In July, the Trump administration released what it calls an AI action plan. In it, along with several executive orders, the White House lays out its vision for building and expanding the country's AI infrastructure.  Key tenets of that vision include removing regulatory hurdles and accelerating US dominance in the industry. It also has broad energy and security implications. So how could the administration's high-risk, high-reward approach increase US market share in AI? Will it create tensions with major AI companies while potentially democratizing access to AI capabilities? And how does the plan diverge from Biden-era AI support, especially around environmental and energy considerations? To discuss the action plan, we convened some of the leading AI experts at the Center for Global Energy Policy in early August, and this week on Columbia Energy Exchange we are sharing an audio recording of their discussion.  David Sandalow, CGEP's inaugural fellow and the host of the AI, Energy and Climate podcast, moderated the panel. David also co-directs the Energy and Environment Concentration at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University and was the lead author of the “Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation Roadmap” report for the Innovation for Cool Earth Forum. Aaron Bartnick, Jared Dunnmon, and Ashley Finan joined David on the webinar. Aaron Bartnick is a global fellow at CGEP, where he focuses on technology and economic security. He also serves as chief of staff at the neural engineering company Science Corporation and as a fellow at Carnegie Mellon University's Critical Technology Initiative. Jared Dunnmon is a non-resident CGEP fellow and the co-founder and chief scientist of a maritime logistics startup. He previously served in the Department of Defense as technical director for artificial intelligence at the Defense Innovation Unit, was vice president of future technologies at battery firm Our Next Energy, and was an early team member at Snorkel AI. Ashley Finan is a CGEP global fellow who previously served in senior leadership roles at Idaho National Laboratory, where she worked on nuclear energy and national security issues.  Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

When you think of Artificial Intelligence, does it inspire confidence, or concern?Although it's now generally accepted that this technology will play a major role in our future, a lot of conversations around AI and machine learning come back to the argument over us losing control and robots taking over.Happily, Neil Lawrence has a more optimistic view of the power of AI, and how we might navigate the potential pitfalls. Neil is the DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge, and over the course of his career has been involved in deploying AI and machine learning in both academic and commercial scenarios, with a stint at Amazon as well as working across fields as varied as movie animation, Formula 1 strategy, and medical research.Speaking with Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Neil says ultimately his efforts are all about making a difference to our everyday lives - and that we need to learn how to embrace AI, albeit with a healthy dollop of scepticism; not least when it comes to how our data is used, and the power of 'the digital oligarchy'...Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced for BBC Studios by Lucy Taylor Reversion for World Service by Minnie Harrop

Last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, “Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes”. Altman compared the widespread interest over Artificial Intelligence today, to the “tech bubble” of the late 1990s. But, the Magnificent 7 companies' valuations today are less than half what the top five technology companies were, at the peak of the dot-com bubble.With over 90% of S&P 500 index companies having already reported their Q2 results, earnings growth is settling in at 12.0%, and the consensus forecast of 4.8% for Q3 is starting to look too low. Higher-than-expected July producer prices and nominal retail sales may both be signalling that the full impact of tariffs is yet to come. We expect producers to pass on the increased cost to consumers in the months ahead.

AI is no longer just a buzzword—it's woven into more aspects of our lives everyday. But is it something to fear, or can it actually help us become more creative, conscious, and connected? In this conversation, we explore AI from both scientific and spiritual angles, looking at its potential as a tool for human evolution while also acknowledging valid concerns about reliability and environmental impact. We ask the bigger questions: How do we make sure technology serves us rather than controls us? And how do we preserve our ability to think critically and honor the divine nature of thought in a world increasingly shaped by machines?We're sharing our honest opinion about using AI thoughtfully and responsibly due to a comment on our episode 284. We explore how we believe that AI can spark creativity instead of stifling it, the importance of balancing technological innovation with environmental responsibility, and why emotional intelligence will matter even more as AI advances. This isn't about choosing between fear or blind optimism—it's about finding a perspective that keeps us empowered as humans while embracing the tools that can expand our creativity and consciousness.Referenced in this episode: The Kardashev scale - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale

AI is working its way into just about every aspect of modern life. I mean, who didn't fall for that video of the bunnies jumping on the trampoline. But artificial intelligence might not be the game-changer in warfare that you think it is...at least not in the short term.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/zeihan/the-revolution-in-military-affairs-artificial-intelligence

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Ritual Abuse, MK ULTRA, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, content creator and podcast host of her own YouTube channel called “From PTSD to a Graduate Degree', artist and creative, scientific innovator and revolutionary, my new friend, and a woman pushing the boundaries on overcoming fear and trauma: Amy BergerBorn on January 3, 1977, in Whitestone, NY, Amy emerged from a childhood shadowed by profound adversity. Raised in a severely dysfunctional home, Amy endured a mother's untreated PTSD and level 5 hoarding, alongside a father's emotional abuse and crack addiction. From ages 9 to 18, she suffered molestation by her half-brother, leaving deep emotional wounds that fueled fear, self-harm, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and teenage prostitution as a desperate survival mechanism. “I was not okay,” Amy reflects, her early years saturated with terror and devoid of tools to navigate it.1999, a seismic shift occurred. Amy began recovering suppressed memories of additional sexual abuse by family members and babysitters, followed by revelations of ritual abuse and MK ULTRA This turning point split her life into two: before memories and after. Through years of trauma therapy, she pieced together her psychological architecture, confronting paralyzing terror and periods of disability that left her reliant on social security.Yet Amy's story is one of relentless resilience. A few years ago, seeking distraction from fear, she returned to school - a decision that transformed her life. Now a senior Biology major at Worcester State University, Amy is poised to pursue a double master's in Biotechnology and Artificial Intelligence at WPI. Her ambition is laser-focused: to revolutionize synthetic biology by targeting the FAAH gene to eliminate the fear response at its genetic root. Inspired by the rare genetic mutation of Jo Cameron, who feels no pain or anxiety, Amy aims to rewrite the biochemical terms of terror, stripping away the leverage trauma and cult programming hold over survivors like herself.In her inspiring YouTube video series, From PTSD to a Graduate Degree, Amy shares her journey with raw honesty. “How do I do it?” she asks, detailing the scaffolding that supports her success: two trauma-specialized therapists, open communication with professors, healthy social connections, and a disciplined yet gentle study routine. Even on days when anxiety surges, Amy stays ahead, having only missed three classes in two years. Her scientific passion drives her to explore groundbreaking research, collaborating with AI to design a study on FAAH gene modulation to enhance fear extinction - a project she hopes to develop as a graduate thesis.Amy's vision is bold and personal: to create a world where no one feels the crippling fear she once did. Her journey from a shattered childhood to a pioneering scientist is a testament to the power of resilience, education, and an unwavering commitment to rewriting her story - and the future of human emotional experience. “I've come a tremendously long way,” she says on one of her YouTube videos, her voice a beacon of hope for others. With a groundbreaking study on FAAH gene modulation already taking shape, Amy isn't just healing herself - she's igniting a revolution, paving the way for a fearless future where every soul can find safety, stability, and boundless possibility - proving that even the deepest wounds can fuel extraordinary change.CONNECT WITH AMY: YouTube: @FromPTSDtoaGraduateDegree - Support the show

At Black Hat USA 2025, artificial intelligence wasn't the shiny new thing — it was the baseline. Nearly every product launch, feature update, and hallway conversation had an “AI-powered” stamp on it. But when AI becomes the lowest common denominator for security, the questions shift.In this episode, I read my latest opinion piece exploring what happens when the tools we build to protect us are the same ones that can obscure reality — or rewrite it entirely. Drawing from the Lock Note discussion, Jennifer Granick's keynote on threat modeling and constitutional law, my own CISO hallway conversations, and a deep review of 60+ vendor announcements, I examine the operational, legal, and governance risks that emerge when speed and scale take priority over transparency and accountability.We talk about model poisoning — not just in the technical sense, but in how our industry narrative can get corrupted by hype and shallow problem-solving. We look at the dangers of replacing entry-level security roles with black-box automation, where a single model misstep can cascade into thousands of bad calls at machine speed. And yes, we address the potential liability for CISOs and executives who let it happen without oversight.Using Mikko Hyppönen's “Game of Tetris” metaphor, I explore how successes vanish quietly while failures pile up for all to see — and why in the AI era, that stack can build faster than ever.If AI is everywhere, what defines the premium layer above the baseline? How do we ensure we can still define success, measure it accurately, and prove it when challenged?Listen in, and then join the conversation: Can you trust the “reality” your systems present — and can you prove it?________This story represents the results of an interactive collaboration between Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence.Enjoy, think, share with others, and subscribe to "The Future of Cybersecurity" newsletter on LinkedIn.Sincerely, Sean Martin and TAPE3________✦ ResourcesArticle: When Artificial Intelligence Becomes the Baseline: Will We Even Know What Reality Is AInymore?https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-artificial-intelligence-becomes-baseline-we-even-martin-cissp-4idqe/The Future of Cybersecurity Article: How Novel Is Novelty?

Summary In this candid live-stream conversation, Andy chats with content creator and project leader Stuart Taylor, the mind behind the Influential PMO platform and the Stuart Taylor Project YouTube channel. They dig into the difference between influencers and thought leaders, how to choose topics that genuinely help practitioners, and what to do when metrics don't match the effort. Stuart shares practical strategies for building professional visibility on LinkedIn and YouTube, including how to craft resonant messages, handle trolls, and focus on service over self-promotion. The discussion also explores Stuart's experiment asking whether AI could manage a project. Spoiler: AI is a strong team member for first drafts and research, but a weak project manager. They wrap with career advice for today's shifting job market, including why to think like an internal consultant and how to future-proof your career by learning in public. If you're looking for insights on personal branding, creator tactics, and AI's real role in project work, this episode is for you! Sound Bites Regarding AI: "It cannot be the project manager. It's spineless. It is a weakling leader." "There is no such thing as a permanent job anymore." “Share what you know and people will be drawn to you for what you are sharing.” “Learn to make a resonating message. Learn how to share value.” “I never did this to become internet famous… What problem do I want to solve? That's it.” “Because you don't understand how the algorithm works. You think your whole network's ignoring you, and in fact, all that's happened is maybe less than 10% of your network has seen the message before the algorithm realized that your message wasn't resonating.” “It will be the penny pinching execs who want to save a few dollars, who will take your job, and they'll replace it with a machine that can do 50% of your job for a fraction of your price, and they'll live with the 50% they can't do.” Chapters 00:00 Start of Live Stream 02:13 Thoughts on Influencers and Thought Leaders 05:28 Deciding on Video Content 07:34 Views and Metrics 14:41 The Creative Process and Challenges 18:28 Sharing Knowledge and Building a Community 18:49 Navigating Social Media: The Good, The Bad, and The Trolls 19:18 Handling Criticism and Building Connections 24:37 The Role of AI in Project Management 29:10 The Future of Work: AI, Automation, and Adaptation 36:24 Staying Curious and Embracing Change Learn More You can learn more about Stuart and his work here: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/skt Website: InfluentialPMO.com YouTube: Stuart Taylor Project Thank you for joining me for this episode of The People and Projects Podcast!

Big Thunder Topic from Trammin' Episode 276A long time ago, before we built a Galaxy's Edge Far Far away, before the big thunders of the mountain boomed, there was a simple land modeled after the wild frontier. It's King, Walt, named it Frontierland. A land of painted deserts, Indian villages, and... pack mule rides inside Disneyland? At least there was the sweet smell of maple syrup to cover that up.
