Chilly weather
A push of bone-chilling air moving south down from Canada is sending temperatures in the US plummeting in its wake, with parts of the eastern US seeing a 30-degree temperature drop this week. Philadelphia and Washington, DC, climbed solidly into the 80s over the weekend but will struggle to make it out of the low 50s by later today, forecasts show. Portions of the West Coast and Florida will be the only areas of the contiguous US to avoid goosebumps on Halloween as the December-like air takes hold. Chilly air will persist across the northern tier of the US for much of the week, but the South and much of the central US will trend back toward normal before the weekend.

Artificial intelligence
The White House rolled out a sweeping executive order on Monday that aims to monitor and regulate the risks of artificial intelligence while also harnessing its potential. Among several measures, the order will require developers of powerful AI systems to share the results of their safety tests with the federal government before they are released to the public. If an AI model being developed poses national security, economic or health risks, the order will compel companies to notify the federal government for additional review. "We have to move fast, really fast — ideally faster than the technology itself," White House chief of staff Jeff Zients said, recounting President Joe Biden's directive to his team to make AI a top priority.
