to push companies to develop AI systems
that are "secure by design" from rogue actors.
18 countries agreed in a 20-page document that
companies need to deploy AI products that
keep customers and the public safe from misuse.
This is the first time that we
have seen an affirmation that these
capabilities should not just be about
cool features and how quickly
we can get them to market or how
we can compete to drive down costs, Jen Easterly, Director of the U.S. Cybersecurity
and Infrastructure Security Agency, via NBC.
Jen Easterly, the director of the U.S. Cybersecurity
and Infrastructure Security Agency, said , "the most important thing that needs to
be done at the design phase is security.”.
Signatories of the non-binding agreement include the U.S.,
Britain, Germany, Italy, Estonia, Poland, Australia, Chile,
Israel, Nigeria, Singapore and the Czech Republic.

New Analysis Suggests , Long-Term Effectiveness , for Wegovy Users .
NBC reports that patients taking
Novo Nordisk's obesity treatment maintain
an average of 10% weight loss over four years.
The news potentially boosts the
drugmaker's push for Wegovy to be
covered by insurers and governments. .
The company submitted long-term
findings at the European Congress
on Obesity in Venice, Italy. .
This is the longest study
we’ve conducted so far of
semaglutide for weight loss, Martin Holst Lange, Novo’s head of development, via NBC.
We see that once the majority
of the weight loss is accrued,
you don’t go back and start
to increase in weight
if you stay on the drug, Martin Holst Lange, Novo’s head of development, via NBC.
According to another analysis published by
the drugmaker, approximately 17% of trial participants stopped using the treatment
due to side effects like nausea. .
The costly treatment ranges from $200
to nearly $2,000 per month in the ten
countries where the drug is available.
NBC reports that Novo Nordisk was the
first drugmaker to market GLP-1 agonists,
originally developed as a diabetes treatment,
to address record high obesity rates.

Red Lobster Announces, Nearly 100 Locations , Will Be Shut Down.
NBC reports that approximately 99 Red Lobster locations
will be auctioned off as the seafood chain faces
questions regarding the company's long-term future.
Founder and CEO of the liquidation firm TAGeX Brands,

about 15% of the company's 700 locations. .

restaurant in the U.S. has struggled with debt,
unfavorable leases and executive turnover.

strategies like an all-you-can-eat-shrimp promotion
in 2023 that resulted in a significant loss.
Earlier in 2024, the chain's largest investor,
Thai Union, announced that it would
seek to exit its position. .

sustained industry headwinds, higher
interest rates and rising material and
labor costs have impacted Red Lobster,
resulting in prolonged negative
financial contributions to
Thai Union and its shareholders, Thiraphong Chansiri, Thai Union Group’s CEO, via NBC.
After detailed analysis, we have
determined that Red Lobster’s
ongoing financial requirements
no longer align with our capital
allocation priorities and
therefore are pursuing an exit
of our minority investment, Thiraphong Chansiri, Thai Union Group’s CEO, via NBC

In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
House Republicans were provided a
transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, but they wanted the audio, which the DOJ denied.
As a result, House Republicans were
moving to hold Attorney General
Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
On May 16, the Department of Justice told House Republicans that the president asserted executive privilege over audio from his interview with the special counsel.
The move protects Garland from criminal exposure as GOP lawmakers seek to hold him accountable.
Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte
explained the DOJ's actions in a letter.
The Attorney General must draw a line
that safeguards the Department from
improper political influence and protects
our principles, our law enforcement work,
and the people who carry out that work
independently, without fear or favor, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
The Committees seek to hold the
Attorney General in contempt
not for failing in his duties,
but for upholding them, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
With the information you now have,
the Committees ought not to proceed
with contempt and should instead avoid
unnecessary and unwarranted conflict, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
White House Counsel Ed Siskel also wrote a letter supporting the assertion of executive privilege. .
The absence of a legitimate need
for the audio recordings lays bare
your likely goal—to chop them up,
distort them, and use them for
partisan political purposes, White House Counsel Ed Siskel, via letter

According to a report by The Institute for Public Policy
Research (IPPR), younger workers, women and lower-
wage workers stand to lose the most to AI automation.
The IPPR's report found that entry-level, part-time
and administrative jobs face the highest risk of
being replaced by AI in a "worst-case scenario.".
Over the next three to five years, the thinktank
warns that more companies will use generative AI
technology to automate everyday workplace tasks.
The IPPR found that 11% of tasks currently
done by workers are at risk.
This includes database management, scheduling and
stocktaking, which could displace entry-level workers in the
secretarial, administrative and customer service sectors.

stocktaking, which could displace entry-level workers in the

The IPPR warns that the number
could increase to 59% of tasks in a
second wave if AI technology is developed
to handle more and more complex tasks. .
The second wave could impact higher-earning jobs
that involve less routine tasks surrounding database
creation, copywriting and graphic design. .
The IPPR warns that women , "are more likely to work in the most
exposed occupations, such as secretarial
and administrative occupations.".
According to the report, the worst-case
scenario for the second wave of AI could impact
7.9 million jobs, which would negate productivity
gains with zero growth in GDP for up to five years.
