Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has recalled over 132,914 Lincoln Aviator SUVs over window bar and C-pillar issues.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/f">F stock here</a>.
What Happened: The defect applies to Aviator SUVs made between 2020 to 2025, an official filing with the NHTSA or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed on June 17, 2025.
"The rear door window bars and C-pillar trim may have insufficient adhesive bonding, which can allow the trim to detach from the vehicle," the filing by the NHTSA said.

The affected models would be recalled and fixed by the dealer free of charge, the regulator shared in its filing.
Why It Matters: This is another one in multiple recalls issued by the Detroit-based automakers in recent times. Earlier, the company also issued a recall for the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46012477/ford-recalls-over-197000-vehicles-for-backseat-issue-that-could-trap-occupants-in-emergency-situations"> Ford Mustang Mach-E</a> for a rear door issue, which could trap occupants inside the EV.
Ford also issued separate recalls for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739688/ford-recalls-over-29500-f-150-lightning-pickup-trucks-over-suspension-defect">F-150 Lightning</a> all-electric pickup truck over a suspension issue, as well as recalling over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45643704/ford-recalls-11-million-vehicles-for-camera-software-issue-report">1.1 million vehicles</a>, including the Bronco and the Edge, over camera software issues.

"Ford intends to match the cost structure of leading Chinese players," Ford's VP for EVs Systems and Platform Programs, Lisa Drake, had said.

Klotho Neuroscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: KLTO), a US-based biogenetics company developing cell and gene- based treatments to address neurological conditions, including ALS, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Parkinson's Disease (PD), has announced that it is partnering with Drs. Makoto Suzuki, Craig and Bradley Willcox, Richard Allsopp, and Michio Shimabukuro of the Okinawa Research Center for Longevity Science (ORCLS), as part of its research program on Okinawa, Japan, where a comparatively high number people live extremely long and healthy lives, many reaching 100 years and more.
&nbsp;
Okinawa is the original Blue Zone, validated by nearly five decades of groundbreaking research by ORCLS, which led to the discovery of other "longevity hotspots" - areas of the world with high concentrations of where people live to exceptional ages, extending not only their lifespans but their healthspans. KLTO has preliminary data from ORCLS suggesting the human alpha-Klotho gene and its secreted alpha-Klotho protein isoform (s-KL) may contribute to healthy longevity and lifespan. As we grow old, α-Klotho blood and tissue levels decrease. The decrease in tissue levels precedes the onset of multiple pathologies and diseases of human organ systems. Importantly, replenishing the s-KL levels using gene therapy may help protect against neurodegenerative disorders, muscle loss, bone loss and heart, liver and kidney disfunction associated with aging.

Israel accused Iran of violating the U.S.-brokered ceasefire Tuesday after detecting missile launches from Iranian territory, with Defense Minister Israel Katz ordering &#8220;high-intensity strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.&#8221;
What Happened: The accusation came hours after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social at 1:08 AM EST, declaring &#8220;The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!&#8221; 
Trump had announced a &#8220;complete and total ceasefire&#8221; between the nations Monday, outlining a phased timeline where Iran would initiate a 12-hour ceasefire six hours after his announcement, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46067020/trump-declares-israel-iran-ceasefire-now-in-effect-as-china-warns-of-spiraling-escalation-at-un">followed by Israel 12 hours later</a>.
Katz said the Israeli military would respond to &#8220;Iran&#8217;s blatant violation of the ceasefire declared by the President of the United States through the launch of missiles toward Israel,&#8221; Reuters reported. However, Iranian state media denied reports of any missile attack, according to state television.
The dispute follows Monday&#8217;s Israeli airstrikes on Tehran, including Iran&#8217;s Evin prison. Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir confirmed casualties in the prison&#8217;s administrative building, stating, &#8220;we had martyrs as well but the number is not yet defined.&#8221; The facility houses political prisoners and foreign nationals, prompting France to accuse Israel of endangering two French citizens, according to the Reuters report.

Why It Matters: Markets initially rallied on ceasefire news, with Dow futures jumping 200 points to 43,136. However, energy sectors declined sharply as oil prices fell 12.83% from last week&#8217;s $78.74 peak to $68.63 per barrel. United States Oil Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) dropped 11.0% while SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) fell 5.69%.
The tensions escalated after U.S. B-2 bombers from Northrop Grumman Corp. struck three Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday, targeting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46067020/trump-declares-israel-iran-ceasefire-now-in-effect-as-china-warns-of-spiraling-escalation-at-un">Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan sites in a 36-hour mission</a>.

Israel Says Iran Broke Trump Ceasefire, Orders 'High-Intensity Strikes' On Tehran

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday eliminated judicial restrictions on the Trump administration&#8217;s controversial third-country deportation program, allowing the government to resume sending migrants to nations other than their home countries without mandatory due process hearings. 
What Happened: The unsigned 6-3 decision marks a significant legal victory for President Donald Trump&#8216;s mass deportation initiative, which has already strained federal budgets and impacted labor-intensive sectors, Reuters reported.
The court lifted Boston-based U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy&#8217;s April 18 order that required migrants facing third-country deportation receive a &#8220;meaningful opportunity&#8221; to demonstrate potential torture risks at their destination. 
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by liberal justices, called the majority decision a &#8220;gross abuse&#8221; of judicial power, warning that &#8220;thousands will suffer violence in far-flung locales.&#8221;
The ruling comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces a $1 billion budget shortfall with three months remaining in the fiscal year, according to recent reports. ICE&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967200/ice-could-run-out-of-money-in-weeks-trumps-immigration-push-now-threatens-to-break-the-budget-report">current arrest quota of 3,000 daily immigrants</a>, up from 1,000 under previous guidance, has pushed detention facilities beyond their 41,000-bed capacity. 
The Department of Homeland Security has reallocated nearly $500 million to immigration operations but requires an additional $2 billion by September to avoid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967200/ice-could-run-out-of-money-in-weeks-trumps-immigration-push-now-threatens-to-break-the-budget-report">violating federal spending laws</a>.

Why It Matters: Recent ICE workplace raids have targeted labor-intensive sectors including agriculture, hospitality and retail operations. Home Depot Inc. stores faced enforcement actions in California, while the administration reversed guidance that had temporarily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45966899/ice-raids-return-to-farms-hotels-and-restaurants-as-dhs-reverses-course-escalating-trumps-crackdown-on-illegal-immigration-report">paused raids on farms, hotels and restaurants</a>.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the court&#8217;s decision &#8220;reaffirms the president&#8217;s authority to remove criminal illegal aliens&#8221; and advance public safety objectives. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin responded with &#8220;Fire up the deportation planes.&#8221;
Immigration enforcement has prompted widespread protests across Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle, leading to the deployment of over 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to California. This marks the first federal National Guard activation without <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45966899/ice-raids-return-to-farms-hotels-and-restaurants-as-dhs-reverses-course-escalating-trumps-crackdown-on-illegal-immigration-report">gubernatorial consent since 1965</a>.

Trump's Deportation Flights Get Supreme Court Greenlight: DHS Says 'Fire Up The…Planes' Amid ICE Budget Crisis, Nationwide Protests

BlackRock, in its latest note, highlighted the defense sector as a prime investment opportunity, driven by accelerating geopolitical fragmentation and a global emphasis on national security.
What Happened: The financial giant is sharpening its focus on specific regions and technologies, with a strong preference for the United States.
According to BlackRock, the U.S. stands out due to its substantial defense expenditure, which, as SIPRI data indicates, &#8220;spends more than double on defense than Europe.&#8221;
Furthermore, the U.S. is home to the most sophisticated defense and defense technology firms, serving as a key supplier for critical systems like air and missile defense for many nations.
Within the defense sector, BlackRock highlights significant prospects in defense tech. This broad category encompasses not only artificial intelligence (AI) and software companies but also essential IT services and hardware, such as semiconductors, that power advanced defense capabilities.
The firm anticipates that numerous private defense tech companies could launch initial public offerings (IPOs) in the coming years, offering public market investors new avenues into this expanding theme. Space tech is another area of interest, expected to benefit from intensifying strategic competition.
BlackRock notes that &#8220;growing geopolitical fragmentation and strategic competition in AI are reinforcing the global focus on national security and resilience – creating opportunities in defense.&#8221; This underscores a selective approach to defense investments, where technological superiority and robust national security infrastructure are becoming paramount.
Here&#8217;s a list of some defense and defense tech stocks and global exchange-traded funds that investors could consider.

Why It Matters: The futures of the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 indices rose on Tuesday as the investors overlooked a significant surge in Middle East tensions, triggered by Iran's missile attacks on U.S. military bases in Qatar and Iraq, which occurred just 48 hours following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Donald Trump shared a post on Truth Social on Monday, announcing a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46066239/dow-futures-jump-over-200-points-as-trump-announces-ceasefire-but-iran-says-no-agreement-crude-plunges">Complete and Total CEASEFIRE</a>," at which point, he says, "THE 12 DAY WAR" will be considered "ended." 
However, the Foreign Minister of Iran, Syed Abbas Araghchi, refuted claims of a ceasefire, saying that there was "no agreement" for cessation of military operations, in a post on X.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Two U.S. lawmakers are being called out after disclosing their stock purchases involving defense contractor L3Harris Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>), in the lead up to conflict with Iran, while serving on the Congressional Armed Services Committee.
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker, which tracks the trades made by politicians, highlighted one such trading disclosure in recent weeks, involving Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) and Rep. Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.).
The post sheds light on the fact that these two lawmakers, who serve on Armed Services Committees in Congress, have bought shares of L3Harris over the past month, in the lead up to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46065102/trump-says-there-is-a-ceasefire-between-isreal-and-iran">conflict between Israel and Iran</a>, in which the U.S. played a significant role.

&#8220;This shouldn't be legal,&#8221; the post says, given the deep ties that contractors such as L3Harris, which sells weapons systems and classified communications infrastructure, have with the government.

Why It Matters: Just recently, the same account reported on three Congressional representatives purchasing shares of IDEXX Laboratories Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDXX#NASDAQ">IDXX</a>) while serving on a committee that was directly tied to the &#8220;National Biotech Initiative Act of 2025,&#8221; which was expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45880762/three-lawmakers-bought-this-biotech-stock-before-supporting-a-bill-that-could-boost-its-value-its-now-up-44">create substantial tailwinds</a> for the company.
This comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44831847/justin-wolfers-when-tweets-move-markets-lawmakers-trading-stocks-is-simply-absurd">growing calls for a ban</a> on Congressional stock trading, with economist Justin Wolfers calling it &#8220;simply absurd&#8221; that representatives are allowed to trade stocks while regularly receiving &#8220;top secret briefings&#8221; and information.
The outsized gains reported in the private portfolios of political leaders have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for instance, has famously outperformed several leading hedge funds, with gains of 65% in 2023 and 54% in 2024.
Her performance, however, pales in comparison to those of her colleagues, who&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45880762/three-lawmakers-bought-this-biotech-stock-before-supporting-a-bill-that-could-boost-its-value-its-now-up-44">returned 70% to 149%</a> over the past year, fueling concerns regarding a conflict of interest.
Price Action: Shares of L3Harris were up 0.58% on Monday, trading at $251.11, but are down 1.64% after hours, following the de-escalation of tensions between Iran and Israel.

Two US Lawmakers On The Armed Services Committee Quietly Snapped Up L3Harris Shares Leading Up To Iran Tensions: 'This Shouldn't Be Legal'

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) successfully launched its second batch of Kuiper satellites, heightening the rivalry with Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX.
What Happened: On Monday, 27 new Kuiper satellites were launched into low Earth orbit, furthering Amazon&#8217;s ambitious Project Kuiper, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/23/amazon-kuiper-satellites-musk-starlink.html">CNBC</a> reported. The launch was conducted by a United Launch Alliance rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This mission had been postponed twice due to unfavorable weather conditions and a rocket booster issue. The new satellites add to the 27 Kuiper satellites Amazon successfully launched in April, marking the early phase of the company's planned 3,236-satellite constellation.
&#8220;We have ignition and lift&nbsp;off of United Launch Alliance&nbsp;Atlas V rocket carrying satellites&nbsp;for Amazon&#8217;s Project Kuiper internet&nbsp;constellation, continuing a new chapter&nbsp;in low Earth orbit satellite&nbsp;connectivity,&#8221; announced&nbsp;Ben Chilton, an ordnance engineer&nbsp;at ULA, during the livestream.
Founded by Jeff Bezos, Amazon is directly competing with SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink, which currently leads the market with 8,000 satellites in orbit. The Federal Communications Commission has issued a deadline to Amazon&nbsp;to launch half of its total constellation, i.e.,&nbsp;1,618 satellites, by July 2026.
The company has secured more than 80 launch agreements with multiple providers, including SpaceX, to deploy its Kuiper satellites into orbit.

Why It Matters: Amazon&#8217;s entry into the satellite internet market in April 2025 marked the beginning of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/45058299/elon-musks-starlink-empire-gets-new-challenger-in-shape-of-jeff-bezos-amazon-project-kuiper-deploys-first-operational-satellites">high-stakes</a> battle with SpaceX. The launch of the first operational satellites for its ambitious Project Kuiper signaled Amazon&#8217;s intent to challenge Starlink&#8217;s dominance.
Moreover, Amazon has been actively retraining its warehouse workers for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46012441/amazon-retrains-warehouse-workers-for-satellite-jobs-it-really-is-life-changing-says-project-kuiper-technician">satellite jobs</a>, as part of its upskilling initiative. This move is transforming the company&#8217;s workforce and contributing to the emergence of Washington state as the nation's commercial space hub.

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has delivered a scathing critique of Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) innovation prospects during an episode of the All-In podcast, bluntly stating the tech giant has no "chance of anything" when it comes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45831001/wwdc-2025-not-expected-to-have-any-major-ai-breakthroughs-but-apple-analyst-says-watch-out-for-these-3-key-points">future breakthroughs</a>.
What Happened: During a discussion on the All-In podcast last week, Jason Calacanis asked the panel what Apple could pursue next — AI, wearables, smart glasses, or something unexpected.
Chamath Palihapitiya didn't mince words. "I don't think they have any chance of anything," he replied flatly.&nbsp;
He pointed to a revenue chart showing Apple's heavy dependence on iPhone sales and accused the company of relying on minor product updates — such as changing charging cables — to generate incremental revenue.

"A company that focuses on this kind of revenue growth is not capable of creating something that&#8217;s exceptionally unexpected," Chamath said. "That will come from a new company, who has no ties to the past, has no nostalgia, on the fact that we&#8217;re gonna swap out the connector type and book another billion dollars."
He added that internal culture at Apple, where even AirPods revenue dwarfs OpenAI, likely leads to dismissive attitudes that stifle bold new ideas.
Thomas Laffont, co-founder of Coatue, pushed back slightly, crediting Apple for successfully pivoting from hardware to recurring revenue—but acknowledged that the next transition, likely toward AI, may be far harder.

What's Next For Apple — Chamath Palihapitiya Fires Back: 'Don't Think They Have Any Chance Of Anything,' Dismisses Glasses And AI Hopes

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) faces a wrongful death lawsuit filed in a federal court in New Jersey's Camden over a 2024 crash involving a Tesla Model S that claimed three lives.
What Happened: The lawsuit, filed by the estates of the three victims David and Michele Dryerman, both 54, and their daughter Brooke, 17, alleges the crash, which took place on New Jersey's Garden State Parkway, happened due to the Model S's "defective and unreasonably dangerous design," Reuters reported on Monday.
The plaintiffs, who include the family's elder son Max Dryerman, seek an unspecified amount in compensatory damages, the report suggests.
The crash took place on September 14, 2024, when the Dryermans were on their way home from a music festival when their Tesla Model S ran off the road. All the victims were wearing seatbelts.
"Thousands of Tesla drivers have relied on Tesla&#8217;s ADAS technology as though it were capable of safe, fully autonomous self-driving with minor software updates when in fact it is incapable of safely handling a variety of routine roadway scenarios without driver input," the complaint cited in the report said.
Why It Matters: The lawsuit comes as Tesla is also under scrutiny from NHTSA for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46067027/tesla-robotaxi-faces-nhtsa-scrutiny-over-traffic-violations-during-austin-launch">possible traffic violations</a> during Sunday's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46045542/tesla-launches-robotaxi-in-austin-elon-musk-calls-it-a-culmination-of-a-decade-of-hard-work">much-awaited Robotaxi launch</a> in Austin, which was a limited rollout with 10 Tesla Model Ys in an invite-only event.
However, Tesla also sought to keep its responses to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46066530/tesla-wants-to-keep-its-texas-self-driving-data-private-amid-austin-robotaxi-launch-report">separate NHTSA inquiry</a> about the FSD or Full-Self Driving tech's performance in poor weather conditions private, as Elon Musk's EV giant cited concerns regarding confidential information regarding the workings of its system being used by competitors.
Tesla's FSD tech has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45945298/tesla-model-3-on-fsd-mode-struck-by-train-after-getting-trapped-on-railroad-tracks-report">raised concerns</a> over its safety, as two incidents involving Tesla vehicles in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45991698/tesla-cybertruck-caught-driving-in-wrong-lane-on-fsd-just-days-before-robotaxi-launch">self-driving mode</a> involved instances where the occupants' safety was threatened.

Elon Musk's Tesla Faces Wrongful Death Lawsuit Over Model S Crash Which Claimed 3 Lives: Plaintiffs Call Car's Design 'Defective And Unreasonably Dangerous'

U.S. Senator&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass) has reportedly confronted Secretary of State&nbsp;Marco Rubio&nbsp;about a proposal to redirect&nbsp;$500 million from USAID to the&nbsp;disputed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
What Happened: Warren, in a letter to Rubio and USAID&#8217;s acting administrator, Kenneth Jackson, expressed concerns about the GHF, an organization that identifies itself as a humanitarian aid group, supported by both the Israeli and U.S. governments, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/20/elizabeth-warren-marco-rubio-gaza-humanitarian-foundation">reported</a> The Guardian on Friday.
She pointed out that the GHF differs from traditional humanitarian organizations and raised concerns about its sources of funding, ties to the Trump Administration, reliance on private contractors and capacity to function as a neutral entity.
The White House did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
According to the publication, Warren requested clarification by July 2 on whether USAID is evaluating the allocation of any funds to the GHF, the terms of any potential agreement, and the nature of GHF's ties to the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). BCG is said to have assisted in setting up the GHF&#8217;s operations, but later withdrew its support following a scandal involving the GHF.
The GHF has faced setbacks, including being avoided by major aid groups and temporarily closing some food distribution centers due to security concerns. Former executive director Jake Wood resigned last month, citing challenges in maintaining the organization's independence from political influence.

Why It Matters: The GHF has been under scrutiny with multiple human rights organizations warning it of potential legal consequences. 
On Monday, The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/23/gaza-humanitarian-foundation-israel-human-rights-groups">reported</a> that 15 international human rights organizations have warned the GHF and other private groups running humanitarian aid delivery in Gaza to cease their operations or face legal consequences amid accusations of war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide.
Meanwhile, another report from&nbsp;France 24 indicated that the GHF has requested $30 million in emergency aid from the Trump administration, citing a dire humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory and an urgent need for increased assistance. Earlier this month,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45853888/bill-gates-quietly-visits-white-house-amid-trump-musk-feud-urges-marco-rubio-to-reverse-usaid-cuts-report">Bill Gates</a>&nbsp;reportedly visited the White House to urge Rubio to reconsider proposed cuts to foreign aid, including $8.3 billion designated for USAID.

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) chief executive Jamie Dimon says U.S. companies are short on workers who can code software, secure networks and run complex projects.
What Happened: "We are short on labor," Dimon <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/23/jpmorgan-chase-ceo-jamie-dimon-in-demand-skills-gen-z-cyber-coding-computer-science-project-management/">told</a> the Business Roundtable's CEO Workforce Forum. "We all have needs for cyber, we all have needs for coding, we all have needs for programming … financial management and program management, things like that."
Dimon's remarks cut against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041419/sam-altman-says-ai-will-make-his-kids-more-capable-not-more-intelligent-my-kids-will-never-be-smarte">forecasts</a> of an entry-level "bloodbath" as artificial-intelligence tools automate routine office tasks. He argued the bottleneck is skills, not head count, and urged schools to embed industry credentials in their curriculum so graduates can "get out and get a good job."
"Too much focus in education has been on graduating college," he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAHfdX4rsMw">told</a> Indianapolis TV last year. "It should be on jobs."
Dimon, who is also a board member of the New York Jobs CEO Council, also highlighted how some educational institutions are collaborating with the private sector to create programs that improve job readiness.

Why It Matters: Dimon's sentiment comes as young graduates enter a workforce where automation and AI are rapidly displacing entry-level positions.
Chris Hyams, the CEO of popular job-search platform Indeed, recently warned that "for about two-thirds of all jobs, 50% or more of those skills are things that today's generative AI can do reasonably well, or very well." Citing a study, which dissected roughly two million postings skill by skill, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45511651/ai-wont-steal-your-paycheck-yet-two-thirds-of-all-jobs-have-half-their-skills-up-for-grabs-says-indeed-ceo-chris-hyams">Hyams' blunt takeaway</a> is that "pretty much every job is going to change if it's not changing already."
