AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

FDA Leadership Shake-Up: President Trump nominated Dr. Heidi Overton to lead the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a move tied to faster drug approvals and a push that includes psychedelic research. AI in Healthcare (Louisiana): Louisiana Act 649 now requires clinicians to verbally disclose AI-assisted recording before it starts, putting ambient documentation tools under clearer patient-facing rules. Drone Delivery Boom: Amazon Prime Air plans to expand to nearly 500 U.S. cities and towns by end of 2026, with deliveries claimed in as fast as 30 minutes—raising new questions for regulators and communities. Surveillance Pricing: Louisiana shoppers may be affected by “surveillance pricing” concerns as states move to restrict how electronic pricing and customer data can drive different prices. Coastal Climate Science: A new Science study finds mangrove forests are recovering globally, using decades of satellite data to show resilience after long losses. Local Tech & Data Centers: Amazon’s Louisiana data center investment keeps climbing, with new Shreveport campus plans adding to the state’s AI infrastructure buildout.
