The Trump administration is withdrawing the United States from a handful of international organizations that work to strengthen cybersecurity. As part of a broader pullback from 66 international organizations, the administration is leaving the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise, the Online Freedom Coalition and the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats. Trump’s decision is in line with a president who has expressed hostility toward the existing international order, an approach critics fear creates a leadership power vacuum for U.S. adversaries to fill. “The Trump Administration has found these institutions to be redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful,…

Advisors have been seeking ever greater efficiency and more seamless integration between their tools for all 19 of the years I’ve been covering advisor technology.I first explicitly touched on the availability of workflow automation back in 2011 and, two years later, quasi-defined the concept in another piece as the “modern-day convergence of repeatable processes meeting technology.”From that time onward, workflow creation was primarily a specialization often found in CRM platforms. However, what I heard from advisors back then and continue to hear today is how time-consuming and tedious it can be to create them.“They don’t like CRM workflows, they hate…

The promise of artificial intelligence was front and center at this year’s CES gadget show. But spicing up a simple machine like a refrigerator with unnecessary AI was also a surefire way to win the “Worst in Show.” The annual contest that no tech company wants to win announced its decisions Thursday. Among those getting the notorious “anti-awards” for invasive, wasteful or fragile products were an eye-tracking AI “soulmate” companion for combating loneliness, a musical lollipop and new AI features for Amazon’s widely used doorbell cameras.Shouting at a ‘bespoke AI’ fridge that also hawks grocery productsSamsung’s “Bespoke AI Family Hub”…
