Kim and Kate dive into the rise of Mr. Beast and the making of Beast Games through a project management lens—not to critique content creation, but to examine what happens when vision outpaces execution. From sponsor behavior and scaling challenges to agile gone sideways, they unpack the risks of massive ambition without the systems to support it. If you've ever managed shifting priorities, difficult stakeholders, or a project that seemed to grow by the hour, this conversation will hit home. Grab a drink and join us for a fascinating look at project sponsors, leadership, and what real-world project management can learn from internet-scale production.

Send us Fan MailThis week's enterprise software developments further demonstrate how rapidly vendors are embedding agentic AI, governed automation, and composable data architectures into core enterprise workflows. Rootstock Software strengthened its manufacturing and warehouse execution strategy through the acquisition of Ascent Solutions, while Anaplan expanded its AI planning portfolio with CoModeler, Custom Analyst, and Agent Studio to accelerate enterprise planning automation. In the go-to-market space, Apollo.io acquired Pocus to build a more agentic revenue operations stack, and Zapier partnered with Rillet to connect general ledger workflows with thousands of operational applications. Meanwhile, Databricks introduced Lakewatch as an open, agentic SIEM platform built on the lakehouse architecture, and Oracle launched Fusion Agentic Applications designed to place coordinated AI agents directly inside ERP workflows. Governance and enterprise trust also emerged as central themes, with Relyance AI unveiling Lyo to monitor how AI agents interact with enterprise data, while Salesforce introduced AI Foundry to operationalize research into enterprise-ready AI models. Finally, Spade raised significant funding to transform messy transaction strings into finance-grade AI data, reinforcing how semantic normalization and governed enterprise context are becoming foundational to the next generation of AI-native enterprise systems.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors.

In this episode of The Broadband Bunch, host Pete Pizzutillo sits down with Rob Lawrence, Technology Strategist at Microsoft, to separate the reality of agentic AI from the growing hype surrounding autonomous systems. As organizations race to experiment with AI agents, Rob argues that the biggest challenges aren't the models themselves—they're the operating environments, governance frameworks, data quality, accountability structures, and organizational readiness required to deploy them successfully. Pete and Rob discuss why many AI pilots succeed while production deployments struggle, the return of disciplines like project portfolio management and process engineering, and why data governance may be the most important prerequisite for successful AI adoption. Rob also talks about the role of identity and permissions, the risks of poorly governed agents acting on flawed data, and why organizations need better observability into AI-driven workflows. Along the way, he shares advice for CIOs, CTOs, and broadband operators looking to move beyond experimentation and build a responsible foundation for agentic AI.

Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but also embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom visits with Mouhcine Jalili, VP of Growth – iGaming at Software Mind, on reframing iGaming compliance as a design, delivery, and platform challenge rather than an end-stage legal checklist. Mouhcine argues compliance failures often stem from siloed teams, fragmented legacy platforms, inconsistent vendor integrations (B2B2C), and release management across jurisdictions with differing rules (e.g., spin time, buy-bonus features). He emphasizes strong release governance, modular and configurable architectures, automated controls that cannot be bypassed, and real-time monitoring and alerts to prevent harm, including responsible gambling interventions based on early behavioral signals. Scaling successfully requires standardization and automation while allowing local configuration and avoiding post-acquisition data fragmentation. Over the next 3–5 years, he expects operational compliance to become more engineering- and data-driven, with tighter integration among compliance, product, and engineering teams.

At ACDIS 2026 I delivered an unofficial episode of Off the Record with my guest today: Tracy Ferro, Executive Director, System CDI for Medical University of South Carolina Health (MUSC). The “podcast” was delivered on stage, at the outpatient symposium. MUSC's OP CDI program is new and being built in flight, and Tracy and I presented on it together, running the session a bit like an episode of #OTR. Full disclosure: Norwood partnered with MUSC, large academic health system, to implement OP CDI. That was a challenge! As was the Chicago presentation. On today's episode we talk not only about MUSC's OP CDI efforts but the presentation itself, including the prep and leadup and “game day.” And much more on Tracy's unique leadership style and the importance of storytelling to drive home lessons (she's wonderful at this). Listen in as we discuss: Tracy's healthcare background, a memorable nursing experience, and path into CDI. The art of leadership: Style and lessons learned from childhood and beyond MUSC's outpatient CDI origins: The why behind the program What a pre-visit review looks like, including the use of Epic's Enhanced Risk Adjustment Framework. Governance, workflows, reporting, and early outcomes. Outpatient CDI impact and next steps for the new program Presenting at ACDIS 2026, including tips on prep and combatting stage nerves An unexpected Sharpie arm signature and a song for the OTR Spotify playlist...

A Shot in the Arm Media launches a new nine-part series produced in partnership with the UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences, built around the book Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century, co-authored by Dr. mike Reid (UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences) and Ambassador Eric Goosby (former U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and former PEPFAR Chief Medical Officer). In this prologue episode, Reid and Goosby explain why they wrote the book, what defined the “golden era” of global health since the early 2000s—the Global Fund, PEPFAR, Gavi—and why that progress now feels at risk under the Trump administration's cuts to USAID and PEPFAR. They introduce the book's central metaphor, borrowed from Cory Doctorow's concept of “enshittification,” to ask whether global health institutions are on the brink of decay, and argue that decline is a choice, not a destiny. The conversation previews the arc of the series—covering the old order, governance, financing, climate, technology and AI, and self-care for health workers—and closes with a call for honesty, bipartisanship and accountability, grounded in the legacies of Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko. 00:00 Introduction: Is the Greatest Threat to Global Health...

In just twelve months, the conversation around Agentic AI in insurance has changed dramatically.  What began as curiosity about autonomous AI agents has evolved into a much more practical discussion about implementation, governance, economics and competitive advantage.  In this special solo episode, InsTech's Zoja Wojcik reflects on the developments that have shaped the market since InsTech's first Agentic AI event in November 2025. Drawing on conversations with insurers, brokers, MGAs, technology providers and industry leaders, she explores how the industry has moved beyond experimentation and towards a more challenging question: where does the commercial value actually come from?  Along the way, you'll hear insights from Simon Torrance, Erdal Atakan, Gina Gill, Elena Maran, Max Richter and Ian Thompson, alongside examples of how organisations including CFC, McGill & Partners, AIG, Duck Creek and hyperexponential are bringing Agentic AI into real insurance operations.  Whether you're still trying to understand what Agentic AI means for insurance or already evaluating deployment opportunities, this episode offers a practical snapshot of where the market stands today and the questions leaders should be asking next.  Want to continue the conversation? Join us in London on July 7 for 'The age of Agentic AI: from strategy to commercial value'. In this episode:  00:00 - What is Agentic AI and why has it become one of insurance's most discussed technologies?  03:15 - Looking back at the industry's first major Agentic AI event in November 2025  05:45 - Simon Torrance on why Agentic AI should be viewed as a new workforce, not simply another software tool  06:20 - Early deployment examples from across the insurance market:  CFC's Lane Assist   McGill & Partners and Salesforce Agentforce   AIG's AI-driven underwriting initiatives   Federato's agentic underwriting platform   hyperexponential and Banyan Risk   Duck Creek's insurance-native Agentic AI platform   08:15 - Why moving from pilot projects to production remains difficult  10:00 - The defining question of 2026: proving commercial value and ROI  12:15 - Intelligence Capital, competitive advantage and why buying AI tools may only create parity  13:30 - Orchestration, governance and maintaining trust in agentic systems  15:00 - Workforce transformation and practical lessons for insurance leaders  16:00 - What questions should insurance organisations be asking next?  Key takeaways:  The industry conversation has shifted from experimentation towards implementation and measurable business outcomes.   Many of the biggest barriers to adoption are organisational rather than technical.   Boards increasingly expect clear economic justification for AI investment.   Competitive advantage may come less from AI models themselves and more from institutional knowledge and decision-making expertise.   Governance frameworks must evolve alongside increasingly autonomous systems.   Organisations that focus on specific business problems are more likely to succeed than those pursuing AI for its own sake.   Featured contributors:  Simon Torrance, AI Risk   Erdal Atakan, Inigo   Gina Gill, Apollo   Elena Maran, Alethesis AI   Max Richter, Mea platform   Ian Thompson, IMT Advisory  Further reading:  For listeners looking to explore the themes discussed in this episode:  Agentic AI & insurance  Podcast episode: Where is the industry today? – a view from the C-suite (A rare C-suite perspective on Agentic AI: what it is, how it's being deployed and why senior leaders are walking a tightrope between bold innovation and operational risk.)  CFC launches Lane Assist, a live agentic underwriting pilot  McGill & Partners becomes first London Market broker to deploy Agentic AI  McGill + AIG collaboration using AI-driven underwriting  Duck Creek launches insurance-native Agentic AI Platform  Federato RiskOps and Agentic underwriting platform  MGA Banyan Risk deploys hx's full agentic underwriting suite  Strategy & commercial value  Simon Torrance's work on Intelligence Capital   AI Risk research on Agentic AI and enterprise transformation   InsTech & ServiceNow New York event: The future of insurance will be orchestrated, not built  Governance & Responsible AI  Article: The New Frontier: Managing and insuring generative and agentic AI risks with Edinburgh Futures Institute  Podcast episode: Creating a new kind of assurance & insurance framework for AI-related risks (This episode unpacks one of the most ambitious research initiatives currently shaping the future of AI risk in insurance.)

Josh Swihart is the founder of ZODL: the Zcash Open Development Lab. Basically a for profit reincarnation of the old Electric Coin Company, which inherited the dev teams and projects. During his previous Bitcoin Takeover podcast appearance in November 2024 (S15 E62), Zcash was a struggling privacy project with very little support and a rather disappointing price action. In June 2026, Zcash is the rising star of the cryptocurrency market, with plans to scale to billions of users and ever-improving shielding technology. In this episode, we talk about the good, the bad, and the controversial moments in the recent history of Zcash... and why Bitcoin didn't activate Zerocash yet.

Vendors supplying AI-driven technologies are experiencing sustained margin pressure from high operational costs and underwhelming business-level returns, leading to the rapid creation of new product categories that are pushed into the MSP channel. Companies such as Atomic Work, Silverfort, and Guards are releasing governance tools for managing AI agents, while Connect Secure is offering patch management products targeted at MSPs. These launches are not indicators of competitive differentiation, but of structural cost challenges being passed from vendors to their partners.   Business media reports and internal industry data reveal that while individual productivity from AI implementations increases—for example, by accelerating engineer output—the promised business-level gains in productivity, revenue, and profit have not materialized to the extent vendors projected. According to analysis cited by Dave Sobel, high operational costs are forcing large firms like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Uber to restrict or cap AI usage internally, reflecting an industry-wide retreat from premium pricing models due to an unclear return on investment at the organizational level.   Additional developments reinforce this margin-driven shift. The federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has mandated 72-hour patching of high-risk vulnerabilities, underscoring heightened compliance requirements. Simultaneously, vendors are accelerating the rollout of governance, identity, and patch velocity tools. However, a study analyzing over 13,000 US MSPs found that those surpassing $1 million in revenue are distinguished by market positioning, online visibility, and business maturity, not by the breadth or novelty of their toolsets.   For operators, the implication is clear: stacking up new vendor products is now a baseline requirement rather than a path to competitive advantage. Firms that rely solely on vendor frameworks and toolsets risk absorbing more complexity without improving margin or differentiation. Practical separation will come from owning the "judgment layer"—defining, governing, and pricing how AI functions within client environments—rather than reselling tools. Positioning, documented governance, and clear operational standards will be more defensible than investing exclusively in vendor-driven offerings. 00:00 Manufactured Urgency  03:58 The Cost Confession 06:09 Out-Buy vs. Out-Position 08:35 Why Do We Care?    Supported by:  Nerdio  Sign up for the SMB Online Conference:  www.smbonlineconference.com

Drawing from his perspective as the leader of an executive search, technology, and go-to-market recruiting consulting firm, Avetis breaks down the new roles emerging from the AI revolution and what technology leaders need to understand now.He explains why roles like Forward Deployed AI Engineers, AI Ops Leaders, and GTM Engineers are becoming critical as companies shift from simply experimenting with AI to actually implementing it in ways that drive business outcomes. Rather than viewing AI purely as a cost-cutting tool, Avetis argues that leaders should use it to create leverage, improve quality, increase speed, and elevate their teams.This episode also examines how AI amplifies top performers, widens the gap between average and exceptional talent, and forces companies to rethink hiring, training, leadership, and team design. For executives, founders, and technology leaders, this is a practical playbook for building AI-native teams without losing the human side of leadership.TakeawaysAI will eliminate certain tasks and roles, but it will also create entirely new categories of work.The biggest career risk is not AI itself, but being replaced by someone who knows how to use AI better.AI does not make average performers equal to top performers; it amplifies the people who already have stronger judgment, work ethic, and learning ability.Leaders who treat AI only as a headcount reduction tool are thinking too short-term.Companies should train every employee on AI instead of limiting AI knowledge to technical teams.Organizations need to reward outcomes, not activity, while still maintaining strong quality standards.The future belongs to high-leverage teams that combine human judgment, machine intelligence, strong leadership, and operational discipline.Chapters00:00 Why AI May Create More Jobs Than It Replaces02:25 How Technology Waves Create New Opportunities05:15 Forward Deployed AI Engineers and Business Outcomes06:35 AI Ops Leaders, Governance, and Execution07:30 Why GTM Engineers Are Becoming So Valuable09:30 AI Rewards Top Talent and Widens the Performance Gap11:52 Why Leaders Should Think Leverage, Not Replacement13:00 What Companies Are Getting Wrong About AI Cost Cutting14:17 Training Every Employee to Use AI15:00 Rewarding Outcomes Instead of Activity15:45 Hiring for Adaptability in the AI Era16:43 Building AI-Native Leadership and Human-Centered Teams17:30 Technology Redistributes Opportunity18:20 The Real Risk: Someone Using AI Replacing You19:09 Final Thoughts for Leaders Building Responsible AI TeamsResources and Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcast.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright⁠

Peter explains why he is stepping down as a Cardano DRep and why, in his view, the current governance process is not working well enough to justify the time, energy, and scrutiny it demands. He walks through the practical reasons behind that decision, including lobbying for votes, unclear conflict-of-interest boundaries, public backlash, fatigue, and the growing burden of proposal review.The episode also looks at the broader governance environment around Intersect, treasury withdrawals, and the post-Catalyst landscape. Rather than writing off governance entirely, Peter argues that Cardano's model still has room to improve, but that most people are better off avoiding the DRep role until the process becomes more sustainable and easier to navigate.Key Takeaways:- Peter is stepping down as a Cardano DRep at the end of the month and is asking current delegates to consider moving to another active DRep.- He argues that constant lobbying, direct messages, and social pressure have made governance feel unhealthy and difficult to navigate fairly.- Conflict-of-interest lines are too blurry for someone involved across multiple roles in the ecosystem, which often pushes him toward abstaining rather than voting.- The time burden has grown far beyond what many participants originally expected, especially after the shift from Catalyst-style funding to heavier on-chain and Intersect proposal review.- He believes the current model does not properly compensate DReps for the hours of review, voting, and public accountability involved.- Despite stepping away, he still expects Cardano governance to evolve and improve over time, just not in its current form.Links & References:- Peter Bui · Cardano DRep — Informed Voting, Public Rationales: https://link.learncardano.io/vG2x1zWebsite: https://link.learncardano.io/bQ68RcX/Twitter: https://link.learncardano.io/3a1QtvDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

Fred Laluyaux has spent 25 years on the same problem: enterprises are drowning in decisions no human should be making. With 50 million digitized decisions across companies like Unilever, Exxon, and Hershey, he now has the data to prove it. When operators override the machine, performance goes down. Not sometimes — in aggregate, every time. In this episode, Fred breaks down the agentic vs. deterministic tradeoff most CIOs are getting wrong, why the software stack most companies rely on today is heading for collapse, and what a company whose entire stack is just SAP and Aera tells you about where enterprise software is going. Hit play. 3 Takeaways: After 50 million digitized decisions, the data is clear: when operators override the machine, performance drops. One Aera customer runs their entire operation on SAP and Aera. Nothing in between. That's where the stack is going. Fred calls them "born in digital" decisions — they can't be made by humans because the value is gone before the meeting starts.

An entrepreneur and Silicon Valley veteran, Fred brings an impressive track record building successful startups and driving technology innovation. Prior to launching Aera, Fred was the CEO of Anaplan, which he grew to a $1 billion valuation. He has held several executive positions at SAP, Business Objects, and ALG Software. As a thought leader on the future of work and host of the Decision Intelligence podcast, Fred frequently shares his vision with influencers through media interviews and speaking engagements at industry conferences. His views have been published in business and trade publications. A technology and startup advisor, Fred is an investor and active board member of several startups in the U.S. and Europe. Guest Highlights: "We're in 2026, and the reality is that our models have not changed for 100 years. We're still relying on people to decide how to forecast, how to allocate inventory, how to change a plan." "We've got enough data, I mentioned the 50 million decisions, to demonstrate that whenever the humans are touching the system and are messing with the recommendation, they actually degrade the performance." "The autonomy is not another version or better version of my planning tool or my replenishment tool. It replaces the need to have a human touch with that software, and therefore I don't need that software anymore."

As the world confronts inequality, conflict, technological disruption and sustainable development challenges, the relationship between development and human rights is drawing renewed global attention. What does the right to development mean 40 years after the adoption of the UN Declaration on the Right to Development? Can development provide a stronger foundation for advancing human rights in an increasingly complex world?

CNBC reported that Senator Elizabeth Warren asked the SEC to delay any SpaceX IPO, citing valuation and governance concerns. The SEC reviews IPOs through the S-1 process and can delay effectiveness if disclosures are inadequate, though it does not set valuations. SpaceX, led by CEO Elon Musk and President and COO Gwynne Shotwell, provides launch services, crewed missions for NASA, and the Starlink network while serving government and commercial customers. Governance topics include board independence, audit and compensation oversight, and handling of potential conflicts across a founder's multiple companies. A delay could affect liquidity timelines for employees and early investors. Founders planning IPOs can mitigate review risks by strengthening governance and preparing detailed, plain spoken disclosures.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

At a moment when national politics are testing the boundaries of constitutional protections and human dignity, local communities are asking a vital question: What can we do to protect one another? Town Hall Seattle and The Stranger present the March 19 edition of the Speaking of Seattle civic conversation series, an evening focused on immigrant rights, community responsibility, and the everyday actions that help safeguard our neighbors. This timely conversation explores how federal immigration enforcement policies ripple through local communities — and how ordinary people can respond with care, courage, and solidarity. Together, we examine what it means to treat immigrant rights as human rights, and how community members can act lawfully, safely, and effectively when confronted with fear-based tactics and unconstitutional overreach. Host Marcus Harrison Green is the publisher of Hinton Publishing, the founder of the South Seattle Emerald, and a columnist with The Stranger. Growing up in South Seattle, he experienced first-hand the impact of one-dimensional stories on marginalized communities, which taught him the value of authentic narratives. After an unfulfilling stint in the investment world during his twenties, Marcus returned to his community with a newfound purpose of telling stories with nuance, complexity, and multidimensionality with the hope of advancing social change. This led him to become a writer and found the South Seattle Emerald. An award-winning journalist, he was awarded the Seattle Human Rights Commissions' Individual Human Rights Leader Award for 2020 and named the inaugural James Baldwin Fellow by the Northwest African American Museum in 2022. Panelists Angelina Snodgrass Godoy is Helen H. Jackson Endowed Chair in Human Rights and Director at the Center for Human Rights at the University of Washington. She is Associate Professor of International Studies at the Henry M. Jackson School, Associate Professor of Law, Societies, and Justice, and Adjunct Associate Professor of Sociology. A sociologist by training, her research focuses on human rights in Central and Latin America. Godoy teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in human rights in both the Law, Societies, and Justice program and in the Jackson School of International Studies. Roxana Norouzi is a longtime immigrant rights leader with 20 years of experience in organizing, advocacy, and social justice work with immigrant and refugee communities. She currently serves as Executive Director of OneAmerica, where she first began as an organizing intern 12 years ago and later led education policy efforts that won major state and local victories and secured millions in funding for multilingual education. Over the past decade, she has helped guide OneAmerica through a transformational shift toward deeper grassroots organizing, strategic policy campaigns, and building political power. Roxana is also a clinical instructor at the University of Washington School of Public Health. She earned her MSW from UW and was awarded the Bonderman Fellowship, which took her to 20 countries to study post-conflict regions, migration, and identity. As a first-generation American, her work is grounded in a deep commitment to racial equity and immigrant justice. Erika Evans is the first African American and first person of color to serve as Seattle City Attorney. A graduate of the University of Washington and Seattle University School of Law, Erika began her career in the Seattle City Attorney's Office before serving as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Department of Justice's Terrorism and Violent Crimes Unit and as Civil Rights Coordinator until March 2025, when she resigned following federal policy changes she opposed. She has also served as a pro tem municipal court judge in three Washington jurisdictions. Erika is a past president of the Loren Miller Bar Association and co-chair of the Washington Leadership Institute. Seattle City Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck is known for bringing people together around practical solutions and delivering results. A graduate of Syracuse University and the University of Washington's Evans School of Public Policy and Governance, Rinck built her career as a community organizer and policy leader. She has advanced campaign finance reform, supported public health and human services policy across 38 cities during COVID-19, and held leadership roles at the Sound Cities Association and the King County Regional Homelessness Authority. As a councilmember, she created a dedicated Committee on Federal Policy Changes to respond to federal threats to Seattle and has championed union-built social housing, immigrant rights, and progressive revenue solutions.

The episode identifies a growing governance gap as a central structural issue for MSPs and IT service providers, driven by rapid AI adoption through subscription-based tools and platforms. Rather than being introduced as controlled, IT-led initiatives, AI services are entering organizations piecemeal—often through end users and business units—undermining established accountability and management practices. This dynamic is exemplified by ConnectWise's dismantling of its ASIO platform in favor of a new AI-native operating layer designed to unify PSA, RMM, security, and automation functions, and by clients independently layering on AI-powered tools without centralized oversight or cost control. A primary example of ungoverned risk involves unsustainable AI cost exposure. According to Axios and TechCrunch, an enterprise amassed around $500 million in a single month on Anthropic's Claude due to unlimited, unmonitored usage. Freshworks' survey of over 12,000 IT professionals quantifies the industry's operational friction, finding mid-market companies waste about 25% of AI budgets on complexity, for a total of $16 billion in annual waste. Despite 89% of respondents planning to increase AI spend, only 15% have actively integrated these tools into daily workflows—revealing widespread governance lag behind adoption. Supporting developments highlight the breadth and persistence of this governance deficit. Organizations such as the Linux Foundation have responded by forming the Tokenomics Foundation to standardize AI cost tracking. Meanwhile, AI tool adoption is occurring outside IT, leading to agent sprawl, unclear permissions, and cost scaling linked to agent behavior rather than headcount. Roll-up strategies in adjacent sectors—such as Thrive Holdings' $1 billion commitment to consolidate accounting firms under an AI operational platform—demonstrate capital's move toward operationally governed, AI-enabled service models, suggesting a parallel risk for IT providers. For MSPs and IT leaders, these trends underscore the urgency of operationalizing AI governance as a billable, contractual service rather than an informal or embedded support task. Risks include absorbing liability for unmanaged AI usage, exacerbated operational complexity, and relinquishing margin to platform or capital entrants. Practical steps involve conducting AI tool audits, inventorying agent access and spend, instituting usage controls, and reframing account segmentation around governance and liability exposure. MSPs who define, price, and contract for governance can mitigate inherited risk and avoid being displaced by vendors or capital-backed consolidators. 00:00 ConnectWise Rebuilds  03:59 Ungoverned Agents 06:06 Roll-Up Warning 09:38 Why Do We Care?    Supported by:  Moovila  ScalePad 

Hosted by David Cowen | Careers and the Business of Law David Cowen sits down with Bobby Malhotra, litigation partner and chair of Winston's eDiscovery and Information Governance practice, member of the firm's AI strategy group, and founding member of Legal Data Intelligence. Bobby sits at the intersection of eDiscovery, digital forensics, cross-border data, privacy, cybersecurity, information governance, and AI governance, bringing a rare combination of legal judgment, technical fluency, and hands-on curiosity. This conversation covers why AI governance has arrived, why information governance is making a comeback, and why the next generation of legal professionals will need to become tech-and-data lawyers.   WHY THIS MATTERS? AI governance is no longer a future issue. It is already here. Companies are dealing with employee use of public AI tools, data exposure, privacy risk, cybersecurity concerns, regulatory pressure, AI policies, privilege questions, AI transcription, and AI-related incidents. For lawyers and legal professionals, this is one of the clearest career white spaces in the market. KEY TAKEAWAYS AI governance has arrived. It is already one of the hottest and busiest areas in the legal industry. AI governance is about vision, guardrails, policies, ethical obligations, legal obligations, regulatory compliance, and business risk. Information governance is the backbone of AI governance. You cannot govern AI if you do not know where your data lives. Data governance sits inside AI governance, and may be the most important part of the whole program. The legal role is expanding, not shrinking. AI governance and data governance are creating new career lanes across law firms, corporate legal departments, privacy, cybersecurity, eDiscovery, and legal operations. You do not need 20 years of AI governance experience. No one really has that. Curiosity, teachability, issue-spotting, and legal judgment matter more. The best professionals in this space combine legal thinking with technical literacy. It is not just about knowing the tools. It is about applying the law to the facts, the technology, and the risk. AI governance is not just about models anymore. It now includes privilege protection, AI transcription, employee AI usage, public AI tools, data exposure, and AI-related breach scenarios. Outside counsel and in-house teams both have a role. Some companies rely heavily on outside counsel, while others use outside counsel for strategy, policy review, sanity checks, regulatory guidance, and high-risk questions. If you want to build a career in this space, get comfortable being uncomfortable. Follow the law. Follow the technology. Find mentors. Set up news alerts. Stay close to communities like LDI and IAPP.

Drawing on reflections from last week's experiences in Tulsa, this session of In Class With Carr traces relationships between roots of memory and community and contemporary branches of interventions, struggle and renewal. Beginning with the annual soil collection ritual at Greenwood's Standpipe Hill, we consider Greenwood as one of countless other “Little Africas” that expand Governance formations to include honored ancestors and fuel Social Structure transformation work with the Momentum of Memory. Through the words of founders of “Black Wall Street” and those who have preserved them and who continue to serve as Djalis, we explore issues of narrative, class, and public memory. By connecting local Cultural Meaning Making and Movement and Memory to Governance designed to also resist external shaping by Social Structure forces with sometimes cross intent, we ask questions of movement building, emphasizing generosity, honesty, and learning across all contexts.Are you a member of Knarrative?
