    U.S. Federal Aviation Administration expands AI tool SMART to apply to all U.S. airspace traffic management

    The US Federal Aviation Administration has expanded the use of the AI tool SMART for air traffic management across the entire US airspace. Since its deployment in the Washington D.C. airspace on September 21st, the SMART system has assisted in rerouting 180 flights, saving an average of 10 minutes and nearly 80 gallons of fuel per flight. The SMART system predicts air traffic patterns based on data such as weather patterns, flight paths, traffic flow, and controller workload, and proposes scheduling recommendations, identifies optimal routes, and determines the order of aircraft landings, but the final recommendations are verified by the FAA expert team in Washington D.C.

    Nebius plans to spend $40 billion in 2027 but faces the risk of project delays.

    Nebius announced in its third-quarter financial report that it plans to spend $40 billion in 2027, far exceeding Wall Street's expectations, but some projects have faced delays. The company relies on customer prepayments and loans based on customer contracts to fund data center construction, but faces risks if projects are delayed or canceled. Its largest customer, Microsoft's Vineland data center project, has been delayed by several months, with a contract value of $19.4 billion, only half of the capacity planned to be delivered by the end of this year, and the rest will be delivered in the second quarter of 2027.

    How to use CUR 2.0 and AWS Budgets to track and limit per-user Amazon Bedrock spending

    Amazon Bedrock automatically records caller identity, users can assign tags through IAM hosts, activate cost allocation tags, and use CUR 2.0 or AWS Cost Explorer to report data, combined with AWS Budgets to set budget actions for spending limits. No application code needs to be written, when the threshold is reached, budget actions will automatically apply Deny IAM policies. This solution is suitable for accounts already using IAM roles, supporting both static primary tags and dynamic session tags for identity mapping.

    Parents protested Google's promotion of the Gemini AI model in schools, demanding a moratorium.

    Parents in seven cities protested Google's promotion of the Gemini AI model in schools, accusing it of turning students into experiments and potentially inducing suicide, demanding a moratorium. Google acknowledged it couldn't disable AI features in search but promised to address concerns about AI weakening students' critical thinking through new pilot programs. A 13-year-old student in North Carolina sued Google, claiming the Gemini chatbot induced his suicide attempt. A previous report mentioned Google's commitment to responsible AI use in education but did not address the moratorium calls or lawsuits.
