☆ How Trump's mass deportation plan can use AI to extend immigration crackdown
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-01 | by ( Kevin Williams | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

An AI immigration dragnet vs. AI deregulation and growthRemaya Campbell, acting commissioner for Homeland Security for the District of Columbia, said that AI could automate immigration-related decision-making, bypassing traditional processes. "And in the Trump administration, that could certainly mean reinforcing intersectional biases to align with political priorities," she said. "Expectations are that a Trump administration would push for even more AI surveillance, potentially introducing autonomous patrols and expanding biometric screening," Sahota said. While this could improve border security, it could also spark concerns around privacy, particularly for those living near borders. She thinks AI will blossom and be deregulated in a Trump administration.

☆ Joe Biden’s pardon reversal reflects family loyalty over legacy
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-01 | by ( Jeff Zeleny | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

The decision to issue a blanket pardon for his son Hunter will forever be a part of the president’s legacy. For Biden, family has long come above nearly everything. After Beau Biden died of a glioblastoma brain tumor in 2015, the elder Biden’s bond with Hunter strengthened beyond words. It was not one reached, like so many Biden judgments, after long and tedious discussions with his circle of advisers. This was a far more of a family decision, where his role as a father – the only title he will keep for life – came above all else.

Education experts told BI these shifts could force colleges to change the way they charge students. Still, steep college costs remain a barrier for many seeking a higher education. Additionally, institutional grant aid for all students rose by $19.6 billion over the same timeframe, accounting for 52% of all grant aid in the 2023-24 school year. Since state funding shifts, there are steps colleges can take to make higher education more affordable for its students. However, it's unclear where federal investment for higher education will sit under President-elect Donald Trump, placing the focus on colleges to consider ways to make a four-year degree affordable.
