Why does President Trump want to host the G20 summit at his Miami resort and what are the ethical concerns?
Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump wants to host next year's G twenty summit of world leaders at a resort he owns in Miami. He tried to do something like that in his first term, but it generated so much controversy Trump changed course, as MPR's Tamara Keith reports.
Trump says everyone wants the G twenty summit to be held at his Florida golf resort because the location is perfect.
They'll have their own buildings, so it it'll be incredible for them. And being Like ten minutes, less than ten minutes from the airport. And it's a big airport international. All of the plans will be able to land go right into there.
What is the controversy behind renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War?
Trump insists he will make no money on it. During his first term, even Republicans push back on the prospect that Trump could personally profit as countries paid for lodging at an international summit. As for this year's G twenty in South Africa, Trump confirmed he isn't going and ascending the vice president in his place. Tamar Keith, NPR News, the White House.
President Trump says his executive order renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War is about winning. The move would restore the name the Pentagon held until after World War II. The change requires congressional approval. Seven months into President Trump's second term in office, new jobs data from the Labor Department show the U.S. economy added twenty-two thousand jobs in August, and the unemployment rate rose to four point three percent.
How are the latest job numbers and unemployment rate reflecting the current U.S. economy under Trump?
The hiring falls short of expectations by economists like Justin Wolfers at the University of Michigan.
There were a bunch of policies that were getting a lot of people in the business community very unhappy. And the puzzle was why did the economic data still look like it was doing okay? And uh today we got the resolution to that puzzle, which is the reality is the economy slowed.
Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erica McIntarfer at the White House, the Trump administration said it could be a year before the economy sees better job numbers. The Health and Human Services Department responding to word that it plans to cite use of Tylenol by pregnant women as having links to autism, even though scientific research does not back up that claim. Here's NPR's Yuki no Gucci.
An upcoming report will suggest acetamineophyn, known to many as Tylenol, is linked to autism and that folic acid, a vitamin, could prevent it, according to a story in the Wall Street Journal. When asked about the upcoming report, a spokesperson for the HHS said, quote, until we release the final report, any claims about its contents are nothing more than speculation, end quote.
Why is the Health and Human Services Department facing criticism over alleged Tylenol‑autism links?
Robert F. Kennedy junior, the controversial head of HHS, has repeated falsehoods about the causes of autism. The Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine says acetominophyn is safe for pregnant women and that untreated pain and fever in pregnancy can be dangerous. Yukinaguchi NPR News.
And you're listening to NPR News. Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has settled a class action lawsuit brought by a group of book authors for one point five billion dollars. The suit claimed Anthropic used copyrighted material without permission to train its chat bots, as in Pierre's Bobby Allen reports.
A federal judge found that when Anthropic's Claude Chapbot trained on copyrighted books, it was legal under fair use law since the output was transformative. But the judge also ruled that when Claude ingested material from databases of pirated books, it did violate copyright law.
How did Anthropic’s $1.5 billion settlement resolve the AI copyright lawsuit and what does it mean for the industry?
Anthropic agreeing to pay authors and publishers $1.5 billion is what the author's legal team says is the largest ever copyright settlement. It amounts to about three thousand dollars for each of an estimated five hundred thousand books covered by the case. The payout represents the first resolution in a wave of lawsuits at the center of a debate of whether the AI industry broke laws in quickly building powerful chatbots using the works of millions of authors, publishers, and journalists.
