In the United States, eight "laptop farm owners" have been sentenced in five months for aiding North Korean IT personnel in infiltrating nearly 70 companies.
**May 8 — The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reports eight people have been sentenced over the past five months for acting as local "agents" for North Korean IT workers.**
In May alone, Tennessee’s Matthew Isaac Knoot and New York’s Erick Ntekereze Prince each received 18-month prison terms. Together, they generated $1.2 million for North Korea and impacted nearly 70 U.S. companies.

Data: The US economy is now heavily reliant on artificial intelligence, with 67% of economic growth driven by AI in the last quarter.
**May 8th — AI Drives Historic U.S. Economic Growth**
Investment in software and IT equipment fueled a record contribution to U.S. GDP in Q1 2026, with AI at its core. That spending added 134 basis points to quarterly growth (up 2.0% quarter-over-quarter) — the largest such quarterly impact on record.
In short: 67% of Q1 2026 economic growth came from AI-driven tech investment. Without it, GDP growth would have been nearly flat. The contribution also beats the 1999 record by roughly 10 basis points.
Over the past five quarters, this category has averaged a 90-basis-point lift per quarter — the highest for any consecutive five-quarter stretch in history. The U.S. economy now leans heavily on AI.
