The coaching industry is facing an uncomfortable truth.Artificial intelligence can now research, write, summarize, and replicate most coaching frameworks for $79 a month. And that reality is about to expose who is actually transformational — and who is just performative.In this unfiltered Thursday conversation, Kellan Fluckiger is joined by Ryan Christensen and Luisa Molano to explain why most coaches won't survive the AI revolution, and what separates embodied, experienced coaches from those who are about to be replaced.This episode is a wake-up call about lived experience, embodiment, emotional intelligence, and the future of real human transformation.

Tá 2024 thart, faoi dheiridh - cad é mar a bhí sé mar bhliain? Ní raibh easpa ceannlínte ann a bhain siar asainn, anseo in Éireann agus níos faide i gcéin. Bhog Donald Trump ar ais isteach sa Teach Bán i Washington, bhí toghchán Uachtaránachta dár gcuid féin againn anseo in Éireann, ciontaíodh an laoch spóirt DJ Carey as calaois a dhéanamh, agus tháinig deireadh leis an ruaille buaille sa Chumann Camógaíochta agus ligeadh d'imreoirí brístí gairide a chaitheadh.

O texto de Jorge Borges explora como a inteligência artificial obriga a uma redefinição profunda dos modelos educativos tradicionais, que antes se baseavam na transmissão unilateral de saber. Com a democratização do acesso imediato a respostas complexas, o autor defende que o foco do ensino deve transitar do conteúdo memorizado para o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico e da literacia digital. A avaliação académica precisa de ser reformulada, valorizando mais o processo de raciocínio e a argumentação do que apenas o resultado final produzido por ferramentas tecnológicas. Neste novo paradigma, o papel do professor evolui de detentor absoluto do conhecimento para um mediador que orienta os alunos na interpretação ética da informação. Em última análise, o artigo apela a uma aprendizagem humanizada, onde a tecnologia funciona como uma aliada cognitiva e não como um substituto para a responsabilidade humana.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how work gets done across nearly every industry. As automation accelerates and technology reshapes careers, parents and educators are asking pressing questions. What kinds of jobs will still exist? How should students prepare for an uncertain future? And what kinds of skills will truly endure?In this episode of BaseCamp Live, host Davies Owens is joined by Tami Peterson, founder and CEO of Life Architects Coaching. Together, they explore how AI is transforming college admissions, career pathways, and workforce expectations, and why human formation matters more than ever.Davies and Tami discuss how colleges are already responding to AI's influence, particularly in admissions. With AI-generated essays becoming commonplace, many schools are rethinking how they evaluate applicants and are placing renewed emphasis on in-person writing, oral exams, classroom engagement, and mentorship-driven learning environments. These shifts highlight a growing desire to see how students actually think, reason, and communicate.The conversation then turns to the workforce and what lies ahead for today's students. While some technical roles may decline or evolve, employers increasingly value qualities that technology cannot replicate.

DCF Trends Summit 2025 Session Recap As the data center industry accelerates into an AI-driven expansion cycle, the fundamentals of site selection and investment are being rewritten. In this session from the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2025, Ed Socia of datacenterHawk moderated a discussion with Denitza Arguirova of Provident Data Centers, Karen Petersburg of PowerHouse Data Centers, Brian Winterhalter of DLA Piper, Phill Lawson-Shanks of Aligned Data Centers, and Fred Bayles of Cologix on how power scarcity, entitlement complexity, and community scrutiny are reshaping where—and how—data centers get built. A central theme of the conversation was that power, not land, now drives site selection. Panelists described how traditional assumptions around transmission timelines and flat electricity pricing no longer apply, pushing developers toward Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, power-first strategies, and closer partnerships with utilities. On-site generation, particularly natural gas, was discussed as a short-term bridge rather than a permanent substitute for grid interconnection. The group also explored how entitlement processes in mature markets have become more demanding. Economic development benefits alone are no longer sufficient; jurisdictions increasingly expect higher-quality design, sensitivity to surrounding communities, and tangible off-site investments. Panelists emphasized that credibility—earned through experience, transparency, and demonstrated follow-through—has become essential to securing approvals. Sustainability and ESG considerations remain critical, but the discussion took a pragmatic view of scale. Meeting projected data center demand will require a mix of energy sources, with renewables complemented by transitional solutions and evolving PPA structures. Community engagement was highlighted as equally important, extending beyond environmental metrics to include workforce development, education, and long-term social investment. Artificial intelligence added another layer of complexity. While large AI training workloads can operate in remote locations, monetized AI applications increasingly demand proximity to users. Rapid hardware cycles, megawatt-scale racks, and liquid-cooling requirements are driving more modular, adaptable designs—often within existing data center portfolios. The session closed with a look at regional opportunity and investor expectations, with markets such as Pennsylvania, Alabama, Ohio, and Oklahoma cited for their utility relationships and development readiness. The overarching conclusion was clear: the traditional data center blueprint still matters—but power strategy, flexibility, and authentic community integration now define success.

India's coastal waters hold immense promise—and growing peril. In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee speaks with Oishinee Chakraborty from the Kuddle Life Foundation, a young organization redefining marine conservation in Pondicherry through science, community collaboration, and artificial reefs.Oishinee introduces listeners to the Foundation's origins—founded in 2020 by Punit Dhandhania and Hans Dhandhania, who transformed a small circle of ocean enthusiasts into a leading grassroots force for marine ecology and biodiversity conservation. With limited institutions working on ocean protection in southern India, Kuddle Life fills a critical gap by creating local, science-driven projects that link marine ecosystems, coastal livelihoods, and sustainable development.At the heart of their work lies the artificial reef program—a groundbreaking effort to restore degraded marine ecosystems and revive marine biodiversity. Oishinee explains that space is the ocean's most limiting factor, and artificial reefs—built using eco-friendly materials like concrete and steel—mimic the natural hard surfaces that corals, sponges, and fish larvae need to attach, grow, and form thriving underwater communities. These structures replicate some functions of natural coral reefs, acting as catalysts for marine biodiversity management and ecosystem recovery.The process of building an artificial reef begins with community engagement. Fisherfolk are invited to share local ecological knowledge and help identify suitable sites for reef deployment. Scientists then assess seabed topography, water quality, and existing biodiversity before designing reef modules—each over 500 kg and a meter tall. Local divers and fishermen help deploy the structures less than five kilometers offshore, making the effort both participatory and empowering.Monitoring continues for years, as reefs mature and attract a diversity of marine wildlife. In Pondicherry, Kuddle Life has recorded remarkable results: a 20% rise in dissolved oxygen, increased chlorophyll levels, and nearly a fourfold growth in fish abundance. For local fishers, incomes have doubled—from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 per day—while fuel costs have halved because fishing now occurs closer to shore. These outcomes highlight how marine biodiversity conservation can drive both ecological and economic resilience.Globally, artificial reefs have become vital tools for restoring marine ecosystems damaged by climate change, overfishing, and pollution. Yet, as Oishinee reminds us, nothing can replace natural coral reefs. Artificial structures can only supplement lost habitat, not substitute for nature's complexity. Still, by reviving degraded areas and promoting sustainable fishing, these reefs help maintain ocean productivity in a warming world.Beyond reef restoration, the Kuddle Life Foundation runs educational and research programs across India. Through marine litter surveys, bycatch reduction initiatives, dive training, and youth internships, the foundation is building a generation of ocean stewards. Its unique for-profit dive center reinvests earnings into conservation, while volunteers support marine ecology projects both underwater and onshore—from data analysis to biodiversity monitoring.Oishinee also discusses the challenges of sustaining NGO work in India—funding barriers, bureaucratic delays, and the slow pace of conservation impact. Yet, she finds hope in the growing public interest in marine biodiversity, particularly when students and non-biologists approach her asking how they can help. That curiosity, she believes, is the first step toward lasting ocean change.This episode reveals how grassroots innovation, science, and compassion are reshaping marine biodiversity hotspots along India's coast—proving that ocean recovery begins not just beneath the waves, but within communities themselves.#artificialreefs #marineecology #marineecosystems #marinebiodiversity #marineconservation #marinewildlife #marinebiodiversityhotspot #marinebiodiversityconservation #biodiversityconservation #biodiversity #biodiversitymanagementAbout the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London.

Host Cary Sinnett is joined by Dr. Brianne Smith, a PFP practitioner, CPA firm owner, and accounting professor at Auburn University, for a timely conversation on artificial intelligence in financial planning. Artificial intelligence is moving quickly into financial planning workflows, but not all "AI" tools are created equal. For CPA financial planners, the opportunity is significant: increased efficiency, deeper insights, and more client-centered communication. The risk lies in adopting technology without fully understanding what it does, how it works, and where human judgment must remain firmly in place. Explore with Dr. Brianne Smith how CPA financial planners can separate AI hype from real innovation and adopt emerging tools responsibly, with a clear focus on supervision, workflow integration, and maintaining client trust. What You'll Learn How to distinguish true AI from traditional automation and why that difference matters in practice Real-world examples of how AI is already enhancing document review, meeting documentation, and investment analysis How to supervise AI outputs responsibly while maintaining professional judgment and client trust How role mapping can help identify where AI and automation can free planners to focus on higher-value client work How AI can support both practice scalability and the next generation of CPA financial planners AICPA Resources: AICPA Personal Financial Planning Symposium Video: AI and Technology Updates for Financial Planning Practices Center: AI Tax Resource Learning: The AI Advantage: Leveraging AI for Efficiency and Impact Center: Tax Research This episode is brought to you by the AICPA's Personal Financial Planning Section, the premier provider of information, tools, advocacy, and guidance for professionals who specialize in providing tax, estate, retirement, risk management and investment planning advice.

Inteligência artificial pode te enlouquecer? O que é psicose induzida por IA

Artificial intelligence is sold as progress, efficiency, and inevitability. But what happens when the story can't tell the truth without collapsing on itself? This episode explores the Pinocchio Paradox of AI—a moment where claims about job loss, abundance, and automation contradict lived reality.If AI is replacing everyone, who is still building, buying, governing, and fixing the world? We walk through history's pattern of technological panic, the quiet rise of guardrails and oversight, and why trades and energy infrastructure are becoming anti-fragile anchors. Along the way, Christmas becomes a mirror for a consumption-addicted economy mistaking spending for security. This isn't an anti-AI rant. It's a reality check. Progress doesn't end work. It exposes truth, compresses inefficiency, and demands better humans at the controls.

Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than most coaches are prepared for — and it's about to wipe out the middle of the coaching industry.In this powerful Thursday roundtable, Kellan Fluckiger sits down with Robert Twine and Eric Lofholm to confront the uncomfortable truth: systems, scripts, checklists, and processes are becoming obsolete. AI can already do them faster, better, and cheaper.So what's left?Human connection.This episode explores why the future of coaching belongs to those who can transmit truth, vulnerability, presence, and lived experience — and why anything “performative” is on borrowed time. If you're a coach, creator, or leader navigating the AI shift, this conversation is not optional.Key TakeawaysHow AI is reshaping — and disrupting — the coaching industryWhy systems, processes, and methodologies are becoming commoditizedThe difference between performance and embodimentUsing AI as a thinking partner without losing human depthAccountability, vulnerability, and real relationship as value creatorsWhy “human connection” may become more valuable as technology advancesWhat new and experienced coaches must do to survive the AI shiftReady to turn your truth into impact

O ano de 2025 teve algumas boas notícias para o meio ambiente, e deixou um gosto de “estamos indo na boa direção, mas ainda falta muito pela frente”. Nesta retrospectiva, a RFI relembra alguns dos fatos mais importantes dos últimos 12 meses. O ano começou com uma perspectiva nada favorável para o combate às mudanças climáticas: a volta do presidente Donald Trump ao poder, que chegou a dizer que o aquecimento global é "a maior farsa" já promovida na história. Quando o maior emissor histórico de gases de efeito estufa se retira da jogada e congela os investimentos na transição energética, a preocupação era que esse retrocesso se generalizasse no resto do mundo. Em várias regiões, as populações sentem na pele os impactos do aumento da temperatura na Terra. Gustavo Loiola, especialista em Sustentabilidade e professor convidado em instituições como FGV e PUC-PR, notou que o agronegócio brasileiro, motor da economia do país, não pode mais se dar ao luxo de virar as costas para o assunto. “Não tem como não falar de clima dentro do agronegócio. O produtor rural é o primeiro a sofrer com a escassez ou o excesso de chuvas e as mudanças climáticas, que acabam afetando a produção”, indicou ele ao podcast Planeta Verde, um mês após a posse de Trump. “Impacta também o setor financeiro, que oferece crédito para o agronegócio. O risco de emprestar se torna maior, então é ilógico não olhar para esses temas”, acrescentou. Expansão das renováveis: um caminho sem volta Quem se deu bem com o recuo americano foi a sua principal concorrente, a China. Pequim já liderava a transição energética e aumentou o impulso a esta agenda mundo afora. A queda dos custos de painéis solares, baterias e outros equipamentos fundamentais para a substituição de fontes de energia altamente poluentes resultou em um ponto de inflexão em 2025: pela primeira vez, a geração de eletricidade global por fontes renováveis ultrapassou a dos combustíveis fósseis, as mais prejudiciais ao planeta. A Agência Internacional de Energia afirma que o novo recorde de expansão de renováveis será batido este ano, com mais de 750 gigawatts de capacidade adicional, sobretudo solar. Isso significa que o crescimento da demanda mundial de energia elétrica foi, principalmente, atendido por fontes limpas. Só que este desafio se mede em trilhões de watts: a expectativa é que a demanda mundial energética dispare nos próximos anos, puxada pelo desenvolvimento das tecnologias e, em especial, da inteligência artificial. A poluição digital já respondia por 4% das emissões mundiais de gases de efeito estufa por ano. O aumento das emissões de grandes empresas de tecnologia nos últimos anos comprova essa tendência. “Já temos um crescimento exponencial só nessa fase de treinamentos dos modelos de IA generativa: do número de placas gráficas utilizadas, do consumo de energia. Portanto, as emissões de gases de efeito estufa estão também em crescimento exponencial, assim como o esgotamento dos recursos abióticos, ou seja, não vivos, segue nessa mesma trajetória”, salientou Aurélie Bugeau, pesquisadora em Informática da Universidade de Bordeaux. “As empresas alertam que é um verdadeiro desafio para elas conseguirem atingir a neutralidade de carbono que era visada para 2030, afinal a IA traz novos desafios. Por isso é que esse imenso consumo de energia pode levar à reabertura de usinas nucleares, como nos Estados Unidos, sob o impulso da Microsoft”, alertou. Transição energética para quem? Em ano de COP30 no Brasil, a Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre as Mudanças Climáticas, a RFI também buscou ouvir as populações mais vulneráveis ao aquecimento do planeta. Nos países em desenvolvimento, a corrida pelos minerais críticos, essenciais para a eletrificação das economias – como alumínio, cobalto e lítio – causa apreensão. Toda essa discussão sobre transição energética, num contexto em que a demanda por energia só aumenta, parece até provocação aos olhos de pessoas como a maranhense Elaine da Silva Barros, integrante do Movimento pela Soberania Popular na Mineração (MAM). Ela participou das manifestações da sociedade civil à margem da COP30, em Belém, para pedir justiça climática. "A transição energética não é para nós. O Brasil já se supre e tem uma matriz energética de renováveis”, disse. "Não faz sentido o Brasil ter que mudar a sua matriz energética para que os países europeus e os Estados Unidos possam sair dos combustíveis fósseis. Não faz sentido aumentar a mineração nos nossos territórios e aumentar a expulsão dos nossos povos deles”, argumentou. O pescador Benedito de Souza Ribeiro, 62 anos, dependeu a vida inteira do rio Amazonas para sobreviver. Ele sente não apenas os impactos das secas, que estão mais frequentes, como vê com preocupação os planos do Brasil de aumentar as exportações de minerais para a transição energética nos países desenvolvidos. “As grandes indústrias estão se instalando em nossos territórios e expulsando os nossos pescadores da área, os ribeirinhos, que vivem da pesca. Esses empreendimentos causam o aquecimento global”, denunciou. “As barragens e as mineradoras poluem os rios e os peixes, e nós ainda tomamos essa água contaminada. Isso é um prejuízo muito grande para a nossa alimentação.” COP30 e acordo sobre transição justa Para não deixar ninguém para trás, a transição energética precisa ser justa. Significa criar oportunidades de trabalho para as pessoas que dependem de setores que serão gradualmente abandonados, distribuir as novas riquezas geradas pela economia de baixo carbono, e não aprofundar as desigualdades. Essa foi uma das principais pautas do Brasil na COP30 e um dos resultados mais concretos do evento, sediado no país em 2025. A conferência decepcionou pela pouca ambição dos acordos finais, travada entre dois grupos de países com visões opostas sobre o fim da dependência dos combustíveis fósseis, ou seja, o carvão, o petróleo e o gás. “Os resultados estão muito voltados para demandas dos países mais vulneráveis e isso é muito importante porque é uma COP no Brasil, na Amazônia, um país em desenvolvimento. Foi aprovado aqui um programa de trabalho de transição justa, algo que não tinha se conseguido na última COP. Na COP29 não houve acordo”, destacou a negociadora-chefe do Brasil, Liliam Chagas, ao final do evento. “É uma das questões mais polêmicas, e era uma demanda da sociedade civil de todos os países em desenvolvimento. Esse mecanismo foi instituído, e vai ser um órgão mais permanente para que os países possam recorrer para fazer políticas de transição justa, seja para pessoas ou para infraestrutura”, salientou. Combate ao desmatamento ameaçado Internamente, o maior desafio do Brasil é acabar com o desmatamento, que responde por 80% das emissões brasileiras. Neste ano, o país teve bons resultados a comemorar: na Amazônia e no Cerrado, a devastação caiu 11% entre agosto de 2024 e julho de 2025. Na Amazônia, foi o terceiro menor nível desde 1988. Este avanço foi apontado por especialistas como uma das principais razões pelas quais o nível mundial de emissões se manteve estável em 2025, em vez de aumentar – como sempre acontece a cada ano. “O Brasil é, sem dúvida, uma referência, não só por causa da floresta, mas pelo que ele tem em termos de conhecimentos científicos a respeito do tema. O Brasil vem trabalhando com planos de redução do desmatamento desde 2004, com resultados respeitáveis”, aponta Fernanda Carvalho, doutora em Relações Internacionais e diretora de políticas climáticas da organização WWF. “Acho que o Brasil tem condições de ser a grande liderança nesse aspecto. Depende de ter vontade política.” As divergências políticas internas ameaçam essa trajetória virtuosa. A nova versão da Lei de Licenciamento Ambiental flexibiliza os procedimentos para a liberação de grandes projetos. Na prática, se a lei entrar em vigor, pode fazer o desmatamento voltar a subir no país. Análises da ONU sobre os compromissos dos países para combater o aquecimento global indicam que o mundo está avançando na direção correta, apesar dos contratempos. No entanto, o ritmo precisa ser acelerado – e a próxima década vai ser crucial para a humanidade conseguir limitar a alta das temperaturas a no máximo 1,5°C até o fim deste século.

As the holiday season sweeps through the Valley, host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael invites listeners to step into the warmth of community traditions in a special episode. This festive conversation, woven from interviews with local leaders, business owners, and community members, offers a delightful tapestry of Christmas customs, heartfelt memories, and a few friendly debates. The Great Tree Debate: Real or Artificial? The episode opens with a question that sparks instant nostalgia: Are you a real Christmas tree person or do you prefer artificial? Krista Shifflett of the Warren Coalition confesses her lifelong love for real trees, though practicality has recently nudged her toward artificial options. Similarly, Celeste Brooks shares that allergies in her family have made artificial trees a necessity, while others, like Les Sinclair of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, opt for convenience over tradition. The conversation reveals that, for many, the choice between real and artificial is shaped by family needs, safety, and even the presence of pets. Decking the Halls: Timing and Traditions Transitioning from tree types to timing, Janet asks her guests when they put up and take down their decorations. Some, like Robyn Miller of WATTS, stick to the classic post-Thanksgiving setup, while others, such as Victoria Armstrong Kidd of the Hideaway Cafe, admit to keeping their trees up well into February. The reasons vary—busy schedules, a love for the festive glow, or simply not wanting to let go of the season's magic. Gift-Giving Rituals: Wrapping, Bagging, and the Art of Shopping No holiday conversation is complete without discussing gifts. The guests reveal a spectrum of shopping habits, from early planners who finish by Thanksgiving to last-minute dashers picking up presents on Christmas Eve. The art of wrapping also comes under the spotlight, with some guests proudly identifying as "wrappers" who cherish the ritual, while others embrace the practicality of gift bags—especially when time is short or the recipient is a pet with a penchant for unwrapping. Christmas Eve vs. Christmas Morning: When to Open Gifts? Another beloved tradition—when to open gifts—elicits a variety of responses. Some families uphold the anticipation of Christmas morning, while others allow a sneak peek on Christmas Eve, often in the form of a single present or a special family ritual. These small differences highlight the unique ways each household creates its own holiday magic. A Patchwork of Community Spirit Throughout the episode, Janet's guests share more than just their traditions; they offer a glimpse into the values that bind the Valley community. Whether it's the joy of decorating multiple trees, the chaos of wrapping gifts at the last minute, or the comfort of gathering with loved ones, these stories remind us that the heart of the holidays lies in togetherness and shared memories. Conclusion: Celebrating What Matters Most As the conversation draws to a close, Janet encourages listeners to reflect on their own traditions and perhaps borrow a few new ideas from her guests. In a season often marked by hustle and bustle, this episode serves as a gentle reminder to savor the moments, embrace the quirks, and celebrate the connections that make the holidays truly special in the Valley.

A segurança digital é uma batalha global, silenciosa e cada vez mais complexa. No novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech, Fernanda Santos esteve em Seattle para conhecer de perto o trabalho da Microsoft no combate ao cibercrime e entender como a inteligência artificial está mudando a forma de proteger empresas e usuários. Durante a visita ao Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit, unidade que atua em cooperação com organizações como Interpol, FBI e autoridades internacionais, ficou claro como ataques digitais evoluíram, se tornaram mais profissionais e passaram a explorar tanto falhas técnicas quanto o fator humano. O episódio reúne entrevistas com Sherrod DeGrippo, diretora de Estratégia de Inteligência de Ameaças da Microsoft, e Rob Lefferts, vice-presidente corporativo de Proteção contra Ameaças da empresa. Eles explicam como funciona a defesa em escala global, como ataques são detectados e interrompidos em segundos e por que a IA se tornou peça-chave na segurança digital.

Confira no Morning Show desta terça-feira (23): O presidente Lula assinou o tradicional decreto de Indulto de Natal, publicado no Diário Oficial. O texto concede perdão de pena a grupos específicos, mas mantém a regra de excluir condenados por crimes hediondos, violência contra a mulher e, especificamente, os envolvidos nos atos de 8 de janeiro. Teve início nesta terça-feira (23) a saída temporária de fim de ano, conhecida como "saidinha de Natal", em diversos estados do país. Somente em São Paulo, cerca de 30 mil detentos foram contemplados com o benefício. O ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), autorizou nesta segunda-feira (22) a transferência do general da reserva Augusto Heleno para a prisão domiciliar. A decisão atende a um pedido da defesa e baseia-se em um laudo médico oficial da Polícia Federal, que confirmou que o ex-ministro do GSI, de 78 anos, sofre de demência mista (Alzheimer e causas vasculares) em estágio inicial, além de problemas graves de mobilidade. Nesta segunda-feira (22), foi inaugurado o primeiro trecho do Rodoanel Norte, obra aguardada há anos que liga as rodovias Presidente Dutra e Fernão Dias. O evento teve a presença do governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) e do presidente do BNDES, Aloizio Mercadante, que foi vaiado ao elogiar o presidente Lula (PT). Em clima de pré-campanha para 2026, o governador de Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema (Novo), surpreendeu as redes sociais ao publicar um vídeo onde aparece cantando e rasgando elogios ao estado. A produção, no entanto, contou com uma "ajudinha" extra: a voz e a performance foram geradas por Inteligência Artificial. Enquanto a tensão diplomática e militar com os Estados Unidos atinge níveis críticos, o presidente da Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, viralizou nas redes. Durante a inauguração de uma feira comercial em Caracas, ele foi filmado dançando com um robô de Inteligência Artificial ao som de músicas natalinas tradicionais. Além das aparições inusitadas em clima natalino, o ditador Nicolás Maduro subiu o tom contra o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump. Em meio ao cerco naval e às sanções econômicas, Maduro disparou críticas diretas, afirmando que o líder norte-americano "estaria melhor" se focasse nos problemas internos dos EUA em vez de intervir na Venezuela. Um novo alerta para a saúde da terceira idade: sentir-se solitário na velhice pode aumentar em 31% o risco de desenvolver demência e em 15% a probabilidade de comprometimento cognitivo, afetando a memória e a concentração. O médico Dr. Paulo Camiz explica por que o isolamento social é tão prejudicial ao cérebro e como prevenir esses problemas, especialmente nesta fase da vida. Em clima de Natal, o Morning Show recebe a escritora Semadar Marques para um papo necessário sobre empatia e conexão humana. Aproveitando o lançamento de seu novo livro, ela traz uma reflexão poderosa: como a colaboração pode ser a chave para uma sociedade melhor e relações mais saudáveis? Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

Today, we're diving into a critical issue shaping our digital world: "algorithmic privilege."  As Artificial Intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives,  from job applications to healthcare, a new form of societal challenge has emerged where AI systems inadvertently, or sometimes explicitly, favor certain groups, amplifying existing social inequalities.At its core, algorithmic privilege stems from systematic errors, often termed algorithmic bias, within machine learning algorithms, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes. This isn't usually an inherent flaw in the algorithm itself, but rather a reflection of the data and choices made during its development.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racism-white-privilege-in-america--4473713/support.

Artificial intelligence – does it spell evil hyper-intelligent machines deciding that humanity's messy days on Earth need to come to an end? Or will it give us the cure for cancer, effective environmental solutions, and warp drive to carry us to the stars? I don't know, you don't know – and neither do the legions of boosters and doomsayers who claim that they know.  Here's a far smaller question: what will AI mean for astrology in particular? I don't know the answer there either, but I'm asked about it quite a lot, so for what they are worth, here are my thoughts.  I see both positive and negative potentials as AI transforms the way we practice our craft. And transform it, it will – the one certainty is that, barring a total collapse of civilization, artificial intelligence is here to stay. We have to learn to live with it. I also believe that if we, as a society, are successful in coexisting with this new technology, that success will not rest on technological breakthroughs. It will rest on cultural, social, and legal decisions. More about that in a while. What I plan to do as I explore this explosive topic with you is to bounce back and forth between pro-AI perspectives for astrology and negative ones. If you love AI, I'll say some things you'll hate. And if you hate it, I will say some things you'll love. In the end, my aim is not to act as if I know the answer and arrive at some phony thumbs up or thumbs down bottom line – that would be nothing but an empty gesture, as if I were approving or disapproving of gravity. Again, I don't know where all of this will lead. All I know for sure is that AI is not going to disappear. We just have to learn how to live with it. And please – no mean emails.

Tom Sego, founder and CEO of BlastWave, discussed his background in chemical engineering and his journey through various industries, including roles at Caterpillar, Eli Lilly, Emerson Electric, Alta Vista, and Apple. He explained that BlastWave was founded to combine Apple’s ease of use with cybersecurity, focusing on protecting critical infrastructure as it becomes increasingly digitized. Tom emphasized that human error is a significant security risk, citing an example from the San Jacinto Water District. This Follower Friday podcast is sponsored by UTSI International. Tom's podcast includes: Critical infrastructure sectors (like oil and gas, transportation, and manufacturing) face higher cyber risks than traditional IT systems due to the severe consequences of attacks and the challenge of securing legacy devices. Integrating old and new technologies is achieved by using a translation mechanism that enables secure communication between legacy systems and modern infrastructure. Artificial intelligence (AI) has a dual impact: it can enhance attackers' ability to automate cyberattacks, but it also offers opportunities to improve security, such as by eliminating vulnerabilities like passwords. Technology solutions are essential for reducing the human burden in security, especially for defending against phishing and reconnaissance attacks. Eliminating attack vectors (e.g., usernames and passwords) can significantly reduce security risks, regardless of how effective or frequent attacks become. Focusing on the safety of critical infrastructure allows people to prioritize what matters most in life, such as family, relationships, and health.
