🏫 Alaska Topped State and Local Funding Per K-12 Student  

In 2024, Alaska led US states in federal funding for K-12 public education at $4.4K per student. High per student allocations often reflect geographic challenges, smaller populations, and greater reliance on federal support in rural and remote areas. Such funding is critical for ensuring equitable access to education, particularly where state and local revenues fall short. The US Department of Education’s Title I program continues to direct resources toward underserved schools and communities nationwide.

⚕️ Cybersecurity Among Top Concerns for Healthcare Executives

In 2025, 78% of healthcare executives reported plans to enhance cybersecurity, making it the top strategic priority. Significant focus is also placed on transformative technologies, underscoring the sector’s dual push for innovation and resilience. The growing reliance on virtual care and consumer centered services reflects shifting patient expectations and digital health adoption. Policies such as the HITECH Act in the US continue to guide investment in health IT security and interoperability.

🤖 At Least 70% of Companies Used AI Globally

In 2024, three-quarters of companies worldwide reported using AI, with adoption reaching 85% in North America and 82% in Europe. The figures highlight AI’s role as a mainstream driver of efficiency and competitiveness across industries. Growing uptake in developing markets signals accelerating digital transformation, despite infrastructure gaps. Regulatory frameworks such as the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act, adopted in 2024, aim to ensure responsible use while supporting continued business integration.
