Navigating leadership: A Compass Fireside Chat with Ross Perot Jr. and retired Adm. Patrick M. Walsh
The Compass School of Texas concluded its 2024-2025 Fireside Chat season with a panel on navigating leadership, featuring Ross Perot Jr., and Adm. Patrick M. Walsh. Attendees gathered at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science to hear from Perot, the chairman of The Perot Companies and Hillwood; and Walsh, the president of Cristo Rey Dallas and retired U.S. Navy four-star admiral. Opening remarks were given by Linda Silver, Ed.D., the Eugene McDermott CEO of the Perot Museum. 'Our mission to inspire minds through nature and science complements the work of The Compass School, so perfectly,' said Silver. The discussion was moderated by Peter Brundage, senior managing director at Evercore, who posed questions for the audience to gain insight into becoming, creating and employing great leaders. It all starts with education and giving. Walsh attributed early success to his years at Jesuit, afforded to him by generous individuals through scholarship funds, while Perot recognized the programming at The St. Mark's School of Texas from the parent perspective and training taught in the Boy Scouts of America. In looking at the next generation, Perot emphasized the demand for more academic institutions in Dallas to hone the skills desired for great leaders. 'You've got incredible young men and women that need phenomenal education. Compass is needed. It's going to continue to add to the growth of the region,' he said. expand Compass opened in 2023 and has grown from 43 students to 102 students, pre-K through fourth grade, with plans to expand to eighth grade. Through intentional partnerships, the school offers students opportunities to dive into real-world skills, like financial literacy, sustainability and public speaking. Compass enhances its education through cross-curricular learning, integrating STEM, daily Spanish, art, music and a signature Farm-to-Table program with its core classes. The curriculum combines a rigorous academic approach with hands-on experiences that aim to shape children into compassionate students, global ambassadors, critical thinkers and confident leaders. The conversation included many common themes on true leadership with a strong focus on integrity and altruism. When dissecting the qualities of accomplished leaders, Walsh said, 'There's an element of capacity that is just never exceeded. True leaders always find capacity.' Upon reflection of his own involvement in emergency response in Japan after the 2011 tsunami, Walsh realized it is not always about having the loudest voice or the best ideas. 'Part of building an organization is just showing people how much you care,' he said. This sentiment was shared by Perot, who stressed living by these principles in his own company, noting this mindset is why many employees on his leadership team have been with their company for more than 30 years. 'Somebody gets sick, we're going to find the best doctors, and we don't care what it costs. When you take care of people that way, you've got partners for life. The type of people that are attracted to our companies; they want that high achievement.' expand Perot's main takeaway for the night was that 'It's about others and it's about giving and about taking care of people. It's about making your city, your state, your country and the world a better place to live.' His insight speaks volumes to the spirit of generosity embedded in the business community of Dallas. It is the same mentality that sparked a sense of stewardship in the Compass School of Texas founding team when developing the Fireside Chat series. Frances Mitchell, co-founder of The Compass School of Texas, said, 'Having these remarkable leaders share their time and wisdom is truly invaluable. Hosting the Fireside Chat series allows Compass to share inspiring knowledge and partner with the community beyond our campus.' Each event is open to the public and designed to extend the learning experience by providing expert knowledge on core values instilled in the Compass students — community, family, leadership, purpose and resilience.

Is PlayStation 6 Under Production? Sony Teases Next-Gen Plans
Sony has confirmed that PlayStation 6 (PS6) is "top of mind" of developers as the company plans its new console offering. During a June 13 Fireside Chat, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO and president Hideaki Nishino dropped the hint, making it the first time that the company admitted to PS5's successor. While PS5 was launched five years ago, Sony launched PS5 Pro in November last year with moderate improvements to gameplay. "Our console business has evolved into a multi-faceted platform, and we now have a large ecosystem of highly engaged players across both the PS5 and PS4 generations, so naturally therefore, there's a huge interest in our next generation console strategy," Mr Nishino said, as per IGN. "While we cannot share further details at this stage, the future of the platform is top of mind. We are committed to exploring a new and enhanced way for players to engage with our content and our services," he added. As for the future of gaming, particularly cloud gaming, Mr Nishino reaffirmed the importance of PlayStation consoles. "The business model for cloud gaming must be sustainable for the longer-term gross. Cloud gaming is progressing well from a technical standpoint, we have demonstrated with these offerings, but end-to-end network stability is not in our control. And the higher cost per playtime compared to the traditional console model remains a challenge," said Mr Nishino. "Cloud gaming is increasingly providing additional options for players to access content, but our belief is that the majority of players continue to want to experience gaming through local execution without dependency on local network conditions. And PS5 and PS5 Pro have validated this thesis, I believe." Social media reacts Reacting to the news of a potential PS6 in the works, social media users were divided, with some saying Sony had not provided enough PS5 exclusive games, while others said the console was still new. "PS5 has been out for less than 5 years, and now they wanna drop PS6???" said one user while another added: "PS5 has barely had any great PS5 ONLY games. It's been a remaster machine." A third commented: "Sony should seriously focus on bringing as many single-player titles as possible with PS6. No more remasters or live-service."

AI must be subordinate to fairness, equity, human dignity: Justice Surya Kant
Supreme Court judge Justice Surya Kant has said justice cannot be reduced to a digital product, warning that artificial intelligence (AI) must always remain subordinate to fairness, equity, and human dignity. 'Justice, unlike software, is not a product to be optimised, but a principle to be honoured. Technology must remain subordinate to our higher commitments to fairness, equity, and human dignity,' said Justice Kant, who is set to become the Chief Justice of India in November. Speaking at Microsoft's Fireside Chat on 'AI and Law' on June 6, Justice Kant cautioned that while AI promises to enhance access, efficiency, and transparency in the legal system, unchecked deployment could mirror and even magnify existing societal inequities. 'Technology, if left unchecked, can reflect and reinforce societal inequities. AI is not a perfect technology, and it can perhaps never replace the human element that the entire Rawlsian theory of justice hinges on,' he said. Rawlsian theory refers to the philosophy of justice developed by John Rawls, an American political philosopher. The core of the theory is the concept of 'justice as fairness', which aims to reconcile the seemingly competing values of freedom and equality. Justice Kant acknowledged the global nature of the challenges AI presents, particularly issues like algorithmic bias, hallucinated legal citations, and data protection. 'Take, for instance, the fictitious legal precedents that chatbots routinely come up with when faced with complex legal propositions,' said Justice Kant, warning of the risks of relying blindly on AI in sensitive domains like law. He spoke about growing cyber threats to courts and the judiciary, including ransomware attacks and doxing of judges, and said such digital risks were now 'a matter of constitutional resilience.' He said India has responded proactively, with secure e-filing platforms, the National Judicial Data Grid, and virtual hearings backed by multi-layered authentication. 'Cybersecurity is not a matter of IT hygiene, but of constitutional resilience…courts must invest not just in secure infrastructure, but in public confidence,' Justice Kant said. Justice Kant said the adoption of AI must not be driven by novelty or efficiency alone. 'We do so not as passive observers, but as stewards of a future we must shape with wisdom and purpose… Shaping the future demands more than innovation—it calls for an unwavering adherence to foundational values.' Justice Kant said India's judicial digital transformation, while ambitious, is being shaped through collaboration between technologists, judges, civil society, and academics via a dedicated Centre for Research and Planning within the Supreme Court. He referred to India's evolving legal-tech landscape and initiatives reshaping the courts including SUVAS, the Supreme Court's translation software that has enabled over 100,000 judgments in 18 regional languages, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems in Constitution Bench hearings for real-time transparency, and LegRAA, a legal research tool that aids without replacing judicial reasoning. 'These technologies are designed explicitly to support, not supplant, human judgment. It preserves the essential human element of jurisprudence, ensuring that final legal Page 6 of 13 interpretations remain firmly rooted in wisdom, compassion, and ethical discernment,' he said. Justice Kant called for building AI systems that reflect functional competence and moral clarity. 'I remain firmly convinced that any contemplation of AI must be guided by a deep moral compass. Shaping the future demands more than for an unwavering adherence to foundational values. Transparency, equity, responsibility, and respect for human dignity must not be afterthoughts, but the pillars upon which all technological advancement rests…Let this dialogue between technologists and jurists be not the end, but the beginning of a sustained collaboration, one where justice and technology walk hand in hand, with the citizen always at the centre.'
