On March 10th, a senior U.S. Department of Defense official stated that Google is deploying AI agents for approximately 3 million Department of Defense personnel to automate routine tasks. Emil Michael, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, said that Googles Gemini AI agent can independently perform tasks after being set by users, initially running on unclassified networks. He added that the Department of Defense is discussing with Google deploying these agents on classified cloud platforms. Google Vice President Jim Kelly stated in a blog post on Tuesday that this new capability will allow civilian and military personnel at the Department of Defense to build AI agents using natural language. Google has previously faced internal criticism for its collaborations with the Department of Defense. In 2018, thousands of employees protested the companys involvement in Project Maven, a Pentagon plan to use AI to analyze video data from overseas drone warfare. The opposition ultimately led to Google not renewing its contract for the project.March 10th - Data released Tuesday by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) showed that U.S. existing home sales unexpectedly rose in February, while the previous months data was revised upwards, thanks to lower mortgage rates and moderate asking prices. Contractual sales volume increased by 1.7% to an annualized rate of 4.09 million units, exceeding market expectations. A bright spot in the housing market is improved affordability, with recent declines in mortgage rates and moderate price increases. The NARs monthly housing affordability index (reflecting changes in home prices, median income, and borrowing costs) is currently at its most favorable level since 2022. The associations chief economist, Lawrence Yun, stated, "Housing affordability is improving, and consumers are responding. But theres still a long way to go to return to pre-pandemic transaction activity levels." The report showed that the median price of existing homes rose 0.3% year-over-year to $398,000 last month, one of the smallest increases since the housing boom during the pandemic. Existing home inventory increased 4.9% year-over-year to 1.29 million units, the highest February level since 2020.French Finance Minister: We are prepared to impose sanctions on excessive price increases at gas stations.French Finance Minister: Diesel prices in France have been particularly affected, with significant increases already observed.French Finance Minister: We need to be ready to take action at any time.
