The European Union's approval of landmark AI regulations marks a significant milestone in the governance of artificial intelligence. These regulations represent the first comprehensive framework for AI governance, aiming to make AI more human-centric and placing restrictions on high-risk AI systems. The regulations include measures such as banning certain AI applications and requiring labels for others. The AI Act is expected to become law in May, with full regulations in effect by mid-2026. Violations of the AI Act can result in substantial fines, up to $38 million or 7% of a company's global revenue.This development is crucial for businesses operating in the EU, as the regulations will apply to all companies offering AI models in the region. The EU's leadership in AI regulation sets a precedent for other regions and underscores the importance of ethical and responsible AI development. By implementing these regulations, the EU aims to ensure that AI technologies are developed and deployed in a manner that prioritizes human well-being and safety.The approval of these regulations highlights the growing importance of AI governance and the need for clear guidelines to address the ethical and societal implications of AI technologies. As businesses continue to integrate AI into their operations, compliance with these regulations will be essential to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and build trust with consumers and stakeholders. Four things to know today 00:00 EU Approves Landmark AI Regulations: First Comprehensive Framework for AI Governance03:34 AI Everywhere: Barracuda, GoTo, Dell, and HaloPSA Lead with AI Innovations in Partner and Customer Solutions05:14 Virtual Machines Out, Cloud and AI In: John Deere and Computershare's Strategic Moves06:42 Why Building an AI Strategy is Better Than Hiring a Chief AI Officer   Supported by: http://skykick.com/mspradio/https://getinsync.ca/mspradio/   All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/sponsors/   Looking for a link from the stories?

In today's Work Matters, Thomas talks with Joe Spadaford, President of J Francis Consulting, about his experience implementing work design in financial services. Joe held senior leadership roles at Citibank, First National Bank of Chicago, First Chicago Trust Company, Axa, Computershare, and AST. He shares the lessons learned when transforming large operating departments and organizations through motivational work design, and unpacks the indicators that demonstrate an organization would benefit from work design: poor performance, high-turnover, low customer satisfaction, and inability to scale. Revealing the benefits of work design, Joe explains the key ingredients for a successful transformation: leadership commitment, cross-functional coordination and collaboration, and employee buy-in. He also discusses the evolving role of AI and HR in business and how each impacts the effectiveness of work design.Joe then takes us on a typical implementation journey from start to finish: assessing the current state, defining objectives, forming a design team, piloting and refining the design, and full deployment. He concludes with detailing the results of a successful work design effort: higher employee engagement; reduced turnover; improved productivity; increased customer satisfaction; reduced costs; and freed-up time for managers.

And watch out for Bell Direct's coverage on CBA's results later today. Trading Ideas:Bell Potter maintain a Buy rating on Coronado Global Resources (ASX:CRN) after the company reported its half-year results yesterday. NPAT came in at US$562 million, above Bell Potter's estimate of $522 million. The company also declared an ordinary interim dividend of US 7.5cps, higher than Bell Potter's estimated US 6cps. CRN also maintained their guidance outlook, which includes a strong half in coal output. The broker increased their price target from $1.95 to $2.05, and at CRN's current share price of $1.60, this implies 28.1% share price growth in a year. Trading Central have identified a bearish signal in AGL Energy (ASX:AGL), indicating that the stock price may fall from the close of $8.47 to the range of $7.75 to $7.90 over 17 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis. 

Yesterday our local market extended its losses, falling 1.3% or 85 points to close at 6,601. This comes as investors digested rising interest rate forecasts and an increase to the minimum wage. We also got an update on consumer confidence for June, which fell 4.5% month-over-month, back to levels seen at the beginning of the pandemic. Now confidence was weighed down by surging prices and expectations of further interest rate hikes.Losses were seen across the board, with all 11 industry sectors in the red. The tech sector was down the most, as it's quite sensitive to interest rates, due to their high price to earnings ratios and low dividend payments.The best performer yesterday was medical device company PolyNovo (ASX:PNV) despite no announcements out from the company. However, insider buying action amongst its senior managers has likely propped up its share price and overall sentiment. Other top performers included Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC), Suncorp (ASX:SUN) and Computershare (ASX:CPU). Meanwhile, the worst performers included tech companies like NOVONIX (ASX:NVX), Megaport (ASX:MP1) and Block (ASX:SQ2). And the most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients were ANZ (ASX:ANZ), Insignia Financial (ASX:IFL) and Lake Resources (ASX:LKE).In the US, as was widely expected, the US Federal Reserve lifted rates by 75 basis points, the biggest increase made in almost 30 years. Stocks rallied, as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell noted that a 50 or 75 basis point increase “seems most likely” at its next meeting in July, highlighting the central bank's commitment to fighting inflation. So, we saw all three benchmarks push higher, with the Nasdaq up the most, rising 2.5%.What to watch today:Following the US market's positive session, our local market is set for a positive day, with the SPI futures suggesting a lift of 0.4% at the open.Economic news wise, the latest jobs figures will be released today, with the May unemployment rate expected to remain steady on forecasts of a small gain in jobs across the economy. Keep an eye on Coronado Global (ASX:CRN) – its share price might see a lift today after news that the coal miner has been added to the ASX200 index, replacing Crown Resorts (ASX:CWN), which has been delisted following Blackstone's takeover.In commodities:Oil prices tumbled over 2% amid concerns that rising interest rates would impact demand. The WTI crude oil pride now trades at around US$116 a barrel.Gold prices retreated from their highs of the day after the rate hike. Now remember, although gold is considered a hedge against inflation, rate hikes increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.The spot iron ore price is trading 0.7% lower at US$136 a tonne.If you hold medical device company ResMed (ASX:RMD) you will receive your dividend payment today.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter have maintained its Buy rating on hardware company, Coventry Group (ASX:CYG) with a reduced price target from $2.00 to $1.70. Bell Potter sees Coventry as a business that is fast approaching an inflexion point in recovery, with market share in Australia being recouped at pace and, importantly, little cost to gross margin. Now, at its current share price of $1.20, this implies about 42% share price growth in a year.Trading Central has a bearish signal on Duxton Farms (ASX:DBF) indicating that the stock price may fall from the close of $1.68 to the range of $1.40 - $1.46 in the next 111 days according to standard principals of technical analysis.

The local market was back in the green yesterday, up 0.9% with the materials and energy sectors boosting the market. Overall, the market was mixed, with six of the 11 industry sectors closing lower, with the tech sector down the most.Looking at the ASX200 leaderboard, Liontown Resources (ASX:LTR) was the best performer, up 6.3%, followed by AVZ Minerals (ASX:AVZ) and BHP Group (ASX:BHP), which added 5.1%. Computershare (ASX:CPU) posted a solid gain of 4.3%. One of the tailwinds helping Computershare recently is the outlook for rising interest rates, which will help increase its margins. On the flipside, tech shares were amongst the worst performers, with Block (ASX:SQ2) and Life360 (ASX:360) giving up some of their gains from the prior session. The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients yesterday, they included Commonwealth Bank (ASX:CBA), Woodside Petroleum (ASX:WPL) and Allkem (ASX:AKE). Moving to the US, as at the time of recording, all three benchmarks are in the green as investors digest Federal Reserve Jerome Powell's latest rate hike comments. Goldman Sachs on Monday upped its forecast to 50 basis point hikes at the May and June Fed meetings.What to watch today: The futures as at 7:30am AEDT, are suggesting that the Aussie share market is set to open 0.4% higher this morning.  Economic news wise, the manufacturing and services flash PMI for March will be released today. PMI stands Purchasing Managers' Index which is essentially an index of the prevailing direction of economic trends in the manufacturing and service sectors. The flash PMI today is a forward-looking estimate of the final PMI, which is set to be released next week.In commodities, the oil price was mixed, currently trading down about 0.8%. It now looks unlikely that the European Union will pursue an embargo on Russian oil.  The gold price slipped to a near one-week low off the back of Federal Reserve Jerome Powell's hawkish stance, which sent Treasury yields higher. Now gold is highly sensitive to rising US interest rates, as they increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.Seek (ASX:SEK), Myer Holdings (ASX:MYR) and Supply Network (ASX:SNL) are set to go ex-dividend today. Trading Ideas:Bell Potter have maintained its BUY rating on Nickel Mines (ASX:NIC) and have lifted its price target by 7% to $1.88. The comes as PT Oracle Nickel Industry, the operating entity housing the Oracle Nickel RKEF project, has been granted material corporate tax relief. This removes an expense of ~US$50 million per annum from its estimates for ten years. Now NIC closed about 1.5% higher yesterday to $1.29, which implies about 46% share price growth in a year. Trading Central has a bullish signal on Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS), indicating that the stock price may rise from the close of $3.00 to the range of $3.40- $3.55 in the next 24 days according to standard principals of technical analysis.

An upbeat slew of company reports pushed the local market higher over the course of the day. Only energy and iron ore majors didn't feel the love. After a rough few weeks Aussie tech led the way higher, adding 2.6%, neck and neck with financials adding 2.5%. CBA was the star performer on profits, dividends and a $2B buyback. Computershare added 11% on a decent report, while Temple & Webster sparked a short-squeeze rally despite reporting a slump in earnings and profits. Mineral Resources is sometimes a lithium market darling but not today, it was smashed 10% at the open on a jump in costs and thin iron ore margins, and sat at the bottom of the ladder all day. Keeping it company was Bapcor, closing down nearly 8%. After a bottom left-top right session, the S&P/ASX200 closed up 81 points or 1.1%.Our top three VODs:A strong Australia makes for a strong CBA; CEO Comyn on margins, recoveryFat Prophets on the REITs' February reporting seasonTemple & Webster powers in startup mode: Lucas See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The speed of change in digitisation is ever-increasing, but not all Directors feel at ease with new, digital ways of working in their boardrooms.  However, boards simply must adapt as digitisation does not stop at the boardroom door.  Maddie is a Chartered Secretary who has supported various companies, from FTSE 100 to small private companies. In her current role as UK Managing Director for Computershare Governance Services, she leads a team of Company Secretaries who support listed and private companies to maintain compliance and enhance their governance.  Some of the key takeaways of the conversation include: "We have become more used to virtual meetings… it's not as contrived as it perhaps seems"The pandemic has forced virtual meetings to become everyday occurrences.  Most boards know these bring increased efficiency and reduced cost, but Maddie Scrafton believes that the quality of virtual conversation depends on how willing board members are to embrace it.  She acknowledges the difficulty of creating a natural group dynamic when people are not physically in the room together. Solutions typically include more formal routes, such as additional sub-committees or mid-meetings between more formal meetings, to ensure ongoing discussions in a more relaxed, social way.  However, more innovative or creative solutions have been found in some virtual boardrooms.   Maddie explains how one company pre-recorded presentations, enabling members to focus in the boardroom on the issues raised rather than the presentations themselves.  Sabine also describes one board that served lunch to all members at the same time, simulating eating together. "You need robust debate, and it helps to be in the room" The jump to the virtual world is not always appropriate, and movement toward a hybrid model is becoming increasingly common.  Transactional and "business as usual" decisions are ideal for virtual meetings, however for subjects that might benefit from more challenge, such as strategy or year-end results, in person, 'in the room' meetings will still be better. "It is important for board members to have a consistent understanding of the terminology and meaning of technology" Boards are now more aware of technology and technical terminology. However, although some are increasingly 'tech savvy,' not all boards benefit.  Digital portals may be the standard in the boardroom for larger or FTSE-100 companies. Still, smaller companies may be unaware of the benefits, reluctant to implement, or simply not have considered how technology can help with their working processes.   "We should be making communication simpler, not more complex… Just because you can do something and make it more complex doesn't mean you should" Technology moves quickly, and boards may need to use external advice or board training. Still, many technologies may actually be easy for directors to use at the front end but laborious behind the scenes.  Maddie describes the increasingly complex tasks portal technology can do, such as minute templates, providing market information, and chat functionality.  In practice, very few companies are using even a fraction of this capability, so there is a huge amount of gain still to be realised from technology in the boardroom.   Don't forget to subscribe never to miss an episode of the Better Boards Podcast Series.

When you made your first purchase of a share or ETF you would have received a welcome letter from a share registry. What's this for?More information in the blog post here https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/computershare "What is a share registry? I think probably the easiest way to, to answer that is to use some other analogies. When you've got your license and you go to Vic roads or the RTA and they record who the license holders are, or you go to the land titles office and they register who the owners of properties are, a share registry records the ownership of companies. So who are the shareholders? What are their names? What are their addresses of the companies? And we primarily focus on ASX listed companies here in Australia" - Scott HudsonA share registry like Computershare recordsYour mailing addressYour email addressYour Tax File NumberYour bank account details As General Manager of Market Liaison, Scott is responsible for Computershare's engagement with the market and leading strategic projects.

Some examples: “He made all his money from property.” “They made all their money from GNLD.” “He made all his money from farming.” The phrase also goes the other way, except this time it's true. “They lost all their money when their business failed.” “He lost all his money in property.” “They lost everything in an investment.” The key message I got from Simon's recent conversation with Charles Savage is that users remain uninvested because they are afraid of losing all their money. The bigger problem is that people misunderstand what the stock market is and how you make money from it. In this episode, we attempt to explain how you make and lose money in the stock market. We follow that with why it's very unlikely that you'll make, or lose, ALL your money by investing. Win of the week is Shane, for sending my favourite email of the week. Just wanted to say - this morning's podcast was terrific! Busy researching into a shared Credit Card for myself and the missus.

A licensed stock broker, who holds both the FINRA Series 7, and Series 63 brokers licenses, Ndona has worked in the investment industry for 10 years in New York, NY, and Toronto, Ontario Canada, prior to relocating to Georgia in the summer of 2015. With clients in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg, she had the opportunity to use her diverse background, and language skills as leverage when educating clients on foreign, and domestic capital, and commodities markets.

The daughter of a jazz musician, and professor from Congo-Kinshasa, and an American mother who was a model, and dancer, Ndona grew up surrounded by what she refers to as the United Nations. Surrounded by artists, and professionals who spoke a multitude of languages, from diverse cultures, her view on the world was formed at an early age.
