CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 10, 2026 /3BL/ - Truist Foundation today announced the launch of its fourth Inspire Awards , a capacity-building grant program for nonprofit organizations across the markets Truist Bank serves. This year’s challenge aligns to Truist Foundation’s focus on creating career pathways to economic mobility and aims to upskill adult workers navigating rapid technological change in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). The Inspire Awards Challenge is hosted in collaboration with Solve —an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), whose mission is to find and scale innovative solutions to global problems. From now until Aug. 7, 2026, qualifying nonprofits can submit applications through MIT Solve that answer this question: How are nonprofits providing innovative direct services, training programs, and career navigation supports for adult workers in the age of AI? “Artificial intelligence is transforming the way people learn, work and prepare for the future. We want to elevate organizations that are helping workers adapt with confidence and gain access to opportunities that support long term stability,” said Lynette Bell, head of Truist Philanthropy and president of Truist Foundation. “The Inspire Awards program continues to spotlight nonprofits that are innovating to create meaningful change for individuals, families and communities as the world around them rapidly evolves.” Truist Foundation and MIT Solve will provide a six-month support and development program for a cohort of six nonprofit finalists to help transform ideas into actions and help finalists strengthen and scale their solutions. The program includes a comprehensive needs assessment, learning and development modules to help refine business plans, access to a network of resource partners and coaches, and more. At the conclusion of the support program, all finalists will receive a grant to help implement their project. The first-place nonprofit will receive a $250,000 grant, second place will receive a $150,000 grant, and a $25,000 grant will be given to each runner-up team. New this year, a Community Choice Award will earn one finalist an additional $75,000 grant—regardless of their status as a first-place, second-place or runner-up grant recipient. “Nonprofits are helping workers adapt to a changing economy as AI reshapes every sector,” said Hala Hanna, executive director of MIT Solve. “Through our collaboration with Truist Foundation, we are elevating solutions that expand opportunity and ensure that workers across industries can thrive in the age of AI. The Inspire Awards creates a powerful space for innovators to test and scale ideas that meet the real needs of communities.” The Truist Foundation Inspire Awards has become known as a space where nonprofits share and refine approaches that respond to community priorities around key economic mobility issues. Past finalists have contributed new ideas for career navigation, broadened access to training and credentialing, and helped workers pursue skills aligned with an evolving economy. The 2026-2027 program aims to build on this momentum by identifying organizations that are addressing the challenges and opportunities created by AI and emerging technologies.

Oh Eun-young, associate professor of economics at Kookmin University’s KMU International Business School, has recently published two papers in internationally renowned journals examining the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on Korean industries and the labor market. The university said Wednesday that Oh’s research is noteworthy for analyzing both the productivity gains associated with AI adoption in industry and public perceptions of job displacement amid growing attention to generative AI as a new growth engine for Korea. It added that her studies empirically demonstrate that the impact of generative AI is not uniform across industries and occupations, but differs according to industrial structures and occupational characteristics. One of the two papers was published in February under the title, “Generative AI and Uneven Productivity Gains: The Political Economy of Sectoral Asymmetry in South Korea,” in the Journal of Information Technology & Politics. The other was published early this month under the title, “Who Fears ChatGPT? Perceptions of Occupational Rep

Washington, June 11 (IANS) A bipartisan congressional leader has accused China of attempting to exploit America's open political system after OpenAI disclosed that China-linked actors used ChatGPT to generate content aimed at influencing debates over US tariffs and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure.The findings were highlighted by Rep. John Moolenaar, Chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, who said the Chinese government was seeking to manipulate legitimate public discussions in the United States."There are legitimate questions about data centres, and Americans deserve answers as companies work to build the infrastructure we need for our nation's future. We are blessed to live in a free and open society where we can debate these topics," Moolenaar said."Unfortunately, the Chinese Communist Party exploits our openness and works to divide Americans through its United Front organisations and other entities. Its state-run media has published English-language articles overtly attempting to divide Americans on the construction of data centres, and some elements in China are attempting to do so by more disguised methods," he added.According to OpenAI's June 2026 threat report, the company banned two clusters of ChatGPT accounts "likely originating from China" after they used the platform to support what it described as covert influence operations targeting debates around American AI policy and technology competition.The first operation, dubbed the "Data Centre Bandwagon" campaign, generated social media comments and images claiming that AI data centres were driving up electricity prices for ordinary Americans, it said.OpenAI said the content was posted through likely inauthentic social media accounts and sought to amplify concerns about rising energy costs linked to AI infrastructure.The second operation, called the "Tech and Tariffs" campaign, produced comments and political cartoons criticising US tariffs and portraying Washington as seeking technological dominance. OpenAI said operators specifically instructed the system to depict only President Donald Trump and avoid references to Chinese President Xi Jinping.The report said some of the same networks also spread false claims that ChatGPT user data had been compromised. OpenAI stated that "These allegations were entirely false."OpenAI said the campaigns had little impact online. The company concluded that the social media efforts received "no authentic engagement" and found "no evidence of meaningful breakout beyond its own activity."Still, the company warned that the significance of the operations lay in the narratives being tested. It said the campaigns attempted to connect US technology policies with economic anxieties and public concerns, while inserting foreign actors into ongoing domestic debates over AI, energy costs and technological competition.Moolenaar said his committee would continue examining potential foreign influence efforts surrounding data centre development."My committee and I will continue to investigate potential Chinese malign influence in the data centre debate, and I hope all Americans involved in these debates will treat one another with respect," he said.The report comes as competition between the United States and China over artificial intelligence intensifies. Both countries are investing heavily in AI infrastructure, advanced computing capacity and next-generation technologies that are increasingly viewed as critical to economic growth and national security.

First in a planned series, delivered in partnership with Trident Corporation/Microsoft, Flash Health, Jetwing Hotels, and Jetwing Colombo Seven Technoli Institute of Digital Business held its AI-Powered Business Executive programme on Wednesday, 3 June 2026 at Jetwing Colombo Seven, where a room of senior managers and decision-makers built live AI agents and AI-powered mini-apps. The full-day programme moved beyond AI theory to applied work. Participants learned an executive mental model for making AI decisions, built intelligent automations, and worked through security, privacy, ethics, and the human-in-the-loop discipline that keeps AI safe to use in business. “Most leaders do not need to learn how to use every AI tool. They need a mental model for deciding when to trust AI and when to keep the decision human,” said Saminda Deshapriya, Founder and Managing Director of Technoli Institute of Digital Business. “That mental model is what turns curiosity into sound judgement.” The faculty comprised Saminda Deshapriya, an MIT-certified digital transformation professional; Sabilashan Ganeshan, an AI-native strategist; Sahan Indunil, a Microsoft AI Solutions Engineer at Trident Corporation; and Arshad Ameer, Co-Founder and CEO of Flash Health. Technology Partners were Trident Corporation/Microsoft, with Flash Health as Digital Healthcare Partner and Jetwing Hotels and Jetwing Colombo Seven as Hospitality Partner. The event was Technoli’s first public programme of its kind and the first in a planned series. It runs alongside the institute’s multi-week open cohorts and corporate in-house training. Programmes in AI transformation and strategy and in logistics and supply chain are in development, and an AI-Powered Business Analytics programme will launch soon.
