No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love," Bezos said in a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/jeffbezos/status/1854184441511571765?s=46">post</a> on X, formerly Twitter.Bezos' remarks arrive less than two weeks after the controversy at The Washington Post, which he owns, surrounding the newspaper's <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/washington-post-donald-trump-kamala-harris-endorsement-bezos-why-matters-2024-10">decision not to endorse a presidential candidate</a> for the first time in decades.In a note to readers in late October, William Lewis, the Post's publisher and CEO, said the paper was "returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates" in this presidential election and all future ones and that its job was "to be independent.""We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility," Lewis wrote."Our job at The Washington Post is to provide through the newsroom nonpartisan news for all Americans, and thought-provoking, reported views from our opinion team to help our readers make up their own minds," his note continued.The Washington Post later <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" class="" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/10/25/washington-post-endorsement-president/">reported</a> that Bezos made the call not to publish an already-drafted endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, citing two sources briefed on the decision.The newspaper's decision sparked uproar: Three of the newspaper's editorial board members, David Hoffman, Molly Roberts, and Mili Mitra, stepped down following the announcement. Editor-at-large Robert Kagan, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/washington-post-columist-michele-norris-resigns-endorsement-kamala-harris-2024-10">columnist Michele Norris</a>, and contributing columnist Danielle Allen resigned.Many WaPo readers also railed against the decision, with more than 250,000 people reportedly canceling their subscriptions following the announcement.Amid the uproar, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-washington-post-endorsement-presidential-media-trust-why-2024-10">Bezos doubled down on the newspaper's decision in an op-ed</a>."Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election," he wrote. "What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. A perception of non-independence. Ending them is a principled decision, and it's the right one."The Washington Post endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Joe Biden in 2020.Bezos also said there was "no quid pro quo of any kind" in the decision not to endorse a candidate.Two executives from Bezos' aerospace company, Blue Origin — CEO Dave Limp and vice president of government relations Megan Mitchell — met with Trump on the day of the Post's announcement, the Associated Press <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://apnews.com/live/2024-election-trump-harris-news-updates#00000192-c592-d7d8-a7be-efbf2ca80000">reported</a>.Bezos wrote in his op-ed that neither he nor Limp knew about the meeting ahead of time, as it was "scheduled quickly that morning.""I sighed when I found out, because I knew it would provide ammunition to those who would like to frame this as anything other than a principled decision," he wrote. "There is no connection between it and our decision on presidential endorsements, and any suggestion otherwise is false."<h2 id="bb415f5d-84ef-451b-ab15-6820e058f504">Bezos and Trump have a history</h2>Bezos and Trump have had a contentious relationship at times.While campaigning for the 2016 presidential election, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-says-amazon-will-have-such-problems-2016-2">Trump said Amazon would have "problems" if he became president</a>.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Saudi Arabia is getting serious about its plans to be a world leader in AI.</li><li>Last week, it hosted an AI summit with execs from top Western firms and unveiled a data center deal.</li></ul>When <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/saudi-arabia-ruler-mbs-leveraging-chaos-us-weapon-contracts-salman-2024-9">Mohammed bin Salman</a> presided over Saudi Arabia's inaugural artificial intelligence summit at the start of the decade, his message was bold: as crown prince, he had <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spa.gov.sa/w1433658">"a clear ambition to position the Kingdom as a model nation in AI."</a>Four years on, it has become increasingly evident that those weren't just empty words from the 39-year-old royal, who is next-in-line to the throne.In recent months, Saudi Arabia has hosted a flurry of high-profile events, leaders, and dealmaking from the AI world. It's a sign that the country is serious about stepping up its plans to make its desert kingdom a top destination for AI companies in search of capital and opportunities.Last week, for instance, the country held the third edition of the <a target="_blank" href="https://globalaisummit.org/en/Pages/Speakers.aspx">Global AI Summit</a>, which debuted in 2020. This year's showcase featured speakers from top AI companies in the West, such as Nvidia, Qualcomm, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI rival Cohere.The summit also spotlighted a new tie-up announced last week between Mountain View-based chip firm <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://groq.com/unleashing-the-power-of-fast-ai-inference-groq-and-aramco-digital-partner-to-establish-world-leading-data-center/">Groq and a subsidiary of the $1.7 trillion state oil firm Saudi Aramco</a> — a deal aimed at building "the largest AI inference data center."<div type="image" title="Saudi Aramco" height="501" width="800" msid="113400247" hostid="261" sizebytes="17726"></div>Groq, founded in 2016 by former Google engineers, has established itself as one of the more serious competitors to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-zuckerberg-wealth-nvidia-huang-tech-stock-ai-wealth-billionaires-2024-9">chip giant Nvidia</a> since the start of the AI boom. It specializes in chips dedicated to running AI models once they have been trained for a process known as inference, which is when AI draws conclusions based on data it has never seen before. Last month, Groq announced that it had <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://groq.com/news_press/groq-raises-640m-to-meet-soaring-demand-for-fast-ai-inference/">raised $640 million</a> from the likes of BlackRock and Cisco in a funding round valued at $2.8 billion. Its CEO, Jonathan Ross, suggested that inference would be a key focus for the sector as "training AI models" is a solved problem.For Saudi Arabia, AI doesn't just present the chance to bet big on tech's latest hype train. The kingdom, built on oil riches since the 1930s, is scrambling to diversify its economy at a time when world nations are weighing plans to reduce fossil fuel use.In particular, this need to diversify forms a critical part of Vision 2030 — a grand economic plan to bring in new revenue streams. The plan is supported by the country's sovereign wealth fund, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/saudi-arabia-public-investment-fund-global-investment-spree-2024-8">the Public Investment Fund, or PIF.</a>Saudi Arabia generated a similar amount of hype around its AI ambitions in March when it held its LEAP conference. During the conference, Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky and IBM CEO Arvind Krishna spoke on the main stage with government minister Abdullah Alswaha.<div type="image" title="Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky" height="532" width="800" msid="113400245" hostid="261" sizebytes="14138"></div>AWS coupled the appearance with a <a target="_blank" href="https://press.aboutamazon.com/2024/3/aws-to-launch-an-infrastructure-region-in-the-kingdom-of-saudi-arabia">commitment to invest over $5.3 billion in Saudi Arabia</a> in the next few years to build data centers that provide the computing power required to run AI models behind generative AI applications.That same month, The New York Times <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/business/saudi-arabia-investment-artificial-intelligence.html">reported</a> that the Kingdom had set aside $40 billion for a new fund dedicated to AI investments — a move that would create the world's largest fund dedicated to the technology.As part of the fund's creation, key figures from PIF held talks with venture capital firm A16z to explore a strategic partnership. The US fund, led by Silicon Valley veterans Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, has doubled down on its commitment to AI by planning to use a portion of the <a target="_blank" href="https://a16z.com/new-funds-new-era/">$7.2 billion it raised earlier this year</a> to bet on companies at the industry's vanguard.For Saudi Arabia, having access to a heavyweight investment firm like A16z could give it an efficient way of identifying AI startups and founders making the most buzz in the Bay Area, the epicenter of the generative AI boom.It's clear then that Saudi Arabia means business on AI. It is ready to shore up as much capital as it needs to build vital infrastructure for AI while courting leading companies overseas with its deep pockets.The stakes couldn't be higher. AI looks set to be one of a handful of major industries — such as tourism and sports — it is betting on to move it successfully away from oil.AI will need to be worth it for the kingdom in the long run.

On September 12, Business Insider convened a roundtable of top technology executives as part of our <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/build-it-series">"Build IT" series</a>.These executives spoke about how they use AI large language models in their personal and professional lives, how their roles have evolved as a result of the AI boom, and their top priorities. The conversation was moderated by BI's senior tech reporter Emma Cosgrove.The roundtable participants were:<ul><li>La'Naia Jones, the chief information officer of the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.cia.gov/">CIA</a>.</li><li>John Roese, the global chief technology officer and chief AI officer of <a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=89435d8fc76d09828f04475db59d25e39ae30562373c6e7d81ff9d9cffa72374&amp;postID=66eb0f7b69657a7deb4351bd&amp;postSlug=technology-executives-on-artificial-intelligence-applications-role-of-cto-cio-2024-9&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dell.com%2Fen-us">Dell Technologies</a>.</li><li>Elaine Zhou, a co-CEO of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.sagecxo.com/">SageCXO</a> and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.change.org/">Change.org's</a> former CTO.</li><li>Faisal Masud, the president of worldwide digital services at <a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=b9201568fbe393fd7c8826f24b11068b25db2ec28af44407721de564b92896e5&amp;postID=66eb0f7b69657a7deb4351bd&amp;postSlug=technology-executives-on-artificial-intelligence-applications-role-of-cto-cio-2024-9&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hp.com%2Fus-en%2Fhome.html">HP</a>.</li><li>Erin DeCesare, the CTO of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.ezcater.com/">ezCater</a>.</li></ul>The following transcript of the discussion was edited for length and clarity.Emma Cosgrove: What's your favorite use of an LLM in your daily life right now?Erin DeCesare: My favorite use of an LLM lately is trying to do more cross-functional, creative prompting. So using ChatGPT to say, "Can you give me some creative prompts to start the meeting?" has been a super fun way to bring energy into these conversations.John Roese: I renovated a 1780 house a couple of years ago, and I embedded a home AI system called <a target="_blank" href="https://www.josh.ai/">Josh</a>, which runs on a server in my basement.It's very privacy-oriented. I have a house that I just talk to or ask a question. I could ask it to close the shades, turn up the air conditioning, or tell me what the weather is. Or, I can say, "Could you explain something about the historical house down the street?"We all know that intrusive and difficult technology is never successful until it becomes invisible. That's what's happening in my world, where I forgot that I have an LLM in my house.Faisal Masud: For me on the personal front, it's been medical issues. A friend of our son recently had an issue. We just took a picture of it, and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-claude-chatbot-google-chatgpt-2023-3">Claude</a> gave an unbelievable diagnosis. Turns out the doctor's review was 100% identical to that diagnosis as well.I was at an outdoor event, got a rash, and did the same thing, just took a picture of it. It's literally having access to the world's encyclopedia at your fingertips.La'Naia Jones: I typically ask general questions and summarizations. I also look at how the LLMs are formulated to include topics such as bias, and how the underlying technology is used, which largely consists of data from the internet.Elaine Zhou: The thing I find most exciting about AI usage is my mom. She's turning 80. She's using it to plan for her Spain trip in November. She asked ChatGPT in Chinese, "How do you spend your time in Spain?" and it spit out all the recommendations for what you should do in Madrid.Cosgrove: How has the role of the CTO and CIO changed in the past 18 months?DeCesare: Historically, we thought of the CTO as leading engineering and the CIO as leading all the technology, the business uses. But we've had all these dynamics coming together, like cloud-based AI, where that line is completely blurred.My team realized this past year how things operate very differently. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-strategy-low-code-development-market-cloud-wars-2021-6">Low code</a> was a promise a few years back, but now it's a necessity. And we are in the phase where we want to move away from costly engineering and toward more automated practices.Things like Retool or Nintex are platforms that allow us to move what would be a software-engineering concern over to an IT-like business-operated capability.These distinctions are going away, and having the whole organization partner and cocreate is really testing people's identities. It's a creative, fun way to challenge people to think differently and out of their comfort zones.Roese: Every industry has technology disruptions that show up every few years. When you think about the speed at which we have to take advantage of these, that's not a typical IT cycle; that is a research and development cycle. So, obviously, we're blurring the lines, not just in terms of who does what work but how that work is done.We have to be able to interface in ways that we didn't before. The question is, how do you get the internal part of a giant company to move faster and behave more like an R&amp;D organization?We've been focused on understanding how our processes are evolving before we AI them. We don't waste a lot of time AI-ing bad processes, which was our biggest strategic risk at our scale. So there's lots of discipline and prioritization, but most importantly, a dramatic blurring of advanced software-development culture and the rest of the company. In the long term, those two have to come closer together to achieve the speed necessary for an AI cycle.Masud: To me, a lot of CIOs, specifically, as the lines blur, are looking at AI for all the purposes that we mentioned earlier but also to have fewer people because AI will solve XYZ problems.I feel like it's the opposite. It's about doing more with what you have versus what you potentially can get rid of. There has been a massive shift in consumer expectations and end-user expectations. If you look at Gen Z, they don't expect to wait five minutes for the computer to boot up. That's just not acceptable. They were born and raised in this generation, they use all the LLMs, and they're expecting a seamless experience.The challenge is going to come in where a lot of orgs are not going to allow you to use publicly available, cloud-sourced LLMs on corporate devices because they want to protect their data. Of course, they need to, but policing that is not going to be anywhere near easy. It's probably never going to happen because people have their own devices. So the quality of what you produce in your organization as a CTO — if you're going to provide models built in-house — better be superstar quality, or no one's using it.Another challenge is that the adoption of things like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-copilot-everyday-ai-companion-paid-subscription-2024-1">Copilot</a> is <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pharma-cio-cancelled-microsoft-copilot-ai-tool-2024-7">not as rapid</a> as one would have expected because the end users are used to a lot more, so the corporate user is still behind.Jones: Many of our colleagues have backgrounds in the IT or the defense community. There is nothing that we do singularly within the intelligence community because it's a team effort and a team sport.When talking about the question of the CTO and the CIO and about how it's changed in the last 18 months, I do think that government and public sector have a little bit of a different perspective versus the private sector, partially because within the public sector and more directly within government, the role of the chief information officers is actually listed or written in policy and statute.I think the role of the CIO has become, at least in government, a little more ingrained. We meet with lawyers, civil liberty and privacy experts, policy SMEs, and many others since data is foundational to the intelligence mission.We also do a lot of large-scale procurements and acquisitions with technology companies. We want to ensure that the contracts and the business relationships are fair and equitable as they may serve a government organization or even the nation from a broader national security perspective.Cosgrove: What's the most important North Star priority that you're looking at?DeCesare: It is trying to make something that's either benefiting the customer or driving productivity internally. You've got to have every function thinking of themselves as customers and seeking the solution because it's changing by the month — and unless you're having them actively test and try out new AI products, you're unlikely to find that value.I'll give a recent example: Our whole product team, we've been trying to encourage them to leverage AI to move faster on getting ideas to market and to test in our software product and having them pay attention to the GPT store. The recent <a target="_blank" href="https://www.chatprd.ai/">ChatPRD</a> is a way to automate creating the product-requirements documents. It's sort of fascinating how great it can actually get an initial baseline and just having the product manager create some edits, and that is enabling our speed to market for our own features out into the product. Everyone's got to be looking for the solutions and then understanding if it is actually helping them do their job better.Roese: The first and most important questions you have to answer as a company to figure out where to apply this technology are pretty simple: What makes you special? What is the core of your company?At Dell, it's four things: We have a giant at-scale engineering capability, the largest secure supply chain in the world, a global services capability, and the largest enterprise sales force in the world. You take those four things, and anything I do to them that makes them more competitive materially impacts my business. What you'll notice isn't on that list: HR and finance facilities. I could do lots of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dell-workers-layoffs-reaction-ai-restructuring-jobs-tech-2024-8">AI projects</a> there.We are interested in other areas, but in terms of prioritization, where do we land on <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-openai-ai-dictionary-help-understand-nvidia-2023-12">our GPUs</a>? What do we run in our data center? Where do we put the resources today? They are in those four areas as a priority. Once you understand that those are high level, then you have to ask if you are actually on a path where if you apply AI, you're going to get to an outcome.Are your processes and people even oriented to be successful when you bring AI into the equation? Each of those needed to go through a level of process re-engineering consideration. If you can't get to a point where your vision of a process re-engineered to solve a strategic problem is executable, your path to production is questionable.Masud: I spent the early part of my career at Amazon, and we were always about the inputs and not the outputs. When you focus on the inputs, the single biggest import in your company is your customer. Everything else, honestly, has to take a back seat.The implementation of any gen-AI or AI capabilities is first a crawl. What are the thorniest issues that the company faces today? If you can't solve those in a rapid fashion with the most basic, easy use cases, then trying to go from crawling to walking is a bit of a mirage because you're assuming you'll have some capability when you haven't even solved the most basic issues.What we should be measuring is how to use AI to prevent those issues from happening. That's the focus area for us at HP, through all sorts of mechanisms that we deploy in anomaly detection and remediations that don't require humans to be out of the loop.Zhou: The hardest part is to determine what is the problem. The No. 1 thing for me is that once you determine that, then, based on the problem, you can have all kinds of metrics and figure out how to measure the successes. The bottom line is to actually solve the problem in a good way.Cosgrove: How do you keep up with the artificial-intelligence space?Jones: It's constant learning. I would say we all deal with that, but the beauty of technology is it's always changing and evolving, and so I think all of us should focus on continuously learning, evolving, and embracing new ideas and not getting stuck in the same way of dealing with the issues that we have.Masud: I have two older kids, 26 and 22. Both of them code, so they are immensely involved in everything from ChatPRD and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/15/arts/design/aaron-ai-whitney.html">Aaron</a>, and I get links every day from my son on what he is building next. I think this rapid transformation of what [<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-taiwan-tsmc-jensen-huang-china-disruption-2024-9">Nvidia CEO</a>] <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-details-ai-infrastructure-roi-goldman-sachs-2024-9">Jensen [Huang]</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/jensen-huang-advises-against-learning-to-code-leave-it-up-to-ai">said</a>: Not a single line of code is going to be written after next year by a developer. Well, let's see. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-swift-returns-on-ai-infrastructure-2024-8">Jensen</a> is somebody I follow. Jensen is somebody I have an unbelievable amount of respect for. This is the GOAT.Zhou: So I love the concept of mom tests. If I can explain to my mom or someone who has absolutely no background in tech and then, in the way that I can explain, she can understand, that means I truly get it. And second, I keep up with my developers and many youngsters and crazy ideas, and they help me keep up and then use AI to help me keep up to date for AI development.DeCesare: I've been most inspired to drive the leverage of AI through the company by finding out how people have applied it. So honestly, with anyone that I'm meeting, whether it's on my team or my colleagues at other companies, I'm asking, "Where have you been applying?" and, "What are you learning?" Because it's the use cases that spark most of the creativity, leading me to a new idea of how we could use it in our company.Roese: Your customers will tell you what the problem is. They don't know what the solution is, but you have to listen to them about what the problem and the pain point is to figure out the solution. I spend a great deal of time out with startups and Silicon Valley companies and anybody in academics, anybody I can talk to, not because any of them have the answer but because they expose patterns. So it's very important to talk to the industry and the innovators to see what they're thinking about, even if they don't know what problem they're solving.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Defense tech startups are anticipating growth under Trump's second term.</li><li>Palmer Luckey's Anduril and others have recently secured large defense contracts.</li></ul>Some leaders in the defense tech industry, including Anduril cofounder Palmer Luckey, think that defense tech startups are poised for success during president-elect Donald Trump's second term.Over the last decade, Silicon Valley has made waves in the defense tech industry. Startups like Anduril, which makes autonomous vehicles for military use, have secured multimillion-dollar contracts from the US government. Luckey founded <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/top-military-weapons-tech-startups-anduril-white-stork-shield-ai-2024-9#anduril-industries-1">Anduril in 2017</a> after previously founding virtual reality company Oculus, which he sold to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-is-palmer-luckey">Meta for $2 billion</a>.Last month, Anduril unveiled its new AI-powered Bolt-M drone, which fits in a backpack. Anduril developed the drones <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/palmer-luckey-anduril-ai-attack-drone-video-bolt-m-2024-10">as part of $249 million in contracts</a> awarded to the companies Anduril, AeroVironment, and Teledyne FLIR to provide "kamikaze drones" for the Defense Department, according to DefenseScoop, a military news blog.In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Luckey said it is "good to have someone inbound who is deeply aligned with the idea that we need to be spending less on defense while still getting more: that we need to do a better job of procuring the defense tools that protect our country.""Anduril's been around for about eight years now," Luckey said. "We did well under Trump in his first administration, and we did even better under Biden in his administration, and I think we're going to do even better now."Some of the defense tech industry's optimism for Trump's victory lies in SpaceX founder <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-won-election-what-that-means-for-elon-musk-2024-11">Elon Musk's proximity</a> to the president-elect and his vice president, JD Vance, Forbes reported."The close relationships between Vance, Elon, and the defense VC and startup ecosystem will create a huge opening for real defense acquisition reform and widening of the number of players," Nathan Mintz, CEO of CX2, an electronic warfare company, told the outlet.Luckey told Bloomberg that Musk has "outperformed every reasonable expectation." Luckey said he was initially skeptical of Musk's ability to take on projects at his other ventures like SpaceX and X while "also keeping this administration focused on things like space.""But anyone who has ever bet against Elon has come away crying," Luckey said.Defense tech leaders also say the potential elimination of so-called "cost plus" contracts, which give contractors financial incentives for meeting certain performance measures, could be good for the industry, Forbes reported.Luckey told Bloomberg that cost-plus contracting "reward exactly the wrong things" and that defense product companies should be incentivized to use their own money to "decide what to build, how to build it, and when it's done.""Then they have skin in the game," Luckey said. "When they fail, they lose money. When they succeed, they make money."Luckey, a longtime supporter of Donald Trump, said he was "certain" that Trump would win the election and that his victory did not influence Anduril's planning because it was "already baked in."Luckey added that the defense industry is "one of the few that has actually successfully remained pretty nonpartisan," noting that he is a Republican and Anduril CEO Brian Schimf is a Democrat."The idea that the United States military should have the strongest military in the world and that we should defend our allies around the world … it's a pretty non-partisan idea," Luckey told Bloomberg.

Such acts of violence threaten democracy," he said.<h3 id="02688302-2ca2-462b-a526-84d6021e9654">Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi</h3>India's Prime Minister said he was concerned about the attack on his "friend" and strongly condemned the incident."Violence has no place in politics and democracies. Wish him speedy recovery," Modi wrote on X.<h3 id="7deb2fac-14f8-4d8e-aaa7-36411d03e66b">Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni</h3>Meloni said of Trump: "My solidarity and my best wishes for a speedy recovery go to him, with the hope that the next few months of the electoral campaign will see dialogue and responsibility prevail over hatred and violence."<h3 id="f156faf4-3afc-4b50-88c1-c4dfc52f985b">Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida</h3>Japan's Kishida said, "We must stand firm against any form of violence that challenges democracy."One of Kishida's predecessors, former Japanese Prime Minister <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/live-updates-japans-former-prime-minister-shinzo-abe-shot-2022-7">Shinzo Abe, was assassinated in 2022</a>.

World leaders are rallying behind Donald Trump after he survived an assassination attempt

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Israel said on Saturday that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had been killed.</li><li>Hezbollah has since confirmed the news.</li></ul><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/idf-says-hezbollah-leader-nasrallah-is-dead-2024-9">Israel said on Saturday that Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah</a> had been killed in a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-hezbollah-massive-strikes-headquarters-nasrallah-lebanon-2024-9">targeted strike</a> on the group's central headquarters in Beirut.Hezbollah has since confirmed the news of his death in a statement, in which it warned that it would "continue its jihad in confronting the enemy, in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon."It marks the end of Nasrallah's 32-year reign at the helm of Hezbollah and will come as a major blow to the group.Born in 1960 in eastern Beirut, Nasrallah would go on to become a skillful guerilla commander before establishing himself as a popular political figure in Lebanon who was seen as "charismatic and highly intelligent," according to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).He took over Hezbollah in 1992 after Israel assassinated the group's previous leader and cofounder Abbas al-Musawi.Nasrallah gained widespread popularity for overseeing the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000 and the so-called "divine victory" in the 2006 Lebanon War. He garnered increased support after he secured a deal to release more than 400 Palestinian, Lebanese, and Arab prisoners in 2004.Under his leadership, Hezbollah also greatly expanded its military capabilities — particularly in the wake of the 2006 war — acquiring a large stockpile of rockets and missiles.The group, which has been funded by Iran for decades, has become <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://missilethreat.csis.org/country/hezbollahs-rocket-arsenal/">one of the most heavily armed non-state actors in the world</a>.But Nasrallah's tenure did see moments of controversy in Lebanon. He sent thousands of fighters from his Shia Muslim Hezbollah to intervene in Syria's civil war after it broke out in 2011, backing President Bashar al-Assad's regime against largely Sunni Muslim rebel groups — and despite Assad's ostracization from the Arab world.The group's support from Sunni Muslims dropped due to its involvement in the fighting, per the CFR.But more recently, Nasrallah had been instrumental in Hezbollah's military operations against Israel following the latter's war in Gaza, which has helped rebuild the group's popularity among Arab states.Nasrallah was predeceased by his eldest son, Hadi, who was killed while fighting against Israeli troops in 1997.

Indian tourism industry leaders spotlight Uttar Pradesh as safe and diverse travel destination

Executives from 10 companies who are participants in our first-ever Workforce Innovation Board convened for a virtual roundtable on August 21.The group was asked to share which topics they're most focused on between AI, worker well-being, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and C-suite transformation.While worker well-being and AI were the most commonly cited trends, there's clear overlap and intersectionality across all four topics.Successful employees need training and support, equitable and fair access to opportunities, and reassurances about the integration of AI. C-suite leaders, facing internal and external scrutiny and pressures, need a productive and motivated workforce, and to organize in new ways to enable innovation.At the inflection point is the enormous job companies have to not only encourage AI adoption but also equip employees with what they need to take part in the transformation that is underway."There's a positive story to be told," said Jack Azagury, the group chief executive for consulting at Accenture. "Related to that is a massive amount of reskilling and training that's going to need to happen to make sure nobody's left behind on this journey."In this article, discover what each board member told us about their workplace priorities.The following has been edited for length and clarity.<h2>'We're trying to understand a more holistic view of worker well-being'</h2>Shane Koller, senior vice president and chief people officer, AncestryThe two topics we're most focused on are worker well-being and DEI.We transitioned to a hybrid-flexible work environment a couple of years back, and we've been trying to understand both the positives and the negatives from that shift. We've been a very culture-centric company in the past.Now having more people distributed throughout the world, there's a question coming up more often about whether or not people feel too disconnected from their colleagues, so we're trying to understand a more holistic view of worker well-being.The other is diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are looking to build products that bring more people in from across the globe. We believe our workforce needs to represent the diversity of the world in order to build great products.<h2>'The key to unlocking the potential of AI is to make sure that our employees are embracing it and are excited about the value'</h2>Lucrecia Borgonovo, chief talent and organizational-effectiveness officer, MastercardTop of mind is C-suite innovation, but it's more around organizational transformation.Earlier this year, Mastercard announced changes in our organizational structure in support of the new vision and strategic priorities that our CEO has laid out: How do we make sure that we're structuring to unlock the potential and growth of the organization?Related to that is AI. As part of this new organizational structure, we announced our chief AI and data officer, one individual who would help bring together a cohesive strategy and vision for the organization's AI.The key to unlocking the potential of AI is to make sure that our employees are embracing it and are excited about the value these new technologies can have on their well-being and the quality of their work.We're making a lot of different resources available for employees, whether they're on demand or self-paced, depending on where they are in their AI journey and the type of work that they do.<h2>'The intersection of AI and C-suite transformation is pervasive'</h2>Jack Azagury, group chief executive for consulting, AccentureIn terms of the work that I do with clients, the intersection of AI and C-suite transformation is pervasive. In over 400 client discussions in the last nine months, only three did not include the topic of AI.A lot of our clients have dozens of AI pilots everywhere. Very few have a coherent business case and a true reinvention and transformation.So at that intersection, how do you take a few areas of the company and look at them end to end with a business case that could include revenue uplift, or cost, or employee engagement — but a real business case and a real talent strategy. How do you retrain your employees and reskill? What new jobs do you need? What jobs will go away? What superpowers will employees get? And then having the right tech stack, the right data, the right responsible AI framework.So how do you have a holistic C-suite transformation powered by a move away from a lot of AI pilots that are just plugged into existing processes — which are interesting but not having a fundamental impact on the performance of the company?<h2>'C-suite transformation is harder and more interesting than ever'</h2>Alicia Pittman, global people-team chair, BCGI'm responsible for driving generative-AI usage across BCG. We want our people to be at that cutting edge in terms of responsible AI and understanding all the risks of it, to use it creatively, and to be able to live in our clients' shoes about what it takes to make this amazing technology have high impact.AI is driving better, higher-quality impact and insights for us, which is most important. It is driving areas of productivity. But the other thing that lights me up the most is that it's really improving what I would call joy.One of the quotes I love is from focus groups where someone said, "The thing I love about AI is that it saves me at the ugliest hours of the day." That time when you're sitting at a blank screen toward the end of the day and you don't know what to do, that's when AI really is a friend.C-suite transformation is harder and more interesting than ever. The markets are volatile. The half-life of market leadership keeps getting shorter and shorter. We have C-suite executives and the clients that we serve wrestling — needing to both save costs but also invest in AI and change the way they lead and manage their workforce.<h2>'AI is not about cost takeout. It's about the ability to do more and amplify the potential of our employees.'</h2>Anant Adya, executive vice president, service-offering head, and head of Americas delivery, InfosysDEI, and within that, gender diversity, is something that we are very passionate about.At the company level, we are at 39.3% women, but as you go up the value chain, the gender diversity actually drops. So we are deliberately trying to see what we can do to improve that percentage at senior levels.The second is, of course, AI. And the way we look at AI is it's not about cost takeout or cost savings, but it is about how we use AI and amplify the potential of our employees to do more.Most think that with AI, you can take cost out, you can save money. But AI, and especially generative AI, is not about cost takeout. It's about the ability to do more and amplify the potential of our employees.<h2>'Studies have shown that employees want managers who are engaged, who are coaches versus supervisors'</h2>Marjorie Powell, chief human-resource officer and senior vice president, AARPThe topics we've been focusing on are workplace well-being and artificial intelligence and emerging tech. We have to reach our 38 million members, and now with the use of this technology, we can meet them where they are and personalize their experience.In order for us to do this, we're allowing our staff to use AI within their jobs and to create innovative ways to amplify their work and meet their goals and objectives. We've always been very excited about adopting technologies, particularly as it pertains to making people's lives better as they age.I also spend a lot of time on worker well-being because of the new hybrid work environment, and this goes to our people-leader effectiveness. Studies have shown that employees want managers who are engaged, who are coaches versus supervisors.So we are transforming that leadership quotient for our people leaders within the company to be able to adjust to that and make sure that we have a very robust work environment, no matter where the person sits or where they work from.<h2>'We've had to move upstream from being focused on workplace to the very nature of work and the workforce itself'</h2>Neil Murray, CEO, Work Dynamics at JLLMy day job is working with the biggest corporations in the world and helping them with their workplace strategy, which obviously has changed quite dramatically over the last number of years.We've had to move upstream from being focused on workplace to the very nature of work and the workforce itself, hence worker well-being being at the center of what we do and our thinking. The second thing would be C-suite transformation. For me, that incorporates both AI and DEI.Sitting on the executive board of a global Fortune 200 business, the world has changed quite dramatically for us in how we organize ourselves in terms of operating model. The skills required have changed quite dramatically. The notion of empathetic leaders who deeply understand people but also have the skills to leverage platforms at scale, to deal with ongoing geopolitical tensions and macro challenges that seem to have become the norm in leadership.What doesn't serve us well is the notion of the rise of nationalism and protectionism — how do we deal with that? How do we find the balance between global vertical expertise with the local knowledge and execution required to operate in this world around us?<h2>'We have made significant commitments to responsible AI'</h2>Maggie Hulce, chief revenue officer, IndeedEvery three seconds, somebody gets a job on Indeed. We come at this with a focus on how we help our employees but also how we're helping the world of work.For AI, we're thinking a lot about how to improve how we work, fraud detection, next best action marketing copy, many things like that. We also have a commitment to help 30 million people facing bias get hired. And so we have made significant commitments to responsible AI and have published our responsible-AI principles.A big focus for us is worker well-being. We have a work-happiness score, which is the largest dataset in the world of what makes workers happy in their roles. It includes lots of different dimensions, like fair pay, flexibility, inclusion, learning, and how your manager works with you.We think a lot about how to use this dataset to help advocate for better work for people, given research that shows many people don't love their jobs and are not totally thriving at work. We also study it for ourselves, and there are things we're working on ourselves as an employer to make our workplace a place where people want to stay and grow their careers.<h2>'There's a constant discussion around not only whether AI is going to replace my role but also how to stay relevant'</h2>Kenon Chen, executive vice president of strategy and growth, Clear CapitalThere's been a lot of attention on the property-appraisal industry over the past few years from an equity standpoint.We've seen ourselves as a company that wants to bring accuracy, fairness, and modernization to the process of valuing properties. That's why AI is an important topic for us because it's not so much about just creating efficiencies; it's about creating more accurate outcomes and results.We see a really strong tie between AI and worker well-being because a lot of the solutions that AI could be appropriate for have an impact on the way that people work and how their jobs might look.Because we work directly with real-estate professionals — appraisers, real-estate brokers, and agents — there's a constant discussion around not only whether AI is going to replace my role but also how to stay relevant to the process and bring what's needed in terms of human expertise.<h2>'The hybrid work environment has really changed how our leaders show up'</h2>Sharawn Tipton, chief people and culture officer, LiveRampC-suite transformation is a very intentional focus for us, and there's certainly opportunity.So it's about developing those leaders, holding them accountable — not just to our objectives but also to their behaviors — and grooming the next level of leadership as well. The hybrid work environment has really changed how our leaders show up and how we develop them in various areas.The other area that is extremely important around product is artificial intelligence. AI will fuel data collaboration, which is what we do, so we are infusing that into our products. I'm also thinking about how we infuse that into our employees' day-to-day work. There's a lot of complexity there.There's also a conversation that needs to be had around how AI will impact underrepresented groups and do they have the skills necessary to operate in that space.
