September 4th - According to the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Unified School District, the second-largest public school district in the United States, will ban all students from using generative AI this school year. New York City Public Schools, the largest school district in the U.S., also announced on Wednesday a one-year moratorium on such tools until high school. The Los Angeles Unified School Districts policy was mentioned at a committee meeting on Wednesday regarding the use of AI in schools. In June, the district board had already set limits on screen time based on student age. Regarding these policies, district officials further clarified this week that they will ban all students from using generative AI, regardless of age. Dominic Caguioa, director of educational technology and innovation, told board members at the meeting that the district is now "taking a much stricter approach to content and platforms."Futures News, September 4th: Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) Energy and Chemical Warehouse Receipts and Changes on September 4th: 1.

With global supply shortages persisting and the peak demand season approaching, data from the American Automobile Association (AAA) showed that the average price of diesel across the U.S. rose to $5.85 per gallon on Thursday, surpassing the peak reached in June 2022. The rising diesel prices will not only increase the burden on consumers but also pose political challenges to the White House ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, which are just two months away. Furthermore, the continued rise in diesel prices could further hinder the Federal Reserves efforts to curb inflation. In recent weeks, Federal Reserve officials have signaled differing opinions on the necessity of raising interest rates, with the next Fed meeting scheduled for mid-September.
