style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px>But, with the most recent pushback from the federal government, there’s misunderstanding and confusion about how companies can move forward, said Alaysia Black Hackett, the former chief diversity and equity officer at the Department of Labor, during a recent interview with HR Brew at the Workhuman conference in Denver.</p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px>“What I believe is happening…is a lack of understanding of what [DEI] is and what it isn’t,” Black Hackett said. “When people hear DEIA [diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility] now, they hear Black communities, Black hires, Black people, and it’s this idea that we’re taking away from people who are qualified to give to ‘less-qualified Black applicants’…that is not what it is at all.”</p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px>As a response to the growing backlash, HR leaders should start educating themselves and their employees on the history of DEI and how it affects the workplace today, Black Hackett said, because “we want [DEI] to mirror our country, and our country is very diverse, and it’s becoming more diverse.”</p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px><strong style=color:#000><a style="color:#333;border-bottom:2px solid #1c8552;text-decoration:none"class=link

Dan Balaceanu, chief product officer of enterprise conversational AI platform Druid, said buzz around the term has swallowed up some of the more precise terminology in the AI world.</p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px>“Somehow this agent name absorbed all the related terms,” Balaceanu told Tech Brew before he appeared on a panel on enterprise agents. “We don’t talk about virtual assistants anymore—we call them AI agents. We don’t talk about bots, we call them agents, we don’t talk about intents and skills or conversation flows, we talk about agents. In my opinion, maybe it’s not 100% accurate, but if we understand we are speaking about AI completing and helping humans, it’s fine.”</p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px><strong style=color:#000><a style="color:#333;border-bottom:2px solid #c2532f;text-decoration:none"class=link href=https://links.morningbrew.com/c/AcD?mblid=d52e65227c41&mbcid=40176945.74377&mid=6863654a5331c4a369cbfbfb30e8fe59&mbuuid=5stYjN1hBSn7CXnd3Rz5bdZR target=_blank>Keep reading here</a>.</strong><em>—PK</em></p></td></tr><tr><td class=social-container style=padding-bottom:15px;padding-left:15px><!-- SOCIAL LINKS --> <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 style=border-collapse:collapse;border-collapse:collapse width=100%><tr><td style=padding-top:12px><a href=https://links.morningbrew.com/c/AcG?mbcid=40176945.74377&mid=6863654a5331c4a369cbfbfb30e8fe59&mbuuid=5stYjN1hBSn7CXnd3Rz5bdZR rel=noopener style=text-decoration:none target=_blank><img src=https://cdn.sanity.io/images/bl383u0v/production/cab2ac077d288f7ba1df3571cb0ec28ce8f32b86-357x357.png?w=50&fit=max style=width:25px;display:inline-block width=25> </a><span> </span> <a href=https://links.morningbrew.com/c/AcH?mbcid=40176945.74377&mid=6863654a5331c4a369cbfbfb30e8fe59&mbuuid=5stYjN1hBSn7CXnd3Rz5bdZR rel=noopener style=text-decoration:none target=_blank><img src=https://cdn.sanity.io/images/bl383u0v/production/7372d7c942cc95144c43e3004730ca0cf8a23025-96x96.png style=width:25px;display:inline-block width=25> </a><span> </span> <a href=https://links.morningbrew.com/c/AcI?mbcid=40176945.74377&mid=6863654a5331c4a369cbfbfb30e8fe59&mbuuid=5stYjN1hBSn7CXnd3Rz5bdZR rel=noopener style=text-decoration:none target=_blank><img src=https://cdn.sanity.io/images/bl383u0v/production/774271f5d2278014f1af0759475660e1761384eb-357x357.png?w=50&fit=max style=width:25px;display:inline-block width=25> </a></td></tr></table> <!-- END SOCIAL LINKS --></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><!--[if !mso ]><! -- --></div><!-- <![endif]--><!-- END STORY ARTICLE --><!-- STORY ARTICLE --><!--[if !mso ]><! -- --><div class=c6 style=margin-bottom:7px><!-- <![endif]--><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class=story-container style=border-collapse:collapse width=100%><tr><td style="color:#333;border-collapse:collapse;box-shadow:none;background-color:#fff;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;border-radius:15px;margin-bottom:0;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;display:block"class=card><div style="padding:15px 15px 0"class=tag-container><h3 style=color:#c2532f;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:700>Presented by  Fidelity </h3></div> <div style="padding:0 15px"class=title-container><h1 style=color:#333;margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:24px;font-weight:700;line-height:26px><a href=https://links.morningbrew.com/c/vig?lp=title&mbadid=6fef478b838fd187da2768ad6f943e3d&mbadv=a&mbcid=40176945.74377&mid=6863654a5331c4a369cbfbfb30e8fe59&mbuuid=5stYjN1hBSn7CXnd3Rz5bdZR style=text-decoration:none;color:#000!important;border-bottom:none!important target=blank><strong style=color:#000>Fundraise the bar</strong></a></h1></div> <a href=https://links.morningbrew.com/c/vig?lp=image&mbadid=6fef478b838fd187da2768ad6f943e3d&mbadv=a&mbcid=40176945.74377&mid=6863654a5331c4a369cbfbfb30e8fe59&mbuuid=5stYjN1hBSn7CXnd3Rz5bdZR style=border:none;text-decoration:none target=_blank><img alt="Fidelity "class=sponsored-header-image src=https://cdn.sanity.io/images/bl383u0v/production/52c3eb3d43cd625f8c7e06da0ec91ad4e6e8541e-1000x661.png?w=1336&q=80&auto=format style=width:100%;max-width:670px;padding-top:15px;display:block width=670></a> <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 style=border-collapse:collapse;border-collapse:collapse width=100%><tr><td class="sponsored-body content-container story-content"style=padding:15px><p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px>It goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: You can’t crush fundraising goals without getting your <a style="color:#333;border-bottom:2px solid #c2532f;text-decoration:none"class=link href=https://links.morningbrew.com/c/vig?lp=text1&mbadid=6fef478b838fd187da2768ad6f943e3d&mbadv=a&mblid=5c9eb49a761e&mbcid=40176945.74377&mid=6863654a5331c4a369cbfbfb30e8fe59&mbuuid=5stYjN1hBSn7CXnd3Rz5bdZR target=_blank>equity management game on lock</a>.</p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px></p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px>Need some info?

Eisenhower told troops, “The eyes of the world are upon you.”</p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px>But Eisenhower also wrote an alternate speech in case the invasion was unsuccessful. On what would later become one of the world’s most coveted pieces of scrap paper, the general wrote, “My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air, and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.” The original draft included the phrase, “This particular operation,” but that was crossed out and replaced with, “My decision to attack.”</p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px>He put the note in his wallet and never needed to use it.</p> <p style=margin-top:0;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:22px><em>—Dave
