  • Heightened AI use in special education raises legal and privacy concerns
    November 4, 2025, 7:06 AM EST. New polling from the Center for Democracy and Technology shows nearly 60% of special education teachers used AI to develop an IEP or Section 504 plan in 2024-25, with time savings as a key benefit. Yet CDT warns that crafting individualized plans with AI can risk IDEA compliance and privacy breaches if data are entered into unvetted tools. The report highlights potential violations of FERPA and state laws, alongside possible inaccuracies and biases. AI can help identify trends, summarize plan content, and suggest accommodations, but significant teacher review remains essential. Schools should vet tools to protect student rights and ensure adherence to privacy rules and IDEA requirements while balancing efficiency with safeguards.
  • Asian shares mixed as AI-led rally props up Wall Street
    November 4, 2025, 7:04 AM EST. Asian stocks were mixed as traders booked profits after an AI-led surge on Wall Street. European indexes edged lower, with the CAC 40, DAX and FTSE 100 slipping as investors lock in gains. In the U.S., futures pointed to a softer start, with Dow and S&P 500 futures down as earnings season looms. In Asia, the Nikkei slipped after a holiday, while Hong Kong and Shanghai drifted lower. The rally has been supported by AI stars like Nvidia and Amazon, but analysts say gains on Wall Street will hinge on upcoming earnings growth. Investors remain focused on valuations, profit growth, and whether the AI-driven lift can sustain beyond the current cycle.
  • Lee Calls for Bipartisan Support for 2026 Budget Centered on AI Push
    November 4, 2025, 7:00 AM EST. President Lee Jae Myung unveiled a 728 trillion won 2026 budget, calling it Korea's first step into the AI era and urging bipartisan support. He argued the AI transition is essential for national survival and said the plan raises AI funding to 10.1 trillion won, with 2.6 trillion for AI across industry, daily life, and public sectors, and 7.5 trillion for talent and infrastructure. Seoul will add 15,000 high-performance GPUs, aiming for 35,000 units, while Nvidia is to supply 260,000 processors to Korea to ease private access. He also moved to raise defense spending 8.2% to 66.3 trillion won, seeking to build a domestic defense tech industry and push Korea toward top-four defense exporters. The package, delivered during a budget address boycotted by the opposition, emphasizes R&D and startups in the AI age.

  • Norway's sovereign wealth fund votes against Elon Musk's near-$1 trillion Tesla pay package
    November 4, 2025, 6:48 AM EST. Norway's sovereign wealth fund NBIM said it will vote against Elon Musk's proposed near-$1 trillion Tesla pay package at the forthcoming shareholder meeting, signaling a rare rebuke of management guidance. NBIM, which holds about 1.14% of Tesla worth roughly 118.3 billion kroner ($11.6 billion), cited concerns over the package's size, potential dilution, and key-person risk. Tesla's plan would grant Musk a multi-decade award contingent on milestones and could expand his voting rights. Tesla shares were down in premarket trading. The move comes amid opposition from labor groups and proxy advisers ISS and Glass Lewis, though Musk has defended the plan and dubbed critics 'corporate terrorists.' NBIM previously voted against reinstating Musk's $56 billion pay deal after it was rescinded by a U.S. court.
