    As Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's war against the world enhances regional and global threats to the planet, this week's session of In Class With Carr centers community self-determination as a strategy for both resisting oppression and changing the deteriorating Social Structure of the Modern World System. Drawing on the momentum of memory rooted in living movement institutions, we pose a central question: How do we free our minds so that we can liberate our spaces? Answering that question requires challenging the illusion of inevitability under a dying empire. It means building independent institutions while also reimagining shared spaces in order to remake them, infusing them with our Governance protocols and Ways of Knowing, all in our collective interest. Central to this work is the power of storytelling to restore collective memory, cultivate disciplined political clarity and strengthen global solidarity—transforming hope into collective positive action.Are you a member of Knarrative?

    The Best of Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa

    Bongani Bingwa speaks to TK Pooe, Associate Professor of Statecraft and Policy at the African School of Governance and Visiting Lecturer at the Wits School of Governance, about the growing concern that the global rules-based order may be unravelling. As tensions and war intensify in the Middle East, questions are being asked about whether international norms and institutions still have the power to restrain stronger nations. If powerful countries can attack or invade others with little consequence, what does that mean for smaller and middle-power states like South Africa? Pooe examines whether global power is increasingly determined by strength rather than rules, and what it means when the international community can condemn actions but struggles to enforce accountability. In a shifting geopolitical landscape, he also explores how South Africa should interpret and defend its national interests, and what strategic choices the country may face if the traditional global order continues to weaken. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

    In this episode of Risk! Engineers Talk Governance, due diligence engineers Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis how AI in Risk Management?Richard begins with a deep-dive into how large language models work, and where they fall short. He explains why AI systems are sophisticated inference engines rather than true reasoning machines, and why that distinction matters enormously for high-stakes decision-making and risk management.The conversation covers the parallels between AI and Monte Carlo simulation (great for likely scenarios, unreliable for rare critical events), the growing wave of fabricated legal citations produced by AI tools, and why the common law system itself mirrors how large language models operate.Gaye and Richard then bring the discussion back to governance and what does responsible AI use look like for boards and organisations? Who carries liability when a decision is based on AI output? And how do you ensure the sources AI cites are actually real?They conclude by agreeing that AI is a powerful tool for gathering information faster than ever before, but it demands that essential second layer of human thought, verification, and documented decision-making. They reiterate that thinking, and SFAIRP, is hard. If you'd like us to cover a specific topic or have any feedback we'd love to hear from you.

    MSPWell Launch Reveals Governance Gaps in Channel's Mental Health Initiatives

    The episode centers on a structural governance gap within the managed services industry as it attempts to address mental health using relationship-driven models typical of event and community management. This approach is exemplified by the launch of MSPWell, a not-for-profit mental wellness initiative incorporated in Ontario, Canada, targeting participants in the IT channel. The initiative operates as a live community—particularly via Discord—without formalized clinical oversight or published operational guardrails such as moderation standards, crisis escalation protocols, or sponsor influence controls. Evidence for an urgent governance concern is provided by industry data and operational decisions. According to MSPWell, burnout affects significant percentages of the workforce—citing an 82% burnout risk from a Mercer report and 66% from separate research. Despite the recurrence of staffing challenges in the MSP industry, MSPWell's infrastructure is underway with participation at industry events and vendor sponsorship, but formal governance documentation remains incomplete. The initiative explicitly confirms the absence of licensed mental health professionals in published leadership or advisory roles, positioning its support as peer-led. Supporting developments highlight how rapid community launch and sponsor-driven funding amplify risks when core protections are missing. Early coverage focused on recognizable names and event presence, while Dave Sobel emphasizes that, in mental health-adjacent contexts, moderation, privacy, and escalation protocols are not only differentiators but essential safeguards. At present, MSPWell's Discord community operates without visible guidelines or documented procedures, which exposes participants to predictable failure modes such as oversharing, privacy breaches, and harmful peer advice. Operationally, MSPs and IT service providers face heightened liability when participating in or supporting such initiatives without robust controls. Dave Sobel advises operators to request moderation, crisis, and data retention policies before endorsing participation, to treat involvement as networking rather than clinical support, and to monitor for the integration of licensed professionals into governance. The absence of enforceable governance exposes both individuals and sponsoring vendors to reputational and legal risk, and sets problematic precedent for future wellness platforms in the industry. 00:00 MSPWell Builds Mental-Health Platform on Sponsor-Funded Community Model 03:21 Guardrails, Guidelines, and Moderation  06:15 The Consequences 08:09 Why Do We Care? & What to Consider Supported by:  TimeZest

    In this episode of Scouting for Growth, Sabine VanderLinden welcomes industry veteran Karl Grandl, now of Miss Moneypenny Technologies, for a wide-ranging conversation on the real transformation underway in financial services and insurance.  Sabine VanderLinden sets the stage by emphasizing that digitization is no longer enough—true change means re-architecting operating models for velocity, intelligence, and trust at scale. Together, they explore the pitfalls of strategic complacency, the opportunities provided by European regulation, and the immense potential of intelligence layers and wallet technology to redefine how institutions interact with customers.  The discussion moves from strategic leadership to practical use cases—from frictionless onboarding and claims to agentic customer experiences—offering a roadmap for both incumbents and challenger firms looking to thrive in the era of real-time risk and embedded governance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reflecting on my conversation with Karl Grandl, what became clear is that transformation in financial services isn't just about digitizing legacy systems—it's about fundamentally re-architecting the industry. For decades, institutions like banks and insurers were built for stability, but the pace of change and customer expectation today demands real-time, intelligent, and seamless experiences. Simply layering new digital tools over old processes leads to fragmentation, not progress. We're stepping into the era of frontier firms: organizations powered by intelligence, human-agent collaboration, and embedded governance. As Karl emphasized, automation by itself doesn't mean autonomy or intelligence. Instead, success hinges on evolving operating models and creating trust at scale. Regulatory changes, particularly in Europe—such as the EU AI Act and the introduction of digital identity wallets—are not burdens, but strategic advantages. They force discipline, drive infrastructure modernization, and create opportunities to offer frictionless experiences for 450 million citizens. Karl's insight into customer experience “activation layers” resonated deeply. True transformation is about orchestrating intelligent touchpoints so insurance feels invisible and effortless, yet highly trustworthy, especially at moments of service or claim. This approach preserves the value of brokers and advisors, enhancing their roles as strategic risk partners instead of replacing them. Finally, leadership, not technology, is at the heart of transformation. The ability to articulate a clear vision and quickly demonstrate value is what distinguishes the winners. Real-time governance, compliance by design, and empathetic human engagement are becoming essential to build—and keep—customer trust. The challenge for every executive now is not just to optimize yesterday's operations but to actively build tomorrow's intelligence layer. The frontier is being defined now, and it begins with a leadership mindset ready for structural redesign and velocity. BEST MOMENTS "Automation is not autonomy, efficiency is not intelligence, and digital channels without orchestration create digital fragmentation."  "European regulation is our unfair advantage. It's not just about discipline, it's about infrastructure."  "You have to evolve—from transaction intermediary into a strategic risk advisor, augmented by intelligence that handles routine so you can focus on relationships, empathy, and judgment."  "Governance is about to become the most strategic capability. When compliance agents and financial AI are embedded in every workflow, governance shifts from retrospective reporting to real-time intervention."  "The frontier firm is not defined by how much AI it deploys; it is defined by how intelligently it integrates risk, compliance, capital, and customer experience." — Sabine VanderLinden ABOUT THE GUEST Karl Grandl is often dubbed an “insurance dinosaur,” with over 30 years in the industry spanning Swiss Life, GetSafe, WeFox, and now Miss Moneypenny Technologies. His experience spans product development, distribution, and embedded insurance, as well as scaling tech-driven aggregators across markets.  At Miss Moneypenny, Karl is spearheading the integration of wallet technology and intelligence layers, focusing on frictionless customer interaction and embedding trust and compliance by design.  An advocate for regulation as a strategic advantage and transformation as a leadership imperative, Karl is a sought-after voice for both legacy insurers and challenger MGAs looking to build tomorrow's intelligence-driven operating models.  Connect with him via LinkedIn or at upcoming events such as InsurTech Week and InsurTech Insights in London.

    Send a textThe Nonprofit Show launches its Global Edition with cohosts Julia C. Patrick and Matthew Murray (CEO, Expand PR / Expand Consultancy), taking listeners inside what it really looks like to start and operate a charity/NGO in the United Kingdom—and why global expansion is as much a business decision as it is a mission decision.Matthew opens with the on-the-ground reality that “every culture has its own nuances… laws and rules,” and that expanding beyond your home country requires leaders to respect local norms, donor behaviors, and governance expectations. The conversation quickly turns practical: Do Brits give? Matthew says yes—substantially—while noting economic pressures have shifted donor patterns. He also explains a key difference for revenue strategy: the UK doesn't mirror U.S.-style donor tax deductions, but it does offer Gift Aid, where government adds funding to eligible donations. As Matthew describes it, “25 pence for every pound donated,” meaning a £100 gift can become £125 for the charity—an important lever for fundraising planning, messaging, and cash forecasting.On governance and transparency, the UK's Charity Commission functions as a dedicated regulator for charities. Matthew emphasizes the public nature of filings and the reputational impact of being late or sloppy with reporting—because funders, partners, and major donors look. In the UK, board members are typically called trustees, are usually unpaid, and cannot be paid for the trustee role itself (though they may be compensated for a separate job). For organizations with global ambitions, Matthew shares a strategic advantage: non-UK residents can serve as trustees in Britain, which can simplify governance when launching a UK-based entity.The global discussion also contrasts donor culture. Matthew suggests UK donors may give differently than U.S. donors—often less driven by “momentary adrenaline” and more oriented toward longer-term loyalty—reinforcing the value of relationship, credibility, and consistency. Julia adds a caution for international leaders: expansion fails fast when it arrives with a “we'll fix you” mindset. The Global Edition's promise is clear: practical global learning that helps nonprofit executives expand responsibly, protect integrity, and build durable support across borders.#NonprofitBusiness #GlobalPhilanthropy #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

    Risk Moves Upstream: How Embedded Governance and Insurance Set New MSP Constraints

    Business of Tech

    The MSP market is undergoing a critical shift toward risk management as the central value proposition, with operational accountability now defined by the ability to produce defensible documentation and deliver rapid incident response. According to Dave Sobel, MSPs are no longer primarily offering stack management, but are increasingly brokering risk through cyber warranties, insurance underwriting, incident retainers, and AI governance frameworks. Those unable to support their claims with evidence and formal processes risk becoming mere facilitators for third-party terms and losing control over their margins. Recent developments reinforce this shift. A Splunk report finds that nearly all CISOs now view AI governance and risk management as their responsibility, citing threat actor sophistication as a primary driver. AI is assisting with event triage and data correlation, but verification—especially around AI-generated content—is unreliable, with detection tools struggling against advanced fakes. Insurance mechanisms are becoming productized with prioritized incident response, and legal intelligence is being embedded into MSP workflows. Vendors like N-able, Monjur, SentinelOne, and DocuSign are directly integrating financial, legal, and governance functions into their offerings, fundamentally altering client and vendor relationships. Adjacent stories illustrate volatility in traditional safeguards and the operational reality of adaptive threats. CISA leadership changes indicate instability in public response institutions. AI-powered malware exemplifies the challenge: ESET's PromptSpy uses Gemini to continuously adapt its persistence, outpacing static detection models. Insurance underwriters are increasingly demanding machine-verifiable evidence of controls, using detailed questionnaires to distinguish autonomous AI from marketing claims. The risk is no longer just technical; it is structural. For MSPs and IT leaders, operational posture is now shaped by an ecosystem of embedded warranties, legal terms, governance requirements, and adaptive threats. The ability to document, defend, and productize risk controls becomes a baseline for credibility and insurance eligibility. Failure to build evidence pipelines and clarify vendor-imposed liabilities exposes service providers to compounded risk. The practical implication is a necessity for MSPs to treat governance and detection as measurable, documented capabilities—not assumptions or routine paperwork. Three things to know today: 00:00 CISOs Own Governance, Detectors Lag Fakes, Response Gets Contracted — Accountability Follows 03:14 N-able, SentinelOne, DocuSign Move Risk Management Into the Stack — MSP Terms Follow 05:10 CISOs Want Agentic AI, But Insurers and Adaptive Malware Are Forcing the Timeline 07:32 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  CometBackUpSmall Biz Thoughts Community

    This conversation explores why generative AI is not just another automation layer but a shift into autonomy. The key idea is that we cannot retrofit AI into old procedural workflows and expect it to behave. Once autonomy is introduced, systems will drift, show emergent behaviour, and act in ways we did not explicitly script. The real architectural shift is not about controlling every step, but about defining clear boundaries. Instead of telling AI exactly how to do the work, we must define what it cannot do, what it is allowed to touch, what decisions it can make, and what goal it must achieve. Governance and design must be built together from the start, not added later.

    Reichen klassische Planungsprozesse noch aus, um langfristig die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu sichern – oder braucht es ein grundlegend neues Strategieverständnis? In dieser Folge des The Agenda Podcasts von Sherpany, erläutert Dr. Zeno Staub – Verwaltungsrat von Vontobel und Präsident des Universitätsrats St. Gallen – wie Vorstände und Aufsichtsräte die Entscheidungsfindung in Zeiten der Ungewissheit und KI in einer von stärken können. Dr. Staub stellt ein strategisches Modell vor, das die klassische Langzeitplanung mit agilen, KI-gestützten Entscheidungszyklen verbindet. Im Mittelpunkt seines Ansatzes steht die Kombination eines klar definierten „Nordstern“ mit einem dynamischen, kontinuierlich aktualisierten Portfolio strategischer Maßnahmen. Dies hilft Führungskräften, sich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren und sich gleichzeitig schnell an neue Marktsignale anzupassen. Warum klassische 3- bis 5-Jahres-Planung in volatilen, fragmentierten Märkten an ihre Grenzen stößt – und was Vorstände stattdessen tun sollten. Wie ein klar definierter „Nordstern“ als strategischer Kompass funktioniert, der Unternehmen auch in schnelllebigen Organisationen auf Kurs hält. Warum Strategien oft nicht aufgrund von Kapital- oder Fachwissensmangel scheitern, sondern aufgrund von Misalignment zwischen Teams und Führungsebene. Wie KI die Phasen „Beobachten“ und „Orientieren“ des OODA-Loops skaliert und beschleunigt, sodass Führungskräfte Signale früher erkennen, Komplexität besser verstehen und genauere strategische Entscheidungen treffen. Wo die Grenzen der KI in der Strategiearbeit liegen – insbesondere in Bezug auf Verantwortung, Urteilsvermögen und Rechenschaftspflicht. Wie Vorstände KI nutzen können, um Blind Spots, aufkommende Risiken und alternative strategische Szenarien aufzudecken. Warum zukünftige strategische Exzellenz von Führungskräften abhängt, die über das durchschnittliche Weltwissen hinausdenken und vorherrschende Annahmen hinterfragen. Chapters: 00:00 Einführung: Strategie in volatilen Märkten neu denken 01:20 Warum Strategie weiterhin zentral bleibt 02:00 Grenzen klassischer 3 bis 5-Jahres-Planung 03:39 North Star als langfristiger Kompass 06:10 Guided Evolution und Initiativen-Portfolio 08:09 Observe, Orient, Decide, Act: Der moderne Strategiezyklus 11:00 Neue Unsicherheiten: Geopolitik, Demografie, Technologie 13:04 KI als Skalierung von Beobachtung und Orientierung 18:03 KI im Board-Kontext: Einsatz, Grenzen und Verantwortung 23:20 Warum jetzt der Zeitpunkt zum Handeln istThe Agenda wird von Ingo Notthoff moderiert – Podcast-Produzent und -Moderator mit langjähriger Erfahrung in Führungs- und Managementrollen auf Konzern-, Mittelstands- und Verbandsebene. Sie sind an tiefgehenden strategischen Themen für Vorstände, Aufsichts- und Verwaltungsräte interessiert?

    "The board should govern, and the executive director should lead the day-to-day operations. When those lines blur, that's when things get messy." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, The Animal Rights Foundation, The Trapper's Tips & Tricks Workshop, and The Community Cat Clinic. Strong missions save lives but strong governance sustains them. In this essential episode of the Community Cats Podcast, Stacy LeBaron welcomes back Tim Crum, CEO and founder of Animal Shelter Services, for a deep dive into nonprofit board governance. If you've ever wondered what a board of directors should be doing (versus what they often end up doing), this conversation is for you. Tim breaks down the core purpose of a nonprofit board: governance, not operations. From fiduciary responsibility to strategic planning, he outlines the three legal duties every board member must understand—duty of loyalty, duty of care, and duty of obedience (think "LOCO" to remember them). He also shares real-world examples of common governance missteps, including conflicts of interest, related board members, executive directors serving as voting board members, and the risks of poorly documented board minutes. For growing animal welfare organizations—especially those transitioning from all-volunteer to staffed operations—this episode offers practical guidance on when to hire an executive director, how to structure bylaws and policies, and why board composition matters. Tim also addresses board giving requirements, succession planning, and how to recruit skilled board members by first getting your "house in order." Whether you're a founder wearing too many hats, a seasoned board member, or stepping into governance for the first time, this episode provides clear, actionable insights to help your organization grow responsibly, ethically, and sustainably.

The Truth About HIPAA, AI, and Client Data In this article, Person Centered Tech breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in HIPAA compliance: de-identification. It clarifies the difference between simply "removing identifiers" and meeting HIPAA's strict legal standards for de-identification (Safe Harbor or Expert Determination). The piece explains why narrative clinical information is often inherently identifying, why a session transcript cannot realistically be considered de-identified, and how AI systems introduce heightened risks of re-identification. It reinforces a critical takeaway for practice leaders: HIPAA sets the floor—not the ceiling—for protecting client information, and governance must keep pace with emerging technologies.

    Common Mistakes During Family Business Estate Planning Estate planning is technical. Family business estate planning is emotional. Because in a family enterprise, wealth is never just capital. It represents identity. Sacrifice. Legacy. Control. Protection. And when estate planning is driven by fear instead of preparation, families don't just protect assets — they unintentionally weaken the people who must steward them. In this episode of The Family Biz Show, wealth psychologist Jim Grubman, co-author of Wealth 3.0, challenges the most common assumptions shaping multi-generational estate planning. What he reveals reframes everything.   The 70% Myth That Built an Industry You've heard it: "Seventy percent of wealth transfers fail by the second generation." It's repeated in boardrooms. It's cited in advisor presentations. It's used to justify complex trust structures and control mechanisms. But where did it actually come from? Jim explains how limited, narrow research became accepted as universal truth — and how that narrative shaped decades of defensive estate planning. When founders believe generational decline is inevitable, they design structures around protection instead of development. Fear becomes policy.   Exposure Is Not Preparation Many G1 leaders assume: "My kids grew up around this business. They've seen it. They'll figure it out." But as one next-generation leader put it: "Just because I was along for the ride doesn't mean I know how to drive." Estate planning often transfers ownership without transferring capability. Preparation is not passive. It requires: Intentional financial education Decision-making responsibility Governance participation Clear communication Without these, wealth transitions become fragile.   The Hidden Estate Planning Variable: Parenting The quiet truth behind most generational breakdowns? It's not tax law. It's not structure. It's not even governance. It's parenting. Jim calls it the "hidden dirty little secret" of wealth. Families often assume they can raise children the same way they were raised — even when their economic reality has completely changed. But wealth changes context. Context requires adaptation. If parenting doesn't evolve, tension accumulates. And no trust structure can fix that.   The Language That Shapes Legacy One of the most powerful insights in this episode is linguistic. "Shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations." It's not even a complete sentence. There's no verb. No inevitability. Just assumption. Yet families internalize it as destiny. And when inevitability is assumed, estate plans become restrictive. Control increases. Trust decreases. Narrative drives structure. Structure drives outcomes.   Adaptation Is the Real Strategy Successful multi-generational families ask three questions: What should we keep? What should we let go? What must we learn? Estate planning is not static. Every generation faces: Different markets Different personalities Different spouses Different pressures Replication does not guarantee continuity. Adaptation does.   Key Takeaways • The "70% wealth transfer failure" statistic is often overstated and misunderstood. • Fear-based estate planning leads to over-control and restrictive structures. • Exposure to wealth does not equal readiness to manage it. • Preparation for generational transition must be active and intentional. • Parenting and communication are central to long-term wealth continuity. • Language and inherited narratives shape governance decisions. • Estate planning should focus on developing capable stewards — not just protecting assets.   The Real Purpose of Family Business Estate Planning Estate planning is not primarily about minimizing taxes. It is about aligning: Wealth and capability Structure and trust Protection and preparation Family identity and future leadership When estate planning is fear-driven, families fragment. When it is preparation-driven, families flourish. This episode is a masterclass in reframing estate planning from defensive preservation to intentional generational development. Because wealth doesn't fail. Preparation does.

    Anthropic Refuses Pentagon AI Demands; Burger King's AI Monitoring Raises Privacy Risks

    Anthropic's refusal to remove safeguards against mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons in its interactions with the Department of Defense establishes an explicit boundary on the use of AI in federal contracts. The company cited specific civic and legal risks, emphasizing that current AI systems are not reliable enough for autonomous weapon deployment and warning that government pressure on vendors to bypass statutory constraints poses broader accountability issues. This underscores a shift in liability for MSPs and IT providers—any weakening of safeguards under contract does not eliminate risk but instead transfers possible exposure down the technology supply chain. This position is reinforced by the lack of unconditional trust in military oversight, as highlighted by the Pentagon CTO's remarks, and by clear legal challenges, including violations of the Fourth Amendment and Department of Defense Directive 3000.09. Dave Sobel asserts that professional liability and cyber policies do not typically cover actions undertaken solely at government request where legal limits are breached. This increases the necessity for MSPs and IT leaders to verify that contract language explicitly defines acceptable AI use and to ensure written documentation before government or enterprise client demands arise. Additional analysis includes operational deployments of AI in service and workplace environments. Burger King's AI chatbot, Patty, and ServiceNow's autonomous request resolution underscore the friction between efficiency claims and trust gaps, as evidenced by a YouGov survey that found 68% of consumers lack confidence in AI customer service. Dave Sobel notes that MSP benchmarks tied to vendor ticket closure rates may not reflect real client satisfaction or risk, especially when legal requirements for monitoring and consent are not met. The episode further covers market reactions to speculative reports on AI-driven job displacement, studies demonstrating AI's failure to maintain human-like restraint in conflict scenarios, and IBM's valuation drop due to AI modernization tools. For MSPs and IT decision-makers, the practical takeaway is the need for documented governance, explicit contractual safeguards, and ongoing risk assessments when deploying or recommending AI solutions—particularly in environments where trust, human oversight, and insurability are not yet aligned with technical capability.

    In this AI Agent & Copilot Minute, Mason Siefert outlines how Microsoft's latest enhancements to Copilot Studio — especially the new tools in the Power CAT Copilot Studio Kit — are designed to bring structure, governance, and measurable quality to enterprise-scale AI agents. Key Takeaways Rubrics refinement: The headline feature in the updated kit is the rubrics refinement tool, which addresses a growing challenge in agentic AI operations — how to consistently and accurately grade agent responses. The tool introduces a repeatable feedback loop where teams define evaluation rubrics, compare AI-generated grades with human evaluations, and then refine instructions when the two don't align. The result is a more systematic, scalable way to ensure automated assessments meet human-level standards. Governance & visibility: Beyond evaluation, the kit strengthens oversight across the AI estate. A new compliance hub automatically flags configuration risks to help teams stay ahead of governance concerns. Conversation KPIs allow organizations to track agent performance without manually reviewing transcripts, and an agent inventory provides a centralized view of custom agents and the capabilities they rely on. Together, these features bring operational clarity to expanding AI environments. Looking ahead: As agentic systems scale, structured coordination between humans and AI will be critical. Tools like the rubrics refinement workflow signal a shift from experimentation to disciplined operations, where evaluation, compliance, and performance tracking are embedded into the lifecycle of every agent. Organizations that formalize these processes now will be better positioned to manage complexity and deliver trustworthy AI outcomes at scale. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

    Advocates are scrambling to raise money for rent for the families that are still in hiding and losing income due to the Minnesota ICE surge. A coalition of unions in Minnesota is calling for a rent strike in solidarity with those families starting March 1. Others are asking Governor Tim Walz to enact an eviction moratorium and rent relief payments for people unable to work during the surge of federal agents in the state. Advocates said they have crowdsourced hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the people in hiding, but that it is not sustainable for the long term. Gov. Walz said he can't enact a statewide eviction moratorium without declaring a peacetime emergency. So far, he has been unwilling to make that move. Professor Larry Jacobs, the founder and director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota, broke down the legal and political considerations facing the governor around an eviction moratorium.
