The Massachusetts Department 00:02:48.030 --> 00:02:51.349 of Elementary and Secondary Education notified 00:02:51.349 --> 00:02:54.870 nearly 200 school districts that at least one 00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:57.530 student was impacted by an AI grading glitch, 00:02:57.949 --> 00:03:00.650 which resulted in hundreds of essays being scored 00:03:00.650 --> 00:03:05.469 incorrectly on the MCAS exams. The NBC 10 investigators 00:03:05.469 --> 00:03:09.250 obtained the list of 192 school districts through 00:03:09.250 --> 00:03:13.759 a public records request. As previously reported, 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.840 the technology misgraded about 1 ,400 essays, 00:03:18.259 --> 00:03:20.680 which were later re -scored after the error was 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.479 detected. Shaleen Title, an adjunct professor 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.039 and parent from Malden, expressed her concerns 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.860 to the school committee, stating she was unaware 00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:34.060 that AI was used for essay grading. She worries 00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:36.780 that AI might show bias against students with 00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:39.860 disabilities or those learning English as a second 00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:49.389 language. Now on to sports. The National Football 00:03:49.389 --> 00:03:52.889 League approved minority sales for the San Francisco 00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:56.449 49ers, New York Giants, and New England Patriots 00:03:56.449 --> 00:03:58.750 at a league meeting in New York on Wednesday. 00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:03.330 The 49ers announced a minority investment by 00:04:03.330 --> 00:04:07.250 Pete Breiger Jr. and the Breiger family.

Jed York, CEO of the 49ers, welcomed 00:04:18.410 --> 00:04:21.050 the Breiger family, emphasizing their shared 00:04:21.050 --> 00:04:24.810 commitment to the team's success. Julia Copch 00:04:24.810 --> 00:04:28.370 and her family will acquire a 10 % minority stake 00:04:28.370 --> 00:04:32.250 in the Giants. The Patriots sold a total of 8 00:04:32.250 --> 00:04:36.350 % in minority stakes to Dean Metropolis and Sixth 00:04:36.350 --> 00:04:39.110 Street Partners. earning principal owner Robert 00:04:39.110 --> 00:04:44.750 Kraft $720 million. And tonight, on Thursday 00:04:44.750 --> 00:04:48.430 Night Football, the 3 -3 Vikings are at the 4 00:04:48.430 --> 00:04:54.050 -3 Chargers.

Edgecombe scored 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.720 the most points in an NBA debut since Wilt Chamberlain 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:34.300 had 43 on October 24, 1959. Joel and B played 00:05:34.300 --> 00:05:37.459 for the first time since February, scoring four 00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:41.779 points on one of nine shooting.

In 00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:58.139 top news, nearly half of seniors are affected 00:05:58.139 --> 00:06:01.100 by a massive recall of a popular prescription 00:06:01.100 --> 00:06:04.959 medication. The latest recall involves generic 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.779 versions of atorvastatin calcium used by around 00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:12.680 47 million Americans to lower bad cholesterol. 00:06:13.980 --> 00:06:16.459 The United States Food and Drug Administration 00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:19.939 updated a Class II recall notice due to quality 00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:23.579 failures. This means the pills may not dissolve 00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:26.540 properly and could undermine treatment effectiveness. 00:06:27.779 --> 00:06:29.759 Patients should check their prescription bottles 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:34.310 against the FDA notice. If affected, do not stop 00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:37.209 taking the medication abruptly and contact your 00:06:37.209 --> 00:06:41.750 health care provider for guidance. In business 00:06:41.750 --> 00:06:45.649 news, Coca -Cola has officially begun rolling 00:06:45.649 --> 00:06:48.730 out soda made with cane sugar across the United 00:06:48.730 --> 00:06:51.449 States, following President Donald Trump's urging 00:06:51.449 --> 00:06:54.269 to bring back the ingredient to its American 00:06:54.269 --> 00:06:58.279 products. A new 12 -ounce, single -serve glass 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.399 bottle of Coca -Cola's signature soda made with 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.279 United States cane sugar is launching in select 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.240 markets nationwide this fall, according to a 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.379 spokesperson for the company. The spokesperson 00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:13.319 stated that this move offers consumers a classic 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.720 and timeless way to enjoy their Coca -Cola original 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:21.339 taste made with United States cane sugar. Coca 00:07:21.339 --> 00:07:24.360 -Cola's Chief Financial Officer John Murphy noted 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.839 that the launch will be gradual due to limited 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.100 availability of cane sugar in the United States. 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.420 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged at about 00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:42.079 $109 ,000.

In our community spotlight on 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.459 health and wellness, we are working with a national 00:07:57.459 --> 00:08:00.519 Pilates studio to bring you some free classes, 00:08:01.019 --> 00:08:05.120 so listen up.

And now, 00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:39.559 back to the show. Let's talk science. In a freak 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.320 accident, scientists may have unlocked faster 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.919 internet for everyone. This discovery could also 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.539 enhance artificial intelligence data center's 00:08:48.539 --> 00:08:51.299 ability to transfer vast amounts of information 00:08:51.299 --> 00:08:54.940 more effectively. Researchers have created a 00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:57.759 chip -sized frequency comm, which splits laser 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.580 light into multiple colors, each representing 00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:04.159 its own optical channel. This new technology 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.460 replaces costly and powerful lasers, allowing 00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:12.480 for compact, energy -efficient systems. As artificial 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.200 intelligence data centers struggle to transmit 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.580 data swiftly, this innovation could revolutionize 00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:22.360 their operations. Columbia University's Michael 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.299 Lipson emphasizes that this progress is vital 00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:31.039 for efficient data center infrastructure. And 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.779 in entertainment news, Vin Diesel has provided 00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:38.559 a hopeful update on Fast and Furious 11 after 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.080 rumors of its cancellation surfaced. It has been 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:45.279 nearly two and a half years since Fast Five concluded 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.360 on a cliffhanger, leaving fans anxious for the 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.639 sequel. Although initially expected to release 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.519 in 2026, the film remains without a date, and 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.580 concerns about its budget have arisen. In a recent 00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:02.799 Instagram post, Diesel shared a video with Michael 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.919 Moses, the chief marketing officer at Universal 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:10.100 Pictures, suggesting positive developments. Moses 00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:13.399 stated, Out drifting with Dom Toretto planning 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:17.720 everything, we got it solved. As fans await more 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.539 news, here's hoping the project is back on track. 00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:24.960 Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.039 of the day. And today, our quote comes from the 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.440 American diplomat and Nobel Peace Prize laureate 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:37.429 Ralph Bunch. And he said, Peace, to have meaning 00:10:37.429 --> 00:10:40.090 for many who have known only suffering in both 00:10:40.090 --> 00:10:43.269 peace and war, must be translated into bread 00:10:43.269 --> 00:10:47.409 or rice, shelter, health, and education, as well 00:10:47.409 --> 00:10:52.009 as freedom and human dignity. And that's a wrap 00:10:52.009 --> 00:10:55.210 for this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:10:55.629 --> 00:10:59.230 YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 00:10:59.230 --> 00:11:02.370 videos with local news and the weather reports. 00:11:05.789 --> 00:11:08.649 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of 00:11:08.649 --> 00:11:09.950 Sunny Mornings in Boston.
