Happy Monday! AI is taking to the skies and helping students with homework. Let’s check it out together. 🙂

🛠️ NEW AI TOOLS 🛠️
What’s going on? The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a new program called SMART that uses AI to predict air traffic congestion up to two hours before it happens, in hopes of reducing flight delays.
How will this work? SMART stands for Strategic Management of Airspace Routing Trajectories. The idea is to help air traffic controllers see trouble coming before delays spiral out of control. By analyzing flight paths, traffic patterns, and likely pressure points, the AI can flag where congestion or conflicts may develop 90 minutes to two hours in advance. That gives controllers more time to reroute flights or adjust plans early instead of reacting after the system is already backed up. The FAA has been explicit that the AI will support human decision-making, not replace it.
Why should you care? It seems like every flight gets delayed these days. Flight delays spread fast, especially at busy airports, and old systems make that worse. If SMART works, it could mean fewer delays, smoother travel, and a more modern air traffic system overall.

What’s up? Chegg, once a booming online homework company worth nearly $15 billion, has become one of the clearest examples of a business being crushed by generative AI.
Want the details? Chegg built its business by charging students a monthly fee for homework help, study tools, and expert answers. That worked well for years, especially during the pandemic, when online learning surged. But then tools like ChatGPT and Claude started giving students fast, free answers in seconds. Chegg tried to respond by launching its own AI assistant, called CheggMate, using its homework data, but it did not turn things around. The company then cut hundreds of jobs, and its stock collapsed from $115 in 2021 to about $1.
Why should you care? Chegg’s story shows how quickly AI can destroy a business when the product becomes easy to get elsewhere for free. It is a warning to companies everywhere: if AI can copy your core service faster, cheaper, and more conveniently, your entire business model may be at risk.
