It could be the end of the world as we know it. Or maybe it’s all just a marketing stunt. Somehow, these have become the two poles of the debate about the future of artificial intelligence and its potential perils. While the argument has been going for a while, it reached a fever pitch when a researcher at leading AI developer Anthropic resigned and issued a public warning that recklessly designed AI could literally wipe out humanity (for example by helping bad actors create a virus or other bioweapon, or even by going rogue and attacking infrastructure). Days later, Anthropic…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways CEOs who delay tough calls on underperforming programs or leaders heading into Q4 — hoping the issue resolves on its own — almost always face the same problem again the following year. To run a Q4 course correction, CEOs must stop waiting for the calendar to fix what’s broken, focus on customer stories, uncover the real problem, prepare for surprises and check their egos. Over the years, I’ve seen many CEOs make a common mistake heading into Q4. Instead of taking action, they wait. They tell themselves an underperforming program…
Russia is holding elections for the ninth State Duma from September 18–20, 2026, making this the first national parliamentary election since the West Neocons instigated this war against Russia through Ukraine as their proxy, forcing Putin to come to the Russians’ rescue in the Donbas in February 2022. All 450 seats in the lower house are up for election for five-year terms. The election therefore comes at an unusually important moment: the Ukraine war has lasted more than four years, and Ukraine’s drone attacks have deliberately sought to influence these elections with the objective of supporting the Russia hawks. We…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI systems inherit the assumptions and blind spots of the data they’re trained on, so scaling AI means scaling those limitations — including when you train on your top performers. Any business using AI-powered tools inherits bias risk whether or not it built the model, which makes governance a leadership responsibility, not just an engineering one. When Google’s Gemini rollout sparked controversy over biased outputs, many companies treated the situation like a technical mistake. The larger issue was far more important. The incident exposed a reality many organizations still avoid…
I wrote about Angela Lipps back in March because her case demonstrated exactly what happens when government begins trusting a computer more than basic human investigation. Now this 50-year-old Tennessee grandmother is suing the City of Fargo and a former detective for $10 million after spending nearly six months behind bars for crimes she says she could not possibly have committed. She had never even been to North Dakota before this nightmare began, yet facial recognition software identified her as a possible match in a bank fraud investigation and the government machinery took over from there. Lipps was arrested at…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Speed in a crisis is built before it happens: appoint your response team, pre-approve an initial statement and decide who has authority to issue it within minutes, not days. Your first statement doesn’t need to answer everything — it needs to show leadership is present and engaged before fabricated narratives fill the silence. Last year, most people encountered Astronomer through a viral clip. In July 2025, the data company’s CEO and chief people officer were caught embracing on a Coldplay concert kiss cam and became one of the most viral…
Apparently, understanding debt is optional when you are running for the authority to create more of it. Legal Insurrection reports that Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon complained about repaying taxes and student loans, including her statement: “I don’t wanna pay it back. Education supposed to be free.” There you have the promise that keeps politics in business. Declare something free, hand the obligation to government, and pretend the cost has disappeared. Nixon said it is “crazy” to expect she repay $17,600 in outstanding student loan debt and $14,000 in back taxes. What is “crazy” is seeking a seat in…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Innovation matters, but adaptability matters more. Understanding your customers is a competitive advantage. Long-term trust outlasts short-term growth. When people think of the industries shaping the future of business, property management probably isn’t at the top of the list. Most entrepreneurs likely don’t think they have much to learn from the housing industry. But after two decades spent building software for landlords and property managers, I’ve found that it is one of the best places to learn what it really takes to build a lasting company. Housing is one of…
The tiny Oxfordshire village of Piddington has held a symbolic referendum to leave the United Kingdom after the government proposed housing up to 1,200 male asylum seekers at a former Ministry of Defense base roughly half a mile away. Piddington has only about 350 residents, yet 285 voted to secede while just 26 voted against it. Parish chairman Tim McNally declared that the community would henceforth call itself the “Principality of Piddington,” saying residents had sent a message not merely to the region or country but “to the world.” Obviously, Piddington has not legally left Britain, but anyone laughing at…
Key Takeaways Flodstrom opted out of college to focus on making music and other art. His pill bottle side table went viral on social media and led to a NO LOGO partnership. Now, Flodstrom is leaning into the momentum and brainstorming additional products. Growing up, Oskar Flodstrom always loved to draw and create. But he didn’t think being an artist was a realistic profession. He considered becoming an engineer, hoping it might give him a creative outlet. Image Credit: Courtesy of NO LOGO. Oskar Flodstrom. “But then I found out what an engineer actually was, and it was kind of…
