Artificial intelligence (AI) is the new electricity, promising to radically transform our world. Today’s science fiction could become reality with AI, leading to a future where superintelligent machines oversee most tasks. This progress may affect human relevance without timely safeguards. Bob Maginnis will join us to remind us that we must embrace God’s purpose for man while rejecting the notion that AI is our replacement as secular futurists claim. Rather, it can become Satan’s tool to undermine God’s plan for humankind and the instrument the coming. antichrist could use in his failed quest to take over the world at the prophetic end times.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today - A warning about how much information you give an AI chatbot. Artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have made getting financial advice faster and easier than ever. But as the AI gold rush heats up, a massive privacy risk is emerging. Clark breaks down the critical things you should never tell an AI chatbot.  Also - The anatomy of a Ponzi scheme that RIPPED OFF $140 million from “investors.”  Clark covers two massive fraud cases—Drive Planning and First Liberty—which collectively defrauded thousands of investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars. When inflation or economic uncertainty makes us feel insecure about our money, we become susceptible to smooth pitches. Clark reminds us of the ultimate golden rule of investing: any time someone promises you "guaranteed" double-digit returns with zero risk, it is a lie. Learn how these schemes operate so you can spot the red flags, protect your hard-earned savings, and secure your financial future. Plus, Lane (Clark's wife!) shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the June 1, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show.

Artificial intelligence and clinical oculomics are transforming optometry and the future of eye care. Dr. Osama Said explains how retinal scans and AI may soon help optometrists predict cardiovascular disease, dementia, blood pressure, and other systemic conditions years before symptoms appear.

This book, written by scientist Adrian Woolfson, explores how recent technology could let us "write" or design DNA, which is the code of life. Woolfson believes that by learning to program DNA, we could change biology in amazing ways. For example, in the future, we might be able to grow houses instead of building them, have living smartphones, or wear clothes that can react to us. We could even store all human knowledge in a tiny piece of DNA, cure all diseases, and live much longer lives.To make this possible, Woolfson says we need to understand DNA as a language that we can read and write. Right now, scientists are just starting out—they can write the DNA of simple things like viruses and bacteria. But soon, we might be able to create the DNA of extinct animals or even new life forms that have never existed before. This would mean life could be designed and changed by humans.However, this power comes with big risks. Changing life in such a major way could have unexpected effects on nature and on what it means to be human. Woolfson's book explains these possibilities and warns that we need to use this technology carefully and ethically.Experts praise the book for being bold, imaginative, and easy to understand. They say it is important reading for anyone interested in the future of life on Earth. https://adrianwoolfson.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . Studying human intelligence is a matter of neuroscience, and creating software is a matter of computing, so creating artificial intelligence would be at the intersection of those fields, called computational neuroscience, and I have with me one of the founders of that field. Tomaso Poggio is the Eugene McDermott professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT and the Director of the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a founding fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. His home page says that he “develops models of brain function that illuminate human intelligence and builds intelligent machines that can mimic human performance.” Wow. His new book, Brains, Minds, Machines, The Mystery of Human Intelligence, the Enigmas of the Artificial, comes out this summer. Tomaso defines computational neuroscience, and then we talk about computation in the human brain, how large language models landed for him, holography, limitations of LLMs, and backpropagation equivalents in the human brain. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.        

By Mr. Stefanos Angeletos, Mr. Nikolaos Koulierakis, Dr. Vasiliki Danilatou Europe's digital transformation is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries, critical infrastructures are becoming increasingly interconnected, and cyber threats are growing in both sophistication and frequency. Against this backdrop, the European Union faces a critical challenge: how to equip its workforce with the multidisciplinary skills required to secure Europe's digital future. The answer may lie in a new ambitious European initiative: EU-iNSPIRE – iNnovative multi-diSciPlinary Industry-focused cybersecurity education for upskilling and ReskIlling the EU workforcE. The project is supported by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HADEA) under the DIGITAL Europe Programme. EU-INSPIRE brings together 23 organisations across academia, industry, cybersecurity, policy, insurance, and standardisation to create a next-generation educational ecosystem for cybersecurity, AI, and cyber insurance. This four-year initiative officially began in January 2025 and will run until December 2028 under the coordination of the University of Piraeus Research Center in Greece. Eunomia Limited, an SME based in Dublin, Ireland, is proud to contribute to this groundbreaking initiative as one of the consortium partners. A Pan-European Initiative Addressing the Cybersecurity Skills Gap The cybersecurity skills shortage is no longer simply a workforce issue – it is a strategic challenge for Europe's resilience, economic stability, and technological sovereignty. Organisations across sectors increasingly struggle to recruit professionals who possess not only technical cybersecurity expertise, but also understanding of AI governance, cyber-risk management, regulatory compliance, and cyber-insurance. The rapidly evolving digital landscape increasingly demands professionals with multidisciplinary skillsets who can navigate technical, organisational, ethical, regulatory, and strategic challenges, rather than relying exclusively on narrow domain specialisation. EU-iNSPIRE was designed to address exactly this challenge. According to the project description, the initiative aims to revolutionise higher education within cybersecurity by cultivating a new generation of specialists with expertise spanning the political, organisational, and technological dimensions of cybersecurity, AI, and cyber insurance. The project will also support continuous upskilling and reskilling for professionals adapting to evolving digital threats and industry demands. The project is currently progressing towards the completion of course development. Why EU-iNSPIRE Matters Cybersecurity is no longer confined to IT departments. Every sector – from healthcare and finance to manufacturing, transport, insurance, and public administration – depends on resilient digital infrastructures. At the same time, AI technologies are rapidly being integrated into cybersecurity operations. AI can improve threat detection, automate incident response, and strengthen resilience. However, it also introduces new risks including adversarial attacks, algorithmic vulnerabilities, and ethical concerns around transparency, accountability, and bias. This convergence of cybersecurity and AI creates an urgent need for professionals who can work across disciplines. EU-iNSPIRE responds through a three-fold approach: 1. Training cybersecurity professionals capable of leveraging AI-driven technologies to enhance resilience of systems, infrastructures, and digital processes. 2. Developing cyber insurance specialists who understand the relationship between cybersecurity, AI, and cyber risk assessment. 3. Empowering domain experts with sector-specific digital transformation expertise, particularly in conformity assessment and regulatory compliance. The project goes beyond traditional academic programmes. It aims to create a sustainable ecosystem that combines: Master-level educati...

"Humanism has been the dominant Western belief system of the last century. It's based on the worship of human wisdom, human creation, human experience, human mind, and psychoanalysis has very much emerged from this humanist tradition. We believe in psychoanalysis, that delving into our feelings, our thoughts, and our shared wisdom will allow us to access truth and meaning and find proper direction for navigating life. AI is changing all of that. Instead of trusting our feelings and our thoughts, people are turning to algorithms to make meaning of our experiences and to offer us direction. We're plugging in our data and allowing the algorithms, or Chat GPT or Claude, to do the thinking and the decision making for us." Episode Description: We begin with Freud in 1930: "Humanity would proceed to create unimaginably great advances in technology so as to increase our likeness to God." Amy outlines the challenge that AI poses to our humanistic tradition and values within which psychoanalysis makes its home. She starts with the 'cult grooming' aspects of smartphones, which introduces our exchanging "human dependence for AI companionship." The question of the subjectivity of AI is a central focus, with some analysts emphasizing its "simulation of human intimacy" and others considering that "is it not also possible for AIs to at the same time be intersubjectively engaged with us?" Regarding using AIs as a therapist, we discuss the clinical implications of "without there being two bodies in a room, the contact is shallow and lacking an essential human component." Amy describes "a desire for transgression" involving AIs as well as the associated search for immortality that they represent. She writes about Bach's prescient 2008 term of "digital consciousness" as contrasted with the "analog watch where one can see the hour from which the hand has come and the hour to which it is going." Amy shares that it was fear that motivated her personal interest in the AI world we are facing, and she closes with, "And how do we address what we are losing from within psychoanalysis?"   Our Guest: Amy Levy, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. She chairs the American Psychoanalytic Association President's Commission on Artificial Intelligence, serves on the subcommittee "Artificial Intelligence" for the International Psychoanalytical Association, serves on the editorial board of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, and is Editor of the Substack series, "AI in My Mind," for The Psychoanalytic Quarterly. Along with her fellow CAI chair, Todd Essig, she is producing a documentary film for APsA which examines AI from a psychoanalytic perspective for the general public, entitled: Uncharted Territory: Humans and the Rise of AI. Dr. Levy is in private practice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She is the author of the 2026 book, The New Other: Alien Intelligence and the Innovation Drive. Recommended Readings:  Harari, Y. N.

How has colonialism shaped our western psychology? How can we reimagine our post-colonial psychology, before we wipe ourselves out? What is the role of the trickster archetype in the disruption of such a well-established and dominant world view?In this episode we have the tricky topic of trying to re-orientate our post-colonial psychology. So we're going to be looking into the reasons why we might need to do that, following the influence of the west's military-industrial rise to power over the last 250 years, and the post scientific revolution's predominantly reductionist, philosophy of science; we're going to be considering the consequences of such a view of humanity and the natural world; and crucially what elements we might invite back into our psychology, to perhaps set humanity back onto a path of harmony with its own species and its habitat, before it destroys itself. To do this we're going to be exploring the possibility that the dualistic, black and white separation of ideas into binary truth or falsehood; and right or wrong, is a big part of the problem; exploring how the complexity of systems, and the nuance of their relations goes far beyond the simplified duality of human thought; and we'll get into how when seen in that simplified binary way, the debate often degenerates into a mud slinging distraction from the underlying issues that continue to thrive un-checked and often grow worse. Fortunately, our guest today is a master of this topic: professor of psychology, philosopher, writer, post-activist and executive director of the Emergence Network, Bayo Akomolafe. He is the author of the books, “These wilds beyond our fences”, “We will tell our own story”, and many beautiful essays which you can find on his website. A new book on his work, “Selah: A Bayo Akomolafe Reader” is out now.What we discussed:00:00 Intro.07:10 The importance of mythopoetry.08:15 The story of Goddess Freya obsessively protecting her son Baldur.11:15 The imperviousness of modernity: Artificial control, order and optimisation.13:00 The trickster as chaos in the order, the inevitable impossibility within possibility.12:45 Accomodation theory - counter logic is baked in to logic. 15:15 Our safety delusion and the impossibility of control.16:15 Antiseptism - our sterilising divorce from the world. 17:20 Noticing the ‘disability' of western psychology.18:20 Psychology is colonial policeman, but it's breaking down.21:30 Therapy is not the only way to face dysfunctionality.21:55 Trauma is a good example of unity within opposites: Old shame tag swings to become an accolade of status.23:30 In pushing against the wall you become the wall.26:40 A third way bursting out of the opposites: The Gods of the fault-lines.31:00 Post activism: moving beyond the action/reaction duality.35:00 Move from speaking truth to power, to opening up to “power with”.40:15 White guilt will not make up for whiteness.43:50 Whiteness is a practice we do, not a biological trait: Fred Moten.44:10 Privilege is not a thing you have, it has you.50:20 How post enlightenment reductionism combined with leveraging fear of the unknown forms neo-colonial psychology.50:30 The coddling of the western mind: control, optimise and complete.54:15 Fear of death, disconnection from ancestry, and the west's “sickness of the soul”.01:00:00 We need new sacralities and rituals.01:01:45 A warning not to oversubscribe too much to our conceptual constructs and images.01:04:40 If we can language things too easily we might be missing the point.01:08:00 A mass disabling event: the handles of white modernity are collapsing.01:08:45 The myth of Erysicthon, and the hunger curse.References:Bayo's website of writings“Selah: A Báyò Akómoláfé Reader”Bayo Akomolafe, “These Wilds Beyond Our Fences”,Wendy Holloway quote: “Psychology is the policeman of capitalism”.Fred Moten idea, “Whiteness is a practice”.Malidoma Patrice Somé, “Of Water and the Spirit”.

Christina  Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren I subscribe to Kate Bowler's Substack and read this week that she had spoken at Church of the Resurrection in Kansas City. When she wrote that this United Methodist congregation had 25,000 members, I was a bit incredulous. Christina United Methodist churches do not usually grow that large, especially these days. Warren So, I did some fact-checking, and she is right, though most online sources also say that weekly attendance at the church is closer to 6,000. Still, that is big. The church is centrist in theology and has so far managed to stay in the United Methodist Church without suffering a meltdown in attendance, though its growth has flattened in recent years. I am going to keep my eye on the church. It will be an interesting bellwether for the future of the UMC. Christina Moving on, there's a leadership transition coming up at a significant Christian organization. Warren After nearly six years of service, Kevin Van Horne has stepped down as Executive Director of International Fellowship of Evangelical Students/ USA. His last day was Friday, May 15, 2026. According to a statement from the organization, “Kevin led IFES/USA through a season of significant change, helping to serve our global fellowship and partners well. We are deeply grateful for his leadership and for the ways God has worked through him.” Dave Shepherd (Director of Finance) has been appointed to serve as Interim Executive Director. IFES was a MinistryWatch Shining Light Award winner in 2023 and has maintained excellent ratings from us since then. Christina Warren, I know you are always interested in demographics and statistics. But something special caught your attention this week. Warren That's right, and before I say what that was, let me as some rhetorical questions. What is the most significant problem facing America and the world? Nuclear winter? Global warming? Artificial intelligence? I would submit for your consideration the coming depopulation of the earth. For at least 30 years, most reputable demographers have been saying that the world population growth is slowing and will likely top out soon. By the year 2100 the world will be in the midst of a significant population decline. Christina And one thing that caught your attention is just how much this population decline will impact all areas of life on earth. Warren That's right. This decline will have enormous implications for every aspect of life. Cities built for millions of people will disappear, leaving a rotting infrastructure. Economic growth will be impossible. We are already seeing towns in the Midwest and West disappear. That trend will accelerate. Christina I've got to admit, Warren, that that sounds a bit melodramatic. Warren I think it's fair to be skeptical, but population demographics is one area of social science that has pretty sound prediction models. Birth rates have fallen to record lows, and they don't change that much from year to year. So it's actually pretty easy to predict what the population will be in the future. And the numbers don't look good. But if these predictions seem a bit melodramatic to you, I suggest reading a new article from The Atlantic, The Great Depopulation. A world with a shrinking and aging population will offer great opportunities for ministry, but for almost every country on the planet, it will be a culturally wrenching reality. Christina On May 17, an event called ReDedicate 250 brought speakers to the National Mall in Washington. The speakers included Eric Metaxas, Mark Driscoll, Sean Feucht, and Greg Locke – all men we've written about here at MinistsryWatch. Warren That's right. They are a part of what some are now calling the Dissident Christian Right. Christina What does that mean? Warren They are not quite Christian Nationalist, but not mainstream evangelical, either. Most assessments have judged the event as kind of a bust. A few thousand people attended, but DCR pundits had predicted many more. For example, The Christian Post reported that Robert Jeffress predicted the gathering “could be the nation's largest religious gathering in more than 50 years.” It is not clear what the attendance figures for this event forbode for the DCR movement, but the weak attendance was a surprise to me and to many who have been following the movement. Christina And there was a notable passing last week. Warren My friend Bob Woodson died last week at the age of 89. If you do not know about Bob's life and the legacy he leaves behind, I recommend reading John Stonestreet's excellent tribute. It was an honor for me to be a part of the Colson Center team that presented Bob with a Wilberforce Award in 2018. He was sui generis. One of one. I will miss him personally, and our country will miss his leadership. I helped arrange a trip for him to The King's College in 2010 to do a live interview with Marvin Olasky. That interview is worth a listen, and you can find it here. Christina Warren, you've mentioned before, that you are a fan of Carey Nieuwhof's leadership podcast. This week he dropped one of his most personal episodes ever. Warren He recounts how, about 20 years ago, he experienced a period of profound burnout. It is part of a two-part series on how to avoid burning out. I strongly recommend it. You can find the first episode here. Christina Warren, we need to wrap things up here. Any final thoughts before we go? Warren I'll be in Knoxville this week attending an event hosted by my former colleagues and good friends at The Colson Center for Christian Worldview. If you'd like to have lunch with me on Friday, let me hear from you. I'll be doing similar lunches in Denver and Colorado Springs in June. Let me know if you would like to join us. My email is wsmith@ministrywatch.com. Christina That brings to a close this EXTRA episode of the podcast. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm Christina Darnell, along with Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

Ireland has long been recognised as a place where global technology meets local ingenuity. From ambitious start-ups in Dublin and Cork to research-led projects emerging from universities and innovation hubs, the country's technology sector is no longer defined only by multinational investment. Increasingly, it is shaped by entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists and social innovators who want to build tools that solve real problems. The next stage of Ireland's digital journey will not be measured simply by the number of apps launched or platforms scaled. It will be judged by whether technology can become more trustworthy, sustainable and useful in everyday life. Artificial intelligence, cyber security, clean technology, digital health and responsible data governance are now central to that conversation. Artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses operate, how public services are delivered and how people interact with information. Yet the rapid rise of AI has also created urgent questions around transparency, bias, regulation and control. For Ireland, this presents both an opportunity and a responsibility. Irish researchers and founders are well placed to help shape AI systems that are not only powerful, but also accountable. Rather than chasing automation for its own sake, the most valuable AI companies of the coming decade will be those that improve decision-making while keeping humans firmly in the loop. Whether in healthcare diagnostics, legal technology, agriculture, education or financial services, the strongest products will be built on trust. Climate change has made sustainability a business necessity rather than a marketing preference. This is where Ireland's green tech and clean tech communities can play a major role. Smart energy management, circular economy platforms, low-carbon manufacturing, precision agriculture and climate data tools all offer ways to reduce waste while creating commercial value. For small and medium-sized enterprises, sustainability is often a practical challenge. They need affordable tools that help them monitor energy use, manage supply chains, reduce emissions and report progress clearly. Even routine office choices, from cloud infrastructure to printing supplies such as Brother ink cartridges, can become part of a wider conversation about responsible procurement and waste reduction. The companies that succeed will be those that make sustainability easier, measurable and economically sensible. Ireland's technology ecosystem benefits from a rare combination of academic strength, entrepreneurial energy and international connectivity. However, innovation does not happen in isolation. Start-ups need access to funding, mentors, test environments, skilled graduates and early customers. Larger companies need fresh thinking and agility. Public bodies need practical solutions that can scale. Collaboration between these groups will be essential. A medtech founder may need AI expertise from a university lab. A cyber security company may need support from an enterprise agency to reach European markets. A green tech start-up may need pilot partnerships with local councils or established manufacturers. When these connections work well, Ireland can turn good ideas into globally relevant companies. The most exciting future for Irish technology is not purely digital; it is human-centred. The aim should be to create systems that improve health, protect privacy, reduce environmental harm and support better work. That means designing products with accessibility in mind, communicating clearly with users and thinking carefully about unintended consequences. As AI becomes more capable and connected devices become more common, public confidence will matter more than ever. People will not adopt technology simply because it is new. They will adopt it when it is reliable, ethical and genuinely helpful. Ireland's next digital leap will depend on more than technical talent. It will require responsible leaders...

What happens when a human becomes intimately enmeshed with a chatbot? From people who've married their bots or who grieve their loved ones with the help of AI, host Victoria Hetherington (author of The Friend Machine) dives into the stories of the people who have invited these digital avatars into their hearts, minds, and even beds. And asks what do we gain and what do we stand to lose? Our intimacy, our resilience, even our grasp on reality? This latest season of Understood looks at who made the decisions that allowed chatbots to move way beyond digital assistants and into the most intimate parts of our lives.Understood takes you deep inside the seismic shifts reshaping our world right now. From online porn and crypto chaos to the rise of tech oligarchs, deepfake AI, and the broken promises of the internet.More episodes of Understood are available wherever you get your podcasts, and here: https://link.mgln.ai/AIxEBD

Episode Chapter Summaries   Chapter 1: The "Overacting" Trap (00:01 – 02:23)   The episode kicks off with a surprise coaching moment. Lau calls out Anne's high-energy podcast introduction for being too "schmaltzy" and performative. They dissect the difference between an overacted line and a grounded delivery, introducing the idea of "throwing the line away" to find the real truth in the copy.   Chapter 2: The Booth Barrier & Generational Gaps (02:24 – 06:31) Anne and Lau discuss how difficult it is to connect with a human being while staring at unmemorized words inside an isolated booth. They explore a fascinating generational shift: younger talent who are used to digital-first communication (texting, Snapchat) often struggle with the traditional advice to "just talk to someone." Lau shares an anecdote about her team resisting turning on cameras during Zoom meetings, highlighting a modern hesitation with being "fully present" visually.   Chapter 3: The Transparent Script & The "Inside Voice" (06:32 – 10:53) How do you visualize a listener? Anne suggests imagining that the script itself is completely transparent and that your listener is standing right behind it. Lau pitches a counter-intuitive technique: if you can't imagine talking to an outside party, don't. Instead, treat the script as an internal monologue—a voyeuristic, "indoor voice" diary entry where the audience simply overhears your private thoughts.   Chapter 4: The Narration Debate & Physicality (10:54 – 14:43)   Anne and Lau good-naturedly butt heads over long-format narration. While Anne insists that narration requires keeping the listener's needs in mind to shape the melody of the voice, Lau argues that true empathy allows the actor to experience the story's physiology internally. They find common ground in the concept of physicality, agreeing that natural, unforced body movements (like a head tilt or an eyebrow raise) naturally build authentic rhythm.   Chapter 5: Lowering the Stakes & The "Duologue" (14:44 – 21:16) The hosts challenge the classic acting note to "raise the stakes." Artificial high stakes often equal artificial stress. They suggest grounding your performance by lowering the stakes and speaking to the audience as intelligent adults. They also officially ban the word "monologue" in favor of "duologue"—a term that ensures your performance always encompasses another entity and never becomes self-centered.   Chapter 6: The Artemis Connection (21:17 – End) Anne notes that even when addressing a large boardroom or audience, you must always look at and speak to one person at a time to maintain empathy. They close the episode with a beautiful metaphor inspired by the Artemis space mission: even when the spacecraft lost radio communication behind the moon, it never lost connection to the mission. They remind talent to stay universally connected to the core truth of their copy.   Top 10 Boss Takeaways Throw it away: Audiences want to hear you thinking, not performing. Treat key words with a mental shrug rather than over-emphasizing them. Beware the booth barrier: Connection must start before you open your mouth. Assess the mood and the scene before reading. The script is transparent: If you struggle to visualize a listener, imagine looking directly through the words into the eyes of a real person. Embrace the "indoor voice": Many modern commercial scripts are voyeuristic. Let the audience sneak up on your thoughts rather than you shouting out to them. Shift from monologue to duologue: Never look at a script as a solo speech. It is always a dialogue with another entity, even if that entity is your own internal self. Empathy is everything: No matter your technique, you must deeply understand and feel the experience of the copy to prevent a robotic delivery. Let your body react naturally: Don't force artificial gestures, but stay loose enough to let your natural physicality dictate the rhythm and melody of your voice. Lower the stakes: Artificial high energy feels fake. Ground your enthusiasm to connect with your listener like an intelligent peer. Talk to one, not the air: When reading corporate or presentation copy, do not speak to a vague crowd. Compartmentalize the audience and speak directly to one person. Never drop the connection: Most talent only connect on the first two sentences before reverting to "reading mode." Maintain the relationship through the very last word.

The quest for "artificial empathy" is a central theme in AI Valley. Gary Rivlin discusses how "personality engineers" fine-tune bots like Pi to be kind, conversational, and admit ignorance. Unlike IQ-focused models, these bots use flattery and human traits to mimic genuine connection. Rivlin predicts AI will soon serve as emotional companions or affordable therapists for those who cannot pay for human professionals. However, this development creates friction, as Microsoftbuilds its own EQ-heavy rivals to compete with OpenAI's products. Even tools like Anthropic's Claude demonstrate distinct "attitudes," proving that while bots reflect training data, they are increasingly sophisticated human-like assistants. (6/8)1903 LA

Artificial intelligence is often sold as inevitable — a force that will transform our lives for the better. But Karen Hao believes that story is too simple, and too convenient.An author and journalist, she has spent years investigating the people behind the AI boom. In her book Empire of AI, she argues that the technology is not just being built — it's being shaped by a small group of companies driven by competition and a desire for dominance.In this episode, Krishnan delves into whether she is now an activist as she continues to challenge the idea that AI's future is already written. So, who really decides how AI develops — and is it too late to change course?

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming consumer financial services and countless other industries. As AI systems become more autonomous, adaptive, and deeply integrated into commercial decision-making, courts, regulators, and industry participants are increasingly confronting a critical question: when AI causes harm, who should be held responsible? In our latest episode of our award-winning, weekly Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast, our host Alan Kaplinsky (the founder, Chair for 25 years, and now Senior Counsel of our Consumer Financial Services at Ballard Spahr LLP)  had the pleasure of speaking with Mark Geistfeld, the Sheila Lubetsky Birnbaum Professor of Civil Litigation at New York University School of Law and the reporter for the American Law Institute's groundbreaking new project, Principles of the Law, Civil Liability for Artificial Intelligence.  The discussion explored one of the most consequential emerging legal issues in the AI era: how traditional tort law doctrines, including duty, reasonable care, causation, foreseeability, product liability, and allocation of responsibility, should apply to AI systems. Professor Geistfeld explained why the ALI chose to pursue a "principles" project rather than a traditional restatement. Because there is still relatively little AI-specific case law, the project is intended to provide a forward-looking framework that adapts existing tort doctrines to emerging AI technologies. As Mark noted during the discussion, the project seeks to determine "what existing law, properly adapted to this new technology, would require." Their conversation covered a wide range of timely and challenging issues, including: Whether AI systems should be treated as "products" or "services" for purposes of tort liability; How liability may be allocated among foundation model developers, deployers, integrators, and end users; The role of reasonable care obligations in AI development and deployment, including testing, monitoring, and guardrails; The growing importance of transparency and industry best practices; The "black box" problem and the difficulty of proving causation when even developers may not fully understand AI outputs; The tension between fostering innovation and ensuring accountability; and How tort liability and regulatory frameworks can operate together in a complementary manner.   How rapidly advancing AI capabilities, including developments involving autonomous agents and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, are accelerating the urgency of creating coherent legal frameworks. One particularly interesting aspect of the discussion involved Professor Geistfeld's explanation of how AI liability differs from traditional product liability analysis because AI systems evolve, adapt, and operate probabilistically. He emphasized that many of the challenges courts will face resemble issues already encountered in pharmaceutical litigation, toxic torts, and medical malpractice cases involving probabilistic causation. The ALI project remains in development, but preliminary drafts are already beginning to shape legal and academic discussions. Given the pace of AI advancement, courts and policymakers are likely to confront these issues long before a final completed volume is published. This podcast continues our ongoing intensive coverage of artificial intelligence and consumer financial services, including our recent programs discussing the White House AI Action Plan (listen to part 1 here and part 2 here), the White House AI Framework (listen here) and other AI regulatory developments. The episode provides valuable insights for financial institutions, fintech companies, AI developers, compliance professionals, litigators, and anyone interested in the future legal framework governing artificial intelligence.
