A few years ago, automakers were preparing for an environment in which 40% to 50% of their vehicles would need to be electric by 2030. But then the Trump administration unwound key incentives and rules that had encouraged EV adoption, and consumer habits proved more stubborn than PowerPoint presentations had suggested.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">GM CEO Mary Barra, once bullish in forecasting that self-driving cars would arrive quickly, is more measured now. \u201cI\u2019m done making predictions,\u201d she told <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Fortune<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s shifted our mission,\u201d Barra said in an interview for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Fortune\u2019s<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> Titans podcast, surrounded by gleaming Cadillacs in a Manhattan showroom. \u201cWe still think EVs are the endgame.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">She is making one forecast, however: In 2028, GM will offer eyes-off-the-road highway driving on the Cadillac Escalade IQ, allowing drivers to take their hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals. \u201cAnd that will be the start of then getting to full autonomy,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>MORE FROM FORTUNE<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Return of Uber\u2019s Ousted Founder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> | Fortune Daily<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Billionaire George Soros has donated $102 million ahead of the midterms\u2014and now the Democrats are coming out ahead<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; Mia Osmonbekov<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">I study tribal psychology and build AI agents for my business students\u2014the rogue OpenAI \u2018swarm\u2019 alarmed me<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; Michael Morris<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u2018Europe needs to shed its naivety\u2019: Vestas CEO Henrik Andersen on Chinese competition and the energy issue that keeps him up at night<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; Sam Birchall<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Larry Fink on the lost \u2018bedrock of America\u2019 and \u2018a big divide\u2019 between wages and investment wealth<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; Nick Lichtenberg<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u2018You need to clean up the mess your generation has left\u2019: Volkswagen\u2019s guilty boomer gets real about sustainability, China\u2014and his spam folder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; Nick Lichtenberg<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>THE WAR ON AI<\/h3>\n<h2><b>How a John McPhee student turned GPTZero into a $30 million AI-detection business<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Edward Tian built GPTZero over winter break of his senior year at Princeton, in the disorienting weeks after ChatGPT went mainstream, and put it up on a free Streamlit hosting page. The site crashed within a week as 30,000 people flocked to a program that could tell you how much of a piece of online writing was produced by AI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Less than four years later, GPTZero has more than 20 million registered users, $30 million in annual recurring revenue, and a new parent company. Superhuman, the productivity company formerly known as Grammarly, agreed in June to acquire GPTZero for undisclosed terms. PitchBook data valued GPTZero at more than $88 million, but a source familiar with the matter said the deal represented at least a 10x return on the $13.5 million the company had raised in total.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>THE MARKETS<\/h3>\n<h2><b>Bond traders tap the brakes, stocks hit the gas<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Bond investors applied the brakes this morning, and prices rose globally, ending several days of sovereign debt selling that had pushed yields to levels last seen in the 1990s.

evidence<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">. As these charts from Deutsche Bank show, test scores in schools measured by the OECD show that academic achievement was on the decline before AI arrived, but after that it got even worse. The more students use AI, the lower grades they get.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cAI may be accelerating a fall that started with widespread smartphone diffusion from [circa] 2010,\u201d Deutsche\u2019s Adrian Cox said in a recent note.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>NUMBER OF THE DAY<\/h3>\n<h2><b>\u20ac91 million ($102 million)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The largest financial penalty ever handed out to a soccer club, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">per WinSportsOnline, a sports betting odds calculator<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">. The fine went to Chelsea F.C., which broke two financial rules in the 2024\/25 UEFA season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The implication is that Manchester City F.C. faces a far, far greater penalty, given that it has been <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">found guilty by the Premier League of 115 separate counts of financial cheating<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> over a years-long period. Notably, City was fined \u20ac60 million ($67 million) in 2014, also for breaking UEFA\u2019s financial rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>THE FRONT PAGES TODAY<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">U.S. urges Europe to \u2018immediately\u2019 release diesel reserves as Iran war fuels record prices<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; CNBC\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Nike Plans a Smaller Company as Sales Slide Deepens<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; WSJ<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">U.S. sent more Patriots to protect Saudi, Qatari energy sites<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; Axios<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Ex-HSBC banker banned for dodging \u00a35,900 in train fares<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; FT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">France\u2019s Troubles Are Deepening as Investors Head for the Exit<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> &#8211; Bloomberg<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Will CNN\u2019s New Owner Want to Change Everything?
