The companies building the most powerful artificial intelligence systems are making an unusual request: they want governments to set rules for their industry. For executives accustomed to watching technology companies resist oversight, the appeal sounds almost contradictory. Why would a business racing for customers, capital and market share invite regulators into the room?

The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point on Wednesday, bringing its target range to 3.75% to 4%. The decision came less than two weeks after an August jobs report showed 162,000 new payroll jobs and an unemployment rate holding at 4.1%.

Financial freedom is one of the most powerful tools for creating long-term stability, opportunity, and generational advancement. For Hispanics in the United States—one of the fastest-growing and most entrepreneurial groups—stock market investing remains one of the most underutilized wealth-building strategies.
