Don’t Be AI-larmed: AI Can Discover a Drug. People Still Have to Prove It Works. - Michael Baker #WeeklyCheckup

AI’s promise in life sciences is potential efficiency, not finished medicines. AI can generate candidates and accelerate experiments, but labs and clinical trials must still establish whether those candidates work. #WeeklyCheckup

With federal debt now above $40 trillion and rising by more than $2 trillion annually, the $41.1 trillion debt limit could be reached in 2027. Congress should begin addressing the issue now. #Eakinomics

China has once again fallen short of its commitments. U.S. agricultural imports reached $8.8 billion through July 2026, well below the $17 billion annual goal, while soybean purchases remain below target. #TheShipment

The debt limit is back. Federal debt passed $40 trillion on August 18, and debt has been mounting by more than $2 trillion annually. At that pace, the $41.1 trillion limit could be reached in 2027. #Eakinomics

AI is moving rapidly into drug development, raising expectations about new medicines – and concerns about computers playing a larger role in human health. AI can help, but biology still must prove medicines work. #WeeklyCheckup

Good reminder from @djheakin of @AAF: Uncle Sam is piling on the debt so fast Congress will soon have to debate the debt limit again. Add it to the list of potential lame duck priorities.

The FTC’s new personalized pricing proposal employs a “consumer expectations” framework that could lead to subjective enforcement and limit consumer benefits. #antitrust

The federal debt passed $40 trillion on August 18, after OBBBA raised the debt limit by $5 trillion to $41.1 trillion. At current growth rates, the limit could be reached in 2027. #Eakinomics

The FTC’s proposed policy targets personalized pricing without required disclosures. But grounding enforcement in subjective “consumer expectations” could create ambiguity, chill competition, and limit pricing innovation. #Antitrust

Managing expectations appears to be the priority on the Trump-Xi meeting. China has fallen short on most prior commitments, including Boeing purchases, tariff reductions, agricultural imports, and soybean purchases. #TheShipment

FACT OF THE DAY: Since the start of 2026, the federal government has published $1.1 trillion in total regulatory net cost savings and 108.7 million hours of net annual paperwork increases.

The administration is reportedly preparing a 90-day diesel export ban, with high energy prices driving political pressure. But the ban could raise fuel prices and create additional uncertainty over its legal authority. #Eakinomics americanactionforum.org/dail…
(Not So) Fun Fact: The U.S. national average diesel price sits at $6.51 per gallon – just below the recent record high of $6.53 – which is 76 percent higher than one year ago. #TheShipment

The #FTC is seeking comment on a policy targeting personalized pricing without “clear and conspicuous” disclosures, but a subjective “consumer expectations” framework could chill pricing innovation and competition.
