D-Wave Quantum Inc. Common Shares (QBTS)

AI is no longer just an experiment in education. It has quietly become an everyday learning assistant used by students to unpack topics, condense notes, and craft assignments. Teachers use it to plan lessons, grade work faster, and reduce paperwork. While this rapid growth shows how powerful AI can be in education, it has also created a serious problem . The technology is moving much faster than the rules and guidance meant to control it.

Artificial intelligence already plays a quiet role in everyday digital tasks, from answering questions online to estimating when a rideshare will arrive. But its influence is spreading well beyond screens and software.

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of everyday life, and health care is no exception. Under a major bill pushed by U.S. President Donald Trump, states are now being encouraged to adopt more AI technology in hospitals in exchange for federal funding. Supporters say this could modernize health care, especially in rural areas. However, many experts are urging caution, warning that AI should support care, not replace it or become a shortcut for cutting costs.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at limiting states from setting their own regulations for AI, moving instead toward what the White House described as a unified national approach to the rapidly expanding technology.

The U.S. Navy has partnered with AI firm Palantir on a $448 million effort to advance computational intelligence and machine automation throughout submarine production. This partnership aims to transform shipyard workflows using sophisticated analytics and prediction tools. Maritime Industrial Base Program leaders alongside Naval Sea Systems Command will direct the Shipbuilding Operating System initiative .

President Donald Trump said Monday that his administration will permit Nvidia to resume sales of its H200 AI chips to selected buyers in China, as long as those customers receive approval from U.S. officials. Trump posted the announcement on social media, saying the policy aims to safeguard national security, support domestic employment, and preserve what he described as the country’s edge in advanced computing.
