Podcasts about Governance

As we enter the Annual Kwanzaa/Christmas/New Year two week corridor, Session 302 of In Class With Carr centers on the meaning of naming, framing, and narrative as sites of Governance, self-determination and collective power. Drawing on Carter Godwin Woodson's “Much Ado About a Name” essay in his 1933 book “The Miseducation of the Negro,” this week we use our Africana Studies Framework to reflect on, subjects such as Kwanzaa, Black Nationalism, and Pan-Africanism, emphasizing content and context, distinguishing Social Structure from Governance questions in order to empower community-centered knowledge. Rejecting both narrowly-framed academic framings and superficial efforts to rename and redirect the potential of collective power, we use this season of reflection and gratitude to remind ourselves of frameworks that support action, intergenerational learning and expectations, and movement-building rooted in ourselves.Are you a member of Knarrative?

America is facing a crisis far more dangerous than partisan politics: a collapse of competence across government, media, and political leadership. In this year-end monologue, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how institutional failure has become normalized, why government increasingly creates problems instead of solving them, and how media tribalism has replaced journalism. From unchecked fraud and broken oversight to elite institutions that cannot perform their basic functions, Professor Giordano explains why public trust is eroding and why even Republicans have failed to deliver meaningful reform. This episode is a sober assessment of where America stands heading into 2026 and what must change if the country is to remain serious, functional, and free. Episode Highlights • How government incentives now reward failure, protect incompetence, and punish accountability • Why the media abandoned journalism for tribal loyalty and helped conceal institutional collapse • A hard look at Republican leadership, internal fractures, and the failure to translate power into reform

What does it really mean to speak of "socialism with Chinese characteristics"? Is it simply a matter of policy and political economy, or does it require grappling with thousands of years of civilizational history, philosophy, and culture? In this episode, Breht is joined by Zhao, the mind behind Goods for the People and author of Chinese Characteristics of Socialism: Civilizational Factors in CPC Governance to explore a bold and provocative argument: that while class struggle and material conditions must remain primary, China's socialist path cannot be understood without its deep Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist inheritance. From Yu the Great's flood control and the origins of infrastructural legitimacy, to the Mandate of Heaven, Da Tong, and the tributary system, we examine how ancient ideas of harmony, moral legitimacy, and collective responsibility continue to shape contemporary Chinese governance and foreign policy. This is a wide-ranging conversation for Marxists, socialists, and anti-imperialists interested in China beyond caricature, reductionism, and Cold War myths -- one that asks how history, philosophy, and material struggle converge in the making of a socialist future, and what China's trajectory might mean for the global path toward communism.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Marinela Profi, Global Market Strategy Lead for AI, GenAI and Agentic AI at SAS, about the rise of agentic AI and how we will move from hype to real, reliable AI. In today's episode, we'll discuss: Why LLMs alone don't solve business problems – and what does, how governance is becoming the new frontier of AI trust, and what leaders should expect by 2026, as enterprises shift from experiments to autonomous, explainable intelligence. KEY TAKEAWAYS A generative AI chatbot is really good and answering questions, generating text, or summarising content. But, it typically stops when it comes to conversation. On the other hand, an AI agent goes beyond that, it can take action, it has goals, memory, reasoning capabilities and can orchestrate multi-set workflows using a combination of not just large-language models but also rules, data and analytics. Generative AI talks, and agentic AI does. The 5-step lifecycle of an agent is a framework I put together to help me and my customers understand what an agent actually does step-by-step in practice. 1. Perception 2. Cognition 3. Decisioning 4. Action, and 5. Learning. Governance boards in 2026 will act more like digital oversight committees, they will ensure that agents aren't just smart, but they are safe, explainable and accountable.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘Post action the agent learns from feedback from a human operative. It's important to monitor the learning loops, you cannot allow the agent to “self-update” in ways that are uncontrolled.'  ‘How autonomous should an agent be? 90% of the time it depends on the risk and impact of the task.' ‘Autonomy without accountability is a risk multiplier.' ‘Governance doesn't stop at deployment, performance must be continuously monitored.' ABOUT THE GUEST Marinela Profi helps organizations move from AI hype to trusted impact. As Global Market Strategy Lead for AI, GenAI and Agentic AI at SAS, she works with enterprises in financial services, healthcare, and government to build AI systems that don't just act fast—but act responsibly. With an MBA and a Master's in Statistics and AI, Marinela bridges two worlds: translating complex data science into clear business strategy. Her work focuses on how agentic AI—intelligent systems that perceive, reason, and act autonomously—can deliver governed, explainable decisions instead of black-box predictions. A frequent keynote speaker at international AI and analytics events, she shares insights on the evolution from generative to agentic AI and the new frontier of AI governance, trust, and human-AI collaboration. Marinela is also an Advisory Board Member for Wake Technical Community College's Data Science Program, helping shape future-ready curricula that connect classroom learning with real-world AI innovation. ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models. Sabine is renowned within the insurance sector for building some of the most renowned tech startup accelerators around the world working with over 30 corporate insurers, accelerated over 100 startup ventures.

Our world faces a growing set of challenges that transcend national borders - from climate change and pandemic threats to the governance of emerging technologies and the protection of public goods. Yet political authority and decision making remain overwhelmingly rooted in sovereign states. How, then, can global challenges be tackled effectively?In this special episode, we turn to the concept of global governance - the institutions, norms, and practices through which collective action is coordinated beyond the nation state. Joining us is Professor Tom Pegram, Director of the UCL Global Governance Institute and Programme Director of the MSc in Global Governance and Ethics in the UCL Department of Political Science.Tom recently delivered his inaugural lecture as Professor of Global Politics at UCL, titled “Crisis? What Crisis? Rethinking Global Governance Through the Lens of Crisis.” Drawing on that lecture and his wider body of work, this conversation ranges across his academic career and explores how moments of crisis, from financial shocks and pandemics to democratic backsliding and climate emergencies, both expose the limits of existing governance arrangements and create opportunities for innovation and reform.Mentioned in this episode:Prof Pegram's lecture on YouTubeReflexive legitimation conflict: trumpism and the crisis of legitimacy in global AI governance in Global Public Policy and Governance. UCL's Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy offers a uniquely stimulating environment for the study of all fields of politics, including international relations, political theory, human rights, public policy-making and administration. The Department is recognised for its world-class research and policy impact, ranking among the top departments in the UK on both the 2021 Research Excellence Framework and the latest Guardian rankings.

For decades, warnings about the destruction of the Amazon and Congo rainforests have grown louder, even as meaningful action has lagged behind. International summits and political declarations continue, but the forests edge closer to dangerous tipping points. In this episode, we ask whether a different approach is needed. Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, Dr. Fernando Trujillo, and Sam Muller bring perspectives shaped by hands-on experience in conservation, science, justice, and governance. Together, they argue that protecting the world's great rainforests is not only an environmental challenge, but also one of equity, economic development, and power—and that lasting solutions are more likely to emerge from the ground up than from global pledges alone.

In Folge 2 von „Alles Legal – Fintech-Recht kompakt“ ordnet Peter Frey (Annerton) ein, was eIDAS 2 rechtlich neu macht, wie Governance und Durchführungsakte zusammenspielen und warum dieser Schritt weit über eine klassische Signaturverordnung hinausgeht.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Justin Mulenga, Diamond TV correspondent, about Zambia’s Parliament backing proposed constitutional amendments ahead of the country’s next general election. The move is being presented as a step toward strengthening governance and modernising the country’s founding legal framework, often seen as a sign of a maturing democracy. However, the timing of the amendments has sparked debate about political motives, electoral implications, and their broader impact on democratic practice in the region. Mulenga provides on-the-ground insight into what is driving the changes and why they matter not only for Zambians, but for the future of democracy in Southern Africa. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Analyst firm Forrester has projected that AI-native cloud solutions could generate $20 billion in revenue by 2026, significantly reshaping enterprise IT operations. However, the transition to these solutions raises concerns about governance gaps that could lead to outages. Organizations are increasingly redesigning their systems across various sectors, including education and infrastructure financing, to manage the risks associated with AI. This shift is underscored by a recent Gallup poll indicating that 45% of U.S. employees are using AI at work, reflecting a growing reliance on AI tools for operational efficiency.The term "SLOP" has been designated as Merriam-Webster's 2025 Word of the Year, highlighting the cultural implications of AI's integration into daily communication. This term encapsulates the challenges of quality control in AI outputs, as the rapid scaling of AI tools often outpaces human judgment. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are urged to focus on helping clients discern which AI outputs are reliable and which require scrutiny, emphasizing the need for quality control over mere automation.In the education sector, a notable trend is the adoption of oral exams to assess student learning, ensuring evaluations reflect genuine understanding rather than reliance on AI-generated content. Additionally, major tech companies like Microsoft and Google are adopting innovative financing strategies, such as short-term leasing agreements for computing power, to mitigate financial risks associated with AI infrastructure investments. These strategies allow companies to scale their AI capabilities while maintaining flexibility in their financial commitments.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the evolving landscape of AI presents both challenges and opportunities. The emphasis on governance and quality control in AI tools indicates a shift in how organizations will approach AI adoption, necessitating new validation steps and risk models. MSPs can leverage this moment by providing guidance on AI evaluation and compliance, ensuring that clients can navigate the complexities of AI integration while minimizing potential liabilities. Four things to know today 00:00 AI Adoption Surges as Forrester, Gallup, and Merriam-Webster Signal a Quality Problem04:40 -Education and Big Tech Respond to AI by Reworking Assessment and Risk Models07:13 OMB Uses Procurement Power to Set Federal Standards for Truthful, Unbiased AI Tools09:11 Disney Sets AI Rules:  This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

In this eye-opening interview, Rob Scott of UC Today is joined by Stacey English, Director of Regulatory Intelligence at Theta Lake, to explore what's becoming one of the biggest emerging risks in financial services: AI governance failure.Theta Lake's recent research, based on insights from 500 financial institutions, shows a concerning paradox: while AI promises massive productivity gains, most firms are flying blind when it comes to monitoring AI-generated communications, making them vulnerable to compliance breaches, data leakage, and regulatory scrutiny.Stacey brings her former-regulator perspective to discuss what firms are getting wrong, how "AI comms" are redefining risk, and why unmonitored employee-AI interactions are a ticking time bomb.Key Takeaways from the Conversation:The rise of “AI comms”: New categories of interaction demand new compliance strategies.The visibility crisis: 67% of firms admit their staff are likely using unmonitored channels.Tech fragmentation: The average firm uses 3+ vendors—creating data silos and record-keeping chaos.What real AI governance looks like: From ISO 42001 certification to unified oversight across modalities.Whether you're a CIO, compliance officer, or simply navigating AI adoption in a regulated space, this discussion highlights how to move beyond foundational guardrails to true governance.Next Steps:Ready to take control of your AI communications?

This week's session with Dr. Greg Carr and Professor Karen Hunter comes live from the 10th annual Celebration Bowl HBCU National Football Championship and Band of the Year Competition. These are Governance formation rituals where Ways of Knowing, Cultural Meaning-Making and Movement and Memory imprint our future. Against an increasingly desperate death rattle of US White Nationalism fed by intensifying media disruption and institutional assault, these Governance formations become both refuge and resistance: Bodies in formation, convening as instruction, institutions as anchors. Memory need not drift—it can advance, step by step, propelled by Sankofa and teaching us who we are and must yet be to and for each other and the world.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Key Areas of Focus: Adaptive Governance: A flexible, responsive approach to organizational oversight that has evolved from environmental management to broader applications across nonprofit and for-profit sectors, empowering organizations to maintain resilience in the face of rapid change. Innovation: Recognize that governance is dynamic and requires ongoing adaptation. It isn't always about disruption; reimagining existing models can uncover new opportunities.Trust, Communication & Data Integrity: Transparent communication and reliable data are essential for effective governance and stakeholder confidence.Scenario Planning & Risk Assessment: Should be ongoing, integrated processes—not annual or one-time exercises—to help organizations better anticipate and navigate uncertainty.Board Actions: Encourage cross-functional collaboration, active stakeholder engagement, committee restructuring, learning cycles, and policy updates on a regular basis to reflect changing conditions. Boards need to shift from relying on intuition to leveraging intelligence and real-time data.

In September, a wave of protests emerged in Morocco led by the country's youth, known as GenZ 212. Since September, 3 people have been killed and 400 arrested according to Amnesty International. Triggered by the deaths of women in an Agadir hospital, the protest movement's demands come against the background of widespread unemployment and a lack of funding in health and education sectors. With King Mohammed VI's latest speech announcing budgetary increases and promises of reform, will this be enough to meet the movement's demands, and does the movement have enough momentum to continue? This panel of experts will take a look at the current protests, how they have been organised and their capacity to gather widespread support. Panellists will also provide broader political and historical analysis on the country, analysing how capacity for reform can be understood in light of the Kingdom's governance systems and political institutions.

History may not rhyme, but it echoes, and for all the challenges dairy has faced, a few key areas have continued to resurface throughout Chris Galen's nearly three decades in dairy.“A lot of what I had worked on at the start of my career, and also now in the last few years of my career at National Milk, has been on milk pricing, in particular federal milk marketing order reforms,” said Galen, NMPF's longtime communications leader and the current Senior Vice President of Member Services and Governance, in a Dairy Defined podcast. “A lot of what we have to do, has to do with just making certain that farmers are paid fairly.”Galen reflects on the changes of dairy's structure in the 21st century, the continued importance of family farms to dairy, and the evolution of media that has made it easier to serve members while getting dairy's message to a broader audience. 

There's a narrative we've been sold all year: "Move fast and break things." But a new 100-page report from the Future of Life Institute (FLI) suggests that what we actually broke might be the brakes.This week, the "Winter 2025 AI Safety Index" dropped, and the grades are alarming. Major players like OpenAI and Anthropic are barely scraping by with "C+" averages, while others like Meta are failing entirely. The headlines are screaming about the "End of the World," but if you're a business leader, you shouldn't be worried about Skynet—you should be worried about your supply chain.I read the full audit so you don't have to. In this episode, I move past the "Doomer" vs. "Accelerationist" debate to focus on the Operational Trust Gap. We are building our organizations on top of these models, and for the first time, we have proof that the foundation might be shakier than the marketing brochures claim.The real risk isn't that AI becomes sentient tomorrow; it's that we are outsourcing our safety to vendors who are prioritizing speed over stability. I break down how to interpret these grades without panicking, including:Proof Over Promises: Why FLI stopped grading marketing claims and started grading audit logs (and why almost everyone failed).The "Transparency Trap": A low score doesn't always mean "toxic"—sometimes it just means "secret." But is a "Black Box" vendor a risk you can afford?The Ideological War: Why Meta's "F" grade is actually a philosophical standoff between Open Source freedom and Safety containment.The "Existential" Distraction: Why you should ignore the "X-Risk" section of the report and focus entirely on the "Current Harms" data (bias, hallucinations, and leaks).If you are a leader wondering if you should ban these tools or double down, I share a practical 3-step playbook to protect your organization. We cover:The Supply Chain Audit: Stop checking just the big names. You need to find the "Shadow AI" in your SaaS tools that are wrapping these D-grade models.The "Ground Truth" Check: Why a "safe" model on paper might be useless in practice, and why your employees are your actual safety layer.Strategic Decoupling: Permission to not update the minute a new model drops. Let the market beta-test the mess; you stay surgical.By the end, I hope you'll see this report not as a reason to stop innovating, but as a signal that Governance is no longer a "Nice to Have"—it's a leadership competency.⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

Chris Markowski, the Watchdog on Wall Street, discusses various pressing economic issues, including the role of government in economic growth, the impact of tariffs, state governance, immigration, and drug trafficking.

PREVIEW — Evan Ellis — Honduras: Poverty, Corruption, and Migration Crisis. Ellis details the severe structural poverty and endemic corruption plaguing Honduras, characterized by institutionally weak governance frameworks systematically infiltrated by drug trafficking organizations and violent gangs including Mara Salvatucha and Mara 18, which exercise de facto control over substantial territorial jurisdictions. Ellis documents that despite significant recent reductions in homicide rates reflecting improved security conditions, Honduras remains fundamentally unstable, functioning as a major source of Central American and Caribbean migration toward Northern Triangle transit routes to the United States. Ellis notes that domestic Honduran political constituencies are increasingly demanding law-and-order governance and institutional reform to address gang violence, territorial control by criminal organizations, and the dysfunctional state capacity that perpetuates irregular migration and humanitarian crises. 1930 CARACAS
