Founder & CEO of Workmetrics, a leader in workforce software. Doctor of Information Technology specialising in data integration and AI.Gone are the days when the concept of a smart building meant having a thermostat with an app. Simple automation has given way to sentient infrastructure that anticipates needs before tenants even realize they have them.The move is as much about efficiency as it is about strategically diving into AI-led predictive orchestration. Slowly but surely, managing properties is becoming a discipline where curating intelligent environments is front and center, with every square foot digitally optimized and remarkably self-aware.Artificial intelligence is now…
Published June 10, 2026 04:00AMAfter much ballyhoo, the Enhanced Games wrapped very early on the morning of May 25. By midday, cherry pickers and semis were breaking down the elaborate arena built in the parking lot of the Resorts World Casino on the Las Vegas strip. The eight-lane track; the six-lane pool, the deadlifting platform where “Thor” Björnsson, aka The Mountain, attempted a world record, all in various stages of decomposition. The struts and rafters were being moved into storage for potential future use. Rented as they were, the bright lights that had shone on the 42 athletes and 2,285…

‘The Duskbloods’ is looking really good on Switch 2.FromSoftware, NintendoThe upcoming FromSoftware Switch 2 game, The Duskbloods, received a new trailer and revealed that the game will get a closed network test this Summer.The closed network test is definitely good news, as the Soulsborne games all have a very specific kind of online multiplayer.While those games work great on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, the Switch online architecture is rather specific. So having this setup stress tested before launch is a very good thing.The game itself also looks so much better than it did from some of the earlier trailers, and…
Building a retail brand from scratch is harder than it looks. However, after transforming her jewelry business into a $1 billion brand, Kendra Scott is sharing her learnings with other entrepreneurs, including the three elements that were crucial to her success. When she started her business, wholesale was key, Scott explained during the Inc. Small Business Week Series. “I didn’t have money for advertising and marketing,” she said. “But Nordstrom, they’re a huge megaphone for my brand. I was in their books or their catalogs. They were doing the marketing for me. And that was driving my direct-to-consumer business or e-commerce business.” Scott…
The little discussed question of what to do when an attorney fails to detect that the opposing side has relied on AI hallucinations.gettyIn today’s column, I examine the seldom-analyzed circumstance of what should or does happen if an attorney fails to catch the fact that the opposing counsel in a case relied upon AI hallucinations as part of their official court filings.This particular topic is not given much airtime. The air in the room goes to the attorneys that crossed the sacred line and used AI-hallucinated content in their formal filings. The base assumption is that they certainly must have…
When I became president at 29, it happened over a weekend. On Friday, I was a regional sales rep. On Monday, I was running a $30 million company. There was no five-year training plan. No executive onboarding. No carefully choreographed succession runway. Over the next 15 years, we grew the business from $30 million to more than $230 million and the team from 50 people to 450. At the time, it looked reckless. Looking back, I’m convinced that what seemed like a disadvantage for me was actually an advantage for the company—one a slow, tidy transition could never have produced.…

We know the planet is getting hotter, but some of the grim details about what exactly that means for humanity remain a mystery. Researchers are racing to peer into the not-too-distant future of the climate crisis to better prepare us for the worst-case scenarios to come. A new climate study published on Tuesday found that by 2040, overwhelming urban heat and spiking temperatures in the U.S. could double the number of people hospitalized with heat-related illnesses (HRIs). Using advanced modeling, the researchers predicted that HRIs could result in 217,000 hospitalizations by 2040 in a low-emissions scenario and as many as…
