SentinelOne says its services have been restored following an hours-long outage today that took down its commercial customer consoles — the interface security teams use to monitor and manage protections across their networks.

Why it matters: Without console access, teams were effectively flying blind — unable to view threat telemetry, assess incidents in progress, or take manual response actions.

Companies that maintained their commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion saw reputation scores rise in this year's Axios Harris Poll 100 reputation rankings.

Why it matters: Unclear corporate values or a lack of conviction — most recently seen through mass DEI walk-backs — can hinder reputation.

Chevron's young business to build gas-fired plants that directly supply data centers is "moving very quickly," and final agreements with hyperscalers could come soon, Chevron New Energies president Jeff Gustavson tells Axios.

Why it matters: Chevron's — and rival Exxon's — plunge into behind-the-meter power for data centers shows how the oil supermajors are moving to capitalize on AI's powerful energy thirst.

College graduates are having a tough time landing jobs this year, and AI may be playing a role, finds a new report that parses federal unemployment data.

Why it matters: The analysis from Oxford Economics adds hard evidence to anecdotal reports — and scary warnings — that AI is displacing white-collar workers.

The Trump administration's embrace of AI acceleration is testing MAGA's populist roots, as fears mount of a jobs apocalypse that could destabilize the movement's economic foundation.

Why it matters: MAGA leaders are engaged in a high-stakes juggling act — championing American dominance in AI while sounding the alarm over its potential to wipe out millions of jobs for young and working-class Americans.

More employees are using generative AI at work and many are keeping it a secret.

Why it matters: Absent clear policies, workers are taking an "ask forgiveness, not permission" approach to chatbots, risking workplace friction and costly mistakes.

WASHINGTON – Trade wars, AI disruption and rising tariffs are redrawing the global power map with ripple effects across defense, health care and beyond, top leaders said at an Axios event on May 21.

• The event was sponsored by Exiger.

Why it matters: As uncertainty looms over the economy and international trade relations, companies and policy leaders are looking to see how the new rules of power will play out.

Here's what was said:

• Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) said Russian President Vladimir Putin is playing President Trump "like a fiddle" days after a two-hour call ended with no ceasefire. Also, Shaheen, who worked with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on foreign assistance programs during his time in the Senate, said she "would like to see that Marco Rubio back."
• CIA deputy director Michael Ellis said the CIA needs to fix its tools and techniques, which date to the 1960s and '70s. "A lot of them need to be updated and refreshed to confront the technological challenges of today."
• Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Trump's "gold card" website, which allows people to buy U.S. permanent residency for $5 million, will launch within a week.
• Bayer CEO Bill Anderson said the tariffs haven't affected the company so far, but it's "really important to us that this gets worked out."
• U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said artificial intelligence can unlock "a ton of value" and help "transform the business side of the Army."
• Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) chair of the House select panel on China, said that country is "not a friendly nation," and America doesn't "want to completely decouple, but at the same time we need to be strategic and have our supply chains."

In View From the Top conversations, Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels said deep innovation and "scaling disruption" are the ways for the West to win the trade war.

• "It's actually turning innovation into a continuous part of the supply chain, because there has been a mediocrity in institutional scale," Daniels said. "Like China, [it has] these completely verticalized supply chains where literally there's a mill next to a forging facility, next to a components facility, next to an auto manufacturer – completely streamlined, completely effective. The only way to make it so that that becomes obsolesced is for us to actually just continually innovate at every level."

Nvidia topped earnings expectations in its most recent quarter as AI chip demand continues to fuel growth for the company despite concerns about mounting U.S.-to-China export restrictions.

Why it matters: Nvidia has become a bellwether stock for the AI economy as tech companies invest heavily in product development and data center capability, powering Nvidia's rise.

Dario Amodei — CEO of Anthropic, one of the world's most powerful creators of artificial intelligence — has a blunt, scary warning for the U.S. government and all of us:

• AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years, Amodei told us in an interview from his San Francisco office.
• Amodei said AI companies and government need to stop "sugar-coating" what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs.
