Artificial intelligence guardrails in the workplace
Is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) on the rise among employees? It depends on the workplace. According to Gallup, the technology, chiefly generative AI, is more prevalent in “knowledge-based industries,” such as education and finance. Yet across all sectors, Gallup found a gradual increase in adoption among all users — a trend “on par with the expansion of frequent workplace AI use reported throughout 2025.” Will the momentum hold this year? The signs currently point to yes.
The economic cost of AI workslop
Nearly all of us have experienced a self-reinforcing problem. We get a bad night’s sleep and, depleted of energy, rely on coffee to power through our to-do lists. But that final cup — meant to get us to 5 p.m. — comes back to haunt us, and we end up staring at the ceiling for hours at bedtime. The process repeats until we finally cut our afternoon caffeine jolt for good.
Cybersecurity Training & Commitment (Chris Wright Commentary)
THIS IS AN OPINION We'd also like to hear yours. Tweet us @ArkBusiness or email us Whether it’s discovering how to code or playing the guitar, we have all been guilty of trying to pick up a new hobby without fully committing. We invest in the needed supplies and begin watching video tutorials. We might even complete an online course. But we never actually practice. So, when we open our laptops or start plucking strings, we quickly hit a roadblock. Why didn’t our virtual training pay off?
Pop Goes the AI Bubble? (Chris Wright Commentary)
THIS IS AN OPINION We'd also like to hear yours. Tweet us @ArkBusiness or email us Nearly all of us have heard, “With great risk comes great reward.” But does that expression always hold true in business? Certainly not. A potential case study: artificial intelligence (AI). From Fortune 500s to fledgling startups, it’s hard to escape the daily hyperbolic predictions about its transformative power. Many businesses have taken note and are aggressively adopting AI-powered platforms and tools.
Invest in employee security awareness training
It used to be the promise of sizable cash prizes, free cruises or “get-rich-quick” schemes. But as consumers have become savvier to phishing attempts, so too have those executing them. Malicious actors have stepped up their tactics to be more convincing, from replicating well-known brands’ order-tracking emails to creating full-blown fake websites.
Silver lining of a shifting cybersecurity landscape
Not all of us are bargain hunters, but is there anyone who doesn’t love to score a good deal? Our drive to save is hard-wired. Studies show that when we find and purchase discounted items, our brain releases dopamine, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter. So, besides the clear financial benefits, it’s no wonder that business owners often aim to be lean and mean.
Intervention stigma: An opioid addict’s perspective on barriers to treatment.
Christopher Wright · Follow 9 min read · -- My name is Chris. I am a recovering heroin addict. Early in my recovery, I discovered that despite sharing a basic common goal, the treatment community remains largely divided in its views of agonist medications (methadone and buprenorphine) used to treat opioid use disorder.
Evolving Regulations Reaffirm the Need for a Strategic Approach to Cyber Risk Management (Chris Wright Commentary)
THIS IS AN OPINION We'd also like to hear yours. Tweet us @ArkBusiness or email us Is it time to break out the party hats and bid adieu to the so-called regulatory red tape? Just two months in, 2025 is shaping up to be the year that may capture the age-old expression, “Out with the old, in with the new.” Case in point — the federal government’s steady stream of cybersecurity-related actions.

Bring Your Own Device to Work? Better Not (Chris Wright Commentary)
THIS IS AN OPINION We'd also like to hear yours. Tweet us @ArkBusiness or email us It’s back to the office, we go — or is it? Despite the corporate push to return to in-person workplaces, nontraditional arrangements remain prevalent. Owl Labs’ recent State of Work survey shows that our workforce is increasingly mobile.

Uninformed AI use can lead to 'Dear Diary' moments
Diaries are designed to exist under lock and key.

Bridging the Cybersecurity Talent Gap (Chris Wright Commentary)
Cybercrimes are on the rise, and so is Arkansas businesses’ need for skilled talent to help identify, protect, detect, respond to and recover from potential breaches and attacks.

Riding the wave of cybersecurity regulations
The tides are turning for cybersecurity regulation and enforcement. And if businesses do not adequately prepare, a wave—in the form of a breach, attack or hefty government fine—may pull them under. The good news? With pre-planning and a tailored risk-management approach, companies can avoid potential non-compliance while increasing their overall cyber resiliency. Over the past few years, businesses have been confronted with a steady increase in government rules.
End the Madness (Editorial)
On Jan. 31, the Wall Street Journal editorial board thought it needed to be explicit with its readers: The Taylor Swift “psyop” is an insane conspiracy theory. The theory goes something like this: Singer Swift’s romance with Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is fake. The Super Bowl will be rigged so the Chiefs win. The celebrity couple will announce their engagement, and Swift, acting in her role as a Pentagon “asset,” will then endorse President Joe Biden.
Solving Hiring Challenges: A Case Study (Sabrina Starling On Small Business)
The cost of employee disengagement in small businesses can range from several hundred thousand dollars to millions annually. Just imagine what you could do with that money if it were profit!

UAMS Researchers Discover Potential Alzheimer's Drug
UAMS announced that a team of researchers led by Sue Griffin has discovered a potential new drug to block the harmful effects of the so-called Alzheimer’s gene.

An Effective Cybersecurity Tool: Empowered Employees (Chris Wright Commentary)
The word “cybercrime” often elicits stereotypical images of a faceless foreign actor hacking into a corporation’s network. Or even scarier, it recalls the hyped-up Terminator-style breach, with individuals deploying artificial intelligence to bypass software’s security controls. To be clear, these attacks can — and do — happen. But in general, today’s cybercrimes are more straightforward and less sophisticated than that.
A Cybersecurity Expert’s Top 10 Predictions for 2024 (Chris Wright Commentary)
What do cybercriminals have up their sleeves for 2024? Will it be more of the same or slight iterations of attackers’ go-to tools, such as general phishing scams? Or will the New Year bring “The Terminator” and artificial intelligence (AI)-generated threats like deepfakes? When it comes to cybersecurity, nothing is a sure bet. Attackers are constantly changing their tactics to attempt to breach our systems.
Pope County JPs Vote in Support of Cherokee Casino
Cherokee Nation Businesses of Catoosa, Oklahoma, won a political victory Thursday in the years-long back-and-forth battle to build a casino near Russellville.

Cybersecurity threats: What to worry about, or ignore
Say we’ve set a long-term goal to accumulate a nest egg of a million—or more—dollars. Do we develop a strategy to reach our target with detailed budgets, high-yield savings accounts and diversified investments? Or do we spend freely, hoping to win the lottery and coast to a comfortable retirement? Of course not. Taking home that big check is 1 in 300 million odds. So, why would we take the same risky gamble with our approach to cybersecurity?
Competitor! Competitor! Competitor! (Craig Douglass On Consumers)
The 1949 movie “Adam’s Rib,” starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, is one of my favorite oldies. It was a midcentury look at gender equality, acted out by two married attorneys pitted in a trial against one another. As the Hepburn-wife character begins to get the best of the Tracy-husband character, to her he frustratedly shouts, “I want a wife, not a competitor! Competitor! Competitor!” Classic. Sorry, Spencer. Competition is a way of life. Sometimes in marriage. Every day in business.
COVID & Consumer Common Sense (Craig Douglass On Consumers)
She said it, and I believe it. “Folks are supposed to have common sense,” said Kay Ivey, Republican governor of Alabama. “But it’s time to start blamin’ the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that’s lettin’ us down.” I suppose there is enough blame to go around. And the science on which we rely continues to evolve. That’s what science does. It observes, measures, experiments, formulates, tests and modifies.
