Draft night is one of the best nights in sports. It's so exciting to see young athletes hear their names called and take the next step toward becoming NFLPA union members. Congrats to everyone making their NFL dreams a reality tonight.

Medicare will start requiring prior approval for certain procedures — and will hire private AI companies to determine if patients are covered. The AI companies would have financial incentives to deny claims, because Medicare plans to pay them some of the savings from rejections.

Could Trump, a fellow who’s ignorant about so much, be trusted to make the correct and difficult decisions on AI? It was a conversation the American public didn’t have. Now that he's in that position, he's letting Big Tech run wild—as long as its chatbots accept his lies.

Private equity chooses to bury & mismatch key data, making it harder for investment professionals to see what assets are really worth. If experts can’t decipher reports, how can everyday workers judge whether to risk their 401(k) and retirement savings?
