 WHY MODERNA MERGED ITS TECH AND HR DEPARTMENTS (3 MINUTE READ) [10] 

 Moderna's merging of technology and human resources into a single
function is a sign of how artificial intelligence will change the
workforce. The company is redesigning teams based on what work is best
done by people versus what can be automated with technology. It has
developed over 3,000 tailored GPTs designed for specific tasks like
dose selection for clinical trials and drafting responses to questions
from regulators. As a result, roles are being created, eliminated, and
reimagined. 

 APPLE CONSIDERS RAISING IPHONE PRICES, WITHOUT BLAMING TARIFFS (6
MINUTE READ) [15] 

 Apple is considering price increases for its fall iPhone lineup. It
is determined to avoid any scenario in which it appears the price
increases are attributed to US tariffs on goods from China. The US and
China agreed yesterday to suspend most of the tariffs they had imposed
on each other. Chinese factories will continue to handle the bulk of
production for Apple's most profitable and high-end phones. While
Indian factories are capable of producing Pro models, the country's
infrastructure and technical capabilities are not yet able to support
mass production at the same scale as China. 

 ELON MUSK'S BORING COMPANY IS IN TALKS WITH GOVERNMENT OVER AMTRAK
PROJECT (10 MINUTE READ) [16] 

 The Federal Railroad Administration is in discussions with the Boring
Company to see whether it can help with a multi-billion-dollar Amtrak
project. The firm told officials that it could find ways to build the
tunnels needed for the project more cheaply and efficiently. The
Boring Company is one of several firms being consulted for the
project. No decision has been made on bids yet.
