Study Shows AI Hitting Paychecks, Not Payrolls (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Apollo Chief Economist Torsten Slok says early labor-market data suggest AI's first impact is appearing more in wages than employment. In a study of hundreds of occupations, Slok found that jobs with higher exposure to AI have seen weaker wage growth, while the employment effect remains relatively small. But the picture is still coming into focus: Slok says AI is also helping fuel record business formation, which could create new jobs and make the economy more dynamic. Former IBM HR chief Diane Gherson says companies are already deciding which work can be automated, which employees can be retrained and whether AI savings come through layoffs, slower hiring or reskilling.

Plus, Canada may have dodged Trump's newest tariffs, but the deal could leave lasting damage to USMCA, North American manufacturing and trust between two longtime allies. Later, who pays when the Colorado River can no longer meet the West's demand?

Rising demand for CPO, SiPh reshapes semiconductor testing (Digitimes)
|
|
|
As chip power consumption, transmission speed and architectural complexity increase, testing has shifted from being a final pre-shipment quality gate to an earlier stage in product development and ramp-to-volume, according to KPMG managing director Jesse Chen, who previously worked at IBM and in venture capital. That shift is making testing a critical factor in product verification, yield ramp and supply chain stability....
