Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt said there needs to be an incentive to keep creatives paid and employed as AI disrupts the entertainment business at Axios’ AI+ Summit.

THE BIG PICTURE: Even though many tech firms won’t say it, their generative AI models have been trained on existing art including movies and books — and controversially without compensation.

Gordon-Levitt argued it’s a basic principle that when humans contribute or create something, or do anything that then makes money, there’s economic value in it.

💼 New White House hiring guidelines sent out to federal agencies last week include what looks like a presidential loyalty test, say current and former federal employees and Trump administration critics.

WHY IT MATTERS: Meant to serve as guidelines to focus hiring on merit, the memo is the latest move from the Trump administration to politicize the civil service, eroding, more than a century of law and tradition meant to insulate career employees from politics, critics say.

President Trump's imminent plans to issue a White House report promoting in vitro fertilization has spurred anti-abortion conservatives to call for new guardrails that could greatly limit the use of the treatment.

WHY IT MATTERS: Medical groups and fertility clinics warn that such steps could not only mislead couples hoping to conceive but also undercut administration efforts to boost the birth rate.

THE BIG PICTURE: Trump has allied himself with "pro-natalist" policies to encourage a new baby boom and endorse assisted reproductive services in March when he called himself the "fertilization president." Several top GOP leaders have also spoken in support of IVF access.
