In “AI Literacy in Logistics with Gather AI's Andrew Hoffman”, Joe Lynch and Andrew Hoffman, CTO at Gather AI, discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming warehouse operations by using visual data from drones and other machines to identify issues, suggest next steps, and ultimately improve efficiency and accuracy. About Andrew Hoffman Andrew Hoffman is the Chief Technical Officer at Gather.ai, an AI-powered intralogistics optimization firm that empowers 3PLs, manufacturers, and retailers to improve margins and on-time order fulfillment in the widest range of logistics environments - from ambient to cold chain storage. Andrew has technical and leadership experience scaling supply chain-focused robotics companies from founding to exit, with over 20 patents in logistics, robotics, and robot coordination. He was a founding engineer at two supply chain robotics companies which were later acquired by Amazon – Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics) and CANVAS Technology. Most recently, he served as an Entrepreneur in Residence at tech-focused venture capital firm, Xplorer Capital, a Gather AI investor. About Gather AI Gather AI is an intralogistics AI company which collects visual data from drones, forklifts, and connected machines, integrates it with warehouse management systems (WMS) and cloud platforms, and uses AI to identify issues and suggest next steps. Key Takeaways: AI Literacy in Logistics In “AI Literacy in Logistics with Gather AI's Andrew Hoffman”, Joe Lynch and Andrew Hoffman, CTO at Gather AI, discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming warehouse operations by using visual data from drones and other machines to identify issues, suggest next steps, and ultimately improve efficiency and accuracy. AI as a Co-Pilot, Not a Replacement: The podcast reframes artificial intelligence as a collaborative tool that amplifies human capability. Much like a calculator assists a mathematician, AI acts as a "co-pilot" in the warehouse, providing real-time data and insights that enable staff to work more efficiently and accurately. Demystifying Core Concepts: The discussion breaks down key industry terms, clarifying the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) (the broad field of intelligent machines) and machine learning (ML) (the specific technique of systems learning from data). It also defines computer vision as the ability of a machine to "see" and interpret a warehouse environment. Proven ROI and Real-World Results: The episode highlights a concrete case study with Stadium Goods, a customer of Gather AI. By using the company's solution, they increased inventory accuracy to over 99%, reduced "inventory shrink" from 2% to a fraction of a percent, and saved over $200,000 by eliminating manual counting. Actionable Insights from Data: The conversation explains that AI systems learn from data over time, allowing them to transform complex data queries into natural language questions. This helps warehouse staff make better decisions on the fly, such as locating a specific pallet or finding an empty space in an aisle. The Collaborative "Agent": The concept of an "agent" in AI is reframed from a technical term to a collaborative entity. Gather AI's system—the drone, software, and computer vision—works as a partner to the warehouse staff, providing the data needed for faster, more accurate decisions and freeing up employees for more valuable tasks. A Leader with a Track Record of Innovation: Andrew Hoffman's background as a founding engineer at two logistics robotics companies, both later acquired by Amazon, establishes his deep expertise. His journey offers valuable insight into the past and future of scaling technology in the supply chain industry. A Clear Path to Getting Started with AI: For listeners looking to begin their AI journey, the podcast recommends starting with a pilot project to solve one specific problem, such as cycle counting. It also advises seeking partners who offer a comprehensive solution and a clear path to return on investment, rather than just a technology.

As a new academic year begins, journalism schools face a defining challenge: how to prepare students for a profession being reshaped by AI.At Stanford University, Djordje Padejski is leading the way. A veteran investigative journalist and now associate director of the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships at Stanford, he created one of the earliest AI-focused journalism courses at Arizona State University before bringing it to Stanford last year. His classroom is less lecture hall and more lab, where students test AI tools and also learn to examine them.On Newsroom Robots, Djordje shared how he structures his course and what journalism schools must do to prepare the next generation of journalists.Key topics include:Why journalism education must move beyond teaching AI as just a tool and instead frame it as a socio-technical phenomenon.How to embed AI literacy in classrooms by separating hype from reality, contextualizing the history of AI, and examining its cultural and ethical limits.Practical strategies Djordje uses to structure his Stanford course, from lab-style experimentation to peer-led discussions that uncover both opportunities and pitfalls of tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and NotebookLM.The importance of teaching students not just how to use AI but how to critically assess its strengths, biases, and limitations.What a future journalism curriculum or degree built around AI might look like, and how educators across disciplines can prepare the next generation of reporters.Sign up for the Newsroom Robots newsletter for episode summaries and insights from host Nikita Roy.

Whether we like it or not, and despite tales of its powers being greatly exaggerated, the AI genie is out of the box. What does that mean, and what can we do about it? In another twist of abysmal AI politics, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just admitted that we are in an AI bubble, and AGI is losing relevance. You may find this baffling or hilarious, or you may be wondering where does that leave the AI influencer types. But despite the absurdity, AI and the associated narrative have gotten way too important to dismiss. Connecting the dots to make sense of it all calls for long-standing experience in AI, engineering, business and beyond. In other words, for people like Georg Zoeller: a seasoned software and business engineer experienced in frontier technology in the gaming industry and Facebook. Zoeller has been using AI in his work dating back to the 2010's, to the point where AI is now at the core of what he does. Zoeller is the VP of Technology of NOVI Health, a Singapore-based healthcare startup, as well as the Co-Founder of the Centre for AI Leadership and the AI Literacy & Transformation Institute. In a wide-ranging conversation with Zoeller, we addressed everything from AI first principles to its fatal flaws and its place in capitalism. Today, we discuss regulatory capture, copyright, the limits of the attention economy, the new AI religion, the builder's conundrum, how the AI-powered transformation of software engineering is a glimpse into the future of work, AI literacy and how to navigate the brave new world.

How AI Can Inadvertently Expose Personal DataAI tools often unintentionally leak private information. For example, meeting transcription software can include offhand comments, personal jokes, or sensitive details in auto-generated summaries. ChatGPT conversations—when publicly shared—can also be indexed by search engines, revealing confidential topics such as NDAs or personal relationship issues. Even healthcare devices like MRIs and X-ray machines have exposed private data due to weak or absent security controls, risking identity theft and phishing attacks.Cybercriminals Exploiting AI for AttacksAI is a double-edged sword: while offering defensive capabilities, it's also being weaponized. The group “GreedyBear” used AI-generated code in a massive crypto theft operation. They deployed malicious browser extensions, fake websites, and executable files to impersonate trusted crypto platforms, harvesting users' wallet credentials. Their tactic involves publishing benign software that gains trust, then covertly injecting malicious code later. Similarly, AI-generated TikTok ads lead to fake “shops” pushing malware like SparkKitty spyware, which targets cryptocurrency users.Security Concerns with Advanced AI Models like GPT-5Despite advancements, new AI models such as GPT-5 remain vulnerable. Independent researchers, including NeuralTrust and SPLX, were able to bypass GPT-5's safeguards within 24 hours. Methods included multi-turn “context smuggling” and text obfuscation to elicit dangerous outputs like instructions for creating weapons. These vulnerabilities suggest that even the latest models lack sufficient security maturity, raising concerns about their readiness for enterprise use.AI Literacy and Education InitiativesThere is a growing push for AI literacy, especially in schools. Microsoft has pledged $4 billion to fund AI education in K–12 schools, community colleges, and nonprofits. The traditional "Hour of Code" is being rebranded as "Hour of AI," reflecting a shift from learning to code to understanding AI itself. The aim is to empower students with foundational knowledge of how AI works, emphasizing creativity, ethics, security, and systems thinking over rote programming.Legal and Ethical Issues Around Posthumous Data UseOne emerging ethical challenge is the use of deceased individuals' data to train AI models. Scholars advocate for postmortem digital rights, such as a 12-month grace period for families to delete a person's data. Currently, U.S. laws offer little protection in this area, and acts like RUFADAA don't address AI recreations.Encryption Weaknesses in Law Enforcement and Critical SystemsRecent research highlights significant encryption vulnerabilities in communication systems used by police, military, and critical infrastructure. A Dutch study uncovered a deliberate backdoor in a radio encryption algorithm. Even the updated, supposedly secure version reduces key strength from 128 bits to 56 bits—dramatically weakening security. This suggests that critical communications could be intercepted, leaving sensitive systems exposed despite the illusion of protection.Public Trust in Government Digital SystemsTrust in digital governance is under strain. The UK's HM Courts & Tribunals Service reportedly concealed an IT error that caused key evidence to vanish in legal cases. The lack of transparency and inadequate investigation risk undermining judicial credibility. Separately, the UK government secretly authorized facial recognition use across immigration databases, far exceeding the scale of traditional criminal databases.AI for Cybersecurity DefenseOn the defensive side, AI is proving valuable in finding vulnerabilities. Google's “Big Sleep,” an LLM-based tool developed by DeepMind and Project Zero, has independently discovered 20 bugs in major open-source projects like FFmpeg and ImageMagick.

Summary In this episode of the Develop This Podcast, Dennis Fraise is joined by Eric Canada and Ashley Canada to discuss the importance of AI literacy and its implications for economic development. They explore the origins of their AI workshops, the challenges of understanding AI, and the necessity of starting with personal applications. The conversation delves into effective prompting techniques, tools for engagement, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI usage. They also highlight the future of AI as a significant disruptor and the importance of education in navigating this landscape. The Everyman AI Advantage Tour Takeaways AI literacy is critically low, with only about 5% of users being proficient. Starting with personal applications of AI can ease the learning curve. Effective prompting is essential for maximizing AI responses. AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude serve different purposes and outputs. Organizations need a clear strategy for integrating AI into their operations. Ethical considerations in AI usage are paramount to ensure responsible application. AI presents both opportunities and challenges for economic development organizations. Education and training are vital for adapting to AI advancements. The future of AI will require proactive engagement from all sectors. Workshops can provide hands-on experience and practical knowledge for users.

Many companies spend a lot on data technology, but often forget about the importance of data and AI literacy. Without the right skills, even the best platforms can fail to deliver results. Teams need to understand how to work with data and AI to make any strategy successful.In this episode of Tech Transformed, EM360Tech's Trisha Pillay chats with Greg Freeman, the founder of Data Literacy Academy about why knowing data and AI matters for anyone building a digital strategy.Data and AI LiteracyFreeman points out that many data strategies end up as technical documents rather than actionable roadmaps. He explains that organisations often spend heavily on infrastructure, expecting better tools to solve their problems but without employees who understand how to work with data and why it matters, these investments rarely deliver results.Freeman explains that data strategies often fail because only a small portion of employees less than 20 per cent are truly enthusiastic about data. Most strategies are designed with this minority in mind, creating an echo chamber that leaves the majority behind. As a result, data stays siloed, and business decisions don't improve. The Data Literacy Academy founder stresses that unless organisations engage the 80 per cent of employees who aren't already invested, their strategies are unlikely to succeed. When the focus is on tools rather than people, adoption falls behind.TakeawaysData and AI literacy are key to turning strategy into value.Tools alone don't work; people need confidence and context.Focus on engaging the data-hesitant majority, not just the enthusiasts.Cultural change, not just technical change, is what drives ROIChapters00:00 – Introduction02:07 – Beyond the Tech Stack04:41 – Why Strategies Fail08:41 – Literacy Barriers12:08 – Success in the Real World17:17 – Building Lasting Literacy22:20 – AI Needs Literacy Too26:33 – Final TakeawaysAbout Greg FreemanGreg Freeman is the founder and CEO of Data Literacy Academy, where he works with CDOs, CIOs, and business leaders to drive real cultural change around data. His mission is to help organisations tackle data illiteracy by building confidence and capability from the ground up, especially for employees who feel disengaged or anxious about data.With a background in sales leadership and tech startups, Greg brings both strategic insight and real-world experience.

How small business owners can overcome fear, embrace Artificial Intelligence literacy, and start using generative AI tools to improve efficiency and competitiveness. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/577-susan-gonzales-ai-literacy/ Artificial intelligence isn't coming - it's already here, and small business owners can't afford to be left behind. In this episode of The How of Business, Henry Lopez speaks with Susan Gonzales, founder and CEO of AI and You, a nonprofit dedicated to making AI literacy accessible for everyday people. Susan explains why fear, skepticism, and lack of awareness are slowing AI adoption (especially among women and minority business owners) and how these barriers can be overcome. She breaks down the difference between predictive and generative AI, offers practical advice on where to start. Susan's five-step framework for crafting effective AI prompts: 1) Help me with… (Be specific) 2) You are a… (Define the role) 3) The output should be… (State the desired format) 4) You should know… (Provide context) 5) Here are some… (Include references or examples) From creating business plans and marketing strategies to streamlining repetitive tasks, Susan shares real-world examples of how AI can save time, reduce costs, and open new opportunities. She also warns about “hallucinations” in AI-generated output and emphasizes the importance of verifying results before relying on them. The conversation covers emerging trends like AI agents (the next generation of chatbots with reasoning capabilities) and how existing business tools, like CRMs, accounting platforms, and Microsoft Copilot, are embedding AI features business owners should explore. Susan's core message is clear: AI literacy is now an essential basic business skill. Owners who start learning and experimenting today will have a significant advantage over those who wait. “The more specific the prompt, the more specific the answer,” Susan advises, encouraging listeners to explore AI tools with curiosity rather than fear. Listen to gain the confidence, knowledge, and practical steps you need to start leveraging AI in your small business today. Susan Gonzales is the founder and CEO of AI and You, a nonprofit dedicated to making artificial intelligence literacy accessible to everyday people and small business owners.

Despite entering college as a pre-med major, Corey Layne Crouch '13 found her calling in the classroom after working as a teacher's aide for a kindergarten class. Switching majors, she set out on a path to transform the education system from within. Corey's entrepreneurial mindset in her work as a high school English teacher and school principal led her to Rice's Professional MBA program. Now, she's the chief program officer for AI for Education — an organization providing AI literacy training to educators and championing responsible use of AI in the education ecosystem. In this episode, Corey joins host Maya Pomroy '22 to chat about her pivots from pre-med to English to her current role as an educational tech executive — as well as her time at Rice Business, the importance of supporting AI literacy and the innovative ways she's influenced the education system. Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Corey Layne Crouch02:15 From Pre-Med to Kindergarten Teacher05:21 Teach for America and Moving to Houston08:23 Becoming a Principal and Pursuing an MBA17:04 Transition to EdTech and AI in Education25:07 Challenges and Misconceptions of AI in Schools30:26 Future of Education with AI38:22 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On building AI literacy through tool-agnostic workshops[30:26] Maya Pomroy: So, tell me some of the work that you do — because AI for Education is really tackling one of the, I mean, this is one of the biggest shifts in modern learning.[31:41] Corey Layne Crouch: So we provide workshops and thing that we do, as well as that we're tool agnostic. We do have opinions about tools and where, you know, what's safe and what's fit for purpose, and what we think isn't quite yet, and how to integrate it in that way. 'Cause the technology is going to continue to evolve, but we really believe a foundation of which is rooted in durable skills, right, of critical thinking, and evaluation and understanding the best tool for a job and how to be community oriented. That is the work that we do. And, of course, we teach people how to use the tools and drive towards outcomes with them while we're laying that foundation as well.How Houston's education scene inspired Corey's bold, equitable innovation07:16: Houston is such a great city, as you know, to be a young professional in and, and to start your career, let alone having the opportunity to be a part of the thriving, innovative education landscape there. I really think that it helped me think much bigger about what it meant to be an education and what was possible with innovation, and really moving the needle toward equity and supporting communities that historically, you know, weren't being serviced in the way that they deserved.Why entrepreneurship skills is essential for an AI-driven world32:46: I really believe that students need entrepreneurial skills, and not necessarily because every student is going to go off and start their own business per se, but at the root of it, entrepreneurial skills is about, you know, understanding what you're trying to drive to, or what's the job to be done, seeing what's the diagnosis, what are the challenges, or, you know, opportunities to do better, and then understanding the resources that you have, and moving forward with strategy, as if it's a puzzle piece and, you know, it's strategy, but it's also about just seeing that opportunity and having the confidence and the belief in your own critical thinking, your own resourcefulness, and your ability to collaborate and build relationship with others in order to solve a problem or drive something forward.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Corey Layne Crouch | AI for EducationCorey on LinkedIn

What if AI could level the playing field in higher education? This episode of Trending in Education explores that very question with Cecilia Marshall, Chief Advancement Officer at Ed Advancement. Host Mike Palmer and Marshall delve into the complex and compelling potential of AI, focusing on its impact on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other institutions serving under-resourced students. Marshall, whose journey winds from corporate advertising to the heart of educational advocacy, shares Ed Advancement's vital work: strengthening mission-driven colleges to fuel social mobility.
