☆ Vista's Robert Smith: How to prevent AI from further widening the racial wealth gap
  + stars: | 2024-10-29 | by ( Robert Smith | Ceo Of Vista Equity Partners | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
For example, according to a recent McKinsey study, Black Americans are 10% more likely to be working jobs slated for AI automation. If current trends hold, the new wealth created by GenAI alone will increase the racial wealth gap by $43 billion annually, according to McKinsey. That begins with infrastructure that supports AI enablement for all, including education on AI tools, access to the internet and power to compute. SFI has been working hard to close the digital divide in Black communities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), 82% of which reside in broadband deserts. This work is bridging access gaps and ensuring that underrepresented talent thrives in the rapidly growing and in-demand field of AI.

Robert Smith, founder, chair and CEO of Vista Equity Partners, speaks at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, California, U.S., May 2, 2016. With this debt, Vista could generate strong returns if Pluralsight's business performed well, according to the sources. They also show that Vista propped up Pluralsight by allowing it to borrow $162.5 million from its private equity fund. "The company experienced rapid deterioration of its business in the first quarter," Vista wrote in a fund document dated May 28. In a May 28 update to fund investors, Vista said Pluralsight's equity value went from $1.5 billion to zero in the first quarter of 2024.

In the case of many a successful startup founder, that means working a day job before they're ready to strike out and start their own new business. Multiple big-name companies top the list, according to a new report from small-business lending platform OnDeck, which examined large U.S. companies with high rates of former employees launching their own businesses. The top four companies on OnDeck's list all hail from the consulting world, which isn't surprising: Consultants at those companies are often tasked with helping clients hone their management and business strategies. Goldman Sachs leads the way among financial services companies on OnDeck's rankings, with 5.92% of former employees becoming founders. By focusing primarily on large companies, OnDeck's report doesn't provide a comprehensive list.
☆ Billionaire Robert F. Smith's awkward James Bond-themed birthday bash featured strict security and port-a-potties — despite being held at his multimillion dollar mansion with 15 bathrooms

For his 60th birthday, billionaire Robert F. Smith's wife threw him a James Bond-themed party. Partygoers weren't pleased with the "massive security" and port-a-potties outside, according to the New York Post. "They frisked you when you came out of the bathroom," one guest told New York Post, suggesting it was in an effort to search for hidden cameras and other surveillance technology. Despite the home boasting 15 bathrooms, guests say they were asked to use port-a-potties placed outside during the five-hour long party. It wasn't a great party," the guest told the New York Post.
