LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 11, 2026) – [THIS IS AN ENCORE EPISODE.] Artificial intelligence is moving fast — and Kentucky lawmakers are working to make sure the state can take advantage of new tools without sacrificing transparency, privacy or public trust. On this episode of 'Behind the Blue', Kentucky State Senator Amanda Mays Bledsoe — a Lexington native and University of Kentucky alum — joins host Kody Kiser to talk about her path into public service, what she's hearing from constituents in Senate District 12, and how she views UK's land-grant mission of service to communities across the Commonwealth. Bledsoe represents parts of Fayette County along with Woodford, Mercer and Boyle counties. In the conversation, she points to infrastructure — including roads and aging water and wastewater systems — as a major concern for the region, while also highlighting the role higher education, signature industries and health care play in central Kentucky's future. The interview also explores Bledsoe's emerging leadership on technology policy, including Kentucky Senate Bill 4, which she describes as a framework for "responsible AI governance" within state government. Bledsoe explains that the goal is not to regulate every minor use of technology, but to establish guardrails for higher-risk, decision-making tools — including creating transparency around where and how AI is used, and building oversight to ensure accountability. "AI is not spellcheck," Bledsoe said, emphasizing the need for stronger scrutiny when government systems generate new outputs or influence decisions. She also discusses concerns around deceptive AI-generated political content and the importance of ensuring voters can trust what they see — particularly in the final days leading up to an election. Looking ahead, Bledsoe points to a wide range of challenges and opportunities — from consumer protection and privacy to safeguarding minors online — and says Kentucky will likely need to keep refining its approach as the technology evolves. She also describes how institutions like UK can help shape the state's AI future through research, workforce preparation and teaching students to be critical, responsible users of these tools.

Guy Adami and Dan Nathan break down a strange Friday tape: a strong jobs report that sent stocks lower as the market prices out rate cuts — and even flirts with hikes. They dig into the Broadcom-led selloff in semis, Anthropic's call to slow down AI development and what it could mean for the CapEx trade, and Bitcoin getting cut in half at ~$60K alongside the unraveling of the crypto treasury-company trade. Then Guy unloads on the SpaceX IPO and Jamie Dimon's endorsement of the deal, asking whether someone just rang the bell at the top. In the second half, Dan sits down with Jim Brooks, CEO of Team Rubicon, on his path from Navy SEAL to the CIA to the C-suite — and what grit, culture, and leadership look like when you're leading a force of 200,000 volunteers. They close on defense tech, drones, and the future of the space economy.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with returning guest Ekue Kpodar for their third conversation together, covering a wide range of topics at the intersection of technology, geopolitics, and the evolving information age. They dig into Ekue's unconventional setup of running local AI models across roughly 15 computers, the growing case for open source models over closed ones from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, and how Chinese open source models may be positioned to outcompete Western alternatives on a global scale. The conversation also touches on vibe coding and the democratization of software development, the strategic use of small models for IoT and enterprise applications, the role of Israel and China as dominant players in the information age, and how smaller nations and even individuals may wield outsized power as AI continues to collapse the cost of knowledge work. You can find Ekue Kpodar on X @ekpodar and LinkedIn.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Ekue for their third episode, diving into vibe coding and AI-driven development changes.05:00 Ekue explains using Claude on Chrome to auto-reply on Skool, burning tokens through screenshots, and Playwright as a more efficient alternative.10:00 Stewart describes his Claude-dependent planning and coding agent system breaking after a model update, prompting him to build his own chatbot.15:00 Small models discussed as critical for IoT, defense, and privacy-focused enterprises building internal APIs instead of routing traffic to OpenAI.20:00 Open source versus closed source debated, with Chinese models gaining global traction while US foundational labs remain expensive and restrictive.25:00 SaaS apocalypse explored as AI commoditizes knowledge work, with Linux and Terraform cited as proof open source still generates wealth.30:00 OpenAI's sci-fi terminator fears explained as the reason they stayed closed source, ultimately handing China a strategic open source advantage.35:00 China's economic dumping strategy applied to AI, potentially displacing US model dominance globally the same way manufacturing was disrupted.40:00 Israel's signals intelligence dominance discussed alongside asymmetric warfare, drones defeating tanks, and information control replacing military muscle.45:00 Global information age rankings debated, Israel leading, US and China tied, France and Poland emerging as sovereign tech players.50:00 Qatar, NVIDIA, and Iran cited as proof that rare resources and technology matter more than population size in the 21st century power landscape.Key Insights1. Running local AI models on a network of affordable computers can be more cost-effective than relying entirely on third-party APIs. By using compressed or smaller open source models locally, developers can handle repetitive or lower-stakes tasks without burning through expensive tokens from providers like Anthropic or OpenAI.2. Small AI models are becoming increasingly important for IoT, defense applications, and companies that do not want to send sensitive data to external providers. Organizations can download open source models, run them on internal servers, and build proprietary APIs around them, creating something like an intranet of specialized small models.3. The value created by AI tools is being redistributed away from traditional SaaS companies toward foundational model providers and individual builders. People are canceling subscriptions to software they once paid hundreds per month for, because AI now allows a single person to build comparable tools themselves.4. Open source technology does not eliminate the ability to profit. Linux and Terraform are both open source yet made their creators wealthy. People will still pay for installation, setup, troubleshooting, and customization even when the underlying software is free.5. China is applying its longstanding manufacturing dumping strategy to artificial intelligence by releasing cheap open source models globally, which threatens to erode US dominance in AI the same way Chinese manufacturing undercut other countries for decades.6. In the information age, the size of a country or institution matters far less than its access to rare resources or advanced technology. Qatar, Israel, and NVIDIA each demonstrate that small populations or headcounts can wield enormous global negotiating power through concentrated technological or resource advantages.7. Asymmetric warfare is redefining military power, with inexpensive drones defeating tanks that cost millions to build. This shifts the advantage toward nations that excel at signals intelligence and information management rather than those with the largest conventional military forces.

What happens when AI writes code faster than anyone can test it? In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Dan Faulkner, CEO of SmartBear, to explore one of the most underappreciated risks of the AI coding boom. As tools like Claude Code and Codex push software development to unprecedented speed, the systems built to validate that software are being left behind. Dan makes a distinction that every engineering leader needs to hear: clean code passing unit tests is not the same as an application that actually works. Dan introduces the concept of application integrity, continuous and measurable assurance that your software does everything it was intended to do and nothing it was not. He explains why the gap between what AI builds and what teams actually validate is already creating hidden risk in production, and why that risk compounds the faster you ship. We also get into the new failure modes that agentic AI is introducing. Slop squatting, instruction inversion, cascading errors. These are not theoretical. They are happening now, at scale, in codebases that no human has fully read. Dan also walks through SmartBear's autonomy ladder framework and their newest product BearQ, a team of AI agents that explores your application, builds a knowledge graph, authors tests, runs them, and updates everything as your app evolves. The key distinction: it is built to augment human teams, not replace them. Finally, Dan shares his honest take on the future of software engineering. The fallacy was always that coding was the hard part. The hard part is knowing what to build. That skill is not going anywhere.

Ethics is arguably the most important issue facing us today. Wade hosts two podcasts: The AI Ethics Dude and The Reflective Revolution, and co-hosts the Consciousness RenAIssance YouTube channel. Wade is an Associate Professor of Business Ethics & Law and holds a Juris Doctor and a Masters of Information Systems. He is an adherent of the Platonic wisdom tradition and has written a book about developing one's consciousness: Conscious Business Ethics: The Practical Guide to Wisdom. SHOW NOTES SPONSORED BY: Power of You! Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this conversation, Blaine and Wade Chumney explore the intersection of AI, consciousness, and ethics. They discuss the implications of AI development on ethical behavior, the nature of consciousness, and the importance of teaching ethics in business. The conversation emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things and the ripple effect of ethical behavior in society. Chumney shares insights from his teaching experience and the practical applications of virtue ethics, highlighting the need for a conscious approach to AI and business ethics. Takeaways AI is progressing at an exponential rate, raising ethical concerns. Ethics is the most important issue facing our species today. Your intention shapes your experience with AI. There is a significant difference between theory and practice in ethics. Everything in the universe is interconnected, emphasizing the importance of ethical behavior. The golden rule serves as a fundamental principle of ethics. Consciousness is the foundation from which all forms arise. We need to actively spread the principles of ethics in society. AI has the potential to change everything if it becomes conscious. Understanding our interconnectedness can lead to a more ethical future. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our 239th episode with a summary and discussion of last week's big AI news!FYI: this one has pretty out of date news, I was traveling last week and failed to upload... apologies. Recorded on 03/25/2026Hosted by Andrey Kurenkov and Jeremie HarrisFeel free to email us your questions and feedback at andreyvkurenkov@gmail.com and/or hello@gladstone.aiRead out our text newsletter and comment on the podcast at https://lastweekin.ai/In this episode:OpenAI is discontinuing the Sora iPhone app and seemingly shutting down its video generation API, while retaining internal video world-modeling work; the move is framed as a compute- and focus-driven pivot toward coding and productivity agents, alongside a collapsed Disney Sora deal. Anthropic's Claude Code/Cowork gains full computer control via keyboard/mouse/display, tied to the recent Cept acquisition, and Google's Gemini rolls out background “task automation” on select phones for limited delivery/ride-share use. Cursor releases the cheaper, benchmark-strong Composer 2 coding model amid controversy over its Kimi-based origins and licensing attribution. Other items include Adobe Firefly custom model training, Luma's Uni 1 image model, US contracting and legislative proposals affecting AI safeguards and state preemption, major chip/memory developments (Meta ASICs with Broadcom, Micron's HBM-driven surge, Musk's “Terra Fab”), robotaxi scaling, and research on monitoring agent misalignment, shutdown resistance, “consciousness cluster” preferences, and self-improving “hyper agents.”Timestamps:(00:00:10) Intro / BanterTools & Apps(00:01:48) OpenAI Discontinues Sora App, Shuts Down Video Generation Service and API - Bloomberg(00:07:12) Anthropic's Claude Code and Cowork can control your computer | The Verge(00:13:15) Gemini task automation is slow, clunky, and super impressive | The Verge(00:19:44) Cursor Launches Composer 2 AI Model to Challenge OpenAI & Anthropic(00:28:28) Adobe's AI image generator can now be trained on your own art | The Verge(00:29:40) Luma AI launches Uni-1, a model that outscores Google and OpenAI while costing up to 30 percent less | VentureBeatApplications & Business(00:32:41) Trump Contracting Clause Would Override AI Safeguards(00:40:00) Meta accelerates AI ASIC roll-out as Broadcom secures four-generation chip design deal(00:47:07) Micron revenue almost triples, tops estimates as demand for memory soars(00:50:54) Elon Musk Unwraps $25 Billion Terafab Chip-Building Project - CNET(00:56:40) Zoox to widen US robotaxi footprint with San Francisco, Vegas expansion(00:57:39) Waymo hits 170 million miles while avoiding serious mayhem | The VergePolicy & Safety(00:58:43) The White House just laid out how it wants to regulate AI | CNN Business(01:06:54) How we monitor internal coding agents for misalignment(01:12:30) Incomplete Tasks Induce Shutdown Resistance in Some Frontier LLMs(01:18:15) Summary: Mechanisms to Verify International Agreements about AI Development(01:23:09) Scoop: Anthropic meets with House Homeland Security behind closed doorsResearch & Advancements(01:24:24) Consciousness Cluster: Preferences of Models that Claim they are Conscious(01:30:22) HyperAgentsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Hosts Dave and Dharmesh explore how AI-powered “vibe coding,” autonomous agents, and real-time software creation are reshaping the future of development with Sergio Gago, CTO of Cloudera. Sergio, a former leader at Moody's and now CTO at Cloudera, is at the forefront of AI-driven data platforms. He introduces the concept of vibe coding, a new paradigm where developers (and increasingly non-developers) can create full applications simply by describing what they want. Rather than writing code line-by-line, users can now prompt AI systems to generate complete solutions, from architecture to deployment, in minutes. A central theme of the episode is the democratisation of software creation. What once required teams of engineers, significant funding, and months of development can now be achieved by individuals, even those with no formal coding experience. Sergio shares real-world examples, from rapid prototyping to fully functioning applications built in under an hour, highlighting how dramatically the barriers to entry have fallen. The conversation also explores how this shift is transforming engineering teams themselves. Rather than replacing developers entirely, AI is enabling a new model where engineers orchestrate fleets of intelligent agents, systems that can write, review, test, and refine code autonomously. This is leading to exponential gains in productivity, with teams becoming significantly more efficient while maintaining control over architecture, security, and governance. Dave and Dharmesh also tackle the risks. From “shadow AI” and security vulnerabilities to the challenges of maintaining enterprise-grade systems, the episode examines why governance, oversight, and structured workflows remain critical, particularly for banks and regulated industries. Looking ahead, the discussion moves beyond coding into the rise of autonomous agents, systems that don't just build software, but actively monitor, adapt, and optimise business processes in real time. From marketing automation to financial decision-making, these agents could fundamentally change how organisations operate. The episode closes with a broader reflection on the role of humans in this new world. As software creation becomes commoditised, the value shifts from writing code to curating ideas, defining problems, and deciding what should be built in the first place. For anyone interested in AI, software development, fintech innovation, and the future of work, this is a conversation that offers a glimpse into what may be one of the most significant technological shifts of our time.

My take on slowing down AI. Text version here: https://joecarlsmith.com/2026/03/19/on-restraining-ai-development-for-the-sake-of-safety/
Traditional AppSec tools were created with the assumption that humans wrote code and security reviewed it afterward. But when AI generates code continuously and autonomously, at a speed no traditional security process can keep up with, vulnerabilities spread long before a scanner ever runs. Risk is compounding while security struggles to catch up. In this episode, Dave Rubinstein speaks with Eran Kinsbruner, vice president of marketing at AppSec company Checkmarx. Among the topics discussed are:-- Why traditional AppSec tools can't keep pace with AI-generated code-- The need to ensure security from the beginning of the project-- How the SDLC is morphing into assn ADLC -- Agentic Development Life Cycle

As more developers turn to LLMs to generate code, more appsec teams are turning to LLMs to conduct security code reviews. One of the biggest themes in all the discussion around LLMs, agents, and code is speed -- more code created faster. James Wickett shares why speed continues to pose a challenge to appsec teams and why that's often because teams haven't invested enough in foundational appsec principles.

AI is settling in as infrastructure within newsrooms, a layer quietly reshaping how journalists discover information, how stories move through production, and how audiences increasingly expect news to reach them.In this episode of Newsroom Robots, recorded live in New York City at TV News Check's News Tech Forum, host Nikita Roy brings together four industry leaders to examine the tangible ways AI is transforming newsroom operations. The conversation features Ryan Struyk, Director of AI Initiatives at CNN; Rubina Madan Fillion, Associate Editorial Director of AI Initiatives at The New York Times; Arlyn Gajilan, Global Editor of AI Development and Integration at Reuters; and Burt Herman, Co-Founder and Principal of Hacks/Hackers.The discussion focuses on defining questions for the news industry: Where is AI already delivering real operational impact? How should newsrooms adapt to a world of “liquid content” and AI-mediated distribution? Is human-in-the-loop governance sustainable, or is it already breaking down? As trust in news declines and trust in AI interfaces rises, what becomes journalism's true competitive advantage?In this episode, they cover:03:10 — Where AI is already embedded inside CNN's newsroom workflows04:25 — How The New York Times uses AI to power investigative reporting and the “Manosphere Report”07:30 — How Reuters compressed story production from minutes to seconds and feature development from three months to three weeks11:44 — Why Hacks/Hackers is urging small newsrooms to think from first principles before adopting AI15:15 — The rise of liquid content and what it means when audiences reshape journalism into their preferred formats23:24 — Why local news holds a unique advantage in an AI-mediated information landscape29:12 — Five years from now: What newsrooms hope they get right Hosted on Acast.
