DOST-NAICRI launch deepens DepEd’s aim to properly integrate AI into basic education

MANILA, Philippines – The launch of the Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) National Artificial Intelligence Center for Research and Innovation (NAICRI) on Thursday, February 26, saw stakeholders from various national agencies discussing how to integrate or make artificial intelligence useful and relevant in the Philippine landscape.
For the Department of Education (DepEd), the launch of NAICRI as the country’s AI hub complements its ongoing reforms in workforce development, digital infrastructure, and responsible governance. Education Secretary Sonny Angara, in a press statement, said the DepEd wants Filipino students to be ready for a future where AI is common, while still making sure AI is used safely, fairly, and responsibly.
For the DepEd’s part, it was focusing on institutionalizing the integration of AI through three pillars: AI in education, education on AI, and AI for education systems. These pillars would focus on protecting learners and fostering human-centered innovation with assistance from artificial intelligence.
Among the DepEd’s key programs are Project TALINO (Tracking Adoption Locations and Infrastructure Network Operations), a digital mapping system which provides real-time insights into school needs to guide planning and resource allocations; Project DUNONG (Dashboard for Understanding NASH Outcomes and National Grade-generation), which automates the National Qualifying Examination for School Heads; and Project SALIKSEEK, which is a generative AI-powered quick-response tool that can lower the retrieval time for education data inquiries from days or weeks to a matter of seconds.
DepEd, in a bid to have guardrails for AI use in place, also issued the Foundational Guidelines on the Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Basic Education. This would set up a national framework to further ethical, inclusive, and risk-proportionate AI use in schools.
These guidelines would adopt risk-basked classifications in accordance with global standards that would prohibit high-risk AI use. Such high-risk actions include manipulative chatbots for minors, biometric emotion recognition, and social scoring mechanisms.
This push towards AI also necessitates requiring privacy impact assessments, the establishment of a DepEd AI Registry, as well as strict compliance with data privacy and child protection laws prior to any AI deployment.
“Education must be both protected and future-ready,” Angara said.
“We will harness AI to close learning gaps, strengthen governance, and empower teachers — but always with safeguards, transparency, and human oversight,” he added. – Rappler.com

Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated
The post Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. X account @SaniExp, which belongs to the founder of the Timechain Index explorer, has published data showing that a dormant BTC wallet was activated after hibernating for six years. However, it was set up 13 years ago, according to the tweet — the time when Satoshi Nakamoto’s shadow was still casting itself around, so to speak. The X post states that the tweet belongs to infamous early Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, which suffered from a major hack in the early 2010s, and last year it began paying out compensation to clients who lost their crypto in that hack. The deadline was eventually extended to October 2025. Mt. Gox’s wallet with 1,000 BTC reactivated The above-mentioned data source shared a screenshot from the Timechain Index explorer, showing multiple transactions marked as confirmed and moving a total of 1,000 Bitcoins. This amount of crypto is valued at $116,195,100 at the time of the initiated transaction. Last year, Mt. Gox began to move the remains of its gargantuan funds to pay out compensations to its creditors. Earlier this year, it also made several massive transactions to partner exchanges to distribute funds to Mt. Gox investors. All of the compensations were promised to be paid out by Oct. 31, 2025. The aforementioned transaction is likely preparation for another payout. The exchange was hacked for several years due to multiple unnoticed security breaches, and in 2014, when the site went offline, 744,408 Bitcoins were reported stolen.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps
The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
