If you wanted a petri dish for understanding metaphors—how they emerge and evolve and jostle with each other—it would be hard to do better than the world of AI. We talk about AI systems variously as coaches or co-pilots, little genies or alien intelligences. Some researchers claim that AIs "grow," that they're entering their phase of "adolescence." Critics deride AI products as slop and dismiss LLMs as a kind of autocomplete on steroids. What's behind these different characterizations? Which ones are accurate and which are unfair? And are our metaphors mostly colorful rhetoric or do they matter? Are they shaping how we understand, adopt, and ultimately regulate these new technologies? My guest today is Dr. Melanie Mitchell. Melanie is a computer scientist and Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. She is the author of the book, AI: A Guide for Thinking Humans, and she writes a Substack by the same name. This episode is a bit of companion to our recent episode with Steve Flusberg. In that episode, Steve and I attempted a kind of crash course on metaphor and the human mind. Here, Melanie and I sit down for more of an extended case study: how metaphors are guiding, galvanizing, and maybe deceiving us in the contested realm of AI discourse. We unpack seven of the most widely used metaphors in this space. We consider how these metaphors are shaping not only our everyday understandings of AI, but also law and policy. We also talk about the metaphor and analogy capabilities of AI itself. Can these system reason abstractly in the way that humans can? Along the way, Melanie and I touch on: AI-generated poetry, anthropomorphism, the original sin of AI research, the myth of Narcissus, psychometric testing and its pitfalls, metaphors for AI that are a bit hard to spot, and the question of whether an AI has ever come up with a decent analogy for itself. Longtime fans of the show will know that we've had Melanie on the show once before. We invited her back, not only because she's thought about metaphor and analogy in AI discourse for decades, but because she's a voice of calm insight in an area that's increasingly awash in hype and polemic. Longtime fans of the show may also note that we are now celebrating our 6th birthday at Many Minds. That's right, the show launched in February 2020.

How often do you use ChatGPT to evaluate your ailments? Did it work? More and more people are turning to chatbots to diagnose their illnesses — with varied success. But when it does work, it can be life-changing. Dr. Dhruv Khullar heard of a case where ChatGPT identified the cause of one man’s years-long gastrointestinal struggles, in seconds. Given a medical system that can fail so many, Dr. Khullar started to wonder, “If A.I. Can Diagnose Patients, What Are Doctors For?” That’s the title of a recent piece he wrote for The New Yorker. Oz sits down with Dr. Khullar to see if there is an answer to this question. Additional Reading: If A.I.

Episode 345 – The Homeowner Show Hosted by Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams Time is flying… and so is technology. In Episode 350, Kevin and Craig kick things off talking about how fast the year is moving, what an El Niño season means for weather patterns, and even touch on a recent headline-making kidnapping case. It's the kind of real-life, real-time conversation you've come to expect — grounded, relevant, and honest. Then things get futuristic. Kevin shares how he used artificial intelligence — including ChatGPT and a voice AI called WhisperFlow — to diagnose and repair his refrigerator. Step-by-step troubleshooting. Real-time problem solving. No service call required. It's a fascinating look at how AI is becoming a practical tool for homeowners — not just a buzzword. From there, Craig fires up something a little more hands-on: a full review of the Gozney Arc portable pizza oven. He breaks down: Setup and accessories Performance and heat output (up to 950°F) Cooking technique (yes, you have to turn the pizza!) Dough experiments and topping combinations Portability and versatility (steaks, veggies, and more) What starts as a product review turns into a bigger conversation about food, family, and whether making pizza at home can actually beat ordering out. They dive into cost comparisons, ingredient quality, and the experience of cooking together — plus a quirky grocery store story involving pasta production and European food labeling. Bottom line? The Gozney Arc delivers. It's powerful, fun, and surprisingly approachable — whether you're a casual pizza night family or a backyard culinary enthusiast. Episode 350 is about more than AI and pizza. It's about modern tools, timeless skills, and creating better experiences at home. If you've ever wondered: Can AI actually fix real-world problems? Is a high-end pizza oven worth it? Is homemade really better? This episode answers all three. Tune in, experiment a little, and maybe make pizza night something your family looks forward to every single week.

"A deal is a deal." - All active discussions are halted on any USA/Europe trade deal The Potential Winners - Brazil and China may be the winners here - Chinese President Xi Jinping has a boost in bargaining power after the US Supreme Court invalidated Donald Trump's broad emergency tariffs, a key point of leverage over China. - The removal of tariff threats will make it harder for Trump to press Xi for larger purchases of certain products and leaves him without a key weapon to strike back if Chinese negotiators make fresh demands. - Xi's team will likely push harder for access to advanced semiconductors, the removal of trade restrictions on Chinese companies, and reduced US support for self-ruled Taiwan, according to Wu Xinbo, director at Fudan University's Center for American Studies. NVDA Earnings - NVIDIA drops its fiscal Q4 2026 (ended Jan 2025) results tomorrow—another make-or-break moment for the AI trade. - The bar is sky-high after years of blowout beats, but whispers of "peak AI" and slowing growth momentum have investors on edge. --- Consensus Expectations : ----Revenue: ~$65.6–$66.1 billion (up ~67–68% YoY from last year's ~$39B; guided $65B ±2% in prior report) ------EPS (adjusted/non-GAAP): ~$1.50–$1.53 (up ~70–72% YoY from $0.89). --------Gross margins: Targeting ~75% non-GAAP (holding strong despite supply chain noise). -----------Key driver: Data Center segment expected to crush ~$58–$60B, fueled by Blackwell ramp and hyperscaler spend. Home Depot Earnings - The home-improvement retailer gained 2.7% after posting fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.72 per share on revenues of $38.20 billion. - That exceeded the per-share earnings of $2.54 on revenues of $38.12 billion expected by analysts polled by LSEG. AMD News - The semiconductor maker rose about 11% after it inked a multiyear deal with Meta to lend up to 6 gigawatts of its graphics processing units to artificial intelligence data centers. - The cost of the deal is unclear, but the companies' agreement includes a a performance-based warrant that could amount to up to 160 million of AMD shares, according to a statement dated Tuesday. - Meta has committed to deploying up to 6 gigawatts (GW) of AMD's Instinct GPUs (high-end graphics processing units optimized for AI workloads) to power its massive AI data centers. - Analysts estimate the GPU portion alone could be worth $60–$100+ billion over 5+ years Mortgage Rates - The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 5.99% on Monday, according to Mortgage News Daily, matching its lowest levels since 2022. - Last year at this time the rate was 6.89%. - A buyer putting 20% down on the median priced home, about $400,000 according to the National Association of Realtors, would have a monthly payment of $1,916 for the principal and interest. One year ago, that payment would have been $2,105, a difference of $189. Life Insurance Record - Manulife Financial Corp. sold a $300 million life insurance policy in Singapore, topping what Guinness World Records certified as the most valuable policy ever issued. - The policy surpasses the previous record of $250 million, set by HSBC Life in Hong Kong in 2024. Manulife said in a statement Tuesday that the deal reflects growing demand from ultra-wealthy clients to preserve their assets. - In Singapore over the past 12 months, Manulife has issued 25 individual policies each worth more than $50 million. Bitcoin Rout - Gemini said it was axing as much as a quarter of its staff and exiting the UK, European Union and Australia entirely. - This week, it parted with its chief operating officer, chief financial officer and chief legal officer, all in a single day. - Its stock has fallen more than 80% from a post-listing high last year, collapsing its market value from a peak of almost $4 billion to under $700 million. Over the Greenland - USA sending a "hospital ship" over - Trump's post on the ship came hours after Denmark's Joint Arctic Command said it had evacuated a crew member who required urgent medical treatment from a U.S. submarine in Greenlandic waters, seven nautical miles outside of Greenland's capital, Nuuk. - Greenland said thanks but no thanks So Long! - U.S. investors are pulling money out of their own stock market at the fastest pace in at least 16 years as Big Tech returns fade and better-performing overseas markets look more attractive. - In the last six months, U.S.-domiciled investors have pulled some $75 billion from U.S. equity products, with $52 billion flowing out since the start of 2026 alone, the most in the first eight weeks of the year since at least 2010 AI Disruption - DOD (Disruption of Disrupters) - CrowdStrike -9.8% and other cybersecurity names under heavy pressure again as AI disruption fears build following Anthropic's Claude Code release - - Cybersecurity stocks are under broad pressure today, extending recent weakness following Friday's launch of Claude Code Security by Anthropic. Claude Code Security scans codebases for vulnerabilities and suggests software patches for human review, fueling a narrative that AI platforms may be moving more quickly into parts of the security workflow than investors had previously expected. For cybersecurity, that raises concern around the forward demand outlook and competitive positioning, particularly in areas tied to application security, cloud security, identity workflows, and security operations automation, where AI-native tools could start to narrow perceived differentiation. - The move suggests investors are still sorting through the implications for product overlap, pricing power, and competitive positioning as AI capabilities evolve quickly. - IBM shares dropping toward lows of the session; attributed to news that Claude can automate cobol modernization COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) is a high-level, English-like programming language created in 1959 for business, finance, and administrative data processing. It is renowned for its verbosity, readability, and reliability, processing massive amounts of transactions on mainframe systems,, notes NetCom Learning and IBM. Despite being decades old, it remains critical in banking, insurance, and government sectors. - It is estimated that 70-80% of the world's business transactions are processed by COBOL Grok's Prediction about Future of OpenAi/ChatGPT Scenario Likelihood (My Estimate) Key Factors Outcome for OpenAI/ChatGPT Thriving Leader Medium (40%) Sustained breakthroughs, partnerships (e.g., Microsoft), regulatory wins OpenAI as AI giant; ChatGPT as ecosystem hub for agents/robots Evolved Survivor High (50%) Adaptation to agents/hardware; mergers Exists but rebranded; ChatGPT integrated into daily life tools Decline/Acquisition Low (10%) Overcompetition, funding collapse Absorbed or legacy; ChatGPT commoditized or obsolete Quick check on Europe Shares - European company earnings growth is picking up this reporting season against a tentatively improving economic backdrop, but wary investors are demanding more than solid results to justify sky-high valuations. - Companies representing 57% of Europe's market capitalization have reported so far, achieving average earnings growth of 3.9% in the fourth quarter, ahead of estimates for a final result of a contraction of 1.1% --- That is a big differential.... +3.9 vs -1.1 Iran Talks - News over the weekend that Iran will look to discuss a variety of items and potentially get a deal.... energy, mining and aircraft - Best guess: Iran will string us along like Russia is doing and we will say we have some kind of bogus deal. --- There is some talk of US "going in" as we are building military presence. Supposedly there are some saying it could be a multi-week incursion. - What is the plan - Regime change? What is this? - A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Americans can't sue the U.S. Postal Service, even when employees deliberately refuse to deliver mail. - By a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled against a Texas landlord, Lebene Konan, who alleges her mail was intentionally withheld for two years. Konan, who is Black, claims racial prejudice played a role in postal employees' actions. - Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for a majority of five conservative justices, said the federal law that generally shields the Postal Service from lawsuits over missing, lost and undelivered mail includes “the intentional nondelivery of mail.” - So can ballots just be thrown in garbage for mail-ins for one party that will throw out another party's?

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
In this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm welcoming back Lauren Jacobs of The Cheerful Baker. You might remember Lauren as the incredibly talented cookie decorator who leveraged her appearance on the Christmas Cookie Challenge on Food Network to launch a cookie cutter subscription box. For years, she wondered whether her box was best suited for hobby bakers, business owners, or casual decorators. Instead of continuing to guess, she sent a short survey to her subscribers and gathered real feedback. Then she took that survey data, along with her subscriber list and demographic information, and uploaded it into ChatGPT to help her analyze it. What she received back was surprisingly detailed. It identified patterns in age, location, business ownership, and behavior that she had never clearly articulated before. For the first time, she felt confident that she understood who she was actually serving. The results didn't explode overnight, but they built steadily. She monitored her campaigns inside Ads Manager, allowed them time to optimize, and then made adjustments based on performance. One variation - a chicken-themed design - began outperforming everything else. She turned off the weaker ads and allowed Facebook to allocate the budget toward the winning creative. That single campaign brought in more than 80 new subscribers and nearly doubled her box. What changed was her understanding of acquisition cost and lifetime value. Once she understood how much it cost her to acquire a subscriber and how long that subscriber typically stayed, she stopped viewing ad spend as loss and began seeing it as investment. That shift in mindset removed a tremendous amount of fear. Then she exported four years of Shopify sales data and used ChatGPT to help her identify patterns in growth, seasonality, and subscriber behavior. The analysis revealed something powerful: her subscription had grown an average of 26% every year. It also showed clear seasonal trends in acquisition and cancellations. With that information, she built a subscriber growth forecast for the year. She matched her strongest themes with historically strong acquisition months. She set realistic monthly goals instead of vague annual hopes. And for the first time, she could see the year mapped out in front of her. Lauren's subscription box has paid for both of her sons' college tuition and living expenses. Her oldest is graduating this year. Her youngest is halfway through. Her goal was never to build a million-dollar business. It was to send her children into adulthood debt-free. And she has done exactly that. She has also grown into a confident, data-informed business owner along the way. What I love most about Lauren's journey is that she did not start out organized or analytical. She started by being creative, hopeful, and willing. Over time, she layered in systems, strategy, and data. That progression is available to anyone who is willing to implement what they learn. If you've been operating on instinct alone, this episode is your invitation to add structure to your creativity. The combination is powerful. Join me for this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast and learn how Lauren used surveys, data, and ads to transform her business without losing the heart behind it.

There are two things most people agree on — artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing, and the grave risks AI poses are very real — no one, not even ChatGPT, really knows how this will play out. Renowned “Godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton argues we need to put the brakes on AI development until we know for sure it can be kept safely under control.Owain Evans is a leading AI researcher and the founder/director of Truthful AI. In his 2025 Hinton lecture series, organized by the AI Safety Foundation, he discusses the risks presented by AI, the means at our disposal to keep it escaping human control, and the challenges of developing coherent, comprehensive strategies to prevent AI from becoming a menace to humankind.Have time for one more podcast?

Season 11 of Fixing Healthcare continues its shift away from the traditional top-down model of interviewing CEOs, policymakers and medical leaders to focus this week on something new, different and fascinating: listening to the generation that is inheriting this American healthcare system. In this episode, Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr speak with Grace Lynn Keller, VP at Executive Podcast Solutions, former Miss America contestant and the show's first-ever Gen Z guest. Grace brings a rare vantage point: Professionally, she is immersed in conversations with healthcare executives. Personally, she is part of the generation that consumes health information through social media, wearables and AI tools. For healthcare professionals, the conversation offers an important lens on how Gen Z gathers health information, how they decide when to seek care and what they expect from clinicians, insurers and government leaders. One insight stood out immediately. When asked where she would turn first with a non-emergency symptom, Grace answered without hesitation: ChatGPT. Her answer signals how much the healthcare landscape is changing. While Gen Z may turn to generative AI for initial medical advice, that is only one piece of a broader shift. In this conversation, Grace outlines how her generation is redefining health, prevention and trust. Key insights include: Verification Over Blind Trust. Gen Z does not simply accept what it reads online. Grace describes a culture of cross-referencing, double-checking and comparing sources across platforms before acting. Prevention As Identity. Her generation emphasizes whole foods, ingredient awareness and minimizing processed products. Health is considered a long-term lifestyle investment rather than reactive medical intervention. Wearables As Standard Equipment. Smart watches and rings are commonplace. Continuous data on sleep, movement, heart rate and hormonal cycles shape daily decisions and reinforce prevention. Convenience And Cost Sensitivity. Time away from work, co-pays and scheduling delays influence care decisions. If reliable AI-based treatment were available for routine conditions, many Gen Zers would use it immediately. Mental Health As Mainstream. Therapy is normalized. Work-life balance is considered protective, not indulgent. “Mental health days” may frustrate older generations but are viewed as necessary boundaries by younger workers. Skepticism Of Bureaucracy. Insurance complexity is a major frustration. Deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums and opaque pricing create confusion for first-time independent users. Demand For Transparency. Grace compares healthcare to e-commerce: if nearly every other industry offers clear pricing and frictionless purchasing, why not medicine? Alcohol And Cultural Moderation. Among her peers, alcohol consumption is more situational and less habitual. Health-conscious decision-making extends beyond diet and exercise. Education Gaps. Public school health education was limited largely to sex ed and anti-drug messaging. She sees schools as the only scalable venue to improve health literacy nationwide. There's so much more to this episode. Tune in to find out what the next generation of patients expects from doctors, nurses and healthcare leaders.

In this episode we answer listener questions covering emergency funds for higher and additional rate taxpayers, and inheritance tax considerations around beneficiary SIPPs. We also discuss whether couples should rebalance pension contributions, the key steps to take before retiring abroad, and what to know about DB pension transfers. Finally, we look at cross-border pension taxation using the UK–Denmark double taxation treaty as an example. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA40 01:20 Question 1 Hi Pete & Roger, Thanks for all your helpful and easy to understand information. I have only been on my financial wellbeing journey for a year. I work in the NHS and am in a higher tax bracket. I am fully enrolled in the NHS pension, more out of previous disinterest than any actual action on my part. I am single and currently saving up for a down payment on a house in about 4/5yrs. I maxed out my ISA last year and expect to do the same this year; this includes money for the down payment. I also took out a SIPP which I only recalled last year; I took it out 20+ years ago. However I am still waiting for a statement from the pension office before my accountant can work out how much more I can add to the SIPP. In the interim I have my emergency fund in a premium bond (20k) but am worried it's being eroded by inflation. I expect to be an additional tax payer in the next few years. Where should I keep my excess cash? More in premium bonds with no tax but erosion by inflation; or open GIA or more in high interest savings account and pay the tax? Or is there another option you would recommend? Btw I have £600 in crypto (Coinbase and Etherium) but don't plan to put more than £400 more in then plan to forget about it. It's a tiny fraction of what I put in my ISA. Thanks, Joy 04:46 Question 2 Dear Pete and Roger. Love the podcast. I think it is essential listening for those wanting to elevate their knowledge of the incredibly important subject of financial planning and it also highlights the value add that financial professionals can provide. My mother is 79 and has a comfortable guaranteed inflation linked income via state and civil service pension, which is supplemented by savings (maxed premium bonds & healthy cash savings) and investments held in ISAs and a beneficiary SIPP from my late father who passed before 75yrs old (therefore the assets are income and CGT free). My mother is keen to minimise the IHT on the estate both her and my father worked so hard to create. Despite her comfortable situation, I still have to encourage her to spend and use your very helpful '40% off sticker' analogy on a regular basis. It is my understanding that SIPPs will be subject to IHT and income tax from 2027. As my sister and I are both additional rate taxpayers, we will potentially be subject to 67% tax on any assets remaining in the SIPP if the estate is above £1m IHT threshold. While the '67% off sticker' analogy is even more helpful to encourage her spending, it has triggered some planning. We are drawing down the beneficiary SIPP to fund ISA each year for my mum – keeping the income and CGT tax benefits for my mum while removing it from the double income and IHT tax on death. As part of the IHT planning we are now considering regular gifts from surplus income. When combined with her guaranteed income, the assets in the beneficiary SIPP are more than sufficient so sustain her lifestyle until her age would be well into three figures. Based on my reading, it appears any drawdown from SIPPs are considered 'income' for gifting purposes, regardless of if they come from capital or income. Therefore she could start to draw more 'income' from the SIPP and gift this surplus which could be considered IHT free. Are there any limits to how much or how quickly she could reasonably drawdown from a SIPP so that it would no longer be considered 'income' by HMRC for IHT purposes? i.e could she empty the SIPP over a 5 yr period, gift that as excess income, then reduce the gifts to reflect a different income and or expenditure? While all the drawdown from SIPPs is considered 'income' for IHT purposes, the treatment of withdrawals from ISAs or other investments are distinguished between whether they are actually capital or income. Therefore, we have the added complication of needing to balance the 'income' drawdown from the beneficiary SIPP to make sure she doesn't eat into 'capital' of the ISAs and savings which would then mean the gifts from regular surplus income would then be considered part of the estate again. Our circumstances mean my mum feels slightly trapped between keeping the SIPP (so it is considered income for gifts from regular income but gets IHT taxed at 67%), continuing to use the beneficiary SIPP to fund ISAs (reduce IHT liability but lose flexibility to gift it as income), maybe change the investment engine of the ISAs from a lower yielding balanced solution to something with a higher natural yield, or do something else altogether (lump sum gifts and hope to survive 3yrs for taper or 7yrs). Any thoughts or suggestion would be appreciated. While there are some relatively niche circumstances, I think it covers two more broadly applicable IHT planning considerations SIPPs v ISAs under the new rules and regular gifts from surplus income. Thanks in advance Stephen 17:06 Question 3 Hi Pete and Roger Thank you both for your continued help in navigating the financial maze and I am enjoying the listener questions. My wife works part time and is a basic rate tax payer. She pays into her workplace pension and contributes an additional 15%. Her pension provider receives 20% tax relief on these contributions. I am a higher rate tax payer and I make contributions to a SIPP. My pension provider receives 20% tax relief and I claim an additional 20% directly from HMRC. As a couple, we could stop making the additional contributions to my wife's pension and instead make them into my SIPP. This would give us an additional 40%, rather than 20%. Mathematically this makes sense. We haven't done this so far, as I like the idea that we are equally contributing to both of our pensions, for the future. It also helps keep things simple. I am mindful that one day, we may kick ourselves for not making this simple switch which may leave us with a significantly bigger pot, when we need it. What options would you consider in this decision of splitting pension contributions. Many thanks, Rob 20:17 Question 4 Dear Pete & Rog, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your podcast and the incredibly valuable information you share. Your conversations are not only insightful but also reassuring as I start to think more seriously about my own retirement planning! One of the things I'm considering is retiring abroad (somewhere sunny!) Spain most likely, and I wondered if you might explain the process you go through with such clients. Specifically, do you have a checklist, or a list of key questions, that you typically ask clients to work through before moving overseas? For example, I've learned that ISAs are not recognised in many EU countries (so it may be better to sell before leaving), and I imagine there are similar considerations around SIPPs/UK DC pensions and other investments. Do you also tend to liaise with financial planners or accountants based in the EU when helping clients prepare for such a move? I would be very grateful for any wisdom you could share. Thanks again for all the work you put into the podcast, it really does make a difference. Warm regards, Chloe 24:55 Question 5 Hi Pete, Love the podcast. Very informative and user friendly. I have a question, once popular but maybe not so much now and one that will make advisers sweat again! I'm a sophisticated investor (so to speak!), I manage my own SIPP etc and I'm an accountant so I guess I have a head start over most people. I have a net worth excluding my house of circa £2.5m spread across a SIPP, ISA, FIC and GIA. I also have an old DB pension. I'm 59. It pays out circa £6,500 from the age of 65. My dad died aged 63. Given my circumstances I want to transfer the DB scheme into my SIPP. I have two children so would like them to get it rather than die with me so to speak. The last transfer value I got was pre covid at circa £100k which I know isn't a brilliant multiple but I'm happy with that. I'm fit and healthy but I'm not relying on the guaranteed pension given my other pension provisions. So, firstly is it likely the transfer value would have gone up or down given the increase in interest rates and secondly do you think I could get a positive recommendation from an adviser? Thanks, Oscar 31:35 Question 6 Dear Pete and Roger, Love the podcast. I'm a bit more of an adventurous investor than you usually caution, but you provide a certain "passive-tracker-Yin" to my "property-investment-Yang". Given your backlog I'm going to ask you a pension question that I probably don't have to think about for 20 years, so you have time to get to it. I worked in Denmark for several years and paid into a pension scheme while I was there. I believe it is structured similarly to a UK DB pension scheme. There is an initial lump sum plus an income for life. This pension fund is not covered by QROPS, so there is no transferring my way out of this complexity. The Danish pension fund thinks I'll be paying Danish income tax (presently 37-38%), Chat GPT is adamant that I'll be paying UK Tax. Who's right? If taxed in the UK I can imagine getting the tax free cash allowance right might be complicated. Is there anything else I should be considering? Best Wishes, James

I had years and years and years ago now, like way too long to even count, I had a manager one time and she said, Tiff, I want you to start joining the KPI meetings on Thursdays with the CPA doc and I. And I said, okay. And then I ran over to my computer and I was like, Google, what is KPI? What does KPI mean? I was like, I'll be there. That sounds great. This is like growth for me. You're putting me in. I was like, yep, I'll be there. And then I was like, what does this mean? So if you don't know what it means, you're not using them, you are not alone. I had to Google that once upon a time. And that was before Chat GPT. I feel like I would have been so much better off if I had that to break it down for me. But alas, here we are. And Kristy, I love KPIs. I love black and white decision making. I love any opportunity we have that we can remove some emotion. from a decision, especially in the dental industry. We have a lot of emotions in the dental industry and being able to remove those and say that yes or no something is or isn't working. And my favorite piece of that is when we do that, Kristy, I think it gives us the opportunity to tackle the system and not make it personal about the person. Like it might not be that you suck. it's that the system's not working or we're not using it correctly. And if that's the case, I'm fine. We start using it correctly or we alter it. But I think, Kristy, it makes me feel a lot better about accountability and about KPIs and just about leading teams when it's less about a feeling and a person and more about the system. So I'm excited. Kristy, tell me, why do you love KPIs? The Dental A Team (03:41) Yeah, for the same reason, Tip, because so many times we see people focused on the wrong thing. And when you really dial into the metrics, they start to tell a story, right? And sometimes even metrics can look a little bit deceiving, but that's why I like to say the numbers start to tell a story. And then we get to dig into it and figure out the story. So, you know, just in saying that, I think if I wasn't doing what I was doing, I would be some kind of detective. And I mean, The Dental A Team (04:09) I think you would too. The Dental A Team (04:10) Maybe that's why it's so exciting for me, but like, and it's truth, right? The numbers don't lie. And so a lot of times we have misperceptions on things and that's the human aspect. So to give grace on us, and I also feel like what we measure expands, it grows, right? And so if we're focused on the wrong thing, what do we get more of? And so, The Dental A Team (04:33) Mm, true. The Dental A Team (04:40) I just think it's the fastest way to make improvements. And it's kind of funny Tiff, because in other things we do, if we want to lift weights or we want to lose weight, what do we do? Get on the scale or we're like, we lift 50 pounds. my gosh, I added another weight. We measure it really well, but in dentistry it's like taboo. ⁓ we can't do it. Like it's so bizarre, right? But I just, again, it's the true measure. We talked about this. The Dental A Team (05:02) I agree. The Dental A Team (05:07) on a different podcast of winning. It truly lets us know if we're winning or losing, and maybe we'll focus on the wrong thing, right? I know you've heard it a zillion times. Doctors come on, need more new patients. I need more new patients. I need more new patients. And we look at their outstanding treatment list and it's like $3 million. And I'm like, do you really know what you mean? Right? So again, sometimes it lets us win faster because we can breathe direct and focus on The Dental A Team (05:26) You for sure. The Dental A Team (05:37) what's really gonna get us there. The Dental A Team (05:40) Yeah, I love that you said that. I love the idea of focusing on the wrong thing because I think we do that a lot. focus on the negative, right? We're like, what was our attrition rate instead of what's our new patient and our active patient count? Are those growing? Because if our new patient count and our active patient count are growing, attrition's fine. But if we're looking at attrition rate, we're like, how many are we losing? We're grasping. It's a different kind of energy and that will grow. So if you're looking at it, you want your attrition to grow, then keep watching it. If you want your active patient count to grow, keep watching it. And if it's not growing, then you tackle the systems and assume attrition is happening. So I love that you said that because it broke it down, I hope for everyone, a little bit differently there. And our podcast today is How KPIs Drive a Practice. And I think in that simple statement and those two minutes you were just talking, you just broke it down, like verbatim on how it drives a practice because what you focus on will grow no matter what. you're right, it's so everything in our life, we count everything. Like it's just human nature to count and track everything we do. We track our money, we track our expenses, we track our weights, we track our weight, we track everything that we do, we track our gas mileage. know, my sister's always like, ah, I got 16 gallons or whatever. I need to go get the best gas price. And I'm like, girl, I don't. I don't know what she's like, what is your car get? I'm like, I have no idea. But there's, know, she's tracking that. But like, then we go into a dental office, it's like, don't talk numbers. Don't talk numbers. Don't track it. Because that's going to make somebody feel bad. It's like, no, we're going to track it. We're going to see that we're winning. And we're going to feel really, really good. Like my sister, sometimes she comes home and she's like, ah, I guess mileage was down. Sometimes she comes home and she's like, guess what? Simple. But that's how simple it can be. doesn't have to be astronomical, but those small wins add up to something astronomical. And I have had so many clients that, I've had clients that have purchased practices, they're like, all right, when are we starting marketing? I'm like, well, what do you mean? You've got, like, what's your patient count? What's your active patient count? And then what's the total patient count of that practice? Because you have, every patient right now is a new patient. Starting marketing, is a wild use of your money. Let's internal market, let's get your exams better. There's so many different avenues that we think are just the norm, so we jump on board with them. But then when we pull and extract those actual KPIs, we can find the root of what we need and the root of any problems that there might be, any systems that need to be revamped. So I love that, because that's how you're driving success, by watching the KPIs. Kristy, and you've got, I hope everyone knows, I don't say it every time, but Kristy's done so much in her dental career and held so many titles and she's consulted for far longer than she's even been a presence here at the Dental A Team. We're so grateful for her. Kristy, in all of your experience, what do you feel are the easiest KPIs to start tracking if we're not tracking any? And then what are the most valuable KPIs maybe that people don't think of? The Dental A Team (08:53) Ooh, that's deep. Obviously, I think we have to look at it as like two different forks in the road, right? Because so many times we hear the practice of a million dollars and then we hear the practice of six million. And I think doctors, you guys get all ramped up and think if I'm the million dollar guy, why am I the six million dollar guy? And I'm thinking, wait, wait, you don't necessarily want to be that guy. You're actually more profitable than, you know. The Dental A Team (08:55) I I like that one. Correct. The Dental A Team (09:22) So it's not just what's happening in the practice, but also how profitable you are, right? And truly us here at the Dental A Team, we're looking to make sure you're hitting that profitability because that's where the true freedom is. But with that being said, the biggest KPIs out of the gate is what do I need to hit every month to be profitable? And then I measure my production, net production. and collections. And ⁓ I am going to throw new patients in there, but in a different way, because doctors do want new patients and a lot of times they're getting them. But don't just look at how many I'm getting. Look at how many are reappointing. ⁓ you know, it's one thing that you're getting them and you might be doing limited, limited and letting them go out the back door. So again, look at those, but also put more weight on how many are getting reappointed. And then ⁓ I also like doctors to look at diagnostics, dollars and diagnostic or sorry, acceptance dollars and percentage. ⁓ They go hand in hand. It can't just be percentage of acceptance because maybe I'm not accepting enough to even get to that goal. Yeah. The Dental A Team (10:31) case acceptance. Yes, yes, I love those. Yeah. The Dental A Team (10:46) And lastly, probably in that tip would be your reappointment rate. How many are we reappointing? Because keep those patients of yours. Don't have to spend so many external dollars to gain more because if we just keep what we have and too often we look at how many people are sitting in our inactive pile or we don't look at it and you have a whole nother practice sitting there that you could tap into. The Dental A Team (11:13) Yeah, I love that. I love what you said about the case acceptance dollars, the diagnostics and the case acceptance dollars. I too have doctors, I love having them ⁓ track their diagnosis and then their dollars. Number one, I hated being a treatment coordinator that had no control over how much was being diagnosed and only initially when I was treatment coordinator, were really only looking at case acceptance, which is very popular. So case acceptance, case acceptance, and then they're like on your neck and that call these three people, why didn't these, like call the people and like I have called all the people. I can't, and we have so many clients, right, that the TC's are like I've called all the people, Tiff, can't, Kristy, I can't call anymore. Cool, it might not be in the case acceptance. Sometimes it's in the diagnosis and then to loop back to your new patient statement, all of those go so hand in hand and this is why, ⁓ heaven help me, this is why. things like our scorecards, clients of Dental A Team that talk about the scorecard. This is why the scorecard is so important because you can look at a dental analytics screen and it's choppy, all over the place. The scorecard brings it together so that you can see what's affecting something else because to your point of the new patients, I had a practice near and dear to my heart. He hit his massive goal this year and I'm so proud of him. We worked really hard on, it was, you know, Timelined out for five years and he hit it literally two weeks before his deadline, his date. One of the things that was holding his practice back was the new patients. He needed more new patients, needed more new patients, so his marketing company is like, all right, we're gonna ramp up new patients. And then all of a sudden we've gotten new patients, but it's like, we're not growing. There's nothing on the schedule, what's happening? And so I said, okay, what kind of new patients? And we had so many emergency, limited, transient, going through town, looking for an emergency. He was doing a lot of same day dentistry, but not getting things booked on the schedule and not really adding to his patient count, because there wasn't reappointments happening. When we dialed that in, we found that and I was like, here's the key, switched his marketing, his new patients went up, Then we focused in on his case acceptance. And then like you said, with the dollars, we're seeing, are they accepting fillings? Are they accepting crowns? Are we getting the near cases? Like what is the case acceptance percentage is cool, but what are we actually, what's the procedure that's being the dollar amount and is there a ceiling maybe in our treatment planning, either back office, front office, wherever it is, is there a ceiling that our system needs to be able to help us overcome in diagnosing a certain dollar amount or treatment planning a certain dollar amount? The Dental A Team (14:03) Yeah, I love that you say that, And as the TC, that's the one that gets me because so many doctors go back up there or come to us and say, they're just not closing it. And I always tell my practices, case acceptance is a team sport. And literally, it starts from before they even call the office. Like everything you're doing is contributing to their trust. And so ⁓ truly, docs, I know you don't want to hear this, but it's your job to get them to yes with treatment and ⁓ financial coordinators get them to yes financially. So some of them can work heroics and they do, but it is totally a team sport. So going back to the diagnostics too, you asked a tool that I use ⁓ that maybe isn't so looked at. And I would say print your procedure count report yearly and just take a look, you know? Are you doing four surface fillings? And I'm not saying that you shouldn't, but is it aligning with your philosophy? And are you giving patients the choice for long-term care? Because sometime that probably four surface filling is going to turn into something, you know? And let your patients decide. Let them decide. The Dental A Team (15:18) Yeah. Yes, I love that I have worked with many practices that they do give the options, but they assume that their patient base wants something specifically or can only afford something specifically. So they may give the options, but they kind of talk them into starting with something and started just leaving it on the table and saying what, if this were your mouth and roles were reversed, that we often say, this were your mom, if this were your sister, if this were your brother. But I like to think, what if we were in different seats and the patient or the dentist, you were sitting in that chair, what would you want someone to tell you? Because you might even still err on the side of like, mom, when it happens, we'll fix it, but like, let's just do this patch for now, right? Because I don't, we don't want to get you numb. Like you might still err on that side for a family member, the, know, quote unquote conservative, but if you were sitting in that chair, what would you want the dentist to say to you? And I think that makes a massive difference. And that is like your detectiveness, right? That's your detectiveness, but it works and it's what practices need sometimes. And I think, Kristy, part of those pieces, and you showed me your AR thing yesterday and how you diagnose that. And sometimes we do have to go to those spaces. The Dental A Team (16:17) Yeah. Yeah. The Dental A Team (16:40) because you can't see it in the other areas. like, gosh, something is here, but that's why you look at those KPIs that are gonna drive success. And then when one of them isn't working, when one of them isn't hitting the metric that you want it to, you dive deeper. You're not just going to say, okay, every month let's pull the procedure code report. You're gonna say, if case acceptance, if we're not hitting production, case acceptance isn't working or diagnosis isn't working, now we're gonna dig a little bit deeper. I think what tends to happen is we either go surface and we're like, everything's fine and we ignore issues or we go so deep that we're in the weeds and nobody has time to see the patients. We're just pulling reports all the time. The Dental A Team (17:20) Yeah, it's so funny. So much psychology goes into it, right? Like our doctors get so upset in dentistry. I remember like doctors thinking, well, we're the only ones that do free consults. Medical doctors don't do free consults. Why do we do it in dentistry? You know what I mean? But yet we also complain, my schooling costs so much and they don't want to pay me what I'm worth, you know? And it's like, Almost everything, it's funny when we get into it and I work with clients, I'm like, we kind of caused it. We taught them. How many times do we answer the phone and we go, do you have insurance before we even know their name? You know? So it's funny. It's like an oxymoron in a way, but I love that you brought that up because many times we do it to ourselves. The Dental A Team (18:10) Yeah, yeah, we just spin our wheels on something, to find it and trying to get it right in an industry where nobody's taught how to do this stuff. guys, doctors learned how to be dentists and that's it. It's a rare occasion that you come across anybody who is taught how to run a dental practice. And dental is different than medical. So even healthcare professionals, right? People who have a degree in healthcare management, it's different. This is why we're here. This is what we do. This is this is years and years. mean, across the whole Dental A Team team, like we should count that up. That'd be a lot of years. I don't even know anymore. We've grown to so many consultants. I don't even want to try to count that right now. We'll do that later. We'll ask Josh to do that for us. But regardless, there's so much wealth of knowledge here in. The Dental A Team (18:57) Yeah. The Dental A Team (19:04) ensuring that and we've done such a great job at finding the solutions and the systems to at least get templates and things started to customize for practices. I think that's just an immense value that consultants like the Dental A Team bring is that space of uniformity. these are things that we've seen work. Let's start here and then let's layer on top for you and let's adjust it for your practice and your team. and those KPIs that drive success, pretty universal. And you said, you know, the common ones, production collections, new patients, diagnosis, case acceptance, and I loved your reappointment rate for new patients and just in general, those tell you the stories. And then from there, we dig and dive deeper. So I love it, Kristy. Thank you so much. think if I were to give an action item, it would be to revamp. your KPIs if you're digging too deep and grab some new ones if you're not going deep enough, if that makes sense. So, Kristy, anything else you'd like to add? The Dental A Team (20:09) No, I love it. The only thing I would say, Tip, I know you have the saying down better, but use, love the numbers, right? Don't use them as sticks, is that? The Dental A Team (20:17) Yeah. Yes, yes, numbers are here to guide us. They're stars to guide us. They're not sticks to beat ourselves up with. Yeah, years and years of presenting with Kiera. Awesome, well you guys, go check your KPIs, go check your scorecards. If you're a Dental A Team client, you should have a scorecard. If you don't, get after your consultant. Everyone has scorecards this year, so we're good to go. But if you don't know how to use it or if you're confused by it, The Dental A Team (20:26) There you go. Love it. Yeah. Love it. ⁓ The Dental A Team (20:48) or if you're not a Dental A Team client yet and you want information on it, please by all means reach out. We're here to help you.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner who is thinking about integrating AI into your firm? In this episode of the Center Stage Podcast, host Danny Decker welcomes back Tyson Mutrux, founder of a thriving St. Louis personal injury law firm and host of podcast, Maximum Lawyer. Tyson shares updates on his firm's growth, practical AI integration, and the challenges and opportunities AI brings to the legal industry. Tyson shares his approach to AI and automation within his law firm and how others can integrate it into theirs. To get started with using AI, it is best to tackle the low hanging fruit tasks as ways to ease into it. This could be tasks like scheduling meetings for clients. If you can show your team where the improvements are in your systems, it is easier to get them on board to adopting an AI tool. From there, you can move on to larger and more complicated systems.There is a double-edged sword that AI brings that law firm owners need to realize. Although AI has increased productivity and accuracy for completing all sorts of tasks in the legal field, the problem arises where tools like ChatGPT are allowing clients to do some of the work that lawyers would normally charge for. One example for business law and estate planning is document drafting, which clients are using ChatGPT to do instead of paying a lawyer to do it. This is something lawyers need to think about when integrating AI into their practices. Think about what aspects of law could benefit from AI but will still bring you clients and make you money.Listen in to learn more!3:34 - Approach to AI & Automation8:34 - AI's Double-Edged Sword in Legal Industry14:33 - Performance Optimization & Mindset22:20 - Vendor Review Service26:16 - Maximum Lawyer Community OverviewConnect with Danny:Website Linkedin X Youtube Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Amazon sellers are entering a new era of product discovery, and AI visibility is becoming part of the playbook. In this episode, Scott sits down with Yona, founder of Amazon Growth Lab, to break down how brands can improve visibility across both Amazon's ecosystem (Rufus, Cosmo, organic search) and external LLMs like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Yona explains why traditional keyword stuffing is fading, how Amazon is evolving toward context and use-case relevance, and why listing content now needs stronger sentiment alignment across titles, bullets, A+ content, and images. They also dig into the difference between Amazon visibility and LLM visibility. Since LLMs often do not scrape Amazon product pages directly, Yona shares why off-Amazon signals like press, community mentions, and helpful content can influence whether products get recommended in AI answers. The conversation also covers a practical conversion playbook for 2026, including CTR optimization, image testing, PickFu workflows, conversion benchmarking, reviews, and iterative A/B testing for infographics and A+ content. If you want a clear breakdown of what's changing in Amazon search, AI discovery, and conversion strategy, this episode is packed with actionable ideas.

Artificial intelligence has been raising foundational questions for patent law long before generative tools entered the mainstream. In this episode of Clause 8, host Eli Mazour speaks with Wen Xie, U.S. Patent Attorney and Founder of Lux Lumen Intellectual Property, about how legal thinking around AI, inventorship, and patent eligibility has evolved—and where it appears to be heading.The conversation traces early debates sparked by the DABUS cases, which framed AI inventorship as a question of whether a machine could be named as an inventor. While those cases clarified that U.S. patent law requires a human inventor, they also highlighted a more practical issue that remains unresolved: how to evaluate human contribution when AI tools play a role in the inventive process, including in areas such as industrial design.The episode also examines the USPTO's shifting approach to AI-related inventions, from post-Alice uncertainty to more recent Section 101 guidance and new USPTO Director's John Squires Ex parte Desjardins PTAB decision. Wen discusses how applicants can position AI inventions as genuine technological improvements, avoid overreliance on “black box” disclosures, and manage Section 112 risks.The discussion concludes with a forward-looking look at using AI tools for patent practice, the USPTO's new pilot for AI-powered pre-examination search, and what these developments mean for practitioners and innovators navigating a rapidly changing IP landscape.Watch the full episode or listen on your favorite podcast app—and subscribe to the new Clause 8 YouTube channel for bonus content.Presented by Tradespace – where ideas take flight.Chapters00:01 – Wen Xie's early interest in AI and patent law02:10 – AI disruption before ChatGPT: imaging, medicine, and automation04:56 – How AI reshaped Wen's legal career05:55 – DABUS, Thaler, and the AI inventorship debate08:56 – Human contribution vs. AI output10:40 – Should companies restrict inventors from using AI?11:59 – What in-house counsel should ask about AI use14:20 – Duty of candor, recordkeeping, and litigation risk18:06 – Section 101 and AI as technological improvement22:50 – USPTO guidance, PTAB trends, and examiner behavior32:01 – Section 112 issues and describing machine learning33:40 – Using generative AI in patent drafting39:40 – Advice for junior attorneys in an AI-driven practiceDisclaimer This is a public episode.

BOSSes, Anne Ganguzza and Tom Dheere (The VO Strategist) ring in the new year with a reality check on modern voiceover career strategy. In an industry increasingly influenced by AI and market saturation, the "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach is no longer viable. This episode is a deep dive into the power of focus—mastering one genre at a time, picking the right marketing portals, and closing the "relevance gap" by becoming a high-level human storyteller. Chapter Summaries: The Relevance Gap and AI (10:45) Tom introduces the "relevance gap"—the widening space between aspiring talent and working professionals. He argues that AI is rapidly consuming low-budget, entry-level work. To remain relevant, talent must move beyond simply "reading well" and invest in high-level storytelling skills (acting, improv, etc.) that AI cannot yet replicate. The Danger of the Multi-Demo Rush (03:55) The hosts notice a troubling trend: new talent getting five demos produced before they've mastered a single genre. This lack of focus leads to "sucking at everything." Anne emphasizes that even 20 coaching sessions might not be enough to reach the competitive level required for a professional demo in today's saturated market. Passion vs. Pragmatism: Reconciling Your Goals (15:19) While many enter VO wanting to do anime or video games, the market for corporate, e-learning, and medical narration is significantly larger. Tom suggests a pragmatic voiceover career strategy: use "bread and butter" genres like corporate work (where there are over 33 million potential clients) to fund your passion projects in character and animation work. The Myth of Social Media ROI (24:34) Tom reveals startling statistics on social media ROI for voice actors: Facebook (0.77%) and Twitter (0.69%) pale in comparison to LinkedIn (2.74%). While still low, LinkedIn represents a business-minded audience. The hosts warn that "enpoopification"—the decline of social media quality due to algorithms and AI—makes it harder than ever to find work through standard posting. The "New SEO": Getting Found by Chatbots (27:39) Anne shifts the focus to a forward-thinking strategy: SEO for AI. Companies are increasingly asking chatbots like ChatGPT or Claude for voice actor recommendations. To stay competitive, talent must populate their websites and blogs with high-quality, human-written content that these bots can index and recommend. The 2026 Focus Challenge (30:21) Tom issues a challenge to all VO Bosses: Pick one genre, one casting site, and one social media platform to focus on this year. By concentrating energy rather than scattering it, talent can build true momentum and authority in a specific corner of the market. Top 10 Takeaways for Voice Actors: Close the Relevance Gap: Invest in professional acting and storytelling training to stay ahead of AI-generated voices. Focus on One Genre First: Master the nuances and audience of one genre before producing a demo or marketing yourself in another. Market Pragmatism: Target the corporate and e-learning markets for consistent cash flow while you build your "passion" skills in animation. Avoid "Demo Bundle" Traps: Be wary of packages offering multiple demos for a deal; quality training takes time and individual focus for each genre. Audit Your Marketing Portals: Don't join every pay-to-play site at once. Pick one that aligns with your primary genre and master its algorithm. Prioritize LinkedIn: For B2B genres like corporate narration, LinkedIn offers a significantly higher ROI than other social platforms. Optimize for AI Search: Ensure your website's FAQ and Home pages are rich with pertinent information so chatbots can find and recommend you. Use Low-Budget Sites as Proving Grounds: Use sites like Fiverr or Casting Call Club for practice and project management experience, not as a final career destination. Human Content Wins: Write blogs and website copy with a "human-first" approach to reclaim search authority from AI-generated spam. The Foundation is Acting: Foundational acting skills are transferable across all genres. Master the craft first, and the genre proficiency will follow.
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into post-injury rehabilitation is transforming recovery paradigms by enabling personalized, adaptive, and efficient rehabilitation pathways tailored to individual patient needs. This podcast reviews the current advances in AI applications that facilitate assessment, monitoring, and optimization of rehabilitation programs following injuries. Through machine learning algorithms, wearable sensors, and predictive analytics, AI enhances the precision of therapy plans, tracks patient progress in real-time, and predicts recovery trajectories. The discussion includes the benefits of AI-driven rehabilitation, including improved functional outcomes, reduced recovery times, and increased patient engagement. It also addresses challenges such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and integration with clinical workflows. 1. Transforming recovery paradigms Traditional post‑injury rehab relies on periodic in‑person assessments, therapist intuition, and standardized protocols that only partially account for individual variability. AI is shifting this model toward: Continuous, data‑driven care: Instead of snapshots in clinic, rehab can be informed by near real‑time streams of kinematic, physiological, and behavioral data from wearables, smart devices, and robot interfaces. Dynamic adaptation: Therapy intensity, task difficulty, and exercise selection can be automatically adjusted based on ongoing performance, fatigue, and recovery trends, rather than fixed schedules. Precision rehabilitation: Algorithms can identify which patients are likely to respond to specific interventions (e.g., constraint‑induced movement therapy vs robotics) and tailor plans accordingly. This moves rehabilitation from a "one‑size‑fits‑many" paradigm toward precision, context‑aware therapy, analogous to precision oncology but focused on function and participation. 2. Assessment, monitoring, and optimization AI for assessment Sensor‑based movement analysis: Machine learning models process accelerometer, IMU, EMG, and pressure data to quantify gait symmetry, joint kinematics, balance, and fine motor control with higher resolution than visual observation alone. Automated scoring: AI can approximate or support standardized scales (e.g., Fugl‑Meyer, Berg Balance Scale) by mapping sensor features or video-derived pose estimates to clinical scores, reducing inter‑rater variability and saving clinician time. Continuous monitoring Home and community tracking: Wearable and ambient sensors enable monitoring of daily steps, walking speed, arm use, posture, and adherence to exercises outside the clinic, feeding rich longitudinal datasets into AI models. Real‑time alerts: Algorithms can detect abnormal patterns—such as increased fall risk, reduced limb use, or signs of over‑exertion—and flag the clinician or adjust digital therapy content automatically. Optimization and decision support Predictive models: Using historical data, AI can forecast functional gains, plateau points, or risk of complications (e.g., falls, readmission), supporting individualized goal‑setting and resource allocation. Reinforcement learning and "digital twins": Emerging work in neurorehabilitation treats rehab as a sequential decision problem, using model‑based reinforcement learning and patient "digital twins" to recommend optimal timing, dosing, and progression of interventions over weeks to months. 3. Technologies: ML, wearables, analytics Machine learning algorithms: Supervised ML classifies movement quality (normal vs compensatory), detects exercise type from sensor streams, and estimates clinical scores. Unsupervised learning clusters patients into phenotypes (e.g., gait patterns after stroke), revealing subgroups that respond differently to certain therapies. Reinforcement learning and contextual bandits explore which therapy adjustments yield the best long‑term functional outcomes for a given individual. Wearable sensors and robotics: Inertial sensors, EMG, pressure insoles, and exoskeleton sensors capture high‑frequency movement and muscle activity data during training. Robotic devices (upper‑limb exoskeletons, gait trainers) coupled with AI can modulate assistance, resistance, or task difficulty in real time based on performance and predicted fatigue. Predictive and prescriptive analytics: Predictive analytics estimate trajectories (e.g., time to independent walking, expected upper‑limb function) to inform shared decisions with patients and families. Prescriptive analytics recommend therapy intensity, modality mix, and scheduling to maximize functional gains under resource constraints. 4. Benefits: outcomes, efficiency, engagement Improved functional outcomes: Studies report better motor recovery, gait quality, and ADL performance when AI‑assisted training is used—especially when robotics and intelligent feedback are involved. Reduced recovery time and resource use: More precise dosing and earlier identification of non‑responders can reduce ineffective sessions, shorten time to key milestones, and support safe earlier discharge with robust remote follow‑up. Increased adherence and engagement: AI‑driven digital rehab platforms use gamification, adaptive difficulty, and personalized feedback to keep patients engaged in home programs, improving adherence compared to static paper instructions. Support for clinicians: Instead of replacing therapists, AI can offload repetitive measurement tasks, highlight concerning trends, and offer data‑driven suggestions, allowing clinicians to focus on relational, motivational, and complex decision‑making aspects of care. 5. Challenges and ethical considerations Data privacy and security: Rehab AI often relies on continuous collection of sensitive motion, physiological, and sometimes audio/video data, raising questions about consent, storage, secondary use, and breach risk. Approaches like federated learning and on‑device processing are being explored to reduce centralization of identifiable data while still enabling model training. Algorithmic bias and fairness: If training data under‑represent older adults, women, certain racial/ethnic groups, or people with severe disability, AI models may misestimate performance or risk for those groups, potentially widening disparities in rehab access and outcomes. Ongoing auditing, diverse datasets, and participatory design with patients and clinicians are needed to ensure equitable performance. Integration with clinical workflows: Many AI tools are developed in research settings and are not yet seamlessly integrated into EHRs, scheduling systems, or therapist documentation workflows. Poorly integrated tools risk adding documentation burden or "alert fatigue," reducing adoption. Successful implementations co‑design interfaces with frontline therapists and physicians. Regulation, liability, and trust: It remains unclear in many jurisdictions how to regulate adaptive rehab algorithms (as medical devices, clinical decision support, or wellness tools) and who is liable when AI‑informed plans cause harm. Transparent, explainable models and clear communication to patients about the role of AI are critical for maintaining trust. 6. Case studies and emerging trends Remote and hybrid digital rehabilitation: AI‑driven platforms providing home‑based stroke, orthopedic, or Parkinson's rehab with clinician dashboards are improving adherence and extending care beyond brick‑and‑mortar clinics. Collaborative AI for precision neurorehabilitation: Frameworks combining patient‑clinician goal setting, digital twins, and reinforcement learning exemplify "collaborative AI" that augments rather than replaces therapists. Multimodal personalization: Integration of movement data, EMG, heart rate, sleep, and self‑reported pain/fatigue is enabling more nuanced adaptation to daily fluctuations in capacity. Conversational AI for education and coaching: Early work is assessing tools like ChatGPT as low‑risk supports for exercise education and motivation, though they are not yet precise enough to replace professional plan design AI is moving rehab toward patient‑centered, continuously adapting, and data‑rich care, but realizing this promise depends on addressing privacy, bias, workflow, and regulatory challenges in partnership with clinicians and patients.
From Command to Control: Stories of Digital Dilemmas The hosts discuss Apple Mail email signatures and discover that when a website URL lacks a prefix, Apple Mail defaults it to an insecure http link, which can trigger junk filtering; they also note cases where a displayed https link still points to http behind the scenes. They compare Apple Mail to Outlook in business environments, mention limitations around advanced signature management, and comment on Apple's minimal transparency in service-status outage explanations. They cover Apple's iOS 12 update extending certificates for services like iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation through January 2027, and then shift to opinions and speculation about Tim Cook's political pandering possibly being tied to tariffs and CEO succession timing. Returning to tech, they explain Apple Pay's security benefits—device-specific numbers and unique transaction codes—especially after a client's credit card was repeatedly compromised, and discuss adding additional browser protection via Malwarebytes Browser Guard and Chrome/Safari extension deployment through MDM (Addigy), including using ChatGPT to generate a configuration profile. They also describe using ChatGPT to edit MailChimp newsletter HTML quickly, and explore AI-assisted app development ideas such as an iOS app that converts call logs into calendar entries, referencing a Steven Robles video about building an app with AI while noting potential security pitfalls like exposed credentials. Lgistics issue involving gear ordered for testing via an Amazon locker at Staples. When attempting pickup, the host discovers the locker has no keypad and relies on the Amazon app and NFC. Despite signing into the client's Amazon account and enabling required app permissions (Bluetooth and device access), the locker cannot be accessed. Amazon customer service suggests the order data may be incomplete due to a third-party seller and issues immediate refunds or credits. 00:00 Welcome In: Time, the Clock Tower, and "Running Out of Time" 00:46 Client Referral Follow-Up: When People Go Radio Silent 01:39 Apple Mail Link Gotcha: Why Your Clean URL Becomes HTTP 04:13 Hidden Signature Code: Displayed HTTPS, Actual HTTP (and Spam Filters) 05:45 Why Apple Should Default to HTTPS (Google Already Does) 08:34 Signature Tools & Workflows: WiseStamp, Outlook, and What Clients Actually Use 10:37 Apple Still Updating Old iOS: Certificate Expiration and 2027 Cutoff 11:40 Tim Cook, Politics, and the CEO Succession Theory 15:06 Bully-Pulpit News Cycle: Waiting for the Next Outrage 16:08 Epstein Files & Accountability: Why Consequences Aren't Landing in the U.S. 18:16 From Past Scandals to Today: How the Bar Moved (Back to Tech) 19:00 Merch & Sponsorship Shoutouts (The Command Control Power Mug) 19:47 Apple Services Outages & the Vague Status Page Problem 21:14 Why Apple Pay Is Safer After a Card Gets Compromised 23:40 Dashlane vs Malwarebytes Browser Guard: Phishing/Scam Blocking Extensions 28:19 Layered Web Protection: Safari Safe Browsing, DNS Filtering, and Extension Risks 31:36 ChatGPT for Real Work: Fixing a Mailchimp Newsletter with HTML 33:06 AI-Assisted App Idea: Turn Call Logs into Calendar Entries (and Vibe Coding) 37:59 Security Caveats + Wrap-Up Quip About AI Summaries
As Bob continues his LawNext on Location series – all recorded live in the San Francisco area at locations of each guest's choosing – he sits down with Pablo Arredondo at his home in Tiburon, a quaint Marin County town with a history stretching from Mexican land grants to naval outposts to a southern railway terminus. From Pablo's home office, the view looks out over Richardson Bay towards Sausalito and, if you look carefully, the Golden Gate Bridge can be seen in the distance. It is a setting that is entirely fitting for a conversation with someone who helped shape one of the more remarkable journeys in the annals of legal technology. Pablo was cofounder of Casetext, the once-scrappy startup that spent a decade iterating, pivoting and persisting before striking gold with CoCounsel, the first GPT-4-powered AI legal assistant, unveiled on the nationally televised Morning Joe show on March 1, 2023. Just four months later, Thomson Reuters acquired Casetext for $650 million in cash. Now, 2.5 years later, Pablo recently left TR, where he is, as he puts it, building a Lego Death Star with his daughter and finally paying attention to his well-being after 16 years of nonstop pursuit. In this wide-ranging conversation, Pablo reflects on the long road to CoCounsel – from a failed crowdsourcing experiment to CARA's brief analysis tool to the pivotal moment when Casetext signed a $20,000 innovation license with OpenAI and got early access to GPT-4, 10 weeks before ChatGPT's public launch. He describes the surreal experience of those first 48 hours after CoCounsel's debut, when he and cofounder Jake Heller identified 74 distinct legal use cases the tool could handle – any one of which, he says, "would have been a company in the old world." Pablo and Bob also dig into the bigger questions surrounding legal AI, including whether the field is advancing as fast as he expected; what the foundation models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google mean for legal-specific AI companies such as Harvey; and why he believes reasoning models and agentic AI represent the next genuinely profound leap beyond GPT-4. Pablo also candidly reflects on the TR acquisition and his work while at TR, and he offers hints on what may lie ahead for him – at least once that Death Star model is done. It is a conversation that is part memoir, part technology seminar and part meditation on what it means to have built something that changed a profession – and his life – all recorded with a sweeping, albeit cloudy, view of the majesty of San Francisco Bay.

Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education: Opportunities, Risks, and GuardrailsIn this episode of The Pediatric Lounge, the hosts welcome back Dr. Rani Gareige, director of medical education and designated institutional official at Nicklaus Children's Hospital and a clinical professor at Florida International University, to discuss artificial intelligence in medical education now and in the future. They preview Nicklaus Children's Hospital's 61st annual postgraduate pediatrics CME conference in Fort Lauderdale (Hilton Marina Resort, March 20–22), highlighting sessions on IBD, short stature, dermatology, psychological screening, AI in practice management, social media communication, genetic testing/personalized medicine, and Florida's new requirement for EKG screening to clear athletes starting ninth grade. The conversation covers common AI tools learners use (ChatGPT, Claude, OpenEvidence) and institutional concerns about HIPAA/PHI, including blocking public tools and using a secure in-house system (“Ask Nick”) and closed or constrained approaches (e.g., tools that search only approved sources or documents provided, such as Google Notebook). They explore concerns about de-skilling and when to introduce AI in training, faculty development needs, and a precepting framework (DEFT-AI: Diagnosis, Evidence, Feedback, Teaching, and Recommendations for AI use) to assess clinical reasoning. The episode also discusses AI for simulated patient interactions (bad news delivery, motivational interviewing), ambient AI scribing pilots, clinician responsibility to review notes, and AI-driven coding that may reduce undercoding and administrative burden. The discussion concludes that AI will not replace physicians, but clinicians who use AI wisely may replace those who do not, stressing the importance of policies, ethics, transparency, and maintaining empathy and the art of medicine.00:00 Podcast Intro and Guest02:25 CME Conference Details03:13 Hot Topics and New Laws04:44 EKG Screening Program07:42 AI Tools in Training11:42 IRB and Data Privacy14:39 Meeting Minutes Automation16:48 Closed Models for Clinicians19:13 AI Hallucinations and References24:16 Deskilling and Timing AI30:11 Teaching Frameworks for AI32:46 Back to Evidence Basics33:40 Questioning the Evidence34:48 AI and Human Empathy37:45 AI as Clinical Assistant41:01 Recertification in the AI Era46:32 Ethics and Prompting50:40 AI Scribing and Guardrails54:35 Coding and Care Gaps57:15 Future of Medical Education01:01:13 Virtual Trials and Wrap-Up01:0Support the show

B.C. Premier David Eby says families in Tumbler Ridge are asking themselves if their kids would still be alive if the developer of ChatGPT had alerted law enforcement after banning the shooter's account months prior. Eby describes his anger after experiences that have 'changed me forever' and says that while he can't be sure from the outside, 'it sure looks like' OpenAI could have prevented the tragedy.
