Military spouses often face situations and challenges that most civilians don’t deployments, long periods of separation and adhering to codes that sometimes can stifle human emotion.
But with adaptability, dependability and a good set of ears, those issues often can get worked out, said one Arizona State University military spouse.
“There’s many challenges that I was not prepared for and that we were not aware of,” said Army veteran and ASU alumna Karen Cruz, who is married to Melvin Cruz, also an Army veteran and ASU graduate. “But we learned along the way.”
Watch the Bulletin virtual program, “The AI Era: What will the future look like?” featuring Missy Cummings and Eric Horvitz in conversation with Nadya Bliss.

Experts from the Code 8.7 community have turned to artificial intelligence (AI) and computational science to fight modern slavery, along with human trafficking and forced child labour. The group takes its name from Target 8.7 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, asking UN Member States to take “immediate and effective measures” to eradicate modern slavery and end child labour by 2025.
