Organizations Are Deploying AI Faster Than They Can Govern, Audit, or Secure, Creating New Compliance and Privacy Challenges.

Fairfax, Virginia, United States, 14th May 2026 – Cleared Systems founder and Regulatory vCISO Carl B. Johnson is advising organizations across Federal, SLED, healthcare, defense contracting, and critical industries to strengthen AI governance as artificial intelligence adoption rapidly expands across the workplace.

According to Johnson, many organizations are integrating AI tools into business operations faster than they can properly govern, audit, or secure them, creating new compliance, privacy, cybersecurity, and operational challenges.

Johnson refers to this growing trend as “Shadow AI” — the unauthorized or ungoverned use of AI tools by employees, contractors, and departments without proper oversight, compliance review, or security controls.

“Most organizations are still trying to understand how AI is being used internally,” said Johnson. “Sensitive healthcare data, controlled information, proprietary business data, and regulated information are increasingly interacting with AI systems before organizations have fully established governance and oversight processes.”

Johnson also advises organizations to avoid assuming artificial intelligence can fully replace experienced compliance, governance, privacy, and cybersecurity professionals.

“AI can significantly improve efficiency and operations,” Johnson said. “However, organizations still need experienced professionals to provide governance, oversight, risk analysis, policy enforcement, and regulatory interpretation — especially in highly regulated environments.”

Johnson notes that some organizations may unintentionally create operational and compliance gaps when reducing human oversight too aggressively during AI adoption initiatives.

“AI can accelerate operations, but accountability still requires human judgment,” Johnson added. “The organizations seeing the best long-term results are combining AI capabilities with strong governance and experienced compliance and cybersecurity leadership.”

Johnson’s upcoming keynote, The Future of Compliance: AI, Privacy, Cybersecurity, and Regulation, explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping regulatory expectations across industries and why executive leadership teams should begin treating AI governance as a strategic business priority.

The keynote focuses on:

• AI governance and compliance strategies
• Privacy and data protection considerations
• AI use within regulated industries
• Federal and SLED compliance considerations
• Healthcare and HIPAA-related AI concerns
• CUI and sensitive data handling
• Shadow AI and internal governance
• Executive accountability and risk management
• The future of compliance programs in the AI era

Fully Feared Sports, founded by professional basketball player Miles Weber, continues expanding internationally as a player led basketball consulting and placement organization helping athletes pursue professional opportunities worldwide. Built on genuine relationships, experience, and athlete development, the organization is focused on creating long term impact both on and off the court.

United States, 14th May 2026 — As the global basketball landscape continues expanding rapidly across international markets, Fully Feared Sports is positioning itself as one of the emerging player led basketball organizations focused on creating meaningful opportunities for athletes worldwide.

Founded by professional basketball player and entrepreneur Miles Weber, Fully Feared Sports has steadily built relationships throughout multiple basketball markets across Latin America, Central America, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean while continuing to grow its presence internationally through player placements, consulting, media exposure, camps, events, club partnerships, and basketball operations.

Unlike many traditional agencies that operate strictly from a business perspective, Fully Feared Sports was created through firsthand experience and a genuine understanding of the challenges athletes face while pursuing professional careers internationally.

The organization’s foundation was built by active professional players who understand the realities of overseas basketball because they continue living it themselves every day.

“We’ve experienced almost everything our players experience,” Weber explained. “The uncertainty, the pressure, the sacrifices, the highs, the lows, difficult situations overseas, adapting to new countries and cultures, all of it. That gives us a different level of understanding and connection with the athletes we work with.”

According to Weber, one of the biggest differences separating Fully Feared Sports from many organizations within basketball is the level of personal investment and genuine care the company has for its athletes.

“A lot of people in this business treat athletes like transactions or dollar signs,” Weber said. “For us, relationships matter. We care about our players as people first, not just basketball players. Their career matters, but so does their mental health, their family, their future, and the direction their life is heading overall.”

What initially began as a clothing brand during Weber’s college years eventually evolved into something much larger. Through years of professional experience, international networking, and relationship building, Fully Feared Sports transformed into a growing global basketball network focused on helping athletes navigate the difficult and often misunderstood world of professional basketball.

Over the years, the organization has worked with athletes from multiple backgrounds and levels, including accomplished college players, overlooked athletes searching for second opportunities, and individuals with limited exposure who simply needed someone willing to believe in them and provide the right platform.

The company has also continued expanding opportunities for both male and female athletes internationally.

For Weber, helping athletes accomplish lifelong goals has become one of the most rewarding aspects of building the organization.

“I’ve seen basketball genuinely change people’s lives,” Weber explained. “I’ve seen players take care of their families, travel the world for the first time, experience different cultures, gain confidence, and accomplish dreams they’ve had since they were kids. Moments like that remind you this is about much more than basketball.”

As Fully Feared Sports continues growing, Weber believes one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding overseas basketball is how little many people truly understand the business side of international sports.

From contracts and market differences to league structures, professionalism, financial expectations, and networking, Weber believes success overseas requires far more than simply talent alone.

“A lot of players think they deserve certain contracts, situations, or money without fully understanding the level of competition globally,” Weber said. “Talent is important, but professionalism, discipline, character, consistency, adaptability, and understanding how the business works are just as important. Overseas basketball is a completely different world.”

Despite still being in the early stages of long term growth, Fully Feared Sports has already developed strong and lasting relationships throughout several international basketball markets, particularly throughout Latin and Central America where the organization has continued building a strong reputation and extensive basketball network.

At the same time, the brand has steadily expanded its relationships throughout Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean while continuing to pursue larger opportunities globally.

Beyond player representation and consulting, Fully Feared Sports has also been involved in international club partnerships, basketball tournaments, camps, scouting, media exposure, and basketball development initiatives designed to create additional opportunities for athletes and organizations alike.

Fully Feared Sports has also continued expanding through club ownership and team operations internationally. One of the organization’s clubs, Fully Feared BC, recently captured a championship in Thailand’s Warriors League, further establishing the brand’s growing presence within the international basketball landscape. Following the season, several players associated with the organization went on to continue their professional careers in other leagues, tournaments, and countries internationally, reflecting Fully Feared Sports’ ongoing commitment to player development, exposure, and long term career growth both on and off the court.

According to Weber, the long term vision for Fully Feared Sports extends far beyond becoming simply another sports agency.

The organization ultimately aims to become a globally recognized basketball brand involved across multiple levels of the game including player representation, club ownership, league consulting, media, player development, combines, evaluations, and international basketball operations.

Within the next several years, Weber hopes to continue building relationships across every major basketball market worldwide while eventually representing athletes and coaches competing at the NBA, WNBA, NBA G League, EuroLeague, and other elite professional levels internationally.

“We’re building this step by step and relationship by relationship,” Weber said. “Nothing meaningful happens overnight. But I truly believe Fully Feared Sports will become one of the top basketball organizations in the world because everything we’re building is authentic, genuine, and built through real experience.”

As international basketball continues becoming increasingly interconnected, Fully Feared Sports remains focused on helping athletes maximize opportunities globally while continuing to build a culture rooted in resilience, professionalism, loyalty, and long term growth.

Selkirk Copper Mines announced the discovery of a new mineralized zone, the 117 Lens, beneath a previously mined open pit.

Canada, 14th May 2026 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Selkirk Copper Mines. On May 11, 2026 Selkirk Copper Mines (TSXV: SCMI) (FSE: IO20) (OTCQB: SKRKF) announced the discovery of a new mineralized zone, the 117 Lens, beneath a previously mined open pit.

In June 2025, Selkirk First Nation (SFN) purchased the former Minto Mine out of bankruptcy, then partnered with the Frank Giustra-backed Fiore Group to form Selkirk Copper Mines.

SCMI is derisking the Minto Mine through exploration, resource expansion, engineering, and mine planning, with the goal of establishing a 12-15-year mine life prior to production restart.

The initial May 11, 2026 results from the 117 Lens indicate broad zones of copper-gold-silver mineralization, including 1.27% Cu, 0.89 g/t Au, and 5.91 g/t Ag (1.98% CuEq) over 12.6 m, within a broader interval of 0.41% Cu, 0.38 g/t Au, and 3.92 g/t Ag (0.58% CuEq) over 86.8 meters, from 244.2 m in 26SCM126.

“Copper is trading at an all-time high of US$6.44/lb and could go a lot higher as the effects of a supply squeeze and the Iran war are supercharged by stockpiling and mine closures,” reports Forbes on May 11, 2026.

With gold trading at about US$4,650 per ounce, the .89 g/t gold reported from the 117 Lens may positively impact Selkirk Copper’s future bottom line. Additional drilling is planned to develop a better understanding of this mineralized zone.

The green energy transformation creates copper demand. Money printing, government debt and the de-dollarization of the global economy creates gold demand.

“The 0.40 g/t gap between the average grade of currently producing gold mines and the global undeveloped deposit pipeline is one of the most consequential structural trends in the gold mining sector,” reports Discovery Alert. “It is not simply a geological observation; it is a forward-looking cost signal.”

In 2007, a gold and silver stream was sold to finance the construction of the Minto Mine, now controlled by Selkirk. The 2025 bankruptcy process extinguished that long-standing gold-and-silver stream.

The revenue from the sale of precious metals will now go directly to the operator. 

“We gained some advantages from the bankruptcy,” Colin Joudrie, Selkirk President & CEO, confirmed to Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “We have removed the gold and silver stream that sat astride this asset all the way back to 2007.”

“Minto is not a by-product copper, gold, silver mine,” added Joudrie. “This is a co-product mine. About 65% of the projected revenue is from copper, 35% from gold and silver. In this rising precious metal price environment, the removal of the stream is a game-changer for the asset.”

In the May 12, 2026 Crux Investor interview below, Joudrie talks about the 85 mineralized lenses at the Minto project.

“Grade is king,” confirmed Joudrie in the Crux Investor interview, “It’s a very important fundamental element of our industry. It doesn’t solve all the world’s problems, but it solves a lot of them. The primary ore bodies that make up this deposit are unique. This is a series of lenses that have been structurally disrupted.”

“They consist of chalcopyrite and bornite,” continued Joudrie. “There are no other sulphides. There’s almost no pyrite in this system. Getting 10-15 meter intervals of 6-10% copper – that is not just rare, it’s almost unique.”

“Understanding that, and how it can come out of the ground, is obviously the challenge and the opportunity. In this central zone, there are over 85 lenses that we’re advancing right now. Each one has the same basic description. The ore bodies themselves are quite straight forward. They’re mineable. The recoveries here are exceptionally high, 91% copper recovery over the life of mine.”

“Most major mining operations today are massive infrastructure undertakings, where you are building ports, roads, power lines and power plants. We don’t have to do that. When you’re thinking about how to make money, the best way to do that it is not to spend money on the stuff that doesn’t make money.”

“We don’t have to build a power line,” added Joudrie. “We don’t have to build a road. We don’t have to build an above-ground facility. Over $330 million has been spent on the above-ground infrastructure, a processing plant, and all the ancillary support buildings  needed for a modern mine. That is a recipe for success.”

Drilling at Minto East continues to intersect multiple lenses of high-grade mineralization including 2.36% Cu, 0.85 g/t Au and 5.44 g/t Ag (3.04% CuEq) over 5.8 m, from 241.7 m, and a second mineralized intercept of 2.57% Cu, 0.66 g/t Au and 7.66 g/t Ag (3.13% CuEq) over 9.1 m, from 476 min 26SCM128.

Assay results have been released for approximately 78% of the Phase 1 drill program, with the remaining results expected to be released over the next month.

As of May 1, Selkirk Copper has begun its Phase 2 drill program, targeting up to an additional 50,000 metres to be completed during 2026.

“With the updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on track for completion in mid-2026, we are looking ahead towards additional requirements that will support a potential restart decision in mid-2027,” stated Joudrie in the May 11, 2026 press release. [1]

“The Phase 2 drill program will continue to focus on resource expansion while also prioritizing important geoscience and technical data collection that will support the restart decision.”

“The drilling continues to deliver positive results, including the discovery of new mineralized zones located near existing resource areas and adjacent to underground mine infrastructure and potential open pit locations.”

“These results highlight that there is still significant discovery potential in the near-mine environment and support our view that our commitment to exploration drilling will continue to deliver meaningful positive results”.
