On May 26, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon published an opinion piece in The New York Times, stating that the panic surrounding AI leading to a 'job apocalypse and mass unemployment' is exaggerated. Solomon believes that AI will not eliminate jobs on a catastrophic scale but will instead enhance worker productivity, allowing employees to shift towards higher-value tasks and create new positions related to the management, implementation, validation, and regulation of AI systems. However, he also acknowledged that the labor market will face disruptions, noting that the U.S. economy has successfully absorbed similar technological shocks in the past, with overall employment and living standards continuing to rise. AI is likely to follow a similar path as previous technological changes—eliminating some jobs while expanding others. For instance, this year alone, major cloud service companies plan to invest $700 billion in capital expenditures, which has already led to a surge in construction jobs. Solomon cited predictions from Goldman Sachs economists that AI could automate 25% of current work hours over the next decade, with the banking, legal, accounting, software development, and customer service sectors facing the greatest impact.

On May 26, The Wall Street Journal published an article stating that stablecoins essentially belong to 'private currency'. Despite the efforts of the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act to promote the compliance of stablecoins, they may still pose structural risks to the financial system. The article notes that stablecoins aim to combine the stability of the US dollar with the high efficiency of blockchain payments, but because they operate on fragmented and privatized infrastructure, they lack the 'uniformity' of the traditional dollar system. Although USDT and USDC are pegged to the dollar, their prices can still deviate from $1. The issuers of stablecoins have a natural incentive to scale up and 'pursue yields', potentially enhancing returns by allocating to higher-risk, lower-liquidity assets. If the value of these related assets declines, stablecoins may fail to maintain their peg, leading to concentrated redemptions by users and a chain reaction in the market. Furthermore, the article cites Chainalysis data indicating that stablecoins account for 84% of illegal activities in cryptocurrency, including evading sanctions and money laundering. Currently, the primary use of stablecoins remains in crypto trading, with real economic payments accounting for less than 1%. Stablecoins are repeating the path of private currency experiments from the 19th century 'Free Banking Era' in the United States. Although stablecoins have become an important direction for the evolution of payment technology, they may ultimately have to accept stricter regulation and deeper integration into the central banking system.
