Responsible AI Development Requires a Seat at the Table for Black America
When I play poker and go all-in, I may be holding pocket aces. Other times, I’m bluffing. Either way, all of my chips go into the pot. In poker, going all-in doesn’t require certainty. It requires commitment. And the same is true when it comes to artificial intelligence. For Black Americans, this particular bet is crucial. We have too few voices in the rooms where AI is being shaped and too much at stake in what happens next. Black workers, students and entrepreneurs are already being affected by AI.
The architecture of money: The history and hidden passages of Belgium's National Bank
The National Bank of Belgium was designed to project permanence, with a monumental headquarters that has loomed over central Brussels for decades. But the institution – and the city around it – has kept changing. Tim King explores the architecture, history and hidden passageways of a building now undergoing another transformation. At the end of the 1930s, when plans were drawn up to remodel the headquarters of the National Bank of Belgium, the country’s great and good opted for monumentalism.
Banking on Belgium: Why liberal democracy matters more than central bank independence
Pierre Wunsch sits at the heart of Belgium’s financial establishment, but the National Bank governor is no defender of received wisdom. He tells Tim King why Europe must adapt to a harsher world of power politics, why economic resilience masks a lack of dynamism – and why liberal democracy matters more than central bank independence. Central bank governors have power, but only limited accountability.
Republic Wire acquisition, establishing a strategic platform in the United States

How Belgium’s Royal Academies reflect its knowledge, power and language
By European standards, Belgium is a young country – a 19th-century creation – but there are some places in Brussels where you get a fascinating glimpse of what was here before. The Palais des Académies, which stands at the south-east corner of the Parc de Bruxelles, is one such place.
What utilities need to do to prepare for the next wave of data center growth
This audio is auto-generated. Please let us know if you have feedback. Tim King is president and managing director of Nexans North America. The speed of datacenter deployment has shocked the world. Recent reporting shows a potential underestimation of datacenter proliferation. The 54-volt in-rack power distribution systems supporting current growth were designed for kilowatts, not megawatts.

The Bookmarklet Hack OpenAI Doesn’t Want You to Know About
Paring Back Those Pesky Thread IDs With a Handy Bookmarklet If you’ve been building on top of OpenAI’s shiny Assistants API, you’ve probably hit the same wall I did: There’s no API endpoint to list your thread IDs. None. Zero. Nada. You can create a thread (POST /v1/threads). You can fetch a thread if you already know its ID (GET /v1/threads/{id}). You can even delete one (DELETE /v1/threads/{id}). But if you want a simple GET /v1/threads to enumerate all the threads you’ve created? Forget it.
How to store a rainforest in a filing cabinet
To outward appearance, the herbarium at the Meise Botanic Garden is botany at its most sterile: metre after metre of linoleum and steel. It is a sequence of vast rooms containing row after towering row of steel cupboards, alleviated only by a few display cabinets. Behind the steel, however, is an astonishing treasure of science and the history of science.
Ancient trees outlive their greenhouses at Meise's Botanic Garden
The oldest tree in Meise Botanic Garden might well be an Eastern Cape giant cycad. A type of breadtree, it is thought to be 300 years old, brought to Europe in the days when the cylindrical, palm-like trunks were used as ballast in ships plying trade routes between southern Africa and northern Europe. The magnificent specimen in the Meise garden is growing in a dilapidated greenhouse. The greenhouse, not yet 75 years old, is now scheduled for demolition.

Is Automation the Future of AI Voice Generation?
Automation Navigate the cautious yet exciting merge of automation and AI. Tim King · Follow 5 min read · -- The Rise of Talking Tech: Enter 2024 Alright, imagine this: You’re having a conversation with your car, your fridge, or even your mirror. Sounds like a sci-fi movie, right? Well, it’s about to become as normal as texting a mate. Automation is propelling AI voice generation to new heights.

Are Firms Ready for the Cost of AI Failures?
- by , Expert in Artificial Intelligence I attended Big Data London yesterday and felt the AI buzz in the air! I started to think about the history of the data industry as I meandered through the conference floor, steering myself away from the hype! With that said, the history aspect ran through my mind as it is somewhat of a “history repeating” itself moment.
Why we still need Benelux
Why we still need Benelux Before the European Union, before the Treaty of Rome, there was Benelux. The trailblazing economic union of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg paved the way for the European project that followed. But 80 years after it was founded, why is it still around today?
Trump’s auto parts blood bath won’t work

When the School Bully is the School District
One year ago, I stepped down from Urban Prep Academies, the nonprofit organization I founded in 2002 with the mission of improving educational and career outcomes for Black boys and young men. I haven’t spoken publicly about it because I trusted that Chicago Public Schools (CPS) would do what was right for the students of the country’s first network of all-male charter high-schools. I now know that my trust was misplaced, and I can no longer remain silent.
Browerville native’s sculpture featured in book published by Smithsonian
“Peace,” a sculpture by Browerville native Joseph Kiselewski, is featured prominently in a new book published by the Smithsonian Institution. The book, titled Time Will Not Dim: American Battle Monuments Commission, A Century of Service; 1923 - 2023, is named after a statement made by General John Pershing J. Pershing, who, among other things, was the first chairman of the Commission. “Time Will Not Dim the Glory of Their Deeds,” Pershing said of American soldiers lost in war.

Sam Adonis - Mexico’s Favorite Super Villain
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Lucha Libre AAA and MLW star Sam Adonis. We talked about a variety of things including his time in Mexico promoting Lucha Libre AAA, Rey de Reyes, Lucha World Cup, his feud with Psycho Clown & teaming with him on April 16th, MLW, future matches with Hammerstone & Fatu, Warrior Wrestling, & more! You can listen to the full interview here. Watch Sam Adonis 6 foot 4 inches tall. 250 pounds. Not quite your typical luchador. But then there’s Sam Adonis.
Why the Insurance Industry is Ready for Change
The Dwindling Personal Auto Market is a Harbinger of More Change to Come The U.S. personal auto insurance industry faces unprecedented levels of contraction and profitability erosion. In the past four years, the personal auto market’s share of the entire P&C industry has faced year-over-year declines, starting at 36.20% in 2018 and falling to 32.56% in 2021.
How Belgium moved on from the bombings
The principal effect of the Brussels bombings on March 22, 2016, was to kill 32 innocent people and injure hundreds more. A secondary effect, harder to quantify, was to remove some illusions about the cohesiveness of Belgian society. The bombings made many Belgians face up to questions about the nature of their society. Six and a half years on, Belgium is certainly less innocent and probably less liberal. Belgium was painfully conscious of international scrutiny even before the March 2016 bombings.
Sam Adonis - The American Luchador
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Lucha Libre AAA and Independent Wrestling star Sam Adonis.

The Hierarchy of Success
In the years following my career, I spent a lot of time reflecting on our fleet’s success; both how we got there as well as the customer service fundamentals involved. One of the most profound discoveries I made was the concept of a customer service “Hierarchy of Success” (HoS). This is useful for many reasons. Its value, however, is not in the theory but in identifying how to succeed beyond most people’s comprehension. First, it defines the lowest level of success as survival.
Klaus Welle’s secret to survival
Tim King writes POLITICO‘s Brussels Sketch. If the reshuffle at the top of the European Parliament results in Secretary-General Klaus Welle losing his job after 13 years as the institution’s most senior official, then he will go out on a high. Just last month, in negotiations over the European Union’s annual budget for 2022, Parliament secured approval for 142 permanent employees and 180 external staff.
Make Rate Filing Easier by Streamlining Data Processes
Updating state rate filings can reduce loss ratios and improve market share. However, many insurers face bottlenecks in their technological processes. Tim King August 2021 According to the old insurance industry adage, any risk can be profitable if it's appropriately priced. Price too low and fall victim to adverse selection. Price too high and lose revenues to competitors.

Dark Side of the Ring Season 3 Ep. 1 Review | A “Loose Cannon” of a Premier By: Kimmy Sokol Since April of 2019, wrestling fans have been amazed and in awe by Viceland’s series Dark Side of the Ring. Dark Side of the Ring is short docuseries documenting the horrific side of the professional wrestling world, covering episodes such as: “The Final Days of Owen Hart”, “The Assassination of Dino Bravo”, and “Chris Benoit” are a few amongst the 18 episodes that have aired.
What ‘Sofagate’ says about Charles Michel
Tim King writes POLITICO‘s Brussels Sketch. One of the most striking features of Charles Michel’s presidency of the European Council thus far is his activism in foreign affairs. More than his predecessors, he is testing what leeway the European Union’s treaties give the Council president to shape its foreign policy. That he should do so is not surprising, given his track record when he was Belgium’s prime minister and before that minister for international development.
Geography is key to A/E firms’ success

Lessons from Giscard d’Estaing for the EU’s future
Tim King writes POLITICO‘s Brussels Sketch. Even in death, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing can still exert influence over the European Union. The former French president has died at just the moment when the members of the European Council — a body that he could justly claim to have invented in 1974 — are about to set in motion a Conference on the Future of Europe. The echoes from history are deafening: Giscard d’Estaing himself presided over a Convention on the Future of Europe from 2002 to 2003.
Ursula von der Leyen’s speech shows English still dominates
Tim King writes POLITICO‘s Brussels Sketch. The British have departed, but their language grows ever more dominant in European Union circles. Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union speech was an unabashed declaration that English now reigns supreme among the 24 languages of the European Union. Von der Leyen used three languages in her speech: in order of appearance, French, English and German.

Phil Hogan’s golfgate downfall: What happened, swing by swing
A week after attending a golfing dinner that breached Ireland’s coronavirus restrictions, Phil Hogan is now out of the game. The now-former EU trade chief's attendance at a packed dinner at a three-star hotel on Ireland's west coast helped fuel a ballooning public outcry in his native country, where citizens asked why the rules preventing them from seeing loved ones during the pandemic did not stretch to the country's top brass, Hogan among them.
Why Phil Hogan will survive ‘golfgate’
Tim King writes POLITICO‘s Brussels Sketch. The scandal rocking Irish politics is making life uncomfortable for Phil Hogan. But when it comes to resignations, there’s one rule for domestic politicians and another for European commissioners. As European commissioner for trade, Hogan is insulated from the wrath of the electorate or the whims of his national government.

Israel's War Crimes Have Killed Americans
Imagine if you will a ship from a nation not at war with anyone sailing in international waters on a quiet June day being suddenly attacked by unidentified warplanes and torpedo boats, their markings covered up to conceal their country of origin. The vessel under attack had little with which to defend itself, but its crew heroically made sure that a large national flag was hoisted to demonstrate that it was not a belligerent in anyone’s conflict.

Trump’s Deal Is Bid to Complete the Evil ‘Plan Dalet’
After 70 years of pissing on the Palestinians, America and Israel suddenly want to “improve” their lives. But when you look closer at Peace to Prosperity it’s all about thieving more Palestinian land, stripping these good people of what remains of their self-respect and grinding them further into the Holy Land dust. The Trump document’s 180 pages are devoted to the self-aggrandizement of Israel and military domination of the Middle East, by proxy, by the warmongers of the US.
