Claims can be submitted online until February 8. “I never made a single penny from the project, period. In fact, the opposite is true, because I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to make it happen,” Paul said in his post. “Like…

That said, Oxford University Press has named ‘rizz’ word of the year, but the term AI is still becoming increasingly inescapable! AI can be bewildering for busy business leaders focussed on managing their teams and looking after their bottom lines to keep up with the quickly expanding range of AI tools available to them. It’s even more challenging for non-tech savvy leaders who may struggle to visualise the concept, let alone consider how it can be applied to their operations or services.

In and out of the workplace, people often keep adverse information about themselves secret because they worry that others will judge them harshly. But those fears are overblown, according to new research from the McCombs School of Business. In fact, when study participants pushed through fear to reveal a secret, those in whom they confided were significantly more charitable than they expected. “When we’re thinking about conveying negative information about ourselves, we’re focused on the content of the message,” said study co-author Amit Kumar, assistant professor of marketing at Texas McCombs. “But the recipients are thinking about the positive traits…
