AI and better-designed public housing are making strides in improving futures, according to recent reports. A Vox article highlighted the potential for better-designed public housing to increase low-income children's future earnings by as much as 50 percent, while advancements in AI are also contributing to positive developments. Simultaneously, a surf academy in Senegal is using surfing to encourage girls' education, providing a pathway back to education for those who had dropped out or never enrolled.
The Vox article, written by Marina Bolotnikova, focused on the impact of improved public housing design. The article did not provide specific details on the design improvements, but it did reference the historical context of large public housing projects built in the U.S. from the 1930s to the 1960s. These projects, often high-rise complexes, later suffered from disrepair and concentrated poverty.
In Dakar, Senegal, the Black Girls Surf academy is helping approximately 20 girls return to education. The program, which targets girls from traditional fishing communities, links surfing with school attendance. It provides surfing lessons, equipment, and evening classes, offering new opportunities for girls who had previously dropped out or never enrolled in school, according to Euronews.
Meanwhile, AI continues to make advancements. Researchers have developed a new technique called TTT-Discover that allows AI models to adapt and learn during inference, according to a Vox article. The stock market's performance was also noted, with tech stocks driving activity, though the S&P 500 ended with overall losses.
