Big AI deals.

AI is not just a distant concept but a force that quietly transforms how nonprofits create, communicate, and connect. The key to successful adaptation of AI technologies is embracing imperfection, letting AI spark direction, structure, and scale, even when the first draft isn't perfect. As the sector evolves by the week, adaptability becomes the ultimate advantage for nonprofits in staying discoverable, relevant, and ready for what's next.    Nathan and Scott open this week's conversation coming live from the Association Philanthropy Healthcare Conference at Aurora, Colorado. They first discuss the striking parallel between today's AI revolution and the industrial revolution, both highlighted by innovation and concentrated power, but unlike in the past, the AI revolution is instant and global. Then Scott shares his perspective on the limitations of AI. As formidable a tool as AI might be, when it comes to sensitive concepts like therapy and reasoning, AI cannot play the full functioning role of a human therapist and make us feel safe, heard, and seen. Furthermore, Nathan talks passionately about finding clarity in a noisy world where you have to slow down and find the intentional stillness where purpose takes shape. He further advises people to find their ‘one thing,' which isn't a luxury but the foundation for future leadership.     Further into the episode, Nathan and Scott also discuss the following topics: the hope of new generations finding the balance between technology and human connection, the importance of staying anchored to personal values, the emergence of new AI technologies, the importance of experimenting and figuring out the potential of AI, the necessity of establishing AI governance policies, and more.       EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS    [02:45] Coming live from the Association Philanthropy Healthcare Conference.   [08:00] AI revolution vs. industrial revolution.  [10:41] Gen Alpha - A “renaissance” of balance between technology and human connection.  [15:50] Limitations of AI as a therapist.   [18:23] Figuring out and staying anchored to personal values.   [22:30] Defining your ‘one thing'.   [27:42] The rise of Artificial General Intelligence.   [35:15] Going beyond the surface level of AI and identifying its potential.   [38:40] The release of ChatGPT Atlas browser.  [43:05] Establishing AI governance policies.   [49:30] Visibility and credibility in the AI era.   [51:00] Smart compose feature in Gmail.   [59:14] Practical adoption, creative process, and balancing efficiency in agentic AI.   RESOURCES    IRREPLACEABLE: The Art of Standing Out in the Age of Artificial Intelligence  by Pascal Bornet  amazon.com/IRREPLACEABLE-Art-Standing-Artificial-Intelligence/dp/1394264402   Connect with Nathan and Scott: LinkedIn (Nathan): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/nathanchappell/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn (Scott): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/scott-rosenkrans⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fundraising.ai/⁠⁠

OpenAI has officially transitioned to a for-profit corporation, a move approved by Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings. This restructuring allows OpenAI to raise capital more effectively while maintaining oversight from its original non-profit entity. Microsoft now holds a 27% stake in the new structure, valued at over $100 billion, and OpenAI has committed to purchasing $250 billion in Microsoft Azure cloud services. This agreement includes provisions for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which will require verification from an independent expert panel before any declarations are made. Critics have raised concerns about the potential compromise of the non-profit's independence under this new arrangement.Research from cybersecurity firm SPLX indicates that AI agents, such as OpenAI's Atlas, are becoming new security threats due to vulnerabilities that allow malicious actors to manipulate their outputs. A survey revealed that only 17.5% of U.S. business leaders have an AI governance program in place, highlighting a significant gap in responsible AI use. The National Institute of Standards and Technology emphasizes the importance of identity governance in managing AI risks, suggesting that organizations must embed identity controls throughout AI deployment to mitigate potential threats.Additionally, a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is currently being exploited, with around 100,000 instances reported in just one week. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated actors to execute arbitrary code on affected systems, raising concerns among cybersecurity experts, especially since Microsoft has not updated its guidance on the matter. Meanwhile, Microsoft 365 Copilot has introduced a new feature enabling users to build applications and automate workflows using natural language, which could lead to governance challenges as employees create their own automations.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the need for enhanced governance and security measures. The shift of OpenAI to a for-profit model signals a tighter integration with Microsoft, necessitating familiarity with Azure's AI stack. The vulnerabilities associated with AI agents and the WSUS exploit highlight the importance of proactive security measures. MSPs should prioritize establishing governance frameworks around AI usage and ensure robust identity management to mitigate risks associated with these emerging technologies.Four things to know today00:00 OpenAI Officially Becomes a For-Profit Corporation, Cementing $100B Partnership with Microsoft03:30 AI Agents Are Becoming a Security Nightmare—Because No One Knows Who They Really Are07:53 Hackers Are Targeting WSUS Servers — and You Could Be Distributing Malware Without Knowing It09:28 Microsoft's New Copilot Features Turn AI from Assistant to App Creator, Raising Governance Questions This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/

Can we align AI with society's best interests? Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, joins Ian Bremmer on the GZERO World Podcast to discuss the risks to humanity and society as tech firms ignore safety and prioritize speed in the race to build more and more powerful AI models. AI is the most powerful technology humanity has ever built. It can cure disease, reinvent education, unlock scientific discovery. But there is a danger to rolling out new technologies en masse to society without understanding the possible risks. The tradeoff between AI's risks and potential rewards is similar to deployment of social media. It began as a tool to connect people and, in many ways, it did. But it also become an engine for polarization, disinformation, and mass surveillance. That wasn't inevitable. It was the product of choices—choices made by a small handful of companies moving fast and breaking things.

Max works at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, and the trilogy is an imagining of what Artificial General Intelligence might be like, written from the perspective of one of the AI's subagents.His newest book, Red Heart, will be out November 3rd and is available for pre-order.https://maxharms.com/redheart

Admiral James Stavridis is a 4-Star Navy Admiral who served as Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. Following his military career, he served as Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Currently he serves as Partner and Vice Chairman of The Carlyle Group, one of the world's largest private equity firms. He also serves as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation. In this episode we discuss the following: To be a great leader, you have to be in shape. Leaders need energy and health, and sleep is a weapon. If you're not rested, you're not ready for battle. Admiral Stavridis was Captain of a destroyer that failed inspection, it was his peers that had his back and saved him that day. Invest in our peer relationships because they will be honest with us and be unafraid to reach out. Great leaders are great readers. To be a reader is to lead a thousand lives. Every book is a simulator, whether we're learning resilience from The Old Man and the Sea or leadership from the Godfather. Since conducting this interview, I have been reading The Admiral's Bookshelf, and I love learning the lessons he learned from his top 25 books. And because of this conversation I created my own bookshelf of the 25 books that have most influenced me. I've pasted these in the show notes and on my website.   The Admiral's final lesson is timeless. Be humble.  And inspired by The Admiral's Bookshelf, I created my own bookshelf. Nate Meikle's Bookshelf The Book of Mormon & Bible Taught me about Jesus Christ, love, repentance, forgiveness, and endurance Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Reminds me to avoid the superficial Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom Motivated me to become a professor Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki The first book to get me excited about personal finance, one of the most important, underappreciated topics IMO. A Man for All Seasons by Robert Bolt Motivates me to be honest in all things How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie Improved my communication skills dramatically Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy Warns me of the dangers of infidelity Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Motivates me to live a life of integrity My Personal Best by John Wooden Taught me about servant leadership and to treat friendship like a fine art The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb Made me realize the importance of long tail events Jim Trelease Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease Motivated me to teach my daughter to read at age 2, read tens of thousands of books to her (and our subsequent 3 children), and ultimately write my own book (Little Miss) about how to inspire children to love reading Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath Taught me the importance of storytelling and how to tell great stories The Wise Heart by Jack Kornfield Taught me about Buddhism, and the three causes of human suffering (Grasping, Aversion, Delusion) A Guide to the Good Life by William Irvine Taught me about Stoic Philosophy and the value of negative visualization and wanting the things we have The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt Taught me to not coddle my children and the dangers of cognitive distortions (and the value of cognitive behavioral therapy) The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweill (published in 2005) Made me realize that AI is likely the most important invention ever, and persuaded me that Artificial General Intelligence will arrive during my lifetime Poor Charlie's Almanack, by Charlie Munger The greatest collection of wisdom I've ever come across related to investing (specifically) and decision making (generally) Thinking In Bets by Annie Duke Taught me about the dangers of resulting / outcome bias (judging a decision by the outcome rather than the process) Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss Taught me the importance of seeing a negotiation from the other person's point of view, and constantly showing them that you understand their position (by labeling, mirroring, and using an accusations audit) Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson Taught me about elite ambition, determination, and focus Endurance by Alfred Lansing Taught me about unflinching leadership Good Energy by Casey Means Persuaded me to eliminate processed foods and exercise 5-6 days per week Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card Reminds me how capable children are Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan Inspires me to be courageous The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams Reminds me to try to laugh every day, in every class, in every conversation

Everything else happening in the world aside, we are at a fascinating juncture in the history of humanity.  Assuming we live long enough to witness it, many people would say we're on the cusp of a new reality, represented by the three words, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).  Ai Tsuno's fourth album gracefully explores this theme.  For this special edition of This Week with David Rovics I bring you Where the Algorithms Rule:  a guided tour.

Living in a rapidly changing technological era, the development of AI reminds us that what feels stable today can shift overnight. Just as global pandemics and political scenarios are reshaping our world quickly, AI is accelerating change at an unprecedented pace. The key not just to survive but to stay at the top of the technological game is to learn to adapt, stay open to possibilities, and prepare for what the future may hold.     In this episode, Nathan and Scott primarily focus their conversation on the 2025 Fundraising AI Global Summit that happened last week and the positive changes that occurred this year compared to previous years. Throughout this conversation, they discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries at a pace few people anticipated, how quickly assumptions about the stability of something can collapse, what it really means to adapt in a world where technology is moving faster than the traditional systems can keep up, what practical strategies you can try to stay strong, the research data on generative AI adaptation failure, how iteration unlocks the deeper potential of generative AI beyond surface-level tasks, the environmental and ethical implications of AI, and more.   HIGHLIGHTS    [01:35] 2025 Fundraising AI Global Summit Recap.   [03:38] The increased awareness around the Global Summit.   [08:30] Feedback on the summit.   [10:44] The increasing role of agentic AI.   [11:42] MIT study on generative AI.   [17:42] The importance of iterative improvement in AI implementation.  [21:17] Environmental implications of AI.   [26:17] Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the future of AI.   [32:10] The importance of preparing for the rapid technological changes coming.  Connect with Nathan and Scott: LinkedIn (Nathan): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/nathanchappell/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn (Scott): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/scott-rosenkrans⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fundraising.ai/⁠

From deepfakes to job automation, artificial intelligence is no longer on the horizon - it is already reshaping how we live, work, and govern. As the pace of technological change accelerates, the social, political, ethical and economic consequences are becoming harder to ignore. This autumn, Trinity College Dublin's School of Social Sciences and Philosophy presents AI: The Age of Disruption, a free public lecture series exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on human life. Across four Thursday evenings in September and October, experts from the School's four departments (Sociology, Philosophy, Economics and Political Science) will examine the complex realities of AI from multiple disciplinary perspectives. Paul O'Grady, Head of the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy, explains: "Artificial intelligence is already transforming our world in profound ways, from the way we work and interact to how we govern and make decisions. This series brings together researchers from across the School to explore what that means for individuals, institutions and society as a whole. We hope these events will spark important conversations and invite the public to think critically about the kind of future we are creating." Dates: Thursday 25 September, 2, 9 & 16 October 2025 Time: 7.00 pm - 8.30 pm Location: The Synge Theatre, Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin Admission: Free, but advance registration required. Full details and registration are available on Eventbrite. Schedule of Lectures: 'A New Sociology of Humans and Machines', Thursday 25 September 2025. What happens when machines become part of society? Professor Taha Yasseri, from the Department of Sociology, explores how intelligent systems are shaping communication, cooperation and decision-making, and why we may need a new sociological framework to understand our changing social world. 'Machines Like Us? The Ethics of Artificial General Intelligence', Thursday 2 October 2025. Can we create minds more powerful than our own, and should we? Dr Will Ratoff, from the Department of Philosophy, investigates the ethical, social and existential dilemmas raised by artificial general intelligence, from the promise of progress to the risks of unchecked creation. 'The New Economic Order with AI', Thursday 9 October 2025. AI is revolutionising work and productivity, but at what cost? Dr Jian Cao, from the Department of Economics, discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping the global economy, and what governments and societies must do to adapt, regulate and prepare for the future. 'Democracy & AI: Navigating the Political Risks', Thursday 16 October 2025. From deepfakes to data-driven campaigning, AI is challenging the foundations of democracy. Political Scientists Professor Constantine Boussalis, Dr Tom Paskhalis and Dr Asli Ceren Cinar explore the rise of algorithmic influence, misinformation, and targeted propaganda, and how democratic systems can adapt and respond.

Heute haben wir ein ziemlich dickes Brett zu bohren, denn es geht um die künstliche Intelligenz – und zwar nicht um das, was viele heute bereits darunter verstehen, also die sogenannten Large Language Modelle, die inzwischen von vielen Menschen regelmäßig genutzt werden. Im Fokus steht vielmehr die AGI, die Artificial General Intelligence. Sie ist mindestens so schlau wie wir Menschen und bringt damit nicht nur enorme Chancen mit sich, sondern auch verschiedene Bedrohungsszenarien. Gerade an den Börsen ergeben sich daraus Risiken für bestimmte Sektoren, die ich selbstverständlich ansprechen werde. Klar ist: Das Thema ist komplex und wir werden es in einer einzelnen Podcastfolge nicht abschließend klären können. Doch es führt kein Weg daran vorbei, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen.

The UK Investor Magazine was thrilled to welcome Alastair Unwin, Deputy Manager of Polar Capital Technology Trust, to delve into the trust and its focus on the adoption of artificial intelligence.The Polar Capital Technology Trust aims to be at the forefront of this transition, seeking to identify and invest in the real drivers and beneficiaries of AI adoption – carefully navigating powerful technologies while positioning for long-term growth.Find out more about the Polar Capital Technology Trust here.Alastair outlined Polar Capital Technology Trust's disciplined approach to investing in the technology sector, emphasising how the fund navigates the inherent challenges of a high-growth sector that's often susceptible to market hype and speculation.The conversation explored the significant turbulence experienced by technology stocks in the first half of the year, followed by a strong recovery that pushed markets to new highs. Alastair provided insights into the underlying drivers of these movements, including macroeconomic factors, investor sentiment shifts, and sector-specific catalysts that influenced the dramatic market swings.A significant portion of the discussion focused on the market concentration within the “Magnificent Seven” technology stocks, several of which feature prominently in PCT's top holdings. Alastair addressed the critical question of what market conditions and developments would be necessary to achieve broader market participation beyond these mega-cap technology leaders.Looking ahead to potential market broadening, Alastair highlighted specific investment opportunities that PCT is particularly excited about. The discussion covered sectors and companies positioned to benefit from a more diversified technology rally and the fund's strategy for capitalising on these emerging themes.The podcast delved deep into the artificial intelligence investment theme, examining how returns have been predominantly driven by semiconductor companies and infrastructure providers – the “enablers” of AI. Alastair discussed the fund's perspective on identifying the next wave of AI “beneficiaries” and highlighted early success stories beyond the traditional “picks and shovels” approach to AI investing.Drawing on recent earnings from technology giants Meta and Alphabet, the conversation addressed the “incumbent's dilemma” and the massive AI-related capital expenditure commitments from hyperscale cloud providers. Alastair provided his assessment of whether current spending levels are justified by potential returns and market opportunities.The discussion explored PCT's approach to measuring AI market health, including their analysis of AI tokens processed as a key barometer. Alastair explained what tokens represent in the AI ecosystem and outlined other metrics the fund monitors to gauge the sustainable growth of artificial intelligence applications.A forward-looking segment focused on Alastair's views on “Agentic AI” as the next significant step toward Artificial General Intelligence. The conversation covered what distinguishes agentic AI systems, their potential applications, and the investment opportunities this evolution presents for technology investors.The podcast concluded with Alastair's perspective on the most compelling aspects of investing in the AI era, discussing long-term trends and opportunities that have PCT particularly optimistic about the years ahead in technology investing.

Anders Indset, leading business philosopher and author of The Singularity Paradox, places the emergence of Artificial Human Intelligence at the center of a broader reflection on what it means to be human in a world of accelerating technological change. Recognized by Thinkers50 as one of the most influential voices in technology, economy, and leadership, he is the founder and chairman of Njordis Group, a venture firm committed to enabling positive progress for humanity.As the commercialization of humanoid robotics gathers pace, Indset warns of the societal and existential consequences of systems that are increasingly capable of replicating human thought and behavior. In a landscape shaped by exponential transformation, where risks and possibilities unfold simultaneously, he argues for a new mindset: organizations as learning systems, guided by innovation and shaped by ethical cultures rooted in trust, change, and friction.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, host Sundi Myint chats with SmartLogic engineers and fellow Wizards Dan Ivovich and Charles Suggs about the practical tooling that surrounds Elixir in a consultancy setting. We dig into how standardized dev environments, sensible scaffolding, and clear observability help teams ship quickly across many client projects without turning every app into a snowflake. Join us for a grounded tour of what's working for us today (and what we've retired), plus how we evaluate new tech (including AI) through a pragmatic, Elixir-first lens. Key topics discussed in this episode: Standardizing across projects: why consistent environments matter in consultancy work Nix (and flakes) for reproducible dev setups and faster onboarding Igniter to scaffold common patterns (auth, config, workflows) without boilerplate drift Deployment approaches: OTP releases, runtime config, and Ansible playbooks Frontend pipeline evolution: from Brunch/Webpack to esbuild + Tailwind Observability in practice: Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards Handling time-series and sensor data When Explorer can be the database Picking the right tool: Elixir where it shines, integrations where it counts Using AI with intention: code exploration, prototypes, and guardrails for IP/security Keeping quality high across multiple codebases: tests, telemetry, and sensible conventions Reducing context-switching costs with shared patterns and playbooks Links mentioned: http://smartlogic.io https://nix.dev/ https://github.com/ash-project/igniter Elixir Wizards S13E01 Igniter with Zach Daniel https://youtu.be/WM9iQlQSFg https://github.com/elixir-explorer/explorer Elixir Wizards S14E09 Explorer with Chris Grainger https://youtu.be/OqJDsCF0El0 Elixir Wizards S14E08 Nix with Norbert (Nobbz) Melzer https://youtu.be/yymUcgy4OAk https://jqlang.org/ https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep https://github.com/resources/articles/devops/ci-cd https://prometheus.io/ https://capistranorb.com/ https://ansible.com/  https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/releases.html https://brunch.io/ https://webpack.js.org/loaders/css-loader/ https://tailwindcss.com/ https://sass-lang.com/dart-sass/ https://grafana.com/ https://pragprog.com/titles/passweather/build-a-weather-station-with-elixir-and-nerves/ https://www.datadoghq.com/ https://sqlite.org/ Elixir Wizards S14E06 SDUI at Cars.com with Zack Kayser https://youtu.be/nloRcgngTk https://github.com/features/copilot https://openai.com/codex/ https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code YouTube Video: Vibe Coding TEDCO's RFP https://youtu.be/i1ncgXZJHZs Blog: https://smartlogic.io/blog/how-i-used-ai-to-vibe-code-a-website-called-for-in-tedco-rfp/ Blog: https://smartlogic.io/blog/from-vibe-to-viable-turning-ai-built-prototypes-into-market-ready-mvps/ https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/eragon-by-christopher-paolini/246801 https://tidewave.ai/ !!

How does a particle physicist end up shaping the UK Government's approach to artificial intelligence? In this thought‑provoking episode, Andrew Grill sits down with Dr Laura Gilbert CBE, former Director of Data Science at 10 Downing Street and now the Senior Director of AI at the Tony Blair Institute.Laura's unique career path, from academic research in physics to the heart of policymaking, gives her a rare perspective on how governments can use emerging technologies not just efficiently, but humanely. She shares candid insights into how policy teams think about digital transformation, why the public sector faces very different challenges to private industry, and how to avoid technology that dehumanises decision‑making.Drawing on examples from her work in Whitehall, Laura discusses the realities of forecasting in AI, the danger of “buzzword chasing”, and why the next breakthrough in Artificial General Intelligence might well come from an unexpected player, possibly from within government itself.This is a conversation for anyone curious about the intersection of science, policy, ethics, and technology, and how they can combine to make government more responsive, transparent, and human-centred.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow Laura Gilbert moved from particle physics research into government AI leadershipThe strategic role of AI in shaping modern policy and public servicesWhy forecasting in AI is harder than it looks—and how this impacts decision‑makersThe balance between technical capability and human‑centred governanceWhy governments must look beyond the tech giants for innovative solutionsLessons from the Evidence House and AI for Public Good programmesResourcesTony Blair Global Institute WebsiteUK Government AI IncubatorLaura on LinkedInRaindrop.io bookmarking appThanks for listening to Digitally Curious.

A16z Podcast Key Takeaways  Human labor may become less valuable, but the property that humans own – such as the S&P 500 – will experience significant value growth Value will accrue to property owners, via capital incomeA practical definition of AGI: AI that can do 98% of jobs as well as humans and can automate 95% of white collar work People often think of AI replacing human jobs as a perfect substitute, but typically, new technological adoption is complementary to human labor The key capability of learning on the job has not been unlocked; this is a technological unlock that could supersede the brand effect So while OpenAI is leading on brand, it could be usurped by a lab that makes a technical breakthroughUnless more compute comes online to continue the growth, we will have to rely on advancements in AI algorithms to carry the torch With AI, capital and labor are functionally equivalent; we can just build more data centers and robot factories (which can build even more data centers and robot factories), thus creating an explosive dynamic The optimistic vision for humanity's role in an AI-driven future mirrors how we currently treat retirees: valuing their past contributions and supporting them even as they step back from direct economic productivity The emergence of AGI will resemble the Industrial Revolution more than it will the creation of the atom bomb There was not ‘one machine' that enabled the Industrial Revolution; there was a broader process of growth and automation due to many complementary innovations A sovereign-wealth fund type structure may describe the future of human work: Humans buy shares in investment firms that manage the investment of AI stuff and then become broad-based shareholders in the development of AI This is what Alaska does with oil Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, Erik Torenberg is joined in the studio by Dwarkesh Patel and Noah Smith to explore one of the biggest questions in tech: what exactly is artificial general intelligence (AGI), and how close are we to achieving it?They break down:Competing definitions of AGI — economic vs. cognitive vs. “godlike”Why reasoning alone isn't enough — and what capabilities models still lackThe debate over substitution vs. complementarity between AI and human laborWhat an AI-saturated economy might look like — from growth projections to UBI, sovereign wealth funds, and galaxy-colonizing robotsHow AGI could reshape global power, geopolitics, and the future of workAlong the way, they tackle failed predictions, surprising AI limitations, and the philosophical and economic consequences of building machines that think, and perhaps one day, act, like us. Timecodes: 0:00 Intro0:33 Defining AGI and General Intelligence2:38 Human and AI Capabilities Compared7:00 AI Replacing Jobs and Shifting Employment15:00 Economic Growth Trajectories After AGI17:15 Consumer Demand in an AI-Driven Economy31:00 Redistribution, UBI, and the Future of Income31:58 Human Roles and the Evolving Meaning of Work41:21 Technology, Society, and the Human Future45:43 AGI Timelines and Forecasting Horizons54:04 The Challenge of Predicting AI's Path57:37 Nationalization, Geopolitics, and the Global AI Race1:07:10 Brand and Network Effects in AI Dominance1:09:31 Final Thoughts  Resources: Find Dwarkesh on X: https://x.com/dwarkesh_spFind Dwarkesh on YT: https://www.youtube.com/c/DwarkeshPatelSubscribe to Dwarkesh's Substack: https://www.dwarkesh.com/Find Noah on X: https://x.com/noahpinionSubscribe to Noah's Substack: https://www.noahpinion.blog/ Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

In this episode, Erik Torenberg is joined in the studio by Dwarkesh Patel and Noah Smith to explore one of the biggest questions in tech: what exactly is artificial general intelligence (AGI), and how close are we to achieving it?They break down:Competing definitions of AGI — economic vs. cognitive vs. “godlike”Why reasoning alone isn't enough — and what capabilities models still lackThe debate over substitution vs. complementarity between AI and human laborWhat an AI-saturated economy might look like — from growth projections to UBI, sovereign wealth funds, and galaxy-colonizing robotsHow AGI could reshape global power, geopolitics, and the future of workAlong the way, they tackle failed predictions, surprising AI limitations, and the philosophical and economic consequences of building machines that think, and perhaps one day, act, like us. Timecodes: 0:00 Intro0:33 Defining AGI and General Intelligence2:38 Human and AI Capabilities Compared7:00 AI Replacing Jobs and Shifting Employment15:00 Economic Growth Trajectories After AGI17:15 Consumer Demand in an AI-Driven Economy31:00 Redistribution, UBI, and the Future of Income31:58 Human Roles and the Evolving Meaning of Work41:21 Technology, Society, and the Human Future45:43 AGI Timelines and Forecasting Horizons54:04 The Challenge of Predicting AI's Path57:37 Nationalization, Geopolitics, and the Global AI Race1:07:10 Brand and Network Effects in AI Dominance1:09:31 Final Thoughts  Resources: Find Dwarkesh on X: https://x.com/dwarkesh_spFind Dwarkesh on YT: https://www.youtube.com/c/DwarkeshPatelSubscribe to Dwarkesh's Substack: https://www.dwarkesh.com/Find Noah on X: https://x.com/noahpinionSubscribe to Noah's Substack: https://www.noahpinion.blog/ Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Episode 248 of RevolutionZ asks, what if the real danger of advanced AI isn't robots taking over the world, but humans willingly but unintentionally surrendering our humanity? What if AI need not go rogue for its collateral damage to fundamentally hurt humanity? What if our most likely dystopian future isn't machines battling us to death, but machines doing exactly what we ask—better than we ever could?AI is spreading through society at an unprecedented rate, with exponentially growing functionality. While critics point to potential limitations in data, computational resources, or energy requirements slowing AI's gains to a crawl, the industry continues to race toward Artificial General Intelligence and beyond.Picture a future where AI teaches your children more patiently than human teachers, diagnoses illness more accurately than human doctors, creates more beautiful art than human artists, and provides more satisfying companionship than other humans. Of course it isn't here yet. But is it coming? What happens to us if AI-guided robots do for us everything meaningful that we humans now do? Is that utopia or dystopia? What if we don't lose our humanity because machines force us to succumb, but because we prefer what AI offers until we are so dependent that to change course would be even worse than to suffer onIs this danger me hallucinating? Is it so subtle it doesn't exist or is it so profoundly dangerous we must pay serious attention? Will we become passive consumers of massive AI creativity? Will our uniquely human capacities  atrophy from disuse? Today's AI can already write not only letters but also novels, compose and play music, diagnose and treat illness,  hold conversations, provide sympathy, and also complete self chosen tasks. What's next? Is it time for us to demand serious regulation while we still can? Not only to protect jobs (a good reason), to prevent misuse by bad actors (a good reason), and to prevent a sci-fi robot apocalypse (maybe a Hollywood exaggeration), but to also protect the essence of what makes us human?Support the show

In schools with limited resources, large class sizes, and wide differences in student ability, individualized learning has become a necessity. Artificial intelligence offers powerful tools to help meet those needs, especially in underserved communities. But the way we introduce those tools matters.This week, Matt Kirchner talks with Sam Whitaker, Director of Social Impact at StudyFetch, about how AI can support literacy, comprehension, and real learning outcomes when used with purpose. Sam shares his experience bringing AI education to a rural school in Uganda, where nearly every student had already used AI without formal guidance. The results of a two-hour project surprised everyone and revealed just how much potential exists when students are given the right tools.The conversation covers AI as a literacy tool, how to design platforms that encourage learning rather than shortcutting, and why student-facing AI should preserve creativity, curiosity, and joy. Sam also explains how responsible use of AI can reduce educational inequality rather than reinforce it.This is a hopeful, practical look at how education can evolve—if we build with intention.Listen to learn:Surprising lessons from working with students at a rural Ugandan school using artificial intelligenceWhat different MIT studies suggest about the impacts of AI use on memory and productivityHow AI can help U.S. literacy rates, and what far-reaching implications that will haveWhat China's AI education policy for six-year-olds might signal about the global race for responsible, guided AI use3 Big Takeaways:1. Responsible AI use must be taught early to prevent misuse and promote real learning. Sam compares AI to handing over a car without driver's ed—powerful but dangerous without structure. When AI is used to do the thinking for students, it stifles creativity and long-term retention instead of developing it.2. AI can help close educational gaps in schools that lack the resources for individualized learning. In many underserved districts, large class sizes make one-on-one instruction nearly impossible. AI tools can adapt to students' needs in real time, offering personalized learning that would otherwise be out of reach.3. AI can play a key role in addressing the U.S. literacy crisis. Sam points out that 70% of U.S. inmates read at a fourth-grade level or below, and 85% of juvenile offenders can't read. Adaptive AI tools are now being developed to assess, support, and gradually improve literacy for students who have been left behind.Resources in this Episode:To learn about StudyFetch, visit: www.studyfetch.comOther resources:MIT Study "Experimental Evidence on the Productivity Effects of General Artificial Intelligence"MIT Study "Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task"Learn more about the Ugandan schools mentioned: African Rural University (ARU) and Uganda Rural Development anWe want to hear from you!

Martin Mawyer is president of Christian Action Network. Martin began his career as a journalist for the Religion Today news syndicate and as the Washington news correspondent for Moody Monthly magazine. In 1990 he founded the Christian Action Network. As Jim opened this edition of Crosstalk, he noted a just-released Newsmax story that someone used Artificial Intelligence-powered software to imitate Secretary of State Marco Rubio's voice and writing style in contacting foreign ministers, a U.S. governor and a member of Congress. It's thought that the offender was likely attempting to manipulate powerful government officials with the goal of gaining access to information or accounts. So exactly where is Artificial Intelligence (AI) going and into whose hands is it falling? If you haven't been concerned up to this point, consider that just recently Mark Zuckerberg announced the creation of META Super Intelligence Labs to propel the advancement from Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) to Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). ASI can hack into any system in existence such as water treatment systems. It can also break codes or even come up with biological weapons. However, what's even more concerning is his desire to make this open source. This means that anyone would have access to this super intelligence machine, and if they choose to, they could remove any human life parameters that are part of it in order to pursue unlawful goals.

Few technological advances have made the kind of splash –– and had the potential long-term impact –– that ChatGPT did in November 2022. It made a nonprofit called OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, household names around the world. Today, ChatGPT is still the world's most popular AI Chatbot; OpenAI recently closed a $40 billion funding deal, the largest private tech deal on record. But who is Sam Altman? And was it inevitable that OpenAI would become such a huge player in the AI space? Kara speaks to two fellow tech reporters who have tackled these questions in their latest books: Keach Hagey is a reporter at The Wall Street Journal. Her book is called “The Optimist: Sam Altman, OpenAI and the Race to Reinvent the Future.” Karen Hao writes for publications including The Atlantic and leads the Pulitzer Center's AI Spotlight Series. Her book is called “Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI.” They speak to Kara about Altman's background, his short firing/rehiring in 2023 known as “The Blip”, how Altman used OpenAI's nonprofit status to recruit AI researchers and get Elon Musk on board, and whether OpenAI's mission is still to reach AGI, artificial general intelligence.

In this installment, Daniel and Tom push deeper into the roots of economic anxiety, the morality of money printing, the logic (and danger) of debt, and why the “Monopoly game” always ends in revolution, collapse, or war. They ask what it will really take to avoid history's bloodiest outcomes — and whether the solutions are personal, systemic, or already out of reach.
