The Supreme Court of the United States has clipped the power of the executive branch in ruling that President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs was illegal. The decision is leading thousands of companies to seek refunds, and threatening to upend trade agreements the U.S. previously struck with countries seeking lower rates. Meanwhile, the administration is vowing to implement new tariffs using different legal statutes.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the world by storm, promising to enhance efficiency and revolutionize business. Corporations are embracing the technology, with AI market size expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030. But companies that deploy AI for their operations are confronting risks involving litigation, privacy, and ethics. And regulators are struggling to keep pace with its rapid deployment, leading some to fear AI is out of control — that it could spawn a surveillance state and render portions of the workforce obsolete.

How can businesses best employ AI efficiently? What are its superpowers — and potential perils? And what’s in store for the future of AI technology?

The Supreme Court of the United States is back in session with a blockbuster docket that could shift the levers of power in America. Issues range from the scope of executive authority, and the role of the federal government, to the power of the lower courts in resolving executive power disputes. As cases on the so-called “shadow docket” pile up, some district judges are speaking out, raising concerns about risks to the high court’s legitimacy. Meanwhile, the business world is watching and waiting for a decision on the administration’s tariff-setting power that could shake the global economy.

Have the courts provided sufficient guardrails, what limits can Congress impose — and will those checks and balances last? Will SCOTUS rein in the administration’s tariff strategy? And how should businesses respond?
