Dorsey's Job Cuts at Block Arouse Suspicions of AI-Washing

When Block laid off nearly half its staff last week, co-founder Jack Dorsey offered a seemingly simple explanation: artificial intelligence was allowing the company to do more with fewer employees. The announcement, though, landed at the center of a complex debate over AI and the future of work: on one side, genuine fear that the technology will displace jobs at an unprecedented pace; on the other, deep cynicism that companies are exploiting that fear to dress up old-fashioned cost-cutting as technological futurism. Marcelo P. Lima, Founder and Managing Partner at Heller House, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. Lima has been a vocal critic of Dorsey's management style at Block, and posted soon after the layoff announcement that the reduction in force "is the new Citrini fake narrative." Lima speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.

Defense Stocks Surge as Middle East Attacks Escalate

The group has rallied over the past year as global tensions intensified following the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the US ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and President Donald Trump's threats about taking over Greenland, which further fueled the rush into defense stocks. Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Defense Analyst Wayne Sanders joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.

Treasuries Rout Shows Iran Conflict Reigniting Inflation Worry

Inflation is re-emerging as the crucial worry in the $30 trillion Treasuries market as investors see the risk of a protracted conflict in the Mideast that keeps crude prices elevated. For weeks, haven buying was the dominant driver of US government bonds. Treasuries just logged their best month in a year as investors sought shelter from losses in stocks and fretted about mounting tensions between the US and Iran. But on Monday, that flight-to-safety trade evaporated abruptly as the breakout of war in the Middle East over the weekend triggered a surge in oil prices. Michael Contopoulos, Deputy CIO at Richard Bernstein Advisors, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.
