Watch Paul and Scarlet LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu -Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Transport, Logistics and Shipping Analyst, recaps FedEx earnings. FedEx shares fell after the parcel delivery company posted its first earnings report since completing the spinoff of its freight unit earlier this month. Results seem to have fallen short of investor expectations after a strong run-up in the first half of the year. -Ryan Ward, BloombergNEF Weather Associate, discusses how AI is modeling mega storms with surprising accuracy. AI hurricane forecasts faced a first stress test in 2025: Hurricane Melissa, the strongest Category 5 hurricane in the modern era. AI models are trained on historical data, meaning a storm of this magnitude was not in the training set and potentially not predictable. -Linda Cohn, ESPN Sportscenter Anchor, discusses retiring after 34 years at ESPN. Hall of Fame sportscaster Linda Cohn has served as a SportsCenter anchor since joining ESPN in 1992. She is ESPN’s longest-tenured SportsCenter anchor and in early 2016 was recognized for anchoring her 5,000th SportsCenter, the most of any anchor in ESPN history. In 2017, she was inducted into the National Sports Media Association (NSMA) Hall of Fame. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The thing about AI for business, it may not automatically fit the way your business works. At IBM, we've seen this firsthand. But by embedding AI across HR, IT, and procurement processes, we've reduced costs by millions, slash repetitive tasks, and freed thousands of hours for strategic work. Now we're helping companies get smarter by putting AI where it actually pays off, deep in the work that moves the business. Let's create smarter business. IBM.

When you're running a business, the best days are the ones where priorities stay on track. For midsize and large companies, that isn't always easy. Risk can touch multiple parts of an organization at the same time, often in ways that aren't immediately obvious. It might involve property, liability, or cyber. It could stem from regulatory requirements or challenges tied to a specific industry or the scale of an operation. At that level, managing risk becomes an ongoing discipline, not a one-time decision.

At the Hartford, the focus is on helping businesses manage risk before it turns into something more disruptive.
