By Adam Turteltaub Andrew McBride, Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Integrity Bridge, recently wrote an article entitled Generative Artificial Intelligence Use Cases for Ethics & Compliance Programs. Intrigued by the topic, I sat down with him for this podcast. He shared that many compliance teams are charged with using AI but may not have the desire or know how to create and implement a use case. He shares that AI is very good at doing a specific role and a specific activity. Consequently, compliance teams should consider not just the use of AI as a whole but specific needs that they have for it. He gives five specific use cases: Interpreter. AI can translate documents and training in seconds. It can also help you distill long documents into pithy, usable summaries both for you and management. Drafter. It can draft from scratch or improve what you have already put together, even creating interactive scenarios that can be useful in training. Researcher. You do have to be mindful of hallucinations, but if you set up the AI to only use your own data or a trusted set of ources, it is more reliable. Do, though, always check its work. Data Analyst. As compliance teams are called to amass and analyze more data, AI can help you do it, identifying, for example, relationships between training and calls to the helpline. Monitor, Investigator, Auditor. AI can review both structured and unstructured data, helping you identify red flags. Listen in to learn more, and then, start building your own use case for generative AI.

In the episode, we sat down with ClickHouse Co-Founder Yury Izrailevsky to unpack how one of the fastest open-source databases in the world became the analytics engine of choice for 2,000 customers including Harvey, Canva, HP, and Supabase. From its Yandex origins to powering AI observability, Yury shares how ClickHouse balances open-source roots, cloud innovation, and a remote-first culture moving at breakneck speed.ClickHouse's Series C valued the company at $6.35B earlier this year, and just yesterday they announced an extension to that round, just months after it was raised. In this episode, we dig into:Origins & Founding StoryClickHouse began as an internal project at Yandex to power a Google Analytics–style platform, focused on performance and scale.Open-sourced in 2016 - rapid global adoption laid the foundation for ClickHouse the company. Yury first discovered ClickHouse while at Google; impressed by its speed, he later co-founded the company in 2021 alongside Aaron Katz (ex-Elastic) and the original creator Alexey Milovidov.Why ClickHouse Stands OutColumn-oriented, open source OLAP database designed for massive-scale analytical processing.Excels in performance, efficiency, and cost - ideal for large data volumes and real-time analytics (and now AI workloads). Architectural choices:Columnar storage = better compression and faster execution.Separation of compute and storage enables elasticity, scalability, and resilience in the cloud.Open Source vs. CloudOpen-source version offers freedom and flexibility.Cloud product delivers much lower total cost of ownership and fully managed experience.Architectural parity between the two ensuring no vendor lock-in for customers. Customers can run the same queries on both; most stay with cloud due to simplicity and cost efficiency.Use Cases & Ecosystem4 main use cases:Real-time analyticsData WarehousingObservability AI / ML WorkloadsCompany Building & CultureFully remote from day one.Prioritized experienced, self-sufficient engineers over early-career hires.Built and launched GA version in less than a year - insane pace of innovation.Innovation & CommunityMonthly release cadence.Hundreds of integrations and connectors.Strong open-source and commercial communityAdvice for FoundersFocus on what matters most Hire mature, independent thinkers.Move fast but maintain quality; ClickHouse Cloud achieved production-grade quality in record time.

"I think the biggest trap to potentially fall into is, "Hey, it's moving so fast, so much is changing. Let's just wait it out." Completely the wrong approach. You just gotta get started." Nick Eayrs from Databricks "As tech people within the shipping industry, how do we explain, how do we make it accessible to all our users? So that's where we came up with the idea of a data supermarket, with in mind really the target of enabling self-service for our business. So by giving the analogy of a supermarket, it was much easier at the beginning to explain our business." - Simon Fassot from Hafnia Fresh out of the studio, Nick Eayrs, Vice President of Field Engineering for Asia Pacific and Japan at Databricks, and Simon Fassot, General Manager and Head of Global Data and Analytics at Hafnia, join us to explore how data intelligence is transforming enterprise AI across diverse industries in Asia. Nick explained the fundamental distinction between general intelligence and data intelligence - emphasizing how enterprises gain competitive advantage by training AI on their proprietary data rather than public knowledge. Nick showcased customer success stories including Standard Chartered Bank and TechComBank and shared his perspectives on how senior executives can take advantage of AI by moving fast rather than wait and see. Last but not least, Nick offered what great would look like for Databricks in Asia Pacific and Japan in serving their customers. Adding the lens of the customer, Simon shared Hafnia's transformation from legacy SQL Server systems to a unified Databricks architecture serving their global shipping operations and elaborated on how the company is breaking down silos with their data supermarket and "Marvis" AI copilot for maritime operations based on retrieval augmented generation.

Is it too soon to leverage agentic automation to drive AI transformation, streamline workflows, and boost productivity in finance? And how do you calculate the ROI of AI? Today's guest runs a high-functioning finance team at a company that's at the forefront of AI, where bonuses are tied to AI adoption. In this episode, CJ interviews Hitesh Ramani, Deputy CFO and Chief Accounting Officer at UiPath.

He breaks down the difference between agents, robots, and workflows, describing what each does and how they interact. The conversation covers what it's like to manage org charts that include humans and AI agents, how to hire for the future of tech-savvy finance teams, and UiPath's vision for near-autonomous finance operations.

In this episode, hosts Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli dive into the world of Asian options, a type of exotic option. They explain how these options differ from standard "vanilla" options by basing their payoff on the average price of an underlying asset over a specific period, rather than its price at a single expiration date. The hosts break down the two main types: fixed-strike and average-strike options, providing clear examples of how their payoffs are calculated. They also discuss the historical origins of the name "Asian options" in the Singaporean commodity markets. The episode highlights the primary use case for these options: reducing volatility and hedging against wild price swings, making them particularly useful for industries like commodities, energy, and foreign exchange. The show also includes the popular "Mail Call" segment, where the hosts answer a listener's question about options flow and market volume statistics for August.

Module name/project name: Starshot Demo Design System Brief history How old: created in July 2024 by longtime Drupalist Kristen Pol of Salsa Digital Versions available: 1.0.6, which supports Drupal 10 and 11 Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Test coverage Documentation - Multipage writeup of SDDS, including contribution and development guides Number of open issues: 34 open issues, 3 of which are active bugs Usage stats: 79 sites Module features and usage Some of our users may have already tried out the pre-release demo of Canvas that phenaproxima posted on Github. That actually has the Starshot Demo Design System, or SDDS, baked in. So, even if you watched a demo video of Canvas, you've probably seen SDDS in action SDDS is itself built on CivicTheme, a Drupal theme built to act as a component-based atomic design system. As such, CivicTheme includes a rich component library, built from published Figma and Storybook UI Kits. And because some of the early builds for SDDS were for GovCMS, the Australian whole-of-government CMS project, it is accessible, with WCAG 2.2 compliance out-of-the-box While the official purpose of SDDS is providing a platform to use for demos in Driesnotes and other presentations to illustrate the progress being made on Canvas, I think it's also safe to say that testing the latest features of Canvas with a fully-realized design system has also helped to identify issues in Canvas itself. That means the products of all the work that has gone into SDDS will include a more production-ready stable release when that gets tagged (hopefully in time for Vienna)

Today I'm joined by Dr. Latt Mansor, a leading voice in human metabolism and performance. With a PhD from Oxford and years of research on type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular health, and performance in extreme environments, Latt has a unique perspective on how our bodies work and how to help them thrive. We get into the fundamentals of metabolic health, the latest research on ketones, and how his studies with the Department of Defense are shaping the future of performance science. He breaks down what everyday health optimization really looks like, from fueling strategies to improving insulin sensitivity, and explains why metabolism exists on a spectrum.→ Leave Us A Voice Message!Topics Discussed:→ What is metabolic health and how can you improve it?→ How do ketones support energy and performance?→ What are the signs of insulin resistance?→ Can ketones help with inflammation and recovery?→ How do you fuel for muscle gain and fat loss?Sponsored By: → Ketone-IQ | Go to https://hvmn.com/KELLY and use discount code "BEWELL" for 30% off your subscription order + a free gift with a second order.→ Be Well By Kelly Protein Powder & Essentials | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.→ WeNatal | You can use my link, wenatal.com/kelly, with any subscription order, to get a free one month supply of WeNatal's Omega DHA+ Fish Oil valued at 35→ Vuori | Get 20% off your first order of Vuori AND free shipping on orders over $75 at vuori.com/kellyTimestamps: → 00:00:00 - Introduction → 00:01:21 - Dr. Latt's background → 00:05:40 - Improving your metabolism → 00:10:14 - Ketones & fat → 00:14:54 - Cardiovascular health → 00:17:51 - Energy deficiency → 00:20:07 - Checking for insulin resistance → 00:23:31 - Consistent lifestyle change → 00:27:23 - Carbs & ketones → 00:32:34 - Fueling for body recomposition → 00:36:21 - Muscle vs fat & the scale → 00:39:19 - Muscle gains → 00:46:36 - Ketone-IQ Dosing → 00:52:19 - Infant neurodevelopment → 00:55:36 - Ketones & inflammation → 00:57:44 - Metabolism is a spectrum → 00:59:05 - What's next for Ketone-IQ?
