Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has collaborated with MIT Sloan Management Review (MIT SMR) to launch a new research series to explore the next phase of human and AI collaboration in large enterprises. As enterprises the world over are proactively investing in deploying AI-led solutions to transform their business operations, this multi-sectoral study deeply examines the new paradigms that will redefine the use of AI in global enterprise environments. In a series of research articles covering Manufacturing, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, BFSI, Life Sciences and Healthcare, Energy, Resources and Utilities, and Communications, Media and Technology sectors, the study investigates how business leaders are deploying AI augmented solutions to gain a competitive edge from better decisions. The study on the theme of Human-Centric AI spans six key sectors and finds that generative and predictive AI can initiate a transformative change that drives competitive advantage. The year-long research that was conceptualised and executed jointly by MIT SMR and TCS drew insights experts and pioneers from organisations such as Walmart, Meta, MasterCard, and Pernod Ricard. The research identifies one critical shift: AI is moving from advisor to architect. In simple terms, AI's value shifts from improving business processes to improving the quality of options to facilitate better decision-making. Companies that master this transition are pulling ahead of those still trapped in traditional decision-making frameworks. TCS' industry expertise in strategising and supporting large global organisations in their AI-led digital transformation journeys using both generative and predictive AI along with the academic rigor of MIT SMR bring forth new and fresh thinking about using AI to augment and inform Human Intelligence. The collaborative research has revealed the emergence of intelligent choice architectures (ICAs) - a new paradigm where human-centric AI systems proactively participate in structuring and shaping strategic decisions by generating novel options, predicting outcomes, and guiding choices. Michael Schrage, Research fellow at MIT Sloan's Initiative on the Digital Economy and report coauthor, said, "ICAs flip the script. They do not just learn from decisions - they learn how to improve the environment in which decisions are made. That's not analytics, that's architecture." Ashok Krish, Head, AI Practice, TCS, said, "By augmenting human judgment with machine intelligence, ICAs shift AI from task automation to building superior decision environments for complex multi-factorial situations, enabling more trackable, traceable outcomes that ensure accountability. They help align talent development strategies with organisational goals, making it easier to identify and nurture high-potential employees in the AI-era. Ultimately, ICAs foster environments where human judgement and AI work together seamlessly to create connected organisation intelligence, where smarter and more informed decisions are made." Through this new study with MIT SMR, TCS extends its long-standing commitment to understand and uncover new trends in the industry and aid partners in integrating new technologies and frameworks. Over the years, TCS has collaborated with MIT SMR on industry research about direct-to-consumer enterprises, workforce empowerment, digital inclusion, retailing, and customer experience among others. Through its partnership with MIT SMR and 50 other academic institutions, TCS curates collective intelligence that enterprises can tap into. The sector-specific study provides compelling examples of ICAs in action to optimize choices, reallocate decision rights, and boost their bottom lines. Organisations using GenAI have helped achieve higher productivity and efficiency and cut costs while unlocking newer growth opportunities. In retail, AI enables retailers to both anticipate and address ma...

Wie schafft man es in unserer digitalen Welt, das „echte" Leben nicht aus dem Blick zu verlieren? Gar nicht so einfach, wenn wir ständig durch Klingeltöne und Push-Nachrichten abgelenkt werden. Oft ist uns gar nicht bewusst, wie viel Zeit wir täglich unnütz im Netz verbringen. „Time Well Spent" heißt die Zauberformel, die hier Ausgleich schaffen soll. Ursprünglich eine Graswurzelbewegung, die als Gegentrend zu den Überredungs- und Unterbrechungstechniken der digitalen Welt ins Leben gerufen wurde von dem ehemaligen Google-Mitarbeiter Tristan Harris. Doch die Initiative wurde von den Tech-Konzernen „geschluckt": Seit einigen Jahren bieten diese u.a. innovative Apps an, die den User*innen mehr Achtsamkeit in ihrem individuellen digitalen Verhalten ermöglichen sollen. Doch der Nutzen solcher Apps ist trügerisch. In dem man die Verantwortung individualisiere, so der Medienwissenschaftler Prof. Bernhard Pörksen, würde verschleiert, dass sich das Problem der ständigen digitalen Verfügbarkeit nur auf der gesellschaftlichen Ebene lösen lässt.

Wie kann die deutsche Wirtschaft von Künstlicher Intelligenz profitieren und ihre Geschäftsmodelle davon profitieren lassen? In Frankfurt entsteht mit dem „AI Hub“ ein Ökosystem für KI, das Unternehmen, Start-ups, Investoren und Talente zusammenbringen soll. Gelingt das? Frankfurt will sich mit dem „AI Hub“ als ein zentraler Knotenpunkt für Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) positionieren. Inmitten einer der wirtschaftlich stärksten Regionen Europas entsteht ein Ökosystem, das Unternehmen, Start-ups, Investoren und Talente zusammenführt. Der „AI Hub Frankfurt“ versteht sich als Plattform, die das Potenzial von Daten und KI für die Rhein-Main-Region entfalten will. Darüber reden wir im F.A.Z. Digitalwirtschaft-Podcast mit Sebastian Heinz und Marcel Isbert, beide Mitbegründer des „AI Hubs“. Es geht um die Mission des „AI Hub Frankfurt“ und den Unterschied anderen KI-Initiativen: Welche Rolle spielt der „AI Hub“ für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung der Region Frankfurt Rhein-Main? Welche Zielgruppen werden angesprochen? Wie unterstützen werden Unternehmen konkret bei der Einführung und Skalierung von KI-Lösungen begleitet? Welche Trends und Technologien sind besonders relevant für die Region? Das Angebot des „AI Hub“ ist breit gefächert: Es reicht von praxisnahen Workshops und Seminaren über Netzwerkveranstaltungen bis hin zu gezielter Beratung und Mentoring. Unternehmen und Gründer, die sich auf dem Feld der Künstlichen Intelligenz bewegen, erhalten Zugang zu Fachwissen und einem Netzwerk, das weit über die Stadtgrenzen hinausreicht. Doch der Anspruch des AI Hub geht darüber hinaus. Es geht nicht nur um die Förderung einzelner Unternehmen oder Projekte, sondern um die Stärkung der Innovationskraft und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der gesamten Region. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt deshalb auch auf dem Aufbau einer leistungsfähigen KI-Infrastruktur, die Unternehmen und Start-ups optimale Bedingungen für die Entwicklung und das Training von KI-Modellen bietet. In einem eigenen Gebäude sollen künftig alle diese Aktivitäten gebündelt werden. Der „AI Hub“ wurde 2021 als privatwirtschaftliche Initiative gestartet und im Jahr 2023 als eigenständige Gesellschaft gegründet. Die zentrale Leuchtturmveranstaltung wird die „AI Week Frankfurt“ sein, die vom 27. bis 31. Oktober im „The Squaire“ am Frankfurter Flughafen stattfinden wird. Der Bundesdigitalminister wird kommen und 5000 weitere Gäste werden erwartet.

Today we're wrapping up our eight-part series by exploring how labor and economic justice nonprofits can advance their missions through advocacy. We'll cover recent developments and examine both lobbying and non-lobbying strategies that advocates are using to improve economic justice for all.   Attorneys for this episode   Tim Mooney Susan Finkle Sourlis Sarah Efthymiou   Shownotes Current Events / Executive Orders ·      Trump Administration Directives Impacting Workers o   In March, President Trump issued an executive order exempting national security agencies from the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. The EO revokes collective bargaining rights for over a million federal workers, hindering their ability to organize and improve working conditions. o   In January 2025, an executive order paused the planned increase of the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $17/hour, reversing wage gains for thousands of low-wage employees. o   In March 2025, another executive order directed the Department of Labor to halt enforcement of protections against misclassification for independent contractors, adopting a worker-unfriendly test that limits employee eligibility for wage and hour protections. ·      Illegal ICE & DHS workplace raids: ICE, racing to fulfill the Trump Administration's goal to increase deportations, is increasingly targeting work sites for immigration sweeps in LA and other major cities. In addition to loss of essential income for workers who are afraid to show up for work, this escalation is a chilling effect on businesses and local communities. Non-lobbying Advocacy Advocacy can take many forms, and lobbying is just one form. Your organization can engage in non-lobbying activities like: Organizing, educating the public, conducting research, executive branch and regulatory activities, training and litigation are just a few examples.   ·      Educating the Public o   Nonprofits that support immigrant workers, such as The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), are sharing "know your rights” info, so workers are better prepared if stopped by immigration officials. Other groups provide information for employers, such as the National Employment Law Project's What to do if Immigration Comes to Your Workplace. ·      Identify & advocate to supportive government officials: o   Find your allies in government and encourage them to continue to defend their communities. Many nonprofits have lauded Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' and California Governor Gavin Newsom's public criticism of the federal government's actions in LA, describing the deployment of military forces to the city as an overreach and a violation of state sovereignty. ·      Holding a Rally o   In February, federal workers organized coordinated “Save Our Services Day of Action” events in multiple cities to build a broader network of support and to put pressure on the administration and Congress to block the illegal firing of fed workers ·      Litigation as Advocacy o   A multi-state coalition of nonprofits, unions, and local governments sued the Trump Administration over mass layoffs of federal workers without approval of Congress. Lobbying ·      Pro-Worker Legislation o   Nevada's state legislature is currently considering expanding their existing Paid Family & Medical Leave program beyond state employees ·      Ballot Initiatives Coming on the heels of several key wins in 2024 (Alaska, Missouri, and AZ), already seeing upcoming ballot measures o   A potential Ohio Nov 2025 ballot initiative to increase minimum wage to $15/hour; and Oklahoma qualified June 2026 ballot measure to increase the state's minimum wage to $15/hour Resources ·      Power & Equity: The Advocacy Playbook for Labor and Economic Justice ·      Practical Guidance: What your nonprofit needs to know about lobbying in your state ·      Investing in Change: A Funder's Guide to Supporting Advocacy ·      What is Advocacy? 2.0 ·      Seize the Initiative

In this Morning Manna episode, we examine Solomon's piercing question: “How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?” (Proverbs 6:9). Verses 9–11 warn us that spiritual laziness opens the door to unexpected loss—poverty doesn't announce itself; it sneaks in like a traveler and attacks like an armed man. We'll reflect on the hidden dangers of procrastination, the deception of ease, and why a restful heart still requires a watchful spirit.Join the leading community for Conservative Christians! https://www.FaithandValues.comYou can partner with us by visiting https://www.FaithandValues.com/donate, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!https://www.AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!

The warning was given by many last week, we discussed it, and on Wednesday, it happened. Microsoft 9,100 employees were laid off across all departments, with a sizeable chunk coming from the Xbox division. Sean and Marc discuss the fallout of it all, which includes the cancellation of Rare's Everwild, the closure of The Initiative studio, and the subsequent cancellation of its game, the Perfect Dark Reboot. There's even more, including the incredible downsizing of the Forza Motorsport studio, Turn-10 as well. Is Game Pass to blame? Is it the push towards AI? Is it mismanagement from executives? Has the Activision-Blizzard-King merger's spending come back to generate some revenue? We examine it all and try to make any sense of this, and will this ever reach a stopping point for Xbox? On another front, Sony's prize live service game, Helldivers 2, is headed to Xbox on August 26. Is this a sign of Sony following in Xbox's footsteps? Or is this a one-off case where a multiplayer game needs more players to keep thriving? Plus, Marc has more to say on Death Stranding 2, Sean has finally made progress on Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and has made it to Act 3 too.

To be apathetic to something is to experience a lack of feeling or emotion in response to an event. For the Dukes, it's the word of the show. Xbox has been mismanaged for an entire generation and it has come at the cost of losing world class talents alongside studios. It was just in 2024 that we lost Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, Roundhouse Studios, and Alpha Dog Games. There was also the formidable Toys For Bob that went independent. That alone was more than enough to last us a generation, but today we learned that Xbox has closed down the studio they started back in 2018: The Initiative. Alongside that, Rare's Everwild has been canceled on top of a new IP from Zenimax Online Studios. There's no other way to slice it. For Xbox to improve, leadership must be held accountable. The question is if they ever will and given how situations at teams like Bungie have gone down, we expect a meek, weak willed level of accountability to the bloodbath at Microsoft this week. Indeed, much of the frustration is built off the back of constant, mind-numbing, inconsistent messaging. It was only in February that CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer, said Everwild was really shaping up. It was canceled today. With such wishy-washy messaging to their fans, the brand is at a point where no one can believe anything they say. Sure, a partnership with AMD to do next-generation consoles was announced within the last month. How can we trust that? It's the lowest level of trust asked of a consumer that you can believe an announcement when you see it. Instead, the only message we're left with is that if you're not a mega-hit in the making, Xbox wants to have no part of you. What does this say to teams like Compulsion and Ninja Theory or larger developers like Obsidian that like to split off in pursuit of smaller titles? It's amusing that Xbox has done this in the name of creating a sustainable business yet their methods and approach to making games is arguably the least sustainable thing we've seen. They're all in on a subscription service while putting tens of millions of dollars into making games. How it'll all shake up will be interesting to watch, but many of us know how this story will end.
