Walker had been ruled out earlier in the day ahead of Thursday's game against the host Chicago Bears. He returned from a two-game absence due to an ailing calf on Sunday before injuring his ankle in the Seahawks' 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Zach Charbonnet is set to shoulder the load in the backfield for the Seahawks (8-7), who have lost two in a row heading into Thursday's game against the Bears (4-11). Seattle is in a must-win situation. Even if the Seahawks can top Chicago and beat the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, they still might miss out on the postseason because of the strength-of-victory tiebreaker. Walker, 24, leads Seattle in carries (153) and rushing yards (573) to go along with seven rushing touchdowns. Charbonnet, 23, has a team-best eight rushing touchdowns to go along with 106 carries for 453 yards. Holani, who turned 25 on Dec. 16, has three carries for 10 yards in three games this season. He is an undrafted rookie out of Boise State. The Seahawks also ruled out tight end Brady Russell (foot) and safety K'Von Wallace (ankle) for Thursday's game. Cornerback Artie Burns was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the contest. The Bears will be without defensive backs Elijah Hicks (ankle/foot) and Tarvarius Moore (knee), running back Travis Homer (hamstring) and offensive lineman Teven Jenkins (calf). --Field Level MediaLOS ANGELES (AP) — Receiver Demarcus Robinson will not be suspended by the Los Angeles Rams this week after his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. Robinson will be available to play when the Rams (5-6) visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday. “I think he does understand the severity of this, and how lucky we were that nobody was injured,” McVay said. “I do believe that he's remorseful. We are going to let the legal process take place. The league has a process as well.” Robinson was arrested early Monday morning after California Highway Patrol officers observed a white Dodge sedan driving over 100 mph on the 101 freeway in the western San Fernando Valley, a few miles from the Rams’ training complex in Woodland Hills. The driver, who identified himself as Robinson, had “objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment,” the CHP said in a statement released to The Associated Press. Robinson spoke to the team and expressed remorse about his arrest, McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “I think it was a bad decision he made,” McVay said. “I don't think that makes him a bad person, and I do believe this is something that, with the words that he said, our guys will learn from it, and hopefully nobody is ever going to repeat something like this. Let it be a learning opportunity, and a fortunate outcome that nobody was injured.” Robinson has 26 receptions for 384 yards and a team-leading six touchdown catches while starting all 11 games in his second season with the Rams . He caught a TD pass in the Rams' 37-20 loss to Philadelphia several hours before his arrest. The nine-year NFL veteran has served as a capable No. 3 option for Stafford behind star receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Robinson spent his first six NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning a Super Bowl ring in February 2020, and spent one year with Baltimore before joining the Rams last year. “Let this be a lesson to all of us,” Stafford said. “We're lucky with the result that came of it, to be honest with you, that nobody was hurt or injured. I know that D-Rob is a great person. I love being around him. Love him as a teammate. ... I'm just trying to support him, help him out any way I can.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL

By Romi Mahajan, CEO ExoFusion (A Member of the Peripheral Automation Consortium) Would you ask a medical trainee to do her first surgery on someone’s heart or brain? Would you ask a pilot to fly a loaded 747 on his first flight? No? Then why do we want to take our core processes and automate them with AI from the outset? Shouldn’t we be more circumspect in our approach? Certainly, for most organizations the issue is not life and death, but the metaphor still stands. Our approach to AI has been rash, driven mostly by hype and PR and not by maturity or knowledge of how complex organizations really function. The technology world is abuzz with talk of “disruption.” Yet, for IT teams – which are charged with business continuity- the term disruption is anathema. After all, as we seek to transform and modernize organizations (and their products, services, processes, and culture), we are not ever given the mandate to stop everything and retool. Thus, for IT there is the delicate dance of continuity amidst disruption, of ensuring that things work even as we look to replace and refine. With AI, executives have asked IT (and other teams) to live up to its hype, but in a decontextualized context in which the complexity of existing systems and processes is often ignored. And we have seen countless issues arise- from broken systems to AI agents that spout incorrect (or worse, non-compliant) messages. We have seen customer-facing experiences fail, company operations shudder, and speed mismatch develop between technological progress and the corporate culture which must avail itself of and benefit from this progress. This is a function of both mimicry and hubris. Companies’ PR claims about the “transformational” power of AI products and services should not be our benchmark for reality. AI cannot be adopted in a vacuum or as part of a star-chamber discussion that does not involve teams that have to implement it, both internally and in outward-facing systems. Just because an executive believes that “someone else” is doing it, does not mean that his or her company is yet ready to do the same. With AI, as with all else, haste makes waste. Circumspection and tire-kicking are necessary parts of the journey. if (!window.AdButler){(function(){var s = document.createElement("script"); s.async = true; s.type = "text/javascript";s.src = 'https://servedbyadbutler.com/app.js';var n = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);}());} var AdButler = AdButler || {}; AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];var abkw = window.abkw || '';var plc516228 = window.plc516228 || 0;document.write('');AdButler.ads.push({handler: function(opt){ AdButler.register(182450, 516228, [728,90], 'placement_516228_'+opt.place, opt); }, opt: { place: plc516228++, keywords: abkw, domain: 'servedbyadbutler.com', click:'CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER' }});The US says it pushed retraction of a famine warning for north Gaza.

Addressing 1,100 business leaders at the NI Chamber’s annual President’s Banquet, its president Caitroina McCusker said members had communicated their unease following the announcement from Chancellor Rachel Reeves last month. The Budget ushered in changes which will hit business hard, including increases in employer national insurance contributions, as well as changes to business asset disposal relief and inheritance tax. Ms McCusker said: “I have heard from many of our members that the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget has thrown obstacles into the path of businesses and that the acceleration of the tax burden adds to the already high cost of doing business, leaving some employers with tough choices if they are to remain competitive and grow.” She said it had compounded other, existing problems. “Confidence is not where it should be. "We need to pick up the pace on many issues to unlock growth including wastewater, planning, skills, childcare and digital connectivity.” Ms McCusker called for innovation in the economy, with measures including the use of AI in public sector transformation. And the PwC boss stressed that getting Northern Ireland ‘back on track’ with its climate change targets could unlock a wall of green capital and investment. Ms McCusker, regional market leader at the business advisory firm, said a new workforce development agency could ensure the region has the skills needed in a digital economy, and called for solutions to ‘the burden of unaffordable childcare.’ The business leader also challenged business and political leaders in the room to “reflect on how we can each use our imaginations constructively to identify opportunities that others may overlook, challenge the status quo and raise our collective ambition”. Reflecting on a year which saw the devolved institutions restored, she called for greater partnership between the public, private and third sectors, saying: “We now have a draft Programme for Government, a budget and a legislative programme. "Now, we need to build on that. Through collaboration, co-design and co-delivery we have so much potential to deliver for our economy and most importantly, for our people.” To address the issues at play, she said there was a need for a “long-term economic plan which not only recognises the stark realities but with ambition addresses them head on, supporting our businesses to invest, innovate, export and succeed.” The event was sponsored by NI Chamber’s communications partner BT, along with supporting sponsors ABL Group, Barclays, Mattioli Woods and Tughans, as well as drinks reception sponsor Vanrath, Media Partner, Bauer Media Group and drinks partner, Diageo. Children’s author and TV star David Walliams was the event’s guest speaker. Paul Murnaghan, regional director for business, BT in Northern Ireland, added: “BT is delighted to once again support the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce’s President’s Banquet, a flagship event in the NI business calendar. "Now in our 18th year of collaboration and partnership, we congratulate the Chamber who work tirelessly throughout the year for the benefit of all NI businesses large and small. "The banquet presents a great opportunity to network, celebrate successes and also to come together and explore opportunities and debate challenges facing businesses and the NI economy.”OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he won't play Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's games by voting to bring down the government on an upcoming non-confidence motion. The Conservatives plan to introduce a motion that quotes Singh's own criticism of the Liberals, and asks the House of Commons to declare that it agrees with Singh and has no confidence in the government. The motion is expected to be introduced on Thursday and the debate and vote are set for Monday. Singh said he is not going to trigger an election when he believes Poilievre would cut programs the NDP fought for. "I'm not going to be playing Pierre Poilievre's games. I have no interest in that. We're frankly not going to allow him to cut the things that people need. I want to actually have dental care expanded, I want people to actually start to benefit from the pharmacare legislation we passed," Singh said. With the NDP's expected support, the Liberals should survive this next confidence vote brought forward by the Conservatives. The Tories have vowed to bring forward non-confidence motions every chance they get. The party will have two more opposition motions after this one, which are expected to continue to call for non-confidence. The NDP are scheduled to have their opposition day on Friday. Earlier on Tuesday, Singh did acknowledge that the Conservatives have a sizeable lead on the NDP in public opinion polls, while giving a campaign-style speech to visiting party staffers from across the country. Most pollsters in Canada have recorded a roughly 20 point lead for the Conservatives over both the Liberals and NDP for the last few months. The non-confidence vote was scheduled after Speaker Greg Fergus intervened to pause a filibuster on a privilege debate about a green technology fund. The Conservatives have said they would only end that debate if the NDP agree to topple the government or if the Liberals turn over unredacted documents at the centre of the parliamentary gridlock.
