue of Twitter following its acquisition by the renowned tech magnate, Elon Musk.
