This week on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Artificial intelligence has been revolutionizing a number of industries - and farming is making use of new technologies. Experts hope AI can help answer the challenge of feeding the world's growing population.

Bloomington is exploring changes to the College and Walnut corridor in hopes of improving the main north-south thoroughfare through town. One option being considered would make both streets two-way.

And we look at a new report by the state that explains where school voucher money is going - and who is using it.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
