Representative Image New Delhi [India], February 22 (ANI): In order to have an overview of the theme ‘Responsible AI’, especially in the context of India, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) Girish Chandra Murmu hosted a seminar today at the CAG office in New Delhi inviting eminent personalities to speak and share their expertise on the subject.

Addressing the Challenges and Opportunities of Digital Transformation through Public-Private Sector Collaboration

Addressing the Challenges and Opportunities of Digital Transformation through Public-Private Sector Collaboration

During the U.S. Chamber Technology Engagement Center’s inaugural Digital Transformation Summit on February 2nd, leaders from both the public and private sectors shared their experiences and insights on the challenges and opportunities of digitally transforming how governments provide services to their citizens, and their outlook on the future of IT modernization. In the ever-evolving, predominantly digital world, the adoption of new digital technologies is a necessity for both governments and businesses alike. As articulated by GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan during her remarks at the Summit, since “people rely on technology in their everyday lives to deposit checks, call a ride, or even order a pair of shoes as you’re walking down the street, it’s the job of not just those of us in government but also all of you who are our industry partners, to make sure government delivers.” According to the Chamber’s recently released report, Government Digitization: Transforming Government to Better Serve Americans, over $100 billion were incurred by Americans from a lack of digitization. The federal government has fallen so far behind the private sector in IT modernization that it is still employing decades-old technology that makes it less able to effectively adapt. At its core, citizens […]

Opinion: WIC food package update is an opportunity to advance health equity

Opinion: WIC food package update is an opportunity to advance health equity

You only need to walk through the aisles of your local grocer to know food inflation is skyrocketing. Millions of American families struggled to put food on their tables before this crisis, and now, disparities in access to healthy foods are becoming even more pervasive and evident. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children – known as the WIC program – serves as a safeguard for the health of millions of low-income families. WIC provides nutritious foods, information on healthy eating, breastfeeding promotion and support, and health care referrals to 6.4 million women, infants, and children across the country. WIC program participants – pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding parents, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk – receive a monthly benefits package that includes allotted quantities of foods alongside a cash value benefit for the purchase of fruits and vegetables. The package format is built to insulate families from the impacts of rising food prices. Except for fruits and vegetables, everything is by quantity. So no matter how much milk costs, no matter how much breakfast cereal costs, you get the same quarts, the same ounces. In the summer of 2021, Congress […]

Has PayPal Reached a Once-in-a-Decade Buying Opportunity?

Has PayPal Reached a Once-in-a-Decade Buying Opportunity?

PayPal’s stock is cheap based on its forward-looking earnings multiple. For years, PayPal ( PYPL 0.78%) was synonymous with online payment processing. However, that space has become increasingly crowded thanks to rising competition. Additionally, PayPal seems to have transitioned from a growth to a value stock, confusing investors on how they should view the company. Because of this transition, PayPal’s stock is incredibly cheap, leaving an excellent opportunity for investors to pick up shares at a reasonable valuation. Read on to discover why now could be a once-in-a-decade buying opportunity for PayPal stock. PayPal is starting to become more profitable As PayPal transitions from a growth to a value designation, it will also experience a leadership change. President and CEO Dan Schulman will retire at the end of 2023 and will stay on to ensure a smooth transition to the next CEO. Schulman led the stock to outpace the S&P 500 for most of his career after PayPal was spun off from eBay in July 2015, but blunders in 2021 caused those gains to fall away. New blood can hopefully reinvigorate the stock because there’s a lot of potential with PayPal. In the fourth quarter, revenue was only up […]

'We Are Entering The Best Real Estate Market Opportunity Since 2008': Why This Billionaire Investor Is Aggressively Buying Income-Producing Properties

‘We Are Entering The Best Real Estate Market Opportunity Since 2008’: Why This Billionaire Investor Is Aggressively Buying Income-Producing Properties

National Association of Home Builders CEO Jerry Howard joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the housing market amid Fed interest rate hikes and inflation, labor shortages impacting homebuilders, and calls for immigration and domestic policy reform to alleviate labor pressures. Construction labor shortages ’have been around from before the Great Recession,” NAHB CEO says If you own a home or have been interested in buying one, you are aware of the sizeable U.S. residential real estate downturn. Sales numbers are dropping to their lowest rates since 2020, but interest rates continue to rise to around 6.5%. This scenario doesn’t mean investors should look to another option viewed as less volatile. Take real estate investment trusts (REITs), for example. REITs are not just a platform for investing in residential real estate, offering properties such as retail spaces, large malls, hotels, apartment buildings, office space and hospitals. And though home prices continue to be high, other real estate categories are not as overvalued, potentially shielding investors from the risk of steep price declines. Investors have not given up on the residential market, using financing options to take advantage of low housing inventory and turning properties into rentals. This strategy contributes to […]
