AI is reshaping the world at an unprecedented pace—but without responsible practices, it risks deepening bias, eroding public trust, and causing real-world harm. Building responsible AI means creating systems that are not only powerful, but also fair, transparent, and rooted in human values. Navrina Singh, Founder & CEO of Credo AI, goes Inside the ICE House to share how her company is leading a trust renaissance by embedding governance directly into the AI development lifecycle.
On June 13th, Israel launched attacks on several military and nuclear facilities in Iran, marking the beginning of a 12-day war between the two countries. The United States followed with targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and posing a threat to regional and global stability. China's involvement in the conflict was limited to condemning the Israeli and US use of military force and calling for de-escalation. Beijing offered only rhetorical support for Tehran. To discuss what the Israel-Iran war reveals about China's relationship with Iran, its evolving strategy in the Middle East, and the broader implications for US-China competition, we are joined by Yun Sun on the podcast today. Yun is a Senior Fellow, co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. Her recent piece in The Wire China entitled “How China Sees Iran's Future” offers provides a nuanced take on Beijing's calculus during and after the war.

"You can try to develop self-awareness and take a beginner's mind in all things. This includes being open to feedback and truly listening, even when it might be hard to receive. I think that's been something I've really tried to practice. The other area is recognizing that just like a company or country, as humans we have many stakeholders. You may wear many hats in different ways. So as we think of the totality of your life over time, what's your portfolio of passions? How do you choose—as individuals, as society, as organizations, as humans and families with our loved ones and friends—to not just spend your time and resources, but really invest your time, resources, and spirit into areas, people, and contexts that bring you meaning and where you can build a legacy? So it's not so much advice, but more like a north star." - Sabastian V. Niles Fresh out of the studio, Sabastian Niles, President and Chief Legal Officer at Salesforce Global, joins us to explore how trust and responsibility shape the future of enterprise AI. He shares his journey from being a high-tech corporate lawyer and trusted advisor to leading AI governance at a company whose number one value is trust, reflecting on the evolution from automation to agentic AI that can reason, plan, and execute tasks alongside humans. Sabastian explains how Agentforce 3.0 enables agent-to-agent interactions and human-AI collaboration through command centers and robust guardrails. He highlights how organizations are leveraging trusted AI for personalized customer experiences, while Salesforce's Office of Ethical and Humane Use operationalizes trust through transparency, explainability, and auditability. Addressing the black box problem in AI, he emphasizes that guardrails provide confidence to move faster rather than creating barriers. Closing the conversation, Sabastian shares his vision on what great looks like for trusted agentic AI at scale.

It's Monday and we are celebrating Emma's return from her honeymoon. On today's show we cover the devastation from flash flooding in central Texas. We continue to dig deeper in the SENR Bill. It will take a month to sort through this monstrous piece of legislation. In the fun half we listen to the least fun person in the world, Border Czar Tom Holman as he foams at the mouth over the funding that ICE and CBP secured. Joe Rogan is surprised and disappointed over who ICE is targeting. It's not as if mass deportations now was a campaign slogan or anything. All that plus phone calls.

Send us a textReady to navigate the complex world of AI governance without getting lost in legal jargon? This episode delivers a masterclass in building ethical AI frameworks that actually work for your business. Global tech lawyer and fractional general counsel Gayle Gorvett breaks down the essential guardrails every company needs before diving headfirst into AI implementation. From her work with Duke University's AI working groups to real-world enterprise applications, Gayle reveals why treating AI like the "shiny new toy" without proper governance is a recipe for disaster. Whether you're protecting customer data or safeguarding your company's future, this customer success playbook episode provides the foundational knowledge to approach AI adoption with confidence and compliance.Detailed AnalysisThe AI revolution isn't just changing how we work—it's fundamentally reshaping the legal and ethical landscape of business operations. Gayle Gorvett's expertise in AI governance comes at a crucial time when companies are rushing to implement AI solutions without adequate safeguards. Her comparison of current AI hype to the blockchain frenzy of a decade ago serves as a sobering reminder that sustainable innovation requires thoughtful planning, not just technological enthusiasm.The multidisciplinary approach Gayle advocates represents a significant shift in how businesses should structure their AI initiatives. Gone are the days when technology decisions could be made in isolation. Modern AI governance demands collaboration between business functions, technical teams, and legal counsel—creating a new paradigm for cross-functional leadership in customer success organizations.For customer success professionals, the implications extend far beyond internal operations. When AI systems interact with customer data, handle support tickets, or predict customer behavior, the governance framework becomes a direct reflection of your company's commitment to customer trust. Gayle's emphasis on informing customers about AI usage highlights how transparency has evolved from a nice-to-have to a business imperative.The Duke AI Risk Framework and NIST guidelines she references provide actionable starting points for organizations feeling overwhelmed by the governance challenge. These resources democratize access to enterprise-level AI governance, making sophisticated risk assessment accessible to companies of all sizes. This democratization aligns perfectly with the customer success playbook philosophy of scalable, repeatable processes that drive consistent outcomes.Perhaps most importantly, Gayle's 26-year perspective in technology law offers historical context that many AI discussions lack. Her experience through previous technology waves—from the early internet boom to blockchain—provides valuable pattern recognition for identifying sustainable AI strategies versus fleeting trends. This wisdom becomes particularly relevant for customer success leaders who must balance innovation with the reliability their customers depend on.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at htKevin's offeringPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

In this week's Monday episode, we explore the shifting dynamics of space governance with Chilean space policy expert Victoria Valdivia Cerda.Dominic and Victoria examine how the growing entanglement between state power and commercial space actors is reshaping global norms. They discuss the challenges posed by the monopolisation of low Earth orbit, the blurred boundaries between public infrastructure and private control, and the risks of regulatory fragmentation. Starlink, as a prominent example, illustrates how a commercial platform can evolve into a geopolitical actor — raising urgent questions about accountability, access, and influence in orbit.Victoria shares insights on the vulnerabilities of relying on a single private actor for global connectivity, particularly in times of crisis and disaster. She warns of the risks posed to democratic sovereignty, equitable access, and orbital sustainability when commercial dominance outpaces international regulation. The conversation also highlights Latin America's growing role in space, Chile's forward-leaning defense strategy, and the urgent need for multilateral rules to prevent future orbital conflicts.Victoria Valdivia Cerda is a Global Fellow at the European Space Policy Institute and lectures on space policy at Chile's National Academy of Strategic and Political Studies. She has contributed to Chile's national defense whitepapers and is a rising voice in international space governance, calling for smarter, more inclusive policymaking in orbit.The International Risk Podcast is a must-listen for senior executives, board members, and risk advisors. This weekly podcast dives deep into international relations, emerging risks, and strategic opportunities. Hosted by Dominic Bowen, Head of Strategic Advisory at one of Europe's top risk consulting firms, the podcast brings together global experts to share insights and actionable strategies. With over 20 years of experience managing complex operations in high-risk environments, combined with his roles as a public speaker and university lecturer, Dominic is uniquely positioned to guide these conversations.

What happens when you put one of America's leading healthcare governance experts in conversation with a veteran industry insider? You get a rare, unfiltered look behind the curtain of hospital boardrooms where life-and-death decisions get made every day.Jamie Orlikoff, renowned governance consultant and active health system board member, joins host Nathan Kaufman to reveal the dramatic transformation of healthcare governance from ceremonial volunteer boards to professionalized leadership structures. With startling candor, Orlikoff explains that what once made hospital boards work—community connections and social relationships—now often prevents them from making necessary but difficult decisions.The conversation exposes the paradoxes at the heart of American healthcare: hospitals becoming larger yet operating on thinner margins; costs rising for consumers while systems struggle financially; everyone demanding lower prices until it affects services they personally need. "Everybody hates hospitals until they need them," Orlikoff observes, capturing the fundamental tension healthcare leaders must navigate.Most provocatively, Orlikoff reveals that only about 5% of hospital boards currently operate at the level of "best governance practices" needed to address today's healthcare challenges. The majority function at merely "good" or "normative" levels—an approach increasingly insufficient as financial pressures mount and quality concerns persist. With medical errors remaining the third leading cause of death in America, the stakes couldn't be higher.You'll learn why more health systems are recruiting directors from outside their communities, why board compensation has become the norm rather than the exception, and why the traditional volunteer model is giving way to professional governance structures that can make tough decisions when necessary.Whether you work in healthcare, serve on a board, or simply want to understand how hospital decisions affect your care options, this episode provides an insider's guide to the hidden power structures shaping American healthcare.

Happy Fourth of July! I'm attending a wedding today, so this episode is from the vault, in a way, although it's its first time on Statecraft. I originally published this essay in January of 2022 on Mirror, shortly after my wife had joined the core team of a DAO that was attempting to acquire a first-edition copy of the US Constitution. I had been reading a history of the constitutional convention, and it seemed fitting to write about it on a thematic site. Yes, July 4th is about the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. Cut me some slack, please!You can find the transcript for this episode and many others at www.statecraft.pub.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Jon Charbonneau and Ryan Watkins to unpack the bombshell news of Robinhood Chain—an Arbitrum-based network debuting tokenized U.S. stocks, 3× crypto perps, and that head-scratching $500 K liquidity cap. From riffing on whether proof-of-stake yields are just “money in a box,” to debating Solana's first U.S. staked ETF, to sizing up the looming perp wars between Robinhood and Coinbase, the crew maps a common thread: corporate chains and regulatory work-arounds are colliding with crypto's decentralization ideals, forcing builders, traders, and even ETF hawks to rethink where real security, fairness, and opportunity will live next.

In this explosive episode of Bitcoin Backstage, Trace Mayer—early Bitcoin investor, creator of Proof of Keys, and one of the earliest Bitcoin bloggers—returns to the spotlight to dissect the past, present, and future of Bitcoin. Interviewed live at the Bitcoin Conference by Isabella Santos, Mayer drops hard truths about central banking, strategic reserves, proof of keys, and the global monetary shift already underway.From dissecting the fractional reserve system to revealing what really happened during the Blocksize Wars, Mayer also explains why Bitcoin is outperforming gold, how the U.S. might use BTC as a reserve asset, and what's holding back its evolution as a medium of exchange. This is Bitcoin history, macro insight, and monetary rebellion all in one.
The attack in democracy under President Donald Trump in the United States is both broader and deeper than you think. In this timely conversation with Carl LeVan, Professor and Chair of Politics, Governance, and Economics at American University – but speaking only in his personal capacity – we hear about the way that the government has attempted to silence critical voices by intimidating a remarkably wide range of institutions from law firms to universities and on to civil society groups and the media. This new challenge has led to the emergence of fresh sites of resistance, with new alliances and coalitions being formed outside of old structures. This podcast is therefore an essential guide not only to size and scale of the threat to democracy in Africa today, but also to the shape of the fightback to come. Guest: A. Carl LeVan is Professor and Chair of Politics, Governance, and Economics at American University. A policy engaged researcher who has experience on both sides of the divide, Carl's research centers on political institutions, democratization, and governance. He authored Contemporary Nigerian Politics: Competition in a Time of Transition and Terror (Cambridge 2019) and co-edited The Oxford Handbook of Nigerian Politics (2018). His work also includes Constituents before Assembly (2017) and studies on Boko Haram, East African power-sharing, and U.S. political trust. LeVan is a Research Associate at the University of Pretoria's Centre for the Study of the United States and serves on the editorial boards of Governance and Journal of Modern African Studies. Before his PhD from UC San Diego, he advised Nigeria's National Assembly and worked in the U.S. Congress, giving him distinctive insights into the most important political struggles of our time. Presenter: Dr Nic Cheeseman is the Professor of Democracy and International Development at the University of Birmingham and Founding Director of CEDAR.

Pricing is a critical lever for managed service providers (MSPs), SaaS providers, and tech companies, yet many organizations treat it as a one-time event rather than an ongoing process. Dan Balcauski, founder and chief pricing officer at Product Tranquility, emphasizes the importance of viewing pricing as a living system that requires continuous iteration and governance. He argues that pricing should be closely tied to the value a company provides, especially in a competitive landscape where both value and market conditions are constantly changing. Balcauski distinguishes between price metrics and pricing models, explaining that many executives mistakenly focus solely on the price itself rather than the broader context of how pricing is structured. He uses the example of McDonald's to illustrate how price metrics can vary based on customer needs and operational viability. By understanding the nuances of pricing metrics and models, companies can better align their pricing strategies with the value they deliver to different customer segments. The conversation also delves into the emerging trends of usage-based and outcome-based pricing. While usage-based pricing is gaining traction, Balcauski cautions that it can lead to confusion due to its broad interpretation. He suggests that outcome-based pricing, while appealing, is challenging to implement effectively because of the difficulty in establishing clear attribution for outcomes. Instead, he proposes a focus on output-based pricing, which measures intermediate outputs that can be more easily quantified. To ensure effective pricing governance, Balcauski advocates for clear ownership and processes within organizations. He stresses the need for companies to define their pricing goals and understand the relationship between customer segments, value, and competition. By embedding pricing governance into their operations, businesses can create a structured approach to pricing that adapts to changing market conditions and customer needs, ultimately leading to better financial outcomes.

Recorded at Metatopia 2024 Presented by Jason Pitre Law, like game design, is fundamentally about guiding human behavior. If you don't want people to resolve their problems with axes, you create a rule saying axe-murder is not acceptable or find a way to prevent people from having axes. In this panel, we will discuss how games treat law, governance, and society and what lessons those real world subjects can hold for designers.

Liberals, particularly classical liberals and libertarians, have too narrow a view of power. They focus on government force, or the threat of government force, and ignore all the other ways power is exercised in society. And the way classical liberals and libertarians imagine the fully autonomous self is at odds with our deep cultural embeddedness and the social construction of our identities, our ways of seeing, and the concepts through which we come to understand ourselves and the world.That's the argument my guest sets out in his new book, which asks classical liberals and libertarians to take seriously the analysis of power, knowledge, and identify set out by the French theorist Michel Foucault. And, as Mark Pennington further argues in Foucault and Liberal Political Economy: Power, Knowledge, and Freedom, taking Foucault seriously strengthens the foundations of liberalism and makes it better able to respond to illiberal critiques.Pennington is Professor of Political Economy and Public Policy in the Department of Political Economy, King's College, University of London, and is Director of the Centre for the Study of Governance and Society.We discuss Foucault's ideas, and introduce them for listeners who know nothing about his theories. And we show how they can point to liberal conclusions, including individual rights and a free market economy. Mark's book is the book I've been wanting someone to write a long time, and it not only doesn't disappoint but is, I think, one of the most import books in the liberal tradition in decades.Join the ReImagining Liberty community and discuss this episode with your fellow listeners.Support the show and get episodes ad-free.Produced by Landry Ayres.

During the second week of Blackest History Month, we continue to seek insights from Carter G. Woodson to fuel the momentum of historical memory as a device for breaking through the noise, distraction, and disruption of contemporary events.Neely Fuller Jr. (1929-2025), an early proponent of what has been labeled “Anti-Racist” thinking, contended in 1971 that “If you do not understand White Supremacy (Racism)—what it is and how it works—everything else that you understand will only confuse you.” He, Woodson, and countless others' lives and thoughts should help us develop our best thinking on Governance by forming a fortifying genealogy in the face of serially hostile Social Structure activity. This includes strategies like the so-called “Bannon Strategy” currently at work in the US federal government—a barrage of manufactured crises designed to seize control of political and economic levers of power.Through all of this, the need for focus and deliberate action in the face of systemic distraction must be emphasized. A question emerges: How do we break from a punishing cycle of serial reaction, understanding how to use the interplay between study and practice? Answers can be found in applying the “momentum of memory” to propel forward action.Carter Woodson's approach of slow, deliberate study and organized community-grounded activity serves as a foundation for mass action and collective learning, urging us to build a compendium of knowledge to guide our future. The key is that study, when properly understood, will lead to anti-oppressive action, fostering empowerment.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
When I last spoke with Gaurav Kapoor five years ago, we were in the thick of a global pandemic. Remote work was still a novelty for many, AI was a distant concept for most businesses, and regulatory frameworks were trying to keep pace with the speed of technological change. Fast forward to today, and the conversation around AI and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) has shifted dramatically. This made it the perfect time for a long-overdue catch-up. In this episode, I welcomed back Gaurav, Vice Chairman and Co-founder of MetricStream, to discuss the changing face of GRC in an AI-driven world. AI has now reached a level of ubiquity that places it alongside electricity and Wi-Fi as a foundational layer of both business and everyday life. But with that integration comes risk, and with risk comes the need for smarter, more adaptive governance. Gaurav shared how AI is no longer just about efficiency gains. It is becoming embedded into the fabric of enterprise risk frameworks, from real-time regulatory monitoring to predictive analytics and risk forecasting. We talked about the impact of the current political climate, including policy shifts following President Trump's return to office and how deregulation narratives are colliding with the complexity of global compliance expectations. This was not just a theoretical discussion. Gaurav broke down real-world use cases that show how large enterprises are navigating everything from redundant compliance testing to emerging threats discovered through AI-driven analysis. He also spoke candidly about the challenges ahead, how companies can fall behind if they wait too long to modernize their frameworks, and what is at stake when they fail to build trust into their AI systems. So how do you evolve GRC in an age where the pace of change is relentless? What role does AI really play in risk leadership today? And how can companies move from reactive to proactive without losing control? Join me as we explore the next chapter of GRC with one of its leading voices.

In the rapidly accelerating world of Artificial Intelligence, the pace of innovation can feel overwhelming. From groundbreaking advancements to the ongoing debate about governance and ethical implications, AI is not just a tool; it's a transformative force. As we race towards super intelligence and navigate increasingly sophisticated models, how do we ensure that human values remain at the core of this technological revolution? How do we, especially in the trust-based nonprofit sector, lead with intentionality and ensure AI serves humanity rather than superseding it? In this episode, Nathan and Scott dive into the relentless evolution of AI, highlighting Meta's staggering $15 billion investment in the race for super intelligence and the critical absence of robust regulation. They reflect on the essential shift from viewing AI adoption as a finite "destination" to embracing it as an ongoing "journey." Nathan shares insights on how AI amplifies human capabilities, particularly for those who are "marginally" good at certain skills, advocating for finding your "why" and offloading tasks AI can do better. Scott discusses his recent AI governance certification, underscoring the complexities and lack of "meat on the bone" in US regulations compared to the EU AI Act. The conversation also explores the concept of AI agents, offering practical tips for leveraging them, even for those with no coding experience. They conclude with a powerful reminder: AI is a mirror reflecting our values, and the nonprofit sector has a vital role in shaping its ethical future.

China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine.

Is nationalism always bad—or does the Bible have a more nuanced view of nations, borders, and political life? In this fascinating episode, Israeli philosopher Yoram Hazony joins Dru Johnson to explore the political vision of the Old Testament, from the Table of Nations in Genesis to the prophetic hope of nations learning from Israel in peace. Hazony explains how the Bible's anti-empire stance emerges from the stories of Babel, Assyria, and Babylon—and why God's vision for humanity includes independent nations with borders, traditions, and space to seek Him freely. Together they unpack how Israel's kingship, laws, and tribal structure offer a model of checks, balances, and moral limits on power. The conversation also tackles modern questions: What can Christians today learn from biblical nationalism? How does this compare with movements like Christian nationalism in the U.S.? And why does Hazony see so many modern Christian intellectuals missing the Old Testament's political teachings?

“As the world braced for intensifying international conflicts between countries, corporations and cultural movements, the final week of 2024 also saw a notable intensification of class conflict within the ranks of the nativist MAGA movement, as tensions grew between its controlling elites and its increasingly vocal white nationalist base. Often referred to as a “MAGA Civil War,” this internal rift was fueled by provocative statements from figures like “President” Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, both immigrants who made pro-immigrant comments in conflict with millions of MAGA nativists. This turmoil exposes the fragility of what is too often perceived as a unified coalition of ideological and cultural allies. In reality, this fragile alliance, however toxic and harmful, is held together by fear, hatred, and anxiety rather than deeply shared values of cooperation and shared responsibility.In contrast, the Kwanzaa season—a time for Pan African solidarity and Black cultural reflection—presents an alternative vision of unity at family, community, national and international levels. During this period, tensions between Social Structure and Governance were laid bare in symbolic convergences such as the live-streamed “Beyoncé Bowl” on Christmas Day. This moment of Cultural Meaning-Making highlighted Africana Ways of Knowing, with Knowles-Carter continuing her commitment to feeding Africana Movement and Memory. While MAGA followers grapple with the fracturing and divisive consequences of their illusory politics of white nativism, Kwanzaa offers powerful reminders that Africana Ways of Knowing emphasize collective work and responsibility. Can we overwhelm impulses to search for differences among ourselves with a rededication to the principle of Ujima, understanding that working together for the common good is essential to survival and progress?” —Dr. CarJOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
