According to reports from Yicai, the Ministry of Education and four other departments issued the "Artificial Intelligence + Education" Action Plan. It mentions improving the intelligence literacy and skills of a wide range of teachers. Standards for teachers' intelligence literacy will be established, clarifying the artificial intelligence literacy competencies that teachers should possess. Artificial intelligence literacy training will be conducted in a layered and categorized manner based on the needs of different positions, achieving full coverage through various methods. A contextual assessment system will be constructed, and intelligent, gradient assessment tools will be developed, encouraging schools and regions to carry out large-scale assessments of teacher literacy, and to enhance teachers' literacy and capabilities based on assessment results.Promote the reform of teacher training programs by incorporating knowledge of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence into the curriculum system, updating the knowledge system. Include artificial intelligence in the content of teacher qualification examinations and certifications, and establish intelligent education projects in national and provincial teaching achievement awards to stimulate the endogenous motivation for innovation in artificial intelligence.

During the 17th General Assembly of the China Artificial Intelligence Industry Development Alliance, the Security Governance Committee of the China Artificial Intelligence Industry Development Alliance officially released the "Risk Management Guidelines for Deploying OpenClaw-like Intelligent Agents."To systematically address the security challenges posed by OpenClaw-like intelligent agents, the guidelines focus on the pain points of risk prevention and control that enterprises face during the technology implementation process. They propose a comprehensive security deployment framework and self-inspection standards covering the entire process of deployment, usage, and offline phases, aiming to promote the transition of intelligent agents from "deployable" to "safely deployed, regulated use, and continuous governance," providing practical guidance for enterprises to standardize their technology deployment.

The South Korean court ruled on the administrative lawsuit filed by Upbit operator Dunamu against the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), deciding to revoke the previous three-month partial business suspension. The court stated that, in the absence of clear enforcement guidelines from the regulatory agency, Dunamu had taken measures, including customer commitment letters and internal monitoring, to fulfill its reasonable obligations.Although there is still controversy over whether the relevant measures are sufficient to completely block transactions with unreported operators, they are not enough to support the previous penalty decision.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) reveals his past with FTX founder SBF in his new book "Binance Life."In the summer of 2019, just a month after FTX launched, SBF actively sought investment. At that time, Binance CFO Zhou Wei supported the investment, and CZ ultimately decided to invest after FTX's valuation was lowered and a proposal to exchange BNB for FTT was made. However, after the investment, SBF poached Binance's VIP client manager with a fivefold salary, taking all VIP client information, which led to clients receiving targeted offers from FTX.CZ pointed out that SBF appeared to have high emotional intelligence and promoted "effective altruism," yet shortly after the investment, he was speaking ill of Binance all over Washington. In 2021, there were reports that FTX executives had close ties with politically connected Michelle Bond, promoting FTX while belittling Binance. Additionally, friends confirmed that SBF had publicly slandered Binance at closed-door gatherings. CZ had asked SBF to stop poaching, and while SBF verbally agreed, he continued to recruit with high salaries.

The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government published an essay reviewing the economy of the first quarter of 2026, mentioning that the Hong Kong market is active, with an average daily trading volume exceeding HKD 260 billion in the first two months of this year, a year-on-year increase of 17%. As March began, the market became even more active, with the average daily trading volume of Hong Kong stocks exceeding HKD 300 billion, an increase of over 8% compared to the same period last year. Investors are increasing their asset allocation in Hong Kong, viewing it not only as a reliable safe haven for capital but also due to the stable growth of the mainland economy and the listing of a large number of quality enterprises in Hong Kong, providing ample investment opportunities.At the same time, global competition in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence has entered a heated stage, requiring substantial financial support for everything from tackling core technologies, developing upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, to exploring broader application scenarios. The Hong Kong listing platform is playing a key role in this regard, with the IPO market continuing its strong performance from last year in the first quarter of this year. As of March 27, the fundraising amount has exceeded HKD 103 billion, ranking first globally; including follow-up financing, the total fundraising scale is approximately HKD 237 billion. More and more companies listing in Hong Kong belong to emerging industries—artificial intelligence, semiconductors, robotics, autonomous driving, biotechnology, etc. Currently, there are over 500 applications waiting to list in Hong Kong. More enterprises view Hong Kong as an important window for financing and overseas development.
