According to Axios, Bill Gates plans to expand his campaign for tighter AI regulation by directly lobbying technology company leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and is considering raising significant funding, though the scale and format are not yet defined. Three years ago he said AI risks were real but controllable; by August 2026 he warned the world is not adequately prepared for the economic and social disruption AI could cause. In a related essay he proposed new regulatory bodies to coordinate AI policy, preserving some jobs for humans, and considering taxes on AI and robot use. The effort could clash with the Trump administration, which favors lighter-touch AI regulation and voluntary safety commitments.

- Meta Is Back in the AI Race. Muse Wonder Just Ranked #2 for Accounting, According to DualEntry Accounting AI Benchmark
Meta's new Muse Wonder model answered 83.2% of tasks correctly on the DualEntry Accounting AI Benchmark, tying for second place among 57 AI models tested. That is up from 61.4% for its predecessor, Muse Spark 1.1, and it ranks ahead of all OpenAI and Google models on the test, though Grok 4.5 scored higher at 84.2%. The model was strongest on financial reporting at 97% and bank reconciliation at 92%, but its errors clustered in routine transaction work such as some accounts receivable scenarios and month-end close journal entries. The benchmark uses 101 synthetic accounting cases scored against fixed reference answers with an 80% pass mark. DualEntry co-founder Benedict Dohmen said the model reads financial statements well but still slips on the receivables and journal entries beneath them.

- Mother returns as CEO, Cuong 'Do La' makes a notable move
Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhu Loan has just completed her sentence in the case over the illegal transfer of a 6,000 m² land plot at 39-39B Ben Van Don, and Quoc Cuong Gia Lai Joint Stock Company (QCG) has introduced her as its General Director.

As of June 30, liabilities fell from VND 3,999 billion to over VND 3,010 billion, but the payable to Sunny Island still stood at nearly VND 1,583 billion for the Bac Phuoc Kien project.
- India to overtake Japan as world fourth largest economy in 2027 : IMF projections
The IMF projects India will overtake Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy in 2027, behind the United States, China and Germany. Japan is forecast to grow just 0.7% in 2026, amid consumer price increases since spring 2022, higher energy costs linked to the Iran war, a weak yen and an ageing population. The IMF also welcomed India's revised GDP methodology as consistent with international best practice, though it said there was still room for improvement. The debate continues over India's 7.8% growth in the June quarter: former finance secretary S C Garg alleged the figure was artificially boosted by compressing the prior year's data, while Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran rejected the criticism as “cherry-picking”.
- IMF backs India revised GDP methodology, projects it to overtake Japan as 4th-largest economy in 2027
The IMF projects that India will become the world's fourth-largest economy in 2027, overtaking Japan, and endorsed India's revised GDP methodology as consistent with international best practice. Krishna Srinivasan, director of the IMF's Asia and Pacific Department, called the revision a welcome development and praised the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), while noting there is still room for improvement. The endorsement comes amid a row over the 7.8% growth in the June quarter, which former finance secretary S C Garg questioned, alleging the previous year's figures were compressed; Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran rejected this as cherry-picking. The IMF raised its 2026 growth forecast for India to 7%, while Japan is projected to grow just 0.7% amid energy costs, inflation and an ageing population, and will slip behind India and the UK in 2027.

Alphabet trades at 25.0x forward earnings, within its usual range, while Uber trades at 18.2x, a level analyst Walter Piecyk links to the threat from Waymo and Tesla's Robotaxi.
