A report by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has highlighted "serious governance issues" with the Department of Culture's oversight of state bodies, after the Arts Council's failed IT project.

Advocates for geoengineering-or, at a minimum, of pursuing research into geoengineering-say that such risks impose obligations. They note that, since attempts to limit warming have failed, it's incumbent on humanity to consider all the options. "If sunlight reflection could save lives and protect the environment, it is at least worth discussing," David Keith and Zeke Hausfather, both climate scientists, wrote in a recent essay for the Times. "I don't think we have the luxury of saying there are certain options we don't explore and study," Yedvab, the co-founder of Stardust, said. "Just as a metaphor, if there is one person in a household who's in a crisis, you want to make sure that you have all the options in front of you of how to deal with this crisis."

Every company has different internal dynamics and different ways of working, right? says Kariem Abdellatif, the head of Mercator by Citco (Mercator), a specialist entity management provider that helps organizations manage their global entity portfolios, including during complex M&A transactions. So the system you set up has to be able to accommodate those differences, and the entire governance framework for managing entities needs to be flexible enough to handle not just the current complexity, but also future organizational changes.

So, picture a moment when a new source of information comes online, turns into a go-to for people everywhere, sometimes to the chagrin of professors and bosses, but becomes a household name and really changes the internet. So we're doing AI again. Actually I am talking about Wikipedia, the online crowdsourced encyclopedia, which for a long time generated a lot of skepticism, but today is actually seen as a pretty trusted source of information. It's an example of an organization that actually created something positive on the internet.

AI can be used both for and against the public interest within democracies. It is already being used in the governing of nations around the world, and there is no escaping its continued use in the future by leaders, policy makers, and legal enforcers. How we wire AI into democracy today will determine if it becomes a tool of oppression or empowerment.

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

Ruby Central, the non-profit that recently seized some Ruby open source tools from maintainers, is transferring the repository ownership of RubyGems and Bundler to the Ruby core team. The move appears to be an attempt to mollify the Ruby community following a divisive power grab, but it does not restore the control of those tools to the maintainers who previously oversaw them.

Cloud computing forms the backbone of our increasingly digital world, enabling businesses to operate more efficiently, grow faster, and innovate with flexibility. Despite its advantages, the cloud is not immune to data breaches caused by weak security practices. Alarmingly, some of the biggest risks do not stem from technical errors or malicious hackers but from the very people responsible for protecting cloud resources: security professionals themselves.

There is a natural tendency to peer backward through rose-colored glasses. Yes, the world was burning and falling apart in 1968, too. But the news came with the Chronicle in the morning and the Examiner in the afternoon. In the evening, when Walter Cronkite told you " And that's the way it is," that's the way it was. That isn't the way it is anymore.

I remain in my role as CEO of Pride in London and as a director of London LGBT Community Pride CIC. The current legal and governance matters relate to the organisation itself. These matters are being addressed through the appropriate channels, and it would be inappropriate to litigate them in the press. Nothing in this statement should be interpreted as an admission of any allegation, nor does it comment on any other individual.

Current staff at the Alan Turing Institute have raised concerns regarding governance and internal culture, highlighting eight key issues that pose a risk of potential collapse due to funding threats.

Ethics can connote a certain morality, a certain set of norms, and multinational companies are often dealing with many different cultures. Ethics can become a fraught term even within the same country where you have polarised views on what is right, what is fair.

Trump's first run for office was itself a kind of petty tantrum. Trump had always wanted to run for president, a wish he expressed as far back as the 1980s.

Oakland's city charter is failing its residents and must be changed. The current three-branches-of-government model creates inefficiencies and disconnections.

"With Vision, we're creating a transparent and dynamic framework where token holders have a direct say in how the ecosystem evolves. This isn't just another Web3 product - it's a user-centric model that reflects the needs of its community."

"Customers want a model where on-premises infrastructure offers the same flexibility as the cloud. So scalable, quick to deploy, and without long delivery times," Bal explains.
