How many of us have experienced team building that we thought was a joke. How many of us left feeling like it was a complete waste of time and money? If you've had that experience, I have some suggestions.
We are increasingly aware of the basic risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI), such as generating harmful advice, producing buggy code, and spreading inaccurate (or misleading) information. Some of us have even considered the dangers of AI providing accurate information for nefarious purposes (e.g. "How do I make a ghost gun?"). However, a larger societal risk looms — the possibility of AI models manipulating humans and escaping human control. Should we be worried? Is this really a realistic scenario?
Tariffs are revenue generators for the government - they are a form of taxation. This policy shift represents the most significant “tax increase” in recent U.S. history. It is likely the tariffs are intended as a mechanism to offset revenue loss from extending the tax cuts, with the administration seeking to make the 2017 TCJA tax cuts permanent.
Each day billions of us conduct numerous transactions with the tech giants, but one could never guess that from our bank accounts, because hardly any money is moving. We get information from the tech giants, and we pay them with information. As more transactions follow this information-for-information model, the information economy grows at the expense of the money economy, until the very concept of money becomes questionable.

As the world becomes more complex, the importance of leaders will only increase. Even quantum leaps in artificial intelligence are unlikely to provide the personal will, moral courage, and compassion that good leaders offer.
According to Ben Horowitz "peacetime" and "wartime" CEOs require radically different management styles. I believe this concept applies to CIOs as well. As an effective CIO, you never just take a job. You are accepting a mission.
