Last update: 9 hours ago

AI & Utilities: Consumer advocates are warning that AI data centers could push up electric bills, with older Rhode Islanders on fixed incomes most at risk of paying for the power-hungry buildout. Healthcare Tech: More than 33 PACE organizations across 16 states have adopted IntusCare’s CareHub platform, aiming to cut admin burdens and improve care coordination for older adults. Prediction Markets Clash: Rhode Island’s attorney general is in a fresh legal fight with Kalshi and Polymarket over whether “events contracts” are really sports betting—setting up a potential precedent for other states. Memorial Day in RI: Rhode Island’s Memorial Day ceremony is set for Monday at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Exeter, with a local student set to deliver the keynote essay. Workforce Safety Snapshot: A new national fatality-rate map shows Rhode Island far safer than the worst states, where workplace deaths are concentrated in energy, mining, trucking, and agriculture. Local Business/Travel: A new Great Lakes cruise ship, the American Patriot, docked in Clayton, highlighting renewed domestic cruising interest.
