When technology challenges ethics, how can governance keep pace? As the divide continues to widen, how can inclusiveness be achieved? At the opening ceremony of the 2026 World […]

Open source tools are allowing teams to build observability into AI and LLM applications without surrendering control of sensitive prompts, outputs, or internal workflows. As AI-powered systems move from experimentation into everyday business operations, the need to understand their behaviour in production has become impossible to ignore. Traditional application monitoring was designed for deterministic software, […]

The majority of lead compounds fail before they become valid candidates for preclinical testing. Of the candidates that do make it to the preclinical stage, most will never reach clinical trials. And of those that enter human studies, only one in ten makes it through all stages of clinical development. While AI may seem like […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) can increase CPA practice effectiveness and output without additional headcount. It can be particularly helpful in small firms where staffing, budgets, and resources are limited. Firms are already using AI to speed up tax work, support audit and assurance work, and build simple tools to improve communication with clients. According to a […]
