AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Connecticut AI in hiring gets a major new rule: The state just passed a sweeping online safety law that directly targets “automated employment-related decision technology,” requiring clearer disclosures and setting up third-party risk assessments for AI used to influence hiring, promotion, discipline, and termination. Generic drug quality alarms hit home: A heart-transplant survivor in Connecticut says problems with generic medications nearly cost her life, as an independent lab’s broader drug-testing push raises fresh questions about batch consistency. Health policy pressure builds: The Supreme Court preserved access to the abortion pill mifepristone while litigation continues, and separate reporting spotlights how patients are struggling with SSRI discontinuation. STEM & workforce momentum: UConn is backfilling $35M in lost federal research grants, and Connecticut lawmakers are advancing a bill to expand paid internships—aimed at making career experience reachable for students who can’t afford unpaid work. Local science spotlight: Beardsley Zoo is rolling out new exhibits and rare-species arrivals for spring.
