Summary
Regardless of whether a partial federal government shutdown happens this week, businesses should be prepared and plan accordingly for potential impacts. Several large U.S. banks are entertaining the thought of a 10% rate on a credit card, which flies in the face of all warnings the banking industry has put out there on any such move. An AI company has been sued because it allegedly helped companies score job candidates without the candidates’ knowledge of what data was collected or how it was being used to evaluate. This is a bellwether moment for companies that use AI in hiring. Listen to the podcast.
