The EPA is expected to announce by the end of the week that it does not believe it has the authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. This decision comes after the EPA issued rules making it easier for power plants and factories to upgrade without costly pollution controls. The decision is the administration's first legal response to lawsuits seeking to force regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, and environmentalists plan to sue the administration over its interpretation of the Clean Air Act. The outcome of this fight could affect various state-level efforts to cap greenhouse gas emissions.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
