DESCRIPTION:The black hole information paradox — whether information esc
 apes an evaporating black hole or not —  remains one of the greatest uns
 olved mysteries of theoretical physics. The apparent conflict between vali
 dity of semiclassical gravity at low curvatures and unitarity of quantum m
 echanics has long been expected to find its resolution in the deep quantum
  gravity regime. Recent developments in the holographic dictionary and in 
 particular its application to entanglement\, however\, have shown that a s
 emiclassical analysis of gravitational physics has a hallmark feature of u
 nitary evolution. I will describe this recent progress and discuss some po
 tential new avenues for working towards a resolution of the information pa
 radox.
