Aaron Rodgers' Malibu workout photo with several Steelers goes viral

Aaron Rodgers has been making up for lost time — training and building chemistry with several of the Steelers' talented pass catchers in Malibu. In rare Rodgers fashion, the Steelers QB took to Instagram and posted a group photo from their summer workout — which has since gone viral and can be seen below: DK Metcalf previously confirmed there would be a California workout taking place with Rodgers, but it's awesome to see wide receivers Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, and tight end Pat Freiermuth make the trip as well. Advertisement Missing from the Malibu-based workout was none other than newly acquired Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith — who has taken to social media to post a hype video for his upcoming Steelers season. The Steelers offense is shaping up to be an exciting unit to watch in 2025, but one can't help but wonder if there's still a move or two Pittsburgh can make before the season begins.

Stock Movers: Datadog, FedEx, Synopsys

On this episode of Stock Movers: - Software company Datadog (DDOG) will be added to the S&P 500 index next week, replacing Juniper Networks Inc. after its recent acquisition by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. - FedEx (FDX) is double-upgraded to outperform at BNP Paribas Exane, with the broker saying the stock is 'arguably oversold,' expecting the firm's relative operational outperformance vs. rival UPS to continue. UPS is meanwhile upgraded to neutral from underperform. - Synopsys (SNPS) and Cadence Design both gain 6.1% in premarket trading after the US lifted export license requirements for chip design software sales in China, clearing the way for the companies to resume services in the world's second-biggest economy.

The Chief AI Officer: A Strategic Priority For Executive Search

Jamie Griffith, Founder/CEO of Echelon Search Partners - Executive Search - Healthcare, Technology and Aerospace. The chief AI officer (CAIO) role is gaining ground. A recent AWS study of over 3,700 IT decision makers found that '60% of organizations globally have appointed a dedicated AI executive, such as Chief AI Officer.' I find this trend playing out in three industries, in particular: healthcare, technology and finance. This isn't growth for its own sake—it's a clear organizational shift toward embedding strategic AI leadership. CEOs are choosing transformational leaders who can govern, deliver and guide enterprise-wide AI adoption. If your company is considering recruiting a CAIO, I recommend the following steps: Consider the CAIO's business impact. Exceptional CAIOs are enterprise architects, connecting data science with finance, HR, legal and IT. They ensure AI isn't a standalone program, but a core capability woven into every function. Winning CAIOs align infrastructure, talent and governance into a unified business engine to drive scalable, strategic impact. Top-tier CAIO candidates are defining and chairing governance councils. This includes compliance experts, clinicians and technologists as regulatory scrutiny intensifies. In healthcare, where stakes are high, this capability is a critical safeguard for ethical deployment underpinned by business value. In finance, CAIOs are leveraging AI personalization to drive measurable revenue growth. In healthcare, they're reducing diagnostic false positives through iterative model refinement. These aren't theoretical wins; they're quantifiable improvements—the exact outcomes CEOs expect. Identify your talent needs. With AI talent in fierce competition, many organizations are turning to fractional or interim CAIOs injecting expertise early, building momentum and defining roles while vetting full-time leadership. This hybrid model brings agility and external insight during critical transitions. To determine whether to seek a fractional, interim or full-time CAIO, consider these models based on your business's needs: Fractional: This is best for early-stage companies looking to implement AI and when you need fast market insights and low commitment. Interim: This is best when you're still defining role and scope. Going this route can help enable strategic clarity and team ramp. Full-time: If AI is core to your business strategy and operations and you are looking to drive long-term transformation, you'll likely want to seek a full-time CAIO. Prep for the interview. Before interviewing CAIO candidates, consider creating behavioral interview questions that focus on protocols such as strategic vision and business alignment, governance and ethics, mindset, cross-functional influence, talent strategy and team building, delivery and impact and culture and change management. Some sample questions might be: • 'Tell me how you have approached setting a strategic vision for AI that is aligned to the business goals. What challenges did you face, and what was the outcome?' • 'What methodology have you applied to AI governance and ethics? What challenges did you face, and how did you ensure team adherence?' • 'Can you share an example where you used cross-functional influence to bring about cross-functional alignment where it previously didn't exist?' Determine appropriate compensation. It's good to keep in mind that like any new hot commodity, a CAIO's market value is impacted by many factors. Talent availability, the prospective impact on the business, project scope, company size and internal equity for comparable roles are a few of the factors to consider. When it comes to comparative roles, I often see the CAIO surpass the ceiling. Another way investors are now gauging executive talent is benchmarking pay versus market norms: Too low puts you at retention risk, while too high could equal margin drag. I suggest working with your executive search firm to get current market rates based on the role, your company size and current market data. Give this decision the attention it deserves. Recruiting a CAIO is a strategic move that shapes your company's culture, ethics, infrastructure and growth, making it a mission‑critical leadership appointment. Today, executive searches for CAIOs command the same intensity and rigor once reserved for CFOs and CTOs. In a world racing to integrate AI responsibly, hiring top-tier CAIO talent is non-negotiable.
