How To Adopt A Modern, Process-Centric Approach To Compliance And Risk Management

Shoeb Javed is chief product officer at iGrafx.

Navigating the intricacies of compliance and risk management can seem overwhelming for businesses, especially those operating in heavily regulated industries. The rules are complex and the stakes are high, and the old ways of managing compliance aren’t enough anymore. By using smart tools and clear processes, businesses can handle tasks more efficiently, reduce risks and make audits less stressful.

Many organizations face a daunting array of compliance requirements, both external and internal. Regulatory demands vary across industries such as financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and technology. Businesses may also have to contend with regulations that differ by country and even by region.

Capcom Experimenting With Generative AI to Create ‘Hundreds of Thousands of Unique Ideas’ Needed to Build In-Game Environments

Capcom is experimenting with generative AI to create the “hundreds of thousands” of ideas needed for in-game environments.

As video game development costs rise, publishers are increasingly looking to controversial AI tools to speed up work and cut costs. Call of Duty reportedly sold an “AI-generated cosmetic” for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in late 2023, and fans accused Activision of using generative AI again for a loading screen last year. EA said in September that AI was “the very core” of its business.

In a new interview with Google Cloud Japan, Kazuki Abe, a technical director at Capcom who has worked on huge titles like Monster Hunter: World and Exoprimal, explained how the company is experimenting with implementing AI in its game development processes.

Behavior-based dependency networks can shape the resilience of cities following economic shocks

Unexpected crises or events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or natural disasters, can cause disruptions to a city’s economy. For instance, forcing businesses to temporarily close or hindering their daily operations. As businesses often rely on each other, changes in the operation of one company can cause ripple effects, like influencing its suppliers, distributors or other businesses it depends on.

To explore the widespread economic impact of shocks and adverse events, past studies primarily examined the proximity between businesses, assuming that businesses are primarily connected to nearby companies or establishments. However, some findings suggest that people’s movements between businesses (i.e., behavior-based dependencies) also contribute to the resilience of cities following economic disruptions.

These dependencies are essentially relationships between businesses shaped by the behavior and habits of shared customers. For example, if a tech company is forced to close its offices, this might impact not only other nearby restaurants, but also gyms or other establishments located in different parts of a , which some employees typically visit before or after work.

Fundraising for Founder-led Biotech

A blog webpage written by entrepreneur Matt Krisiloff which offers helpful advice to scientific founders of biotechnology companies on how to fundraise and manage relations with investors.

“Because of examples of great success in the broader technology world, we’re seeing the emergence of what I’d call a more ‘Silicon Valley’ mindset in biotech investing. This approach prizes technology development at the core of the company’s DNA and – drawing from examples in tech such as Microsoft and Meta and in biotech such as Regeneron and Genentech – recognizes that technical founders who can grow into business leaders often build more innovative and ultimately more successful companies. This shift has opened up new avenues for fundraising that founders should understand and look towards”

[](https://mattkrisiloff.com/2025/01/07/fundraising-for-found-led-biotech/)

At this point in my career across the biotech-related projects I’ve run, I’ve personally raised about $100 million. In some ways this feels like a lot, but given the scope of biotech and hard tech projects I care most about, it’s really just a drop in the bucket. From these experiences though, I’ve learned some things that I believe can help other founders navigate fundraising, and want to share them – especially for newer founders working on interesting technologies that may be approaching fundraising for the first time.

Most of what I am saying is for biotech, but I think a lot of the observations apply for medical devices and other hard science startup fundraising too.

Biotech exists in a unique corner of the investment world, one where the promise of revolutionary breakthroughs meets harsh realities of extended development timelines and significant capital requirements. This is truer today than ever – while the broader equity markets has seen unprecedented growth over the past two years, the biotech sector has remained in a relatively depressed state.

Automating penmanship: Researchers develop cost-effective, AI-enhanced robotic handwriting system

Recent advances in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the development of a wide range of systems with unique characteristics designed for varying real-world applications. These include robots that can engage in activities traditionally only completed by humans, such as sketching, painting and even hand-writing documents.

These robots could have interesting applications in both professional and creative contexts, as they could help to automate the creation of artistic renderings, legal papers, letters and other documents in real time. Most to date have considerable limitations, such as high production costs (around $150) and a large size.

Two researchers affiliated with the global student non-profit organization App-In Club recently developed a new cost-effective robotic handwriting system that could be more affordable for individual consumers, schools, universities and small businesses. This system, introduced in a paper on the arXiv preprint server, integrates a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller and other components that can be produced via 3D printing.
