WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris has met with the heads of Google, Microsoft and two other companies developing artificial intelligence. President Joe Biden briefly dropped by the meeting in the White House’s Roosevelt Room and told the CEOs, “What you’re doing has enormous potential and enormous danger.” The Biden administration is rolling out initiatives meant to ensure the rapidly evolving AI technology improves lives without putting at risk people’s rights and safety. The Democratic administration announced a $140 million investment to establish seven AI research institutes. The White House Office of Management and Budget intends to issue guidance in the next few months on how federal agencies can use AI tools.

The year’s first lunar eclipse is underway, and the best viewing is in Asia and Australia. The four-hour eclipse began late Friday or early Saturday, depending on the location, as Earth passed between the moon and the sun. This is an eclipse where the moon slips into the fringes of Earth’s shadow, missing the darkest, innermost part. The slight dimming of the moon might not even be noticeable. The next lunar eclipse in October will put on a better show.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Ohio will have until the end of June to finish a plan to aimed at combating toxic algae blooms that have flourished in Lake Erie since the late 1990s. The deadline is part of settlement agreement approved by a federal judge on Thursday. The consent decree also calls for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to either approve the plan or come up with its own if it determines the state’s proposal isn’t strong enough. The agreement brings an end to a lawsuit seeking to force mandatory pollution rules for the lake following algae outbreaks that have fouled drinking water.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a settlement agreement last year, TurboTax’s owner Intuit Inc. was ordered to pay $141 million to low-income consumers who were deceived into paying TurboTax to file their federal returns — despite being eligible for free, federally-supported tax services. Checks to the 4.4 million Americans eligible for for restitution payments will be mailed out starting next week, New York Attorney General Letitia James said Thursday. The amount paid to each eligible consumer ranges from $29 to $85, depending on how many tax years they qualify for.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Republican officials in New Hampshire are objecting to a historical marker dedicated to labor activist who championed women’s rights and was a founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, but who also led the Communist Party and was sent to prison. Known as “The Rebel Girl” for her fiery speeches, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was born in Concord in 1890. A green and white Historical Highway Marker was unveiled Monday near her birthplace. It was approved by the Concord City Council, and is one of 278 across the state. Republican Gov. Chris Sununu has since called for a review of the state’s historical marker program.

Ford Motor Co. is recalling certain 2004 to 2006 Ranger vehicles because replacement front passenger air bag inflators may have been installed incorrectly. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a letter that the recall includes 231,942 vehicles.

DETROIT (AP) — U.S. safety regulators are investigating possible electrical problems in older Dodge Journeys after a woman was trapped and died when her SUV caught fire in December. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it’s investigating whether inoperative door locks and windows can prevent people from getting out of the SUVs during an emergency. Documents posted Friday on the agency’s website say the probe covers more than 82,000 Journeys from the 2009 model year. The investigation was opened after the woman’s death on Dec. 9. A complaint filed with the agency says the woman pulled to the side of a road when warning lights started flashing and the doors wouldn’t unlock. The complaint alleged that fire started in the engine and spread, trapping the woman inside.

WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s employers added a healthy 253,000 jobs in April, evidence of a labor market that still shows surprising strength despite rising interest rates, chronically high inflation and a banking crisis that could weaken the economy. The unemployment rate dipped to 3.4%, matching a 54-year low. But the jobless rate fell in part because 43,000 people left the labor force, the first drop since November, and were no longer counted as unemployed. The government said that while hiring was solid in April, it was much weaker in February and March than it had previously estimated. And hourly wages rose last month at the fastest pace since July, which may alarm the inflation fighters at the Federal Reserve.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street’s most influential stock is helping to pull the market higher after Apple reported better profit than expected, while beaten-down banks also leap to cut into their sharp losses from a brutal week. The S&P 500 was 1% higher in early trading Friday, though it’s still on pace for its worst week in nearly two months. The Dow rose 1.1% and the Nasdaq composite rose 1%. Treasury yields were jumping in the bond market after a report showed hiring accelerated across the economy by much more than expected last month. The government’s monthly jobs report also showed workers won bigger pay raises than expected.
