It’s not enough, in 2021, for businesses to be resilient. As many search for ways to manage the ongoing disruptions caused by COVID-19, a growing number believe that disorder is the new normal. They are embracing it and making it part of their processes. Essayist Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores this phenomenon in his 2012 book, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder. “Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder,” he writes. “Antifragility,” as he terms this way of being, “is beyond resilience... The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.” President Joe Biden campaigned on an economic recovery plan echoing this sentiment, called “Build Back Better,” a phrase often used in natural disaster recovery. There are few corporate playbooks…

01 “FOR ELENA,” EAST FOREST As Jon Batiste says, “Listen for the intervals.” This song, with its long, drawn-out notes, cues my mind and heart that it is time to settle into a soft space. 02 “I HEARD YOU FROM AFAR,” BENJAMIN GUSTAFSSON This brings me into a peaceful, dreamlike state. The gentle stroking of the chords feels like a velveteen whisper to my heart. 03 “PETRICHOR,” KEATON HENSON This song reminds me of a time I felt a deep love. It reminds me that there are always cycles: that beginnings are endings and endings are beginnings. Rest in that knowing. 04 “SILENCE OF SIBERIA,” LOWERCASE NOISES The space in between each stroke of the piano keys allows me time to settle my mind into my body, and embody peace.…

Timnit Gebru-a giant in the world of AI and then co-lead of Google’s AI ethics team-was pushed out of her job in December. Gebru had been fighting with Google over a research paper that she’d coauthored, which explored the risks of the AI models that the search giant uses to power its core products, including almost every English query on Google. The paper called out the potential biases (racial, gender, and more) of these language models, as well as the outsize carbon emissions required to compute them. Google wanted the paper retracted; Gebru refused. After the company abruptly announced her departure, Google AI chief Jeff Dean insinuated that her work was not up to snuff-despite Gebru’s credentials. The backlash was immediate. Thousands of Googlers and outside researchers signed a protest…

TOP 50 ► SpringHill Company ► Media / No. 1 ► Top 50 / No. 5 The morning of January 8, just a day and a half after a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, the nonprofit More Than a Vote released a response video. Less than a minute long, the montage depicts professional athletes taking a knee and wearing Black Lives Matter T-shirts and Black Americans casting votes in Georgia, alongside footage from the insurrection. With a sepia tone that evokes news footage of 1960s civil rights protests and dynamic graphics that convey urgency, the video presents a powerful contrast between peaceful political efforts by Black Americans and white barbarians at the gate. More Than a Vote, which NBA star LeBron James and his business partner Maverick Carter launched last…
