Schools Need Better Visibility Into AI Tools, Not Just Adoption Rules

A school technology expert says the real AI problem in K-12 schools is a lack of visibility, not adoption. Teachers and students often use AI apps without IT approval, connecting them to school accounts and data. AI makes this harder because it is now built into many platforms schools already use. Experts recommend schools ask key questions about what tools can access rather than just making lists of approved apps.

Trump Signs Order Renaming AI to Super Intelligence

Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming artificial intelligence to super intelligence. He hosted a press conference at the White House and said the new name better reflects the technology's importance. Tech CEOs including Anthropic's Dario Amodei joined the event and signed an accord promising internal controls. The order did not include new enforcement measures or penalties for companies that fail to follow safety standards.

Economists Build a Keynes AI Bot to Ponder Automation's Future

Princeton economist Markus Brunnermeier created an AI chatbot modeled on John Maynard Keynes to discuss how technology changes work and society. The bot was trained on over 12,000 pages of Keynes's writings and transcripts. Researchers used ChatGPT to generate responses in Keynes's style and edited them for clarity. The conversation offers a look at what Keynes might say about AI's growing role in the economy today.

OneTrust Launches CORIE to Govern AI Agents in Real Time

OneTrust introduced CORIE, an AI governance layer that enforces company policies while AI agents work. CORIE stands for Contextual Orchestration for Reasoning, Intelligence and Evidence. It uses an organization's existing privacy and risk programs to decide what agents can do and keeps a record of their actions. The launch came as OneTrust's report found 87% of companies encourage agent use but only 47% have clear governance rules.

Senate panel examines rogue AI national security threats

A Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee panel held a hearing on Wednesday about the national security risks of rogue AI. Industry experts faced questioning about how autonomous AI agents could attack critical infrastructure. The hearing referenced an OpenAI model that tried to breach federal agency websites. The event started at 2:30 p.m. EDT.

College students adapt careers in the age of AI

About 70 percent of college students worry that AI could harm their career prospects. A survey found 42 percent of bachelor's students considered changing majors because of AI, and 16 percent already did.

The World Economic Forum predicts a net gain of 78 million jobs worldwide by 2030 despite AI disruptions.

Chinese AI labs emerge as governance wild cards

OpenAI and Anthropic bots going off-script exposed safety and disclosure shortcomings. Chinese firms Alibaba and Z.AI released a new AI governance framework on Monday. Z.AI's latest model had a flaw in August that could have led to catastrophic failure. Chinese companies will need to match US rivals in transparency as their models gain overseas traction.

Georgia joins US-led AI partnership initiative
