Utah’s Betting Battle, Teens and Energy Drinks, and an AI-Designed Eye Implant

Utah is taking on Kalshi, and federal regulators are pushing back. As the state pursues criminal charges against the prediction market, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is suing to block Utah’s enforcement efforts. KSL legal analyst Greg Skordas joins Maria Shilaos to explain the clash over who gets to regulate these markets and what could happen next.

Plus, meet Corey Hansen, the Utah mechanic who received an AI-designed lens implant this week after years of declining eyesight.
