During the NFL’s 2024 AFC championship game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs, play was stopped when a drone entered restricted airspace over the stadium. The operator later pleaded guilty to violating national defense airspace. Thirteen months later, a wild-card playoff game featuring the Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers was suspended for the same reason. According to the NFL security chief, Cathy Lanier, unauthorized drone incursions over NFL stadiums jumped from 67 in 2018 to 2,845 in 2023—an increase of 42x. For most of that time, the league had almost no legal mechanism to stop them. The 2026…

As the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote approaches, the verdict on Britain’s economic performance is clear: voting to leave has resulted in severe costs for households and businesses.The immediate recession predicted in the Treasury forecasts ordered by George Osborne – dubbed “project fear” by the Leave campaign – did not happen. The impact from the Covid pandemic, wars in Ukraine and Iran, and Donald Trump’s trade battles also cloud the picture.But experts agree the long-term forecasters were on the money: the economy is significantly smaller than it would otherwise have been, trade has suffered, business investment and productivity growth…

Walking into World Labs—the San Francisco startup cofounded by Fei-Fei Li, known in tech circles as the “godmother of AI”—visitors are met with a wall tiled in rainbow hues. A grand piano beckons at the end of the deep, sunlit lobby. Chair-size iridescent spheres rest against the walls, as if a giant forgot to pick up his toys. But around the corner, the walls and floor look scrambled, like a cubist painting left out in the rain. Luckily, this “world” is just a simulation of the World Labs lobby I’ve built using Marble, the company’s generative AI app. My real…

Keir Starmer is expected to announce sweeping “Australia-plus” restrictions on under-16s accessing harmful social media apps, a move the government has framed as taking the side of parents against the big technology companies.A consultation on online safety closed on 26 May, giving ministers just weeks to come up with policies after receiving more than 116,000 responses. Industry sources and child safety advocates have described the process as “rushed” and driven by a political timeline. It is not clear when the ban could come into force.Key to the ban is one of the thorniest issues in technology regulation worldwide: how can…

Over the next two decades, roughly $124 trillion is expected to change hands in what analysts describe as the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history. A growing share of that wealth is moving to women through inheritance, entrepreneurship, and rising lifetime earnings. At the same time, healthcare is confronting another reality: Much of modern medicine was built around male biology. Those two shifts are beginning to collide. For decades, women were routinely excluded from clinical trials. In the United States, women were not required to be included in federally funded studies until 1993. Drug dosing, symptom recognition, diagnostic frameworks, and…

It’s been six months since Claudia first applied to renew her US immigration status – a process that, for the last 14 years, would only take a few weeks.But now, the prolonged delay has put her life on hold. Claudia, who moved to the US when she was four, has maintained legal status as a “Dreamer” with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) program, which was created in 2012 to protect undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children from deportation.In December, Claudia submitted her Daca renewal, as she is required to do every two years. Under the…

For years, companies treated employee mental health as peripheral rather than central to their core operations. It was something you offered employees as a benefit, pointed people toward as a resource, or handed off to HR rather than owned at a leadership level. That era is over. Mental health now shapes how people lead, collaborate, solve problems, manage stress, and stay in the workforce—in other words, it shapes the very things organizations depend on to perform. The most forward-thinking companies recognize this and are already acting on it: designating mental health days, investing in manager training so leaders can spot…

The Adoption Gap Is Costing Enterprises Millions If you have led or supported an enterprise software rollout, you have almost certainly lived through some version of this: months of planning, a significant training investment, confident feedback from participants—followed by a go-live that generates more confusion than competence, a flood of helpdesk tickets, and an executive team wondering where the expected productivity gains have gone. This isn’t an edge case. Gartner research shows that only 48% of digital initiatives meet or exceed their business outcome targets. That means more than half of the enterprise technology investments made today are underperforming relative…
