Dr. Ojo will chair the conversation with Prince Harry, President of Global Customer Operations at ServiceNow Paul Fipps and two young recipients of the organization's Legacy Award: Sikander 'Sonny' Khan and Christina Williams.

Williams is an attorney and advocate from Jamaica who champions youth empowerment and marginalized groups' equitable access to education, healthcare and technology.
The conversation will focus on 'youth leadership and how employers can proactively create pathways for young people to enter and thrive in the workplace.'
'Companies that invest in youth leadership today are cultivating the workforce, innovators, and consumers of tomorrow,' Dr. Ojo said in a statement. 'The Diana Award is proud to launch 'Pledge to Invest' - an opportunity for forward-thinking businesses to make a strategic, measurable, and high-impact investment in the future of youth leadership. For over 25 years, The Diana Award has invested in young people, empowering them to tackle the pressing issues of our time.'
The Diana Award was established in 1999 by former U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Current patrons include former prime minister David Cameron, Dame Julia Samuel, former Scottish First Minister Jack McConnell and Esther Rantzen.

The organization's mission, as stated on their website, is to 'empower young people to lead that change through a range of initiatives which unlock their potential, inspire action and create opportunities, ensuring that no young person is left out or left behind.'

Starbucks (SBUX) Jumps 4% on AI Barista Assistant Rollout With Microsoft
Starbucks (SBUX, Financials) gained 4.3% to close at $95.39 Wednesday after unveiling a generative AI assistant developed with Microsoft's Azure OpenAI platform. The move is part of the company's effort to streamline cafe operations and boost U.S. sales. Dubbed Green Dot Assist, the tool will begin testing in 35 stores this month and is expected to expand across the U.S. and Canada in fiscal 2026. Baristas will be able to use a tablet to ask questions via voice or text, receiving real-time support on drink prep and equipment troubleshooting. CEO Brian Niccol's turnaround strategy aims to shorten service times to four minutes and refocus the company on its core brand. The new AI assistant is designed to help staff work more efficiently by reducing reliance on manuals or internal systems. Chief Technology Officer Deb Hall Lefevre said the assistant could eventually create IT tickets automatically or suggest shift changes, further integrating into store operations. The Microsoft (MSFT, Financials) partnership comes nearly a year after CEO Satya Nadella stepped down from Starbucks' board. The system includes a grounding engine to prevent AI inaccuracies, or hallucinations. The company also showcased next-generation Mastrena espresso machines and a simplified point-of-sale system that allows experienced baristas to get up to speed within an hour and helps personalize customer experiences. Other restaurant chains have tested AI with varied outcomes. Yum Brands has partnered with Nvidia on AI vision tools, while McDonald's recently ended an AI drive-thru test with IBM due to performance issues. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

PlayStation Plus Prices Will Keep Going Up As Players Keep Upgrading
Helldivers 2 As part of a large-scale Sony business segment meeting, there was much discussion about the state of PlayStation and its plans for future earnings. One aspect brought up was the significant revenue of PlayStation Plus and confirmation that prices will keep going up in the future. And Sony thinks that's just fine, given recent player spending trends. In FY22 the percentage of PS Plus subscribers on Premium and Extra were 17% and 13%, respectively. By FY24, that had grown to 22% and 16%, totaling that 38% number. Sony notes that this is even after a global price increase, where in September of 2023, yearly prices went up by 35% in some regions. And still, growth. The highest profile subscription service we're always hearing about is Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft's slew of archived and day-one games that has players shelling out $20 a month to access. But with Sony's enormous fleet of PlayStation consoles in the wild, PS Plus is a huge revenue driver, and that's despite not offering really anything close to the breadth of Game Pass. PlayStation Plus FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder The market has arranged itself where you have no choice but to subscribe to these services if you want to play console games, unlike say, PC, where you're only paying for your actual internet. So the prices can go up indefinitely without real consequence, plus players are being herded into higher tiers over time. Sony is pleased with where things are going and how much they can continue to hike rates: If you want to read 'adjust our pricing strategy in a dynamic way to maximize profitability' in a way other than 'prices will keep going up,' I have a microtransaction of a bridge to sell you. Increasingly, console-makers are relying on revenue from online services to be the money printer over console sales with lower margins. That's more true for Xbox than PlayStation, given close to rock-bottom Xbox hardware sales as of late, but PS Plus is a huge deal for Sony, too. And they know that consumers don't really have a choice but to keep paying with their online games held hostage. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram.
