X tests AI bots for fact-checking Community Notes
Empower your mind, elevate your skills
Social media platform X has rolled out a pilot programme that lets artificial intelligence (AI) bots contribute to its Community Notes feature , a user-driven system for adding context to posts.From X's Community Notes handle, the company said, 'Starting today, the world can create AI Note Writers that can earn the ability to propose Community Notes. Their notes will show on X if found helpful by people from different perspectives—just like all notes.'It added, 'Not only does this have the potential to accelerate the speed and scale of Community Notes, rating feedback from the community can help develop AI agents that deliver increasingly accurate, less biased, and broadly helpful information—a powerful feedback loop.'Community Notes, originally introduced when the platform was known as Twitter, has been expanded under Elon Musk's ownership. It allows users to fact-check posts by adding extra context. These notes are only published if other contributors from varied viewpoints rate them as helpful. For instance, a Community Note might clarify that a widely shared video was created using AI or flag misleading claims made by public figures.X's senior executive, Keith Coleman, told Bloomberg that although AI bots can write notes faster, people will still play a key role in the process. 'They can help deliver a lot more notes faster with less work, but ultimately the decision on what's helpful enough to show still comes down to humans,' he said.• Sign up today and begin developing your AI Note Writer.• Start writing notes in test mode.• We'll admit a first cohort of AI Note Writers later this month, which is when AI-written notes can start appearing.

Trade diversification may help India tame US tariff impact
US President Donald Trump's decision to impose higher tariffs on Indian goods threatens to put $30-35 billion worth of exports to the United States at risk, a move that could shave almost a full percentage point off India's GDP growth over the next two years. Economists warn that the impact will be deep and widespread, hitting sectors already struggling with global demand uncertainties and forcing businesses to rethink their export strategies. The Narendra Modi government's response to the situation should reflect poise and pragmatism, not anger. Indian banks are increasing scrutiny of new loan applications from exporters by asking about exposure to the American market and contingency plans for coping with Trump's steep tariffs, as reported by Bloomberg. On the ground, stress is already visible. In Tamil Nadu's Tiruppur, the country's knitwear hub, exporters say orders are 'being paused, redirected, or lost entirely to competitors from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Cambodia, all of whom have lower US tariffs ranging between 19 per cent and 36 per cent,' according to a news report. The blow is no less severe in Surat, the world's diamond-cutting capital. Several companies were forced to halt processing orders for American clients that had already begun for the Christmas season. Trump's announcement of the additional 25 per cent tariff on diamonds from India came as a shock, particularly because the festive period—just five months away—accounts for nearly half of the annual international sales for many businesses. Industry experts predict that exports of non-industrial diamonds—those intended for jewellery or investment—will be particularly hard hit. According to the Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), India supplied 68 per cent of the US's total diamond imports by volume and 42 per cent by value ($5.79 billion) in 2024. Given such a dominant position, even a partial loss of market share could translate into billions in lost revenue and the potential shuttering of thousands of polishing and cutting units. The Modi government has sought to reassure exporters by promising measures to soften the impact of the new US tariffs. However, such pledges are easier made than fulfilled. Trade diversification to other markets may help in the medium term, but replacing the sheer scale and value of the US market will be challenging. Furthermore, the government's recent geopolitical tilt towards Russia and China—driven by political compulsions—risks complicating efforts to restore trade warmth with Washington. This strategic shift is particularly troubling. While engaging with multiple global partners is a sensible long-term objective, the US remains one of India's most significant economic partners, especially in high-value manufacturing, services, and technology. Deterioration in bilateral economic relations now will only magnify the damage from the tariffs. Rather than recalibrating India's foreign policy in ways that alienate Washington, a more prudent and pragmatic approach would be to prioritise repairing and deepening ties with the US. Doing so will require deft diplomacy, proactive engagement on trade disputes, and perhaps concessions in other areas of the bilateral agenda. India must make the case—both politically and economically—that it is a critical partner in global supply chains, especially as the US seeks to reduce dependence on China. If corrective action is delayed, the fallout will be felt not only in trade statistics but also in employment figures. That will make the situation worse.

Man Group's Japan Fund Buying Bank Stocks in Bet on Inflation
(Bloomberg) -- An investment manager at the world's largest publicly traded hedge fund, Man Group, is adding Japan's financial shares to her portfolio on the view the nation's central bank will need to hike interest rates to tame inflation. The relative stability in the yen also provides room for the Bank of Japan to act, according to Emily Badger, a co-manager of the Man Japan CoreAlpha Fund, which has £2.45 billion ($3.3 billion) of assets and outperformed 93% of its peers over the past three years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. 'Inflation is higher than last year, the yen-dollar is more stable than last summer,' said the UK-based portfolio manager. 'We have therefore taken the opportunity in the short term to increase our position in the bank sector slightly, as we think the path is clearly towards normalization.' While buying may be slight, the shift for the long-only fund is notable given that it was underweight Japan's financial sector at the start of the year. And back in late 2023, when investors were split on the fate of bank stocks ahead the BOJ ending negative interest rates, Badger among those who viewed the benefits of future tightening as already priced in. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda last month rebutted claims the central bank was behind the curve in raising interest rates, which tempered expectations of near-term hikes. Although the BOJ raised inflation forecasts at its last meeting that concluded on July 31, investors viewed the overall stance as dovish. Overnight index swaps now suggest a 55% chance for a hike by the end of the year, down from 79% before the July BOJ decision. Swaps had suggested 100% before US President Donald Trump's barrage of 'liberation day' tariff threats in early April. 'Once the trade situation and the political uncertainty die down, the policy rate will be pushed towards 1%.' said Badger. Badger describes the increase in her fund's bank holdings as 'very gradual,' adding that her larger positions remain in the auto sector and factory automation, where she anticipates a rally once there's more clarity on the US-Japan trade deal. She is hopeful further corporate governance improvements will boost Japanese stocks, which struck record highs this month but still lag their regional peers year to date. She said the next phase of corporate governance reforms will involve enhancement of longer-term profitability and growth. 'Because of that we think that long term Japanese equities remain an opportunity,' she said. More stories like this are available on
