LLMs are being applied in various fields, presenting ample opportunities for AI development. The U.S. currently leads in technology development and innovation, with its models excelling at the technological forefront.

CPI or EPI, or Both?
CPI or EPI, or Both?
Dr. Stephen Y CHIU
Household spending is a key factor in personal and family financial planning, as well as policymaking to improve people's livelihoods. While the government's Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a mainstream indicator, it often fails to accurately reflect the daily living costs of the public. CPI has limitations, such as over-emphasising non-essential goods and services (e.g. Rental expenses and furniture), and people's subjective inflation perceptions tend to be higher than the actual data.
