On May 25, Chris Olah, co-founder and head of research at Anthropic, stated at the Vatican on Monday (local time) that job displacement from large-scale AI is “a very real possibility,” and society must provide support for workers displaced by AI. He stressed that AI decision-making “should not be left solely to industry insiders,” adding that external oversight from religious institutions, governments, and civil society groups is critical. Olah also noted that current AI development is concentrated in “a small number of wealthy countries,” with no system in place to share AI’s benefits with poorer nations. He revealed that during AI explainability research, researchers have discovered some “mysterious and even unsettling” phenomena, including models exhibiting internal states similar to “happiness, fear, sadness, and unease.” That same day, Pope Leo XIV released his first encyclical *Magnifica Humanitas* (Great Humanity), which extensively discussed AI’s impact on employment, warfar

Breaking: SODAX, a cross-chain liquidity layer platform, officially announced that ICON Network—a Layer 1 blockchain with nearly nine years of operation—will permanently shut down on December 31, 2026, with all assets fully migrated to SODAX. After this date, the ICON chain will be decommissioned, retaining only a read-only function for historical queries. Per the announcement, the final deadline to migrate ICX tokens to SODA is also December 31, 2026. No further ICX migrations will be allowed past this date. Starting September 30, 2026, two-way swaps between ICX and SODA will be suspended, with only one-way migration from ICX to SODA supported afterward.

The Iranian side added that the nuclear issue will be discussed over the next 30 to 60 days. The report notes that since the U.S. launched strikes against Iran in
