We are creating a news digest about the workforce impact from the business side for the week of 2025-06-16 to 2025-06-24, focusing on AI agents or agentic AI.
 The readers are worldwide, so we must mention country names when something is country-specific.
 The text should be at a 5th-grade reading level and split into many paragraphs for easy reading.
 We are to output in JSON format with two parts: shortSummary (300-500 words) and longSummary (800-1200 words).
 The structure must be exactly as specified.

 Steps:
 1. Identify relevant news from the search results for the given week and topic.
 2. Since the query specifies the week from 2025-06-16 to 2025-06-24, we note that the provided articles have dates:
    - [1]: 2025-06-19 (within the week)
    - [2]: No date, but likely recent (we can assume within the week because it's about the same topic as [1])
    - [3]: 2025-04-04 (too old, skip)
    - [4]: 2025-06-21 (within the week)
    - [5]: 2025-06-22 (within the week)

 3. We have three articles within the week: [1], [4], and [5]. [2] is from aboutamazon.com and is likely a primary source for [1] and [4], but without a date, we cannot be sure it's within the week. However, since it is referenced in the same context, we can consider it as background. But note: the query requires news from the specified week, so we must only use articles with dates in that range.

 4. The topic is "Workforce Impact (from business side)" and specifically related to AI agents or agentic AI.

 5. Summarize the news:

    [1] and [4] both report on Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's warning that AI will reduce the corporate workforce. [1] is from New Orleans CityBusiness and [4] from SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management). Both are within the week.

    [5] is from ScienceDaily and reports on a study about how half of today's jobs could vanish due to AI and how countries are preparing. It is within the week.

 6. We also note that [3] is from April and not within the week, so we skip it.

 7. Now, let's extract the key points for the summaries:

    For the shortSummary (300-500 words, broken into paragraphs with inline citations and key phrases in bold):

        We'll have two main stories:
          a. Amazon CEO's warning about AI reducing corporate workforce (based on [1] and [4])
          b. The global perspective on job transformations and national strategies (based on [5])

    For the longSummary (800-1200 words, broken into multiple paragraphs, each covering a different aspect, with examples, citations, and key phrases in bold):

        We can expand on:
          - The Amazon announcement and its implications for corporate workforce
          - The global study on job vanishing and new job creation
          - National strategies to prepare the workforce

 8. We must write at a 5th-grade reading level: use simple words and short sentences.

 9. We must use inline citations: e.g., [1] for the Amazon story and [5] for the global study.

 10. We must not write the date range in the output, just refer to it as "this weekly update".

 11. The output must be in JSON format with two keys: "shortSummary" and "longSummary". We must use actual newlines (U+000A) and escape them correctly in the JSON string (by using \n in the string value).

 12. We note that the structure of the JSON requires the summaries to be strings (with embedded Markdown for bold and citations). We must not include any other keys.

 13. We must not include any text outside the JSON code block.

 14. We must split the summaries into many paragraphs for easy reading.

 Let's outline the content:

 shortSummary:

   Paragraph 1: This week, big news came from Amazon. The CEO, Andy Jassy, said that using artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to fewer jobs in the company's corporate offices. He explained that AI will make the company more efficient, so they will need fewer people for some jobs. But he also said they will need more people for other kinds of jobs. This change will happen over the next few years. [1][4]

   Paragraph 2: Meanwhile, a study from the University of Georgia looked at how countries around the world are getting ready for big changes in jobs because of AI. The study found that almost half of today's jobs might disappear in the next 20 years. But it's not all bad news because new jobs that don't exist today will be created. The study says that countries are making plans to help their people learn new skills, especially AI skills. [5]

   (We might need a third paragraph to meet the word count? But let's see: we are at about 150 words. We can add a connecting paragraph.)

   Paragraph 3: These stories show that businesses and governments are thinking about how AI will change work. Companies like Amazon are already planning to use AI to do more with less people. At the same time, countries are trying to prepare their workers for the future by teaching them AI skills. [1][4][5]

   (We can also include a note about the Amazon investment in North Carolina from [1] to add more detail.)

   Revised Paragraph 1: This week, Amazon made a big announcement. The company's CEO, Andy Jassy, told employees that using artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to fewer corporate jobs in the next few years. He said AI will help the company become more efficient, so they won't need as many people for some tasks. But he also said they will need more workers for other types of jobs. Amazon is investing $10 billion to build a campus in North Carolina for cloud computing and AI. This shows they are serious about using AI. [1]

   Paragraph 2: Also, a new study from the University of Georgia looked at how 50 different countries are getting ready for AI changes. The study found that almost half of today's jobs might vanish in the next 20 years. But it also says that new jobs we can't even imagine today will be created. Most of these new jobs will require advanced AI skills. The researcher, Lehong Shi, said that human skills like creativity and communication are still very important and cannot be replaced by AI. [5]

   Paragraph 3: These examples show that AI is changing the workforce from the business side. Companies are looking to AI to do more work with fewer people. At the same time, governments are creating plans to help workers learn the skills they will need for the AI future. [1][5]

   (Now we have about 250 words. We can add one more paragraph about the HR perspective from [4].)

   Paragraph 4: In human resources news, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reported that Amazon's warning means HR leaders will have to lead the way in managing workforce changes. They will need to help employees learn new skills and adjust to AI in the workplace. [4]

   (Now we have covered all the articles. Total words: around 300-400.)

 longSummary:

   We break it into several paragraphs, each covering a different aspect.

   Aspect 1: Amazon's workforce reduction plan due to AI
   Aspect 2: The global study on job transformation
   Aspect 3: National strategies for AI workforce preparation
   Aspect 4: The role of HR in managing the transition
   Aspect 5: The importance of human skills

   We'll write 5-6 paragraphs with detailed explanations and examples.

   Example structure:

   Paragraph 1: This week, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy made a big announcement about how artificial intelligence (AI) will change the company's workforce. He said that AI will help Amazon do tasks more efficiently, so they will need fewer corporate employees in the next few years. However, he also said that the company will need more people for new kinds of jobs. This is because AI will create new opportunities. Jassy encouraged employees to learn about AI by attending workshops and training. He also revealed that Amazon is building a $10 billion campus in North Carolina to expand its cloud and AI work. This shows that Amazon is investing heavily in AI. [1][2]

   Paragraph 2: The news from Amazon is part of a bigger trend. A new study from the University of Georgia looked at how AI is changing jobs all over the world. The study found that almost half of today's jobs could disappear in the next 20 years. But the study also has good news: about 65% of current elementary school children will have jobs that don't exist today. Most of these new jobs will require skills in AI. The researcher, Lehong Shi, said that human skills like creativity and working together cannot be replaced by AI. This means that even with AI, people will still be important for certain tasks. [5]

   Paragraph 3: The study also looked at how 50 different countries are preparing for the AI future. Each country has created a national strategy to help their citizens learn the skills they will need. These strategies include education programs and training for workers. The researcher said that if a country wants to be competitive, it must prepare its workers to use AI. This is especially important for new jobs that will require AI knowledge. [5]

   Paragraph 4: Another report from Gartner (which is not within the week, so we skip) was mentioned in an old article, but we don't have a current report. Instead, we can focus on the HR perspective. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reported that Amazon's announcement means HR leaders will have to manage workforce changes. They will need to help employees transition to new roles and learn new skills. The SHRM article warns that AI will automate more tasks, which will reduce the need for some jobs. HR will be responsible for leading the workforce through this transition. [4]

   Paragraph 5: In summary, this week's news shows that businesses are actively planning for AI to change their workforce. Companies like Amazon are already expecting to have fewer corporate jobs because of AI efficiency. At the same time, governments are working on plans to help their citizens get ready for the AI future. The key takeaway is that while AI will take over some tasks, it will also create new jobs that require new skills. Human skills like creativity and communication will remain important. [1][4][5]

 15. We must ensure we do not exceed the word limits. We'll write the longSummary in about 800-1000 words.

 16. Finally, we output in JSON.

 Note: We are using [1], [4], and [5] for the shortSummary and longSummary. We also included [2] in the longSummary for the Amazon CEO message, but note that [2] is from aboutamazon.com and we don't have a date. However, it is a primary source and the message is the same as reported in [1] and [4]. Since the query requires news from the week, we must be cautious. But [1] and [4] are within the week and they are reporting on the same message. We can cite [1] and [4] for the Amazon story and [5] for the global study.

 Let's write the JSON.

 Important: In the JSON string, we must escape newlines as \n. But note: in a JSON string, we represent a newline with the two-character sequence \n. We are writing the string value with actual newline characters in the code, but when we output as JSON, it will be escaped. However, in this environment, we are writing a string that will be parsed as JSON. We must write the string with \n for newlines because that's how JSON works.

 But note: the instruction says "escape new line characters (Use actual newlines (U+000A), but escape them correctly for JSON output)". This means that in the JSON string we are writing, we should use the escape sequence \n to represent a newline.

 However, in this response, we are writing a code block that contains a JSON string. The JSON string itself must have the newlines escaped as \n.

 Example: 
   "shortSummary": "This is the first paragraph.\n\nThis is the second paragraph."

 But note: we are writing in Markdown and then outputting the code block. So in our code, we will write the string with \n.

 However, the instruction says to "escape them correctly for JSON output", meaning we must use the JSON standard escaping.

 Since we are generating a JSON string, we must include the \n as two characters (backslash and n) in the string.

 But wait: if we write in Python or in a string, we have to double-escape? Actually, in the JSON string, we write the newline as the two-character sequence: backslash and 'n'. So in the code block we are writing, we must write the string with \n.

 Example: 
   "shortSummary": "Paragraph 1.\n\nParagraph 2."

 However, note that the instruction says: "escape them correctly for JSON output". So we are to use the escape sequence.

 But in the context of this response, we are writing a code block that contains a JSON object. We are writing it as a string. So we can write:

   {
     "shortSummary": "This is the first paragraph.\\n\\nThis is the second paragraph.",
     ...
   }

 But wait, that would be double escaped. Actually, we are writing the JSON as a string in the code block. The code block is in Markdown and we are writing the JSON as a string. We don't need to double escape because the JSON standard requires that a newline is represented as \n.

 However, in the JSON string, a newline is represented by the two characters: backslash and n. So in the string value, we write: "Paragraph 1.\\n\\nParagraph 2" ? 

 But note: if we are writing a raw string in JSON, we don't need to double the backslash? Actually, in JSON, we use one backslash to escape. So we write: "Paragraph 1.\n\nParagraph 2"

 However, when we output the string in the JSON, the newline will be represented as a single \n (which is one character). But in the JSON text, we write it as two characters: backslash and n.

 How do we do it? We are writing the JSON as a string. We must write the string with the escape sequences as they would appear in a JSON string.

 Example: 
   The string: 
        Line1
        Line2

   In JSON: "Line1\nLine2"

   But in the code block we are writing, we write: "Line1\\nLine2" ? 

   Actually, no. We are writing a code block that contains the JSON. The JSON itself is a string that contains the escape sequences. So we write:

        "shortSummary": "Line1\\nLine2"

   That would be incorrect because in JSON, a single backslash is used. We don't need to double escape in the JSON.

   However, note: we are in a Markdown code block. We don't need to escape anything for Markdown because it's a code block.

   The correct way: we write the JSON string with the newlines represented by the two-character sequence \n.

   Example: 
        "shortSummary": "This is paragraph 1.\n\nThis is paragraph 2."

   But when we write that in the code block, it will be a string with the literal backslash and n. Then when parsed, it becomes the actual newline.

   However, to be safe, we can write the string in the JSON with the \n as we normally would.

   But note: the instruction says: "escape new line characters ... escape them correctly for JSON output". So we must use \n in the string.

   We'll write the string with \n for each new paragraph.

   Example: 
        "shortSummary": "This is the first paragraph.\n\nThis is the second paragraph."

   And that is valid JSON.

 17. Now, we write the JSON.

 18. We must not include any extra text outside the code block.

 Let's write the JSON.
