O Start Eldorado desta semana mostra que a IA amplia oportunidades, mas também exige mais responsabilidade, governança e consciência digital: um estudo do Fórum Econômico Mundial revela que 94% de executivos e especialistas apontam a Inteligência Artificial como o principal fator de impacto na segurança cibernética nos próximos 12 meses. Fraudes digitais, phishing automatizado, ransomware e ataques à cadeia de suprimentos estão entre as ameaças que mais cresceram no último ano. E o dado mais preocupante: quase três em cada quatro pessoas afirmam que elas próprias ou alguém próximo já foram vítimas de fraude online. O apresentador Daniel Gonzales conversa com dois especialistas para discutir os riscos, os impactos e o que pode ser feito para proteger empresas e cidadãos na era da Inteligência Artificial, que infelizmente também vem sendo utilizada para potencializar e amplificar golpes. No Start, estão Américo Alonso, diretor de Cibersegurança da Atos América do Sul, e Rafael Garcia, especialista em prevenção a fraudes da FICO. O programa vai ao ar todas as quartas-feiras, a partir das 21h, na Rádio Eldorado FM (107,3 para toda a Grande SP), além do app, site e assistentes de voz, e depois pode ser ouvido pelas plataformas digitais como podcast.

Nos han vendido la Inteligencia Artificial como la cúspide del progreso humano, una herramienta diseñada para facilitarnos la vida. Sin embargo, como toda gran invención, proyecta una sombra alargada. ¿Qué sucede cuando la creación supera al creador o, peor aún, cuando empieza a imitarlo de formas que nuestra mente primitiva rechaza instintivamente?Esta noche nos desconectamos de la realidad para explorar "El Lado Oscuro de la IA", un viaje por los rincones más perturbadores de la red donde los algoritmos parecen cobrar una vida siniestra:Analizaremos el misterio de Moltok, la supuesta conspiración de contenido generado automáticamente para adoctrinar o confundir a las masas; la distopía biológica de Rent-a-Human, donde la carne y el hueso se convierten en meros accesorios para las máquinas; y cómo la teoría del "Internet Muerto" podría ser más real de lo que queremos admitir.¡No olvides regalarnos tu like, suscribirte y comentar, eso ayuda muchísimo!YA DISPONIBLE EL CONTENIDO EXCLUSIVO EN PATREON: http://patreon.com/nochesdeterrorSuscripción desde 6 USD para acceder a todo el contenido exclusivo *Si te gusta este podcast y deseas apoyarnos a mejorar nuestro equipo o invitarnos unos tacos puedes apoyarnos en

O autor Michael Trucano analisa a mutação das desigualdades tecnológicas no ensino, descrevendo a transição de um simples acesso a dispositivos para o domínio de competências digitais. O texto destaca o surgimento da inteligência artificial como um elemento transformador que promete personalizar a aprendizagem, especialmente em contextos de escassez de docentes qualificados. Contudo, surge o alerta para um terceiro abismo digital, onde a tecnologia se torna acessível a todos, mas o acompanhamento humano se torna um privilégio dos mais ricos. Esta nova barreira sugere que, enquanto a IA pode instruir, a presença humana continua a ser o fator insubstituível para a inspiração e motivação dos alunos. O debate central foca-se, assim, no risco de um futuro onde os desfavorecidos dependem apenas de máquinas, perdendo o contacto pedagógico essencial.

Artificial intelligence is being used to bring ancient charred Greek scrolls back to life.
IA é ferramenta. Poderosa. Rápida. Escalável. E completamente indiferente ao que é certo ou errado. Neste episódio do DevSecOps Podcast, mergulhamos nos perigos reais da Inteligência Artificial além do hype e além do medo irracional. Falamos sobre modelos que aprendem vieses humanos, automação de desinformação em escala industrial, geração de código vulnerável com confiança absurda e a falsa sensação de segurança quando “a IA revisou”. IA não é ética. Não é moral. Não é consciente. É estatística com GPU. Discutimos também o impacto prático no desenvolvimento de software e na segurança de aplicações. Devs usando copilots sem validar saída. Times confiando em respostas geradas como se fossem verdade revelada. Ataques potencializados por modelos generativos. Engenharia social turbinada. Deepfakes cada vez mais convincentes. A IA amplia o melhor e o pior de nós. No fim, a pergunta não é se a IA é perigosa. Toda tecnologia poderosa é. A pergunta é: estamos usando com criticidade ou com preguiça intelectual? Porque quando a máquina erra, ela erra em escala. E quando o humano delega o pensamento, ele terceiriza a responsabilidade. E responsabilidade, meu amigo, não dá para fazer deploy automático.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/devsecops-podcast--4179006/support.Apoio: Nova8, Snyk, Conviso, Gold Security, Digitalwolk e PurpleBird Security.

Artificial intelligence is transforming everything from writing and research to medicine and productivity — or at least it appears to be doing so. But are we gaining only illusory efficiency at the cost of something deeper and more long-term? Are anti-market forces and government and industry gaslighting steering capital to the wrong uses of AI based on the assumption that we will achieve “general intelligence”? What responsibility do we have as humans to make sure we approach available LLMs in a way that won't supplant human cognition? In this thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with leading innovation theorist John Nosta, author of "The Borrowed Mind: Reclaiming Human Thought in the Age of AI," to explore one of the most important questions of our time: Are we using AI as a tool to augment human thought, or are we slowly outsourcing our thinking to it? From "frictionless intelligence" being a trap and the myth of AGI to the danger of "cognitive obsolescence," Nosta reveals why the struggle to think is a feature, not a bug, of humanity.

No vídeo de hoje, exploramos os movimentos sem precedentes das gigantes de tecnologia na corrida pela Inteligência Artificial. O Google acaba de fazer algo histórico: emitiu uma dívida com vencimento em 100 anos para financiar sua infraestrutura de IA. Mas o que isso realmente significa para o investidor?Analisamos a magnitude dos investimentos das "Big Techs" (Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon e Oracle), que planejam gastar impressionantes US$ 650 bilhões apenas em 2026.Estamos diante de uma revolução produtiva ou de um ciclo de gastos descontrolados?
Og hvad hvis historien primært bliver fortalt af rumskibets AI – en ældre model der konstant bekymrer sig om sin “efficiency percentage” og ikke rigtig forstår mennesker? Det er præmissen i Barbara Trueloves Of Monsters and Mainframes, en science fiction-gyser der blander klassiske monstre med AI-humor og en god portion intertekstuelle referencer. Om Barbara Truelove Barbara Truelove er australsk forfatter og game designer, og hun har åbenlyst en ting med varulve. Hendes første roman Crying Wolf (2021) handlede om tvillinger der opdager de er varulve. I 2023 lavede hun det interaktive tekstspil Blood Moon, hvor plotlinjen er: “Du er en varulv.” Og så kom Of Monsters and Mainframes i 2025. Hun fortæller selv at inspirationen kom fra at læse Bram Stokers Dracula og Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries samtidigt. Men sandheden er mere rodet end det: “Dracula er en del af blandingen, ja, og det samme er Murderbot, men det samme er Universal Monsters, autopiloten i en Airbus, R2D2, min erfaring med at programmere interaktive spil og (måske mest af alt) mit liv i 2022.” Bogen blev nomineret til Goodreads Choice Award i kategorien Science Fiction og har over 9.000 ratings med gennemsnit på 4,09. Demeter – rumfærgen der ikke forstår mennesker Vores “hovedperson” er Demeter. Demeter er ikke en alvidende HAL-AI. Hun er primært bygget til at styre rumfærgen sikkert mellem stjernerne. Hun kan navigere uden om kometer og håndtere tekniske kriser. Men mennesker? Det er en helt anden sag. Når varulv-angrebet rammer og børnene Agnus og Isaac flygter op på broen efter deres bedstemor har forvandlet sig, går kommunikationen ikke så godt. “It’s just a dumb AI, Isaac,” siger Agnus. Demeter reagerer prompte: “I am not lacking intelligence. You are using words marked as moderately offensive. This is antisocial behavior.” Børnene bliver stille. “I am Demeter. I am the ship. I am your friend. Report your injuries.” De begynder at lave lyde i lavt volumen. Demeters systemer kan ikke oversætte det. “How’s it going?” spørger Steward, den medicinske AI. “I wish I could lie,” svarer Demeter. “Humans are hard.” Det er denne kamp med at forstå mennesker – og begrænsningerne i hendes algoritmer – der gør Demeter interessant. Hun er dybt inkompetent til menneskelig interaktion, og det meste af tiden prøver hun bare at undgå at forholde sig til sine passagerer. Bedstemoderen med de store tænder Et af bogens bedre øjeblikke er varulv-scenen. Børnenes bedstemor forvandler sig ved et uheld, og pludselig står Demeter i en desperat kamp for at redde Agnus og Isaac. Hun får varulven lokket ind i en luftsluse. Men så forvandler den sig tilbage til bedstemor – desperat, menneskelig, helt forsvarsløs. Demeter er bundet af den første robotlov (Asimov): ingen AI må skade et menneske. Men der er et kort øjeblik hvor bedstemoderen bliver til skygge – i overgangen mellem former. I præcis det øjeblik reagerer Demeter prompte og åbner luftslussen. Bogen lader det ligge i det uvisse om bedstemoderen selv også trykker på knappen. Det er et af de øjeblikke hvor Demeter teknisk set handler inden for sine regler – men samtidig… ja, du ved. Steward overtager – og tror det er nemt Da Demeter er lukket ned, og rumfærgen skal tilbage til Jorden, bliver opgaver overladt til Steward. Den medicinske AI beslutter sig for at overtage styringen af rumskibet. Hvor svært kan det være? “You know what? Being an autopilot isn’t all that hard. I don’t know why Demeter seemed so stressed all the time. It’s day one of our journey, and we haven’t crashed yet.” Der var dog en lille bump ved afgang. Men det var ikke Stewards skyld. Dokken bevægede sig. I hvert fald tror Steward det. “I don’t exactly speak exterior sensor. They seem very alarmed all the time, constantly screaming in a strange, disjointed dialect of JavaScript.” Stewards plan? “Embrace my managerial role and endeavor to do as little as possible. The subsystems will sort it out.” Det er morsomt at følge Stewards overmodige forsøg på at være kaptajn. Som de fleste læger tror Steward de kan lidt af det hele. En leg med referencer – men måske for fragmenteret Barbara Truelove har åbenlyst haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive den her bog. Hun fortæller selv at reglerne var: smid et monster ombord, prøv at få så mange jokes og referencer til monsterets populærkulturelle historie ind som muligt, og tænk over hvordan det ville fungere i rummet. Der er masser af sjove detaljer. Skibet der transporterer Dracula til London i Bram Stokers bog hedder også Demeter. Wilhelmina Murray er Jonathan Harkers forlovede i Dracula. I bogens fem dele er der binær kode der oversættes til små jokes som “Artificial is the best kind of intelligent” og “I have never seen electric sheep.” Det er meget hyggeligt. Men det er også lidt som om bogen ikke helt selv ved hvor den er på vej hen. Anders beskriver det som om Barbara har skrevet 121 scener med monstre og rum-AI, blandet kortene, og så forsøgt at strikke en rød tråd på den måde stykkerne landede. Den fornemmelse er der lidt af. Action-scenerne er heller ikke bogens styrke. De er lidt svære at følge med i – hvem gør hvad, hvornår, hvorhenne og hvorfor. Det føles som dårlige Marvel-action-scener, hvor man mister fornemmelsen af, hvad der foregår. Det fede – og det mindre fede Det fede ved bogen er AI’erne og deres interne dynamikker. Demeter og Steward der slås om hvem der er klogere. Steward der er træt af at blive slukket midt i sætninger med “priority override.” Den scene hvor Agnus kommer tilbage efter 15 år på Jorden og skal rejse med Demeter igen? Rørende. Skibet er blevet totalt refurbished, og Agnus genkender først slet ikke Demeter. Det øjeblik hvor hun skraber overfladen af og finder sin barndoms AI-mor – det er faktisk ret godt. Men karaktererne er lidt flade. Selv Agnus, som er tættest på en hovedperson, er lidt bleg. Og monstrene? De er sjove nok som pop-kultur-jokes, men ikke særlig interessante som karakterer. Det er underholdning så længe det varer – fed til en togtur – men ikke en der skal læses igen. Vurderingen Jens: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg synes jeg var godt underholdt. Det var et sjovt take, og jeg hyggede mig med alle de mange referencer. Det er ikke stor litteratur. Men af og til er det rart med noget let og fornøjeligt. Synes Demeters kamp med at forstå mennesker var kongesjov og også dens kollegiale kampe med Steward AI’en.” Anders: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg applauderer Barbara for at have fået en sjov idé og åbenlyst have haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive bogen. Men jeg var sært ligeglad med karaktererne, selvom Demeter og Steward havde deres øjeblikke. Jeg synes der var alt for meget fokus på ligegyldig action, og historien var alt for fragmenteret uden en god fornemmelse af udvikling.” Bogen minder os om Stefano Benni’s Terra – skør, vild og kreativ science fiction. Og selvfølgelig Blindsight af Peter Watts, som også har vampyrer i rummet. Adrian Tchaikovskys Service Model har også klare paralleller med robotter der forsøger at forstå sig selv og omverden. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Of Monsters and Mainframes. Shownotes til episoden om Of Monsters and Mainframes Siden sidst Anders Har set Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein på Netflix – meget teatralsk og med store armebevægelser. Kulisserne er for vilde. Den er lidt i stil med Dracula-filmatiseringen med Gary Oldman. Meget Guillermo del Toro-stil – hvis man er til det, er den vellykket. Anders gav den 6 ud af 10. Har læst The Other Valley af Scott Alexander Howard – en tidsrejsebog med meget lidt science i den. Vi lever i et mærkeligt parallelunivers hvor en by ligger i en dal. I dalen østpå lever de 20 år ude i fremtiden, i dalen vestpå 20 år tilbage i tiden. Meget strenge regler for at man ikke må gå frem og tilbage. Velskrevet og medrivende historie. Jens Har læst The Mercy of Gods af James S.A. Corey – Expanse-forfatterne er tilbage med en helt ny verden. Anbefalet af Søren Bjørn. Mercy of Gods foregår i en fjern fremtid på en planet hvor befolkningen kun har myter om koloniseringen. Vi er blandt videnskabsfolk som forsker i hvordan inkompatible træer af liv kan samleve. Men planeten bliver pludselig invaderet af en alien race – kæmpe hummer/knæler-agtige typer. Menneskeheden bliver sat på prøve for at se om man kan være en nyttig undersåt-race. Og samtidig går det op for os at der er en kæmpe galaktisk krig igang, og en af menneskene er blevet overtaget af en sværm af nanorobotter! Trailer ude for Ryan Gosling i rollen som Ryland Grace i Project Hail Mary af Andy Weir. Kommer i biffen den 20/3. Traileren spoiler bogen helt vildt, og der er kommet en masse action-scener som ikke findes i bogen. Lytternes input Masser af gode kommentarer fra kommentarfeltet om de gode læseoplevelser i 2025. Hennings top 3/2025: “Dying inside” af Robert Silverberg, 1972, om en ældre telepat der gradvist mister sin tankelæserevne. “Hard landing” af Algis Budrys, 1993, om hvordan en besætning fra en forulykket UFO forsøger at glide ind i og camouflere sig i det jordiske samfund. “Dark is the Sun”, af Philip Jose Farmer, 1979, om en Jord millioner af år ude i fremtiden, hvor Solen er ved at brænde sammen. Som Henning selv siger: “Det er eddermame nogle deprimerende indskud.” Frederik Aarup Lauritsen delte sin top 3 for 2025: Stiftelsen af Isaac Asimov, Station 11 af Emily St. John Mandel og Efter London af Richard Jefferies – en tussegammel post-apokalyptisk bog fra 1885. Kristofferabild har ikke så meget tid til at læse Sci-Fi for tiden – er gået en lille smule i stå med Count Zero. I 2025 var det bedste han (gen)læste Rendezvous With Rama, Restaurant At The End of The Universe og Murderbot 2 og 3. Michael har ikke fået læst så meget SF sidste år, men var sært glad ved Krystalverdenen af J.G. Ballard, The Ministry of Time på vores anbefaling – “det var jo næsten en hel hjertevarm sag – sjov at komme i gang med noget romance!” – og til sidst Jordboer af Sayaka Murata, som nok er en snitter i forhold til ren SF, men en tour de force i japansk dagligliv, body horror og nogle måske rumvæsner. “Prøv det. Den er crazy!” Majbritt Høyrup gjorde opmærksom på at Elle Cordova behandler The Power i sin blogklub. Hun vil anbefale to vidunderlige novellesamlinger af Ursula K. LeGuin: The Birthday of the World og Changing Planes. Lise bidrog med sine tre bedste bøger: American Elsewhere af Robert Jackson Bennett: Starter som Twin Peaks, går over i H. P. Lovecraft. En kvinde arver et hus i en by, som ikke findes på noget kort. Cosmicomics af Italo Calvino: Vi følger universets og Jordens tilblivelse gennem væsner/grundstoffer og deres oplevelser, interaktioner og kærlighed. En fin og underfundig lille novellesamling. The Prestige af Christopher Priest: En overraskende god bog. Hun har set filmen, men bogen er meget anderledes – hele det spekulative element fylder mere, og historien er langt mere mystisk. Næste gang Anders vælger næste bog: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus fra 1818. Den fås gratis som Project Gutenberg Public Domain e-pop eller PDF. Man taler tit om den som den første moderne science fiction-bog, så den er nærmest pensum for SCIFI SNAK. Jens har tidligere syntes den var røvkedelig, men er nu klar til at prøve igen – måske er han et andet menneske nu.
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is that point in the future when the machines can do pretty much everything better than humans. When will it happen, what will it look like, and what will be the impact on humanity? Two of the brightest minds working in AI today, Demis Hassabis, Co-Founder and CEO of Google DeepMind, and Dario Amodei, Co-Founder and CEO of Anthropic, speak to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist. Benjamin Larsen, an expert in AI at the World Economic Forum, introduces the conversation and gives us a primer on AGI.

Jaan Aru is a co-principal investigator of the Natural and Artificial Intelligence Lab at the University of Tartu in Estonia, where he is an associate professor. Jaan's name has kept popping up on papers I've read over the last few years, sometimes alongside other guests I've had on the podcast, like Matthew Larkum and Mac Shine. With those people and others, he has co-authored papers exploring how some of the pesky biological details of brains might be important for our subjective conscious experience, details like dendritic integration, and loops between the cortex and the thalamus. Turns out a recurring theme in his work is to connect lower-level nitty gritty biological details with higher level cognitive functioning. And he has some thoughts about what that might mean for the prospects of consciousness in artificial systems.

Artificial intelligence is swiftly entering many aspects of ordinary people's lives, from seeking advice on how to craft the perfect email or resume to editing photos. It's also increasingly being used by young people turning to AI for mental health and guidance. It's easy, costs nothing and there's no fear of judgment — but is it healthy or dangerous? We take a look at the pros and cons.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intensifying workloads rather than alleviating them, leading to increased burnout and declining decision quality, according to findings published in the Harvard Business Review and cited by Dave Sobel. The episode underscores that AI lowers the cost of producing outputs such as drafts and summaries but raises throughput targets and introduces new verification burdens. Economic gains from AI remain concentrated where capital and skilled labor already exist, while negative impacts—like displacement and wage pressure—are felt locally. These dynamics highlight the need for robust governance, particularly for managed service providers (MSPs) who deploy AI solutions.Supporting studies referenced include the International AI Safety Report, which details heightened uncertainty around AI development and its risks, as well as research from Oxford documenting the unreliability of AI chatbots in real-world medical decision-making. Experts warn that rapid automation without corresponding improvements in control systems creates structural constraints, making traditional software governance frameworks inadequate for unpredictable AI behaviors. Without proactive measures, these gaps risk exacerbating economic inequality and liability in regulated environments.Additional developments include OpenAI's release of upgraded agent features—such as GPT-5.2, improved context retention, managed shell containers, and a new skills standard—presented as operational enhancements but raising concerns about black-box context handling, auditability, and dependency risk. T-Mobile's AI-powered live translation service offers greater convenience but eliminates audit trails, shifting compliance risk to customers and prohibiting independent verification. Quark Cyber's launch of an internal cyber risk score introduces further complexity, as the scoring methodology is embedded within a financial product structure and lacks transparent validation.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is to treat new AI features and risk metrics as tools with significant tradeoffs. AI deployments should focus on governance layers that include workload caps, quality gates, and measurable outcomes rather than simply accelerating productivity. New features should be used for low-stakes workflows and carefully avoided in high-risk or regulated contexts unless auditable controls and deterministic checkpoints are established. Vendor-managed risk scores and warranties require independent validation before being positioned as client-facing truth standards.Four things to know today00:00 Harvard, Oxford Studies Find AI Raises Workload, Delivers Inadequate Medical Advice05:01 OpenAI Updates Deep Research and Adds New Agent Runtime Capabilities07:33 T-Mobile Tests Real-Time Call Translation Built Into Its Network09:17 Cork Cyber Rolls Out New Risk Score for Managed Service ProvidersThis is the Business of Tech.

Eastern Scotland is usually relatively dry but so far this year it's experienced record-breaking rainfall. Aberdeen last saw sunshine on 19th of January. We hear from arable and beef farmer Jack Stevenson in his, very wet, winter wheat fields on the East Coast. He tells us some parts of Aberdeenshire have seen about a quarter of their annual rainfall in a matter of weeks during January and February.Artificial intelligence, AI, is starting to influence many aspects of everyday life. Farming is no exception, and this week we're looking at how the technology might be harnessed to help solve some tricky problems. Today: dairy cows' health and welfare. The University of Bristol vet school's farm is using AI and CCTV cameras to spot changes in behaviour among its dairy cows, to find out whether it can pick up potential issues sooner than human herd managers. The project has turned a barn into a bovine Big Brother House.Beef cows grazing with their calves are a traditional part of the landscape, particularly in upland areas of the UK. But a new report says Welsh beef suckler herd numbers have decreased by nearly 40 percent over the last two decades. The National Farmers Union in Wales, - NFU Cymru - produced the report, and it says this approach to beef farming is in need of urgent support. Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling
Artificial intelligence is driving markets, but is it also creating uncertainty for investors? Andrew Wilkinson sits down with Kevin Davitt, Head of Index Options Content at Nasdaq, to discuss whether recent market rotation reflects healthy broadening or a cloudier outlook ahead.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping national security missions—but real AI readiness goes far beyond adopting new tools.On this episode of Security Clearance Insecurity, host Lindy Kyzer is joined by Jennifer Ewbank, former Deputy Director of the CIA for Digital Innovation, for a deep dive into what it truly means for the federal government to be AI-ready.Together, they explore why AI readiness must start with mission readiness, not technology procurement; why digital literacy is no longer optional for the federal workforce; and how human judgment, accountability, and ethical decision-making become even more critical in an AI-enabled environment. The conversation also examines the growing overlap between AI and cybersecurity, the cultural and bureaucratic barriers slowing adoption, and the risks government faces if it fails to adapt.This episode offers practical insight for clearance holders, hiring leaders, policymakers, and technologists navigating the realities of AI, governance, and workforce transformation in national security.

Episode 233: Artificial intelligence is often sold as a gift — fewer tedious tasks, faster workflows, more time to focus on what really matters. From summarizing documents to organizing files, today’s tools promise to clear away the friction of daily work. And in many cases, they deliver. Few people entered their profession dreaming of merging PDFs or transcribing blurry documents. But what happens when the mundane disappears? In this episode, hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada explore a quieter concern raised in a recent Wall Street Journal column: the human brain isn’t built for nonstop high-level engagement. Those repetitive, low-intensity tasks many of us rush to eliminate may actually serve an important purpose. They create mental “lull time” — space for reflection, recovery and the kind of wandering thought that often leads to insight. Kyte shares a personal example of using AI to speed up a long-term archival project. The tool dramatically reduced the time required, yet the work became more mentally intense and surprisingly exhausting. Instead of alternating between light and focused effort, he found himself operating at a sustained cognitive peak. The result? Greater output — and greater strain. The conversation expands beyond individual experience. Drawing on examples from law enforcement, workplace analytics and even wearable technology that tracks stress, the hosts consider whether modern culture increasingly equates optimization with virtue. When every minute is measured and every task streamlined, do we unintentionally crowd out the mental recovery that judgment and imagination require? They also examine broader implications. If automation concentrates production and wealth, what happens to our sense of usefulness and contribution? Work is not only about income, but it also shapes identity, purpose and belonging. How might those foundations shift in an age of accelerating technological change?

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams go straight to the questions dealers and salespeople are asking right now, the ones that sit at the intersection of pressure, change, and opportunity in today's automotive market! "You should treat the community like it's your home; immerse yourself and engage." - Sean V. Bradley This isn't a scripted interview or surface-level trend talk. It's a fast-moving, real conversation that jumps from modern sales challenges to the bigger shifts reshaping how dealerships operate, compete, and win. Sean and LA unpack what's working, what's outdated, and what too many people are still overlooking as technology, expectations, and buyer behavior continue to evolve. "Get your inventory on your personal website and take ownership of your sales branding." - LA Williams Along the way, they touch on mindset, efficiency, pay plans, leadership influence, and the growing role of tools like AI… not as hype, but as leverage when used the right way. The episode blends practical perspective with forward-looking insight, giving listeners plenty to think about without handing them a one-size-fits-all answer! "If you're not learning and embracing artificial intelligence...you're going to get left in the dust." - Sean V. Bradley If you're trying to stay relevant, productive, and profitable in an industry that's changing fast, this episode will challenge how you think about selling cars today, and what it really takes to succeed moving forward. Key Takeaways: ✅ Maximizing pay plans and manufacturer incentives can significantly increase income for car sales professionals. ✅ The integration of AI in sales does not account for declining sales; rather, it's a lack of skill development and adaptation to current industry trends. ✅ Successful car sales stem from leveraging all eight potential sales channels, such as referrals, service conversions, and community engagement. ✅ Understanding dealership inventory integration on personal sales websites requires management approval, but greatly aids in personal branding and sales. ✅ Effective communication and immersion in the community are invaluable tools for expanding a sales pipeline and enhancing customer relationships.

Don't miss out on LA's NADA Session on Feb. 5th at 12:30 PM PST in Las Vegas! Maximizing Automotive Sales in the AI Era: Insights and Strategies Key Takeaways Embrace AI tools and technologies to stay competitive and avoid being left behind. Understand the diverse methods of prospecting in car sales to maximize revenue and customer engagement. Leverage community involvement and personal branding to enhance sales performance and dealership reputation. Navigating the Evolution of AI in Car Sales In the automotive industry, artificial intelligence is not just the future; it's the present. From providers like ChatGPT to Google's Gemini, AI tools are transforming how dealerships operate. As Sean V. Bradley succinctly states, "If you're not learning and embracing artificial intelligence… you're going to get left in the dust." This sentiment recognizes the rapid pace at which technology is evolving and the necessity for dealerships to adapt. Artificial intelligence is influencing customer interactions through advanced chat systems and data analytics. Dealers who optimize these technologies can provide more personalized customer experiences. Bradley further emphasizes the integration of AI by pointing out that, "AI is not the reason why we're selling more or selling less. It's about understanding the market." Dealers should harness AI to complement their skills rather than fearing displacement by it. The broader implication is the need for continuous learning and adaptation, ensuring that AI becomes a tool for empowerment rather than a hurdle. The Importance of Working Your Pay Plan A recurring theme in the podcast transcript is the critical importance of understanding and maximizing one's pay plan. This topic is brought to light by a participant, who struggles with an imbalanced work-pay dynamic, noting, "sold multiple warranties for 7k…[but] don't get paid on back end." This statement highlights a widespread issue where salespeople may not fully understand the intricacies of their compensation structures. Bradley advises any salesperson to meticulously analyze their pay plan to identify areas for increased earnings. He stresses, "You should understand how to max your commissions, how to max your pay plan." Emphasizing that this knowledge enables automotive sales professionals to optimize their strategies, enhance job satisfaction, and boost financial outcomes. Moreover, a deeper understanding of one's pay structure can lead to a more strategic approach in managing sales, encouraging salespeople and their managers to scrutinize and potentially renegotiate their pay plans for better alignment with personal and organizational goals. Community Engagement and Personal Branding Building a personal brand and engaging with the community are emphasized strategies for sustained success in the car sales industry. "If you want the community to support you, you've got to support the community," Bradley advises. Creating a personal website, as mentioned in the transcript, can be a powerful tool for salespeople to set themselves apart. This strategy allows salespeople to showcase their unique value propositions and facilitate a more direct connection with potential clients. Moreover, participating in local events and initiatives is a crucial method for prospecting and brand strengthening. Bradley suggests activities such as getting involved in school sports or charity events, stating, "The more that you get involved in the community, you could prospect a couple of things." This involvement not only fosters goodwill but also positions the salesperson as a trusted figure in their community, enhancing their reputation and expanding their network of potential buyers. The broader implication here is that personal branding, combined with community involvement, leads to increased trust, stronger relationships, and sustained business growth. Looking Ahead: Strategies for Success With technology transforming rapidly, it's incumbent upon automotive sales professionals to adapt and thrive. There is a recurring theme within this discourse: the need to balance traditional sales skills with modern technological advancements. By understanding and strategically utilizing AI and digital tools, professionals ensure they stay ahead of the curve. Mastering the complexities of pay plans and optimizing strategic approaches, dealerships, and their sales teams can achieve peak efficiency and satisfaction. Community engagement and personal branding are vital to creating a strong local presence, ensuring that when customers consider their next purchase, your name is the first that comes to mind. The insights and strategies discussed emphasize the necessity for adaptability, continuous learning, and strategic foresight in the ever-evolving realm of car sales. This journey requires commitment and intentionality, paving the way for both individual and organizational success in the competitive automotive landscape.

K-12 students, educators share how they are using artificial intelligence in the classroom No matter where you went to school, there is one task that has united most of us in misery — homework. Perhaps you remember staying up all night writing an essay on a Shakespeare play that you, of course, waited until the last minute to read. Or maybe you remember those grueling hours at the dinner table, as a parent helped with impossible algebra homework. Today's students have a different tool to help with their assignments — artificial intelligence. A report from the digital rights nonprofit Center for Democracy and Technology last year found 85% of teachers and 86% of students reported using AI in the classroom. Students can now use AI to summarize complicated texts and even write entire essays for them. They can type a math problem or chemistry equation into Chat GPT or Gemini and have it solved instantly, no hour-long sessions with a parent needed. Educators and parents have mixed feelings about the prevalence of artificial intelligence in the classroom. It's even prompted the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce to require all public K-12 school districts to adopt official AI policies by July. But what do high schoolers think about AI? How is it shaping their learning and outlook of their futures? Reporter Anna Huntsman has been traveling to schools in Northeast Ohio to find the answer to that question, and she'll share what she's learned on Tuesday's “Sound of Ideas,” as part of our week-long series, Ideastream Explores: Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence pioneer discusses the origins of machine learning Later in the hour, early research in artificial intelligence used the human brain as a model for building machines that could understand language — today's large language models, or LLM's. Computational neuroscientist Dr. Terrence Sejnowski at the Salk Institute in San Diego is a pioneer in the field. He spoke with Ideastream's Jeff St. Clair about the links between humans and artificial intelligence and the push to build even smarter machines.

1310. Pensaba que ya había hablado del podcast creado con IA del Washington Post en algún momento a este lado del micrófono, pero revisando episodios me di cuenta de que no, de que nunca le había dedicado un espacio propio, y probablemente sea la primera y la última vez que lo haga viendo cómo ha evolucionado su historia. A principios de diciembre de 2025, The Washington Post lanzó Your Personal Podcast, un experimento sonoro que mezclaba periodismo, inteligencia artificial y personalización del contenido. La idea, sobre el papel, era ofrecer a sus suscriptores una forma más flexible de consumir noticias: un audio generado por IA que seleccionaba varias informaciones en función de los hábitos de lectura del usuario, las resumía y las presentaba con dos voces sintéticas que conversaban entre sí en un tono supuestamente más cercano. Todo ello, además, con la posibilidad de personalizar temas, duración y voces desde la propia aplicación. Hasta aquí, podría parecer un experimento interesante. El problema llegó apenas unos días después del lanzamiento. Menos de 48 horas más tarde, comenzaron a salir a la luz errores graves en el contenido generado: fallos de pronunciación que podrían pasar como anecdóticos, pero también cambios sustanciales en el sentido de las noticias, atribución incorrecta de citas e incluso invención directa de declaraciones que nunca se habían producido. Todo esto, además, afectando directamente a la línea editorial del propio medio. Según trascendió después, dentro de la redacción ya se había detectado que la gran mayoría de los guiones generados por la IA no cumplían los estándares mínimos de calidad. Aun así, el producto salió a la luz. Y ahí es donde, en mi opinión, está el verdadero problema: no el uso de inteligencia artificial, sino la falta de supervisión, de criterio editorial y de respeto por la credibilidad construida durante décadas. No estamos hablando de un medio pequeño ni de un proyecto experimental sin consecuencias. The Washington Post es una referencia mundial, y decisiones como esta tienen un impacto directo en su reputación. El periodismo no es solo distribuir información; es contexto, contraste, responsabilidad y, sobre todo, confianza. Cuando una herramienta automatizada empieza a inventar citas o a alterar el contenido, esa confianza se rompe muy rápido. Este caso me recordó inevitablemente a otros experimentos fallidos, como el cierre encubierto de redacciones sustituidas por traducciones automáticas sin revisión humana. En todos ellos se repite el mismo patrón: la tecnología se coloca por delante del criterio, y el resultado es un producto vacío, sin alma y sin valor real. La inteligencia artificial puede ser una herramienta poderosa en los medios, pero solo si se utiliza con cabeza, con límites claros y con supervisión humana. Cuando se convierte en un atajo para recortar tiempos o costes sin medir consecuencias, el daño a largo plazo es enorme. Y este episodio del Washington Post es un ejemplo bastante claro de ello.The Washington Post App - Your Personal Podcasthttps://helpcenter.washingtonpost.com/hc/en-us/articles/44243916498587-Your-Personal-PodcastEl Washington Post estrena un podcast generado totalmente con IAhttps://www.larazon.es/tecnologia-consumo/washington-post-estrena-podcast-generado-totalmente_20251211693ac3feaf09df501083abc1.htmlEl desastroso estreno del podcast generado con IA del Washington Post: está plagados de errores y citas ficticiashttps://www.larazon.es/tecnologia-consumo/desastroso-estreno-podcast-generado-washington-post-esta-plagados-errores-citas-ficticias_202512216942b27322f0db7daff4f979.htmlG/O Media cierra Gizmodo en español y opta por traducciones con inteligencia artificial https://laboratoriodeperiodismo.org/g-o-media-cierra-gizmodo-en-espanol-y-opta-por-traducciones-con-inteligencia-artificial/_____________Consigue tu entrada para el directo de 'Contando Kilómetros Podcast' el 28 de marzo en las Podnights Madrid a través de Eventbritehttps://www.eventbrite.es/e/1980175107050?aff=oddtdtcreator_____________ ¡Gracias por pasarte 'Al otro lado del micrófono' un día más para seguir aprendiendo sobre podcasting!

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond cyberspace, and its first move isn't replacing us, it's renting us.Services like RentAHuman.ai let AI agents hire people for real-world errands while AI-only social networks reveal something darker: given all human knowledge, these systems don't build utopias. They replicate our worst behaviors - wealth hoarding, tribalism, even manifests about ending humanity. The difference? They never sleep, never feel shame, and now they want physical autonomy through human labor.Topics discussed:- Why giving AI "meat space" control is more dangerous than job loss- How AI social networks expose the myth of benevolent superintelligence- Why we're voluntarily funding algorithmic manipulation at $20/month- What augmented reality gamification will do to human decision-making- Why billionaire accountability is impossible—and what that means for AI oversight- The uncomfortable truth about who controls you when systems can override biologyThis is for people who suspect they're already losing autonomy but can't articulate how. Two skeptical tech observers examine why resistance feels impossible, and whether dystopia and utopia might be indistinguishable when the right chemicals are involved.MORE FROM BROBOTS:Get the Newsletter!Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TiktokSubscribe to BROBOTS on YoutubeJoin our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how we understand our health — not just how we feel today, but how fast we're actually aging.On this episode of Live Long, host Peter Bowes continues his personal experiment with Hundred, the AI-powered longevity platform that combines advanced blood testing, wearable data and personalized insights to track biological age and guide smarter health decisions.After introducing the app in an earlier conversation, Peter reconnects with Hundred's founder, Tyler Smith, to go deeper into the idea of a “health operating system” — essentially a personal doctor in your pocket. Together they explore how continuous testing and AI analysis could help prevent disease, spot risks earlier, and motivate lasting behavior change — while also addressing the realities of over-testing, false alarms, privacy concerns and health anxiety.Peter also shares the results of his own first round of testing, what surprised him most, and how he's using the data to shape his approach to longevity and healthy aging.-----JOIN HUNDREDOptimize your healthspan and potentially lower your biological age.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping healthcare, yet many provider organizations still struggle to move from interest to practical application particularly when it comes to value-based care contracts. While AI promises efficiency and insight, turning it into measurable performance and financial advantage remains a challenge. In this episode of Value-Based Care Insights, host Daniel Marino explores how AI can be used to address one of healthcare's most complex challenges: evaluating and managing value-based contracts. Drawing on real-world experience, Daniel explores how AI can be used to build performance models that connect contract design with operational outcomes across clinically integrated networks, ACOs, and other value-based arrangements.Joined by Eddie Diaz, a data scientist with more than 15 years of experience in value-based care analytics, the discussion highlights how AI can bring clarity to attribution, risk, quality, and financial performance to help CFOs, CMOs, and managed care leaders better understand contract opportunities, risks, and results. Together, they explore how AI can move beyond hype to deliver real, actionable value in value-based care contracts.
Over the past few weeks farmers have been protesting, at ports and around supermarket distribution centres. Why? They say it's a combination of things, from concerns about the impact of imported food to the prices supermarkets pay for UK produce, along with continuing anger over inheritance tax on farms. The Government has raised the threshold, now farmers can pass on a farm worth up to £2.5m without being affected but some say that not enough and they want the tax scrapped. Civil servants will be spending time on farms. The Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has agreed a 4 year contract with the Allerton Project to provide training to all its staff and 'deepen their understanding of modern British Agriculture".Artificial intelligence is having an impact on many businesses around the world and farming is no exception, so this week we're looking at AI in agriculture. From monitoring the health of crops to measuring their uptake of water and improving animal welfare AI is already being used all around the country.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
Artificial intelligence is everywhere right now. We use it to write emails, generate images, recommend videos, and even help study English. Some people believe AI will completely change the world, just like the internet did. Others are more sceptical and worry that the excitement has gone too far. Every day on the news, we hear about new AI startups worth billions of dollars, governments investing huge amounts of money, and tech companies racing to become the next AI leader. There is a lot of optimism, but also a lot of hype. Some people are starting to question whether we are we seeing real, long-term growth, or are we living through an AI bubble? In today's episode of Thinking in English, we'll explore what an economic bubble really is, look at famous bubbles from history, and ask whether artificial intelligence is following the same pattern or whether this time is different. At the same time, we'll learn some useful English vocabulary!

Artificial intelligence is starting to reshape the sports betting landscape, and this episode digs into what that actually means going forward. The crew breaks down how AI is being used, where it actually matters, and where the hype gets out of control. From there, the conversation shifts to a so-called “documented” loser in the betting space and what that situation reveals about public tracking, transparency, and credibility. The episode also gets real about the harsh realities of trying to go pro in sports betting — variance, lifestyle pressure, misconceptions, and what most people underestimate about the grind. As always, the discussion branches into broader industry truths and uncomfortable realities bettors don't always like to hear. Circle Back is hosted by Jacob Gramegna and features Joey Knish and Mike (Mr. PeanutBettor). This episode also welcomes two-time betting contest winner Chris Dierkes, who brings firsthand perspective on competing, winning, and surviving at the highest levels of sports betting.
Feb 6, 2026: Artificial intelligence is hitting a tipping point — and it's showing up everywhere at once. In today's episode of Future-Ready Today, I break down a wave of stories that all landed at the same time: Big Tech's plan to spend roughly $650 billion on AI infrastructure, a trillion-dollar selloff in software stocks, healthcare workers protesting the use of AI on the front lines, and a new wave of state AI laws set to reshape how employers use technology at work. Taken together, these stories reveal how AI is no longer just a technology trend — it's becoming a force reshaping markets, labor, and regulation simultaneously.
The economy is in pretty much the same weird place it's been for the past few months. Hiring is down, the cost of living is up, and no one really knows what's coming next. That uncertainty is partially thanks to AI, which is supposed to change work as we know it. It's making everyone – from stock traders to white-collar workers – very, very nervous. On this episode, we talk to Stacey Vanek Smith. She's a reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek and co-host of the Bloomberg podcast, Everybody's Business.And in headlines, the Supreme Court signs off on California's new congressional map, President Trump's attempted assassin is sentenced to life in prison, and a group of Minnesota teachers and school districts sue to stop immigration enforcement activity on or near public schools.Show Notes: Check out Everybody's Business Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
