U.S. Q1 GDP Growth Slows to 1.6%, CISA's Latest AI Guidelines, Mosyle's MSP Launch
Description
The U.S. experienced a slowdown in Q1 GDP growth, with a rate of 1.6%, signaling a deceleration in the economy at the start of 2024. Despite this, consumer spending displayed resilience, showing solid growth in personal consumption expenditures. In the last quarter, consumer spending increased at an annualized rate of 2.5%, indicating that American consumers are maintaining their spending habits despite high borrowing costs and persistent inflation.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released AI guidelines for critical infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of managing risks and leveraging opportunities associated with artificial intelligence. These guidelines aim to provide operators and owners of critical infrastructure with a framework to effectively govern, measure, and manage the use of AI technology.
