A recent report by a U.S. Congressional committee accuses major Wall Street firms of colluding with advocacy groups to pressure companies into reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. The report, the first of its kind from the Republican-led Judiciary Committee, follows an investigation into whether corporate climate change efforts breach antitrust laws. The report criticizes President Joe Biden's administration for failing to investigate the alleged collusion, and focuses on Climate Action 100+ for pressuring asset managers to support climate-related initiatives. The report also targets climate-focused investor groups and major asset managers for their involvement in the 'climate cartel.' No antitrust lawsuits have been filed against any climate coalitions as of now.

Apple officially introduced the 'Apple Intelligence' technology at WWDC 2024, signaling the start of its 'AI era.' While still utilizing its in-house AI models in collaboration with OpenAI and planning to incorporate more third-party providers due to restrictions in creating its own models possibly related to privacy policies, Apple ensures user privacy in AI applications through 'Private Cloud Compute.' The AI structure is constrained to A17 Pro or M1 processor devices, allowing only specific iPhone and Mac models to access 'Apple Intelligence.' In the future, Apple may partner with other third-party services like Google's Gemini, providing users with flexibility in AI model selection to adapt to varying needs and regulations globally, offering a transitional approach until in-house AI models are fully developed. Extras like whether regional limitations will apply to 'Private Cloud Compute' and the integration of Chinese providers remain undisclosed.
