Goldman Sachs CEO: AI Will Not Cause Wall Street to Experience Mass Unemployment
June 4 — Goldman Sachs Group Chairman and CEO David Solomon said in an interview that even as artificial intelligence rapidly makes inroads into the banking sector, he does not believe AI will trigger widespread white-collar layoffs on Wall Street.

Additionally, Solomon discussed the current capital markets environment, Goldman’s role in SpaceX’s IPO and Alphabet’s landmark equity financing, his early career experience in the junk bond business, and how AI is transforming music production.

Israel and Lebanon have agreed to implement a ceasefire, but Hezbollah did not participate in the negotiations.
June 4 — According to *The Washington Post*, Israel and Lebanon reached a U.S.-mediated ceasefire agreement on Wednesday local time to end months of border conflict. However, Hezbollah — a key actor in the conflict backed by Iran — did not participate in the U.S. State Department negotiations and has not immediately commented on the deal.
Since the two sides struck a preliminary ceasefire in April, cross-border exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah have persisted. Analysts note that Hezbollah’s absence from the recent talks leaves significant uncertainty over whether the new ceasefire will be fully implemented.
The announcement comes after the U.S. government previously revealed that Israel and Lebanon had agreed to a ceasefire arrangement aimed at de-escalating regional tensions.
