AI talent is leaving Massachusetts. The state is hustling to catch up.
==========
Massachusetts is working to catch up with San Francisco in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The state has created an AI task force and proposed $100 million in funding to create an "Applied AI Hub". Efforts are being made to attract and retain AI talent, including organizing an AI-focused career fair and a volunteer-organized effort called the AI Blueprint for Massachusetts. Many AI software developers are being heavily recruited by Bay Area companies, leading to concerns about the exodus of talent from Boston. San Francisco and New York are seen as more dynamic cities with better networking opportunities and access to risk-taking investors. However, there are positive signs locally, such as faculty building companies in Boston and an increase in sabbaticals from faculty. Venture capitalist John Werner acknowledges the need for more innovations and developments to make Boston a leader in AI, but believes it is possible.

US and China plan talks on economics, including manufacturing ‘overcapacity’ issue, Yellen says
==========
The U.S. and China have agreed to hold talks on addressing the issue of manufacturing overcapacity in China. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng held extended meetings in Guangzhou, where they discussed balanced economic growth and combating money laundering. Yellen expressed concerns about China's industrial strategy and the potential flooding of U.S. markets with exports that could harm American firms. The talks aim to create a structured way for both sides to address these concerns and avoid conflict. China has responded fully on the issue of production capacity, but details were not provided. Yellen also mentioned joint efforts to address U.S. concerns about Chinese companies selling goods to Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. The talks will be held under the framework of existing economic and financial working groups. Yellen will continue her meetings in Beijing with senior officials and economists.
