To do so, Edelman recently promoted Brian Buchwald to global chair of product and AI to oversee the firm's AI investments. Buchwald joined Edelman in 2023 and was previously the global head of product, trust data, and technology at the firm. Previously, this tool used small language models and now uses generative AI and large language models, Buchwald said. Using generative AI has increased the tool's ability to predict future trustworthiness with 97% accuracy, he said. More broadly, holding companies have made significant investments into generative AI for content creation that compete with Edelman.

Currently, individuals and married couples can gift or bequeath $13.61 million and $27.22 million, respectively, before a 40% federal estate tax kicks in. Here are nine little-known techniques that wealthy real estate owners use to pay less to Uncle Sam:Qualified personal residence trusts, better known as "QPRTs," effectively freeze the value of a real estate property for tax purposes.

The heirs don't own the trust assets, but rather have lifetime rights to the trust's income and real estate.

They're more likely to have consistently positive feelings about themselves, their abilities, and their perception of acceptance by others.

It is therefore no surprise that the advent of big data, data analytics, and disruptive technologies such as generative AI have brought in sweeping changes and opportunities to reinvent critical business areas. When customers trust a business, it empowers the organization to pioneer groundbreaking initiatives, embracing risk to craft new products and refine existing ones. While the balance between trust and innovation emerges as a critical lever for progress, the role of transparency in cultivating and maintaining this trust cannot be overstated. Earned, not givenAs we recognize transparency's pivotal role in building trust, it becomes clear that trust in the digital age is earned, not given. Safeguarding consumer trust in an era increasingly dominated by sophisticated algorithms and artificial intelligence is more critical than ever.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday said Wall Street should be less jaded, saying that to see gains, it is necessary to trust certain deserving market-moving figures. He specifically said he has faith in Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Nvidia 's Jensen Huang and Apple CEO Tim Cook, even as some on Wall Street have negative sentiments about these leaders. To Cramer, Powell is pragmatic and hasn't gotten the trust he deserves. Cramer added that he thinks Powell will be able to "fly the plane wherever it has to go." Cramer said he thinks Nvidia can work with many of these companies, who will also remain its clients.

Jacob Zuma, who resigned as South Africa’s president in shame in 2018, is now staging his biggest comeback act yet by running in next month’s parliamentary elections with an upstart opposition party at the top of its ticket — the slot designated for a party’s presidential contender. Mr. Zuma’s participation in the race is a blow to a faltering African National Congress — the party he once led — which has governed the country since the end of apartheid three decades ago. and its leader, the country’s current president, Cyril Ramaphosa, are now struggling to win back the trust of voters disillusioned by a stagnant economy and years of corruption. On Wednesday, his party — uMkhonto weSizwe — released its list of national candidates with his name at the top. His party, known as MK, was formed only last December, but has already climbed in the polls, gained ground in local elections and won several legal battles for the right to contest the May 29 election.

Russia knows it has a terrorist problem, despite its deflection and spin to preserve Putin’s image, but his priorities are elsewhere. Russian intelligence also suffers from systemic failings in recognizing, penetrating and dismantling terrorist cells, failings that stem from doctrine and a deliberately stovepiped structure that obstructs information sharing and agility. FSB officers will coerce, threaten and intimidate potential sources with diminishing returns that will only fuel ISIS-K recruitment and fundraising, which is no doubt seeing a surge from its Moscow attack. Russian intelligence will be left to depend on the unwilling, ill-informed or duplicitous. At the Islamic State’s height, Tajik Gulmurod Khalimov commanded its Iraqi capital of Mosul.
