North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is reportedly set to name his daughter as his successor, according to a Sky News report citing intelligence sources. The announcement could come later this month at the country's largest political gathering, a party congress. Meanwhile, in the world of technology, Google Chrome has launched WebMCP, a new protocol aimed at making websites more accessible to AI agents, as reported by VentureBeat.
The Sky News report indicated that the teenage daughter, believed to be named Kim Ju Ae, could be appointed first secretary of the ruling party. This move is seen as a step by Kim Jong Un to consolidate his daughter's position. The party congress, which has been on a five-year hiatus, is the anticipated venue for this significant announcement.
