Listen Now to 103 Future Now Show When creating our show, our guests are usually in their home environments, connected to us via Zoom or Facetime. But this week our mountaintop ‘fortress of solitude’ was visited by not one but three live guests in our studio at the same time! First up was a brief but wonderful check in by the Passionate Living TV folks, Catherine Miller and Rifat Chowdhury visiting from Buffalo, NY. They were here in California for a film festival and recording of future stories for their award-winning series on passionate lifestyles. And author Annelise Schinzinger made it up the hill to chat with us about her new book documenting her pioneering experiences in South America with Ayahuasca, a psychoactive brew used by Amazonian tribes for spiritual and healing purposes. Annelise’s experiences go back to the 1970’s, way before Ayahuasca was known in North America. I was particularly fascinated by her understanding of “burracheira,” the field of consciousness created by those sharing an Ayahuasca experience. It is also worth noting that she was the Portugese translater for scientist Dennis McKenna in his field research while in Brazil. She takes us on a most fascinating and insightful journey into some of the deeper mysteries of life and death. Enjoy!

In this episode of The ClosersKlub, I had the pleasure of speaking with Solmon Chowdhury, a Bangladeshi immigrant who arrived in the U.S. in 1996 with zero dollars and went on to build a multi-million dollar real estate empire, selling over $27 million worth of properties in the Boston area. Solomon shares his inspiring journey, the mindset it took to go from nothing to wealth, and the exact framework he used to close high-level real estate deals with no money down. We break down his most recent 14-unit development project in Mattapan, where he and his 28-year-old partner secured a $3 million loan and are now on track to sell for over $6 million in profit. This is a must-listen for anyone looking to scale their real estate business, find creative financing solutions, and build generational wealth—even if you're starting from scratch.
We're joined by the US Science Envoy for AI, Dr.Rumman Chowdhury, who's a leading expert in responsible AI. We uncover the ethical, technical, and societal implications of artificial intelligence. As AI rapidly eats up the world, the question is what happens when it doesn't align with human values? How do we navigate the risks of bias, misinformation, and hallucination in AI systems? Dr. Chowdhury has been at the forefront of AI governance, red teaming, and AI risk mitigation. She has worked with global institutions, governments, and tech companies to make AI more accountable, safe, and equitable. From her time at Twitter's (now X) Machine Learning Ethics Transparency and Accountability team to founding Humane Intelligence, she has actively shaped policies that determine how AI interacts with human society. We dive deep into: - AI bias, disinformation, and manipulation: How AI models inherit human biases and what we can do about it. - Hallucinations in AI: Why generative AI models fabricate information and why it's not a bug but a feature. - AI governance and regulation: Why unchecked AI development is dangerous, and the urgent need for independent audits. - The risks of OpenAI, Meta, and big tech dominance: Who is really in control of AI, and how can we ensure fair oversight? - How companies should approach AI ethics: Practical strategies businesses can use to prevent harm while innovating responsibly. Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. AI as a Tool, Not a Mind: Dr. Rumman Chowdhury debunks the myth that AI is alive or sentient. AI is a tool—just like a hammer—it can be used to build or destroy. The real issue isn't AI itself, but how humans choose to use it. 2. Why AI Hallucinations Are Unavoidable: Unlike traditional machine learning models, generative AI doesn't compute facts; it predicts what words statistically fit together. This means hallucinations—where AI completely fabricates information—are not a flaw, but an inherent feature of how these models work. 3. The Hidden Biases in AI Models: AI models are only as good as their training data, which often reflects human biases. Dr. Chowdhury discusses how AI systems unintentionally amplify biases in hiring, finance, and law enforcement, and what needs to be done to fix it. 4. The Illusion of AI Objectivity: Many assume AI models are neutral, but the truth is that all models are built with human input, which means they carry subjective biases. Dr. Chowdhury warns that the real danger is allowing a handful of tech elites to dictate how AI shapes global narratives. 5. The Need for AI Red Teaming & Auditing: Just like cybersecurity stress tests, AI models need independent stress tests to identify risks before they cause harm. Dr. Chowdhury shares her experience leading global AI red teaming exercises with scientists and governments to assess AI's real-world impact. 6. OpenAI and the Power Problem: Is OpenAI truly aligned with public interest? Dr. Chowdhury critiques how AI giants hold more power than entire nations and explains why AI must be treated as a public utility rather than a corporate monopoly. 7. Why AI Needs More Public Oversight: Most AI governance is self-imposed by the companies that build these models. Dr. Chowdhury calls for third-party, independent AI audits, similar to financial auditing, to ensure transparency and accountability in AI decision-making. 8. The Role of Governments vs. Private AI Firms: With AI development largely controlled by private companies, what role should governments play? Dr. Chowdhury argues that governments must create AI Safety Institutes, set up national regulations, and empower independent researchers to hold AI accountable.

DARK CIRCLES, 4min., USA Directed by Suswana Chowdhury“Dark Circles” is a surrealist short poetry film directed and produced by Suswana Chowdhury, and written by Jean-Sebastien Surena. Get to know the writer Jean-Sebastien Surena & director Suswana Chowdhury: What motivated you to make this film? Jean: Sometimes I write poems that I feel beg to be consumed in a different medium. This is a piece I've very seldom read out loud, and have never published anywhere. The moment it was written, I knew I wanted to visualize it in some way. I sat on it for a long time, as I don't like to rush into projects that extend to mediums I'm not as well versed in. But once I started collaborating with Suswana on other projects, and saw the care with which she handles my work, I knew it was only a matter of time until I'd finally be able to bring this work onto the screen. Suswana: After Jean and I made our first poetry film together, “Unbroken,” we were ready to make more. I've always been interested in creating interdisciplinary art as I grew up creating in all these separate mediums – theater, film, poetry, dance, photography – and I wanted to explore where and how these forms can intersect. “Dark Circles” was an opportunity to translate Jean's beautiful poetic language into cinematic language and push the visual and sonic artistry further than we did with our first project. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? Jean: My first thought upon hearing the feedback was “they get it.” Which was so important to me, because I know my words will always make more sense in my head than on paper. One of the challenges of a poet is conveying at least some of what you're thinking to a reader/listener. And I'm grateful to have had an audience that gets it, and was moved by not just the words, but the entirety of our presentation. Suswana: To be completely honest, I started tearing up after hearing the first person speak about the film. To know that the intentions of the project really came through and resonated with the audience made me feel like okay, I'm not crazy. Well, I am crazy, but it's good crazy.

Are today's policy challenges and market behaviour largely about post pandemic macro, or are they reflecting fiscal, monetary, and financial “dominance” that stem from two decades of interventions? Mustafa Chowdhury, a veteran of bond and credit market analysis, returns to Kopi Time to offer a nuanced but highly important perspective on the impact of policy distortion on market behaviour. Why did the long-end of the US yield curve sell-off after the September rate cut? Why haven't banks reduced their duration exposure despite the regional bank crisis last year? Why are long-term mortgage rates so high and why aren't short-term products available? And still, why is the housing market so strong? What about the perennial academic and policy debate on price levels versus differences, and how has that caused monetary policy errors? Given all this, what is the outlook for rates, FX, credit, and financial stability? This rich conversation offers excellent insights; a must listen for economists and market strategists.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Picture this: Your organization's data infrastructure resembles a busy kitchen with too many cooks. You're juggling Kafka for messaging, Flink for processing, Spark for analytics, Airflow for orchestration, and various Lambda functions scattered about. Each tool excellent at its job, but together they've created a complex feast of integration challenges. Your data teams are spending more time managing tools than extracting value from data. InfinyOn reimagines this chaos with a radically simple approach: a unified system for data streaming that runs everywhere. Unlike traditional solutions that struggle at the edge, InfinyOn gracefully handles data streams from IoT devices to cloud servers. And instead of cobbling together different tools, developers can build complete data pipelines using their preferred languages - be it Rust, Python, or SQL - with built-in state management. At the heart of InfinyOn is Fluvio, a Rust-based data streaming platform that's fast, reliable, and easy to use.

Reshmin Chowdhury is a sports broadcaster who's had a love of football since she was a little girl. Growing up in a large and close Bengali community, she told me her childhood memories are of being the only girl, surrounded by boys, watching football on TV. Reshmin's drive to break into the world of sports presenting was very strong - much to the surprise of her teacher Mum and accountant Dad - and she is proud to have made it, although she feels it shouldn't have been that hard. Her parents were very supportive of her dreams and we talked about how difficult it was losing her Dad 3 years ago, and that he was always the person she would pick up the phone to speak to after a big match. Reshmin shared how her children hold a mirror up to all her faults, including losing her temper. She says she's working on this and I've asked her, when she's solved that one, please share the answer with me too!

By Alfonzo Galvan | Sahan JournalOn a sunny weekend in August, Brittany Rosas homed in her food options near Minnehaha Falls.Several vendors were offering fruit slices with chamoy and tajin, fruit-flavored water and fried wheat pinwheels also known as chicharrones.As Rosas purchased a cup of lemonade for her two kids and a bag of chicharrones, another customer bought a cup of watermelon for $5 from a nearby vendor.The unlicensed vendors were clustered in the high-traffic area near Sea Salt Eatery — and they kept a wary eye out for park police. None wanted to speak on the record.The vendors began appearing at busy parks and highway medians more than a year ago. Efforts by park police and city officials to issue citations only led them to temporarily retreat. Many are asylum-seekers from Ecuador who don't yet have a permit to work legally in the U.S.The city first attempted to address the issue in 2023, according to Minneapolis Health Department spokesperson Scott Wasserman who said they worked with St. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church holding educational classes on how to become a licensed food vendor.But a year later the problem persists.Now two Minneapolis officials are trying another approach. Council Members Jason Chavez and Aurin Chowdhury are developing an ordinance with city staff that would create a license or permit for food vendors to continue selling while being in compliance with city code.“The reality is that right now, folks are not allowed to do it, and they're getting letters saying to stop doing what they're doing,” Chavez said. “And they're being given routes to get permitted, but the permits that exist wouldn't allow them to do what they're doing.”Chavez said unlicensed food vendors can create health risks if fruit and other food isn't properly prepared. He said he is also concerned about the potential of labor abuses or trafficking.“I think a permit can help prevent that, or at least be a part of preventing them from happening,” he said.Several city departments are currently weighing in. Chavez and Chowdhury met with city staff on Friday to determine the proposed ordinance's next steps.After the meeting Chowdhury said an added goal is to create a support system so vendors can access supplies — including carts that store food at the proper temperature — so they can become eligible for a license.In drafting their proposal, the duo said they have to adhere to state laws on food storage and refrigeration.“The hope is next spring, people have a place where they're able to sell and vend freely. They feel supported by our communities, by local government, and we're bringing more people into compliance,” Chowdhury said.For now, an option presented to some vendors in Minneapolis has been to register for the state cottage food producer permit, based on a 2015 state law that allows people to “make and sell certain non-potentially hazardous food and canned goods in Minnesota without a license.”But Chavez said that's a step in the wrong direction.“That isn't going to address the issue. And people might apply, but it isn't actually going to address the root issue that people are struggling with,” Chavez said.A cottage food producer permit could allow vendors to sell homemade baked goods and pickled fruits and vegetables, but it still wouldn't allow them to operate on city sidewalks or in traffic.The issue is one of “equity” according to Chowdhury, who said some vendors don't have the available knowledge or resources because they're still new to the country.Things like licensing or permit fees become barriers for new vendors trying to become compliant.“When it comes to folks that are immigrants, new to our community, that's an incredible barrier. So if we're going to do economic empowerment, that's the barrier that we want to help resolve and so I'm 100% supportive of waiving these fees,” she said.Claudia Lainez, the workers' center director at COPAL, said the nonprofit organization has been monitoring the growth of street vendors across the metro specifically because many of them are undocumented.She said the majority of vendors tend to be women because men, even undocumented, tend to struggle less to find employment. The women have the obstacle of finding child care and that's why street vending is appealing to them.She said access to information in Spanish is a key barrier for those who might want to comply with local rules. “We have had many cases where people ask ‘What can I do?' But no, this information is not accessible in Spanish,” Lainez said.Since the ordinance proposal is still in the early stages, Chavez said there are still many questions.One is whether to establish fixed locations for vendors. Another is how to limit the number of vendors in a given spot.Chavez said some licensed vendors have told his staff that they're losing business due to increased competition. And a major question the council members have addressed is accessibility to information since the vendors are mostly Spanish-speaking.They've said it's important to make the process simple and easy for future vendors, regardless of legal status.Even without documents like Social Security numbers, Chavez said there would be ways for vendors to apply, such as by using an ITIN, or individual taxpayer identification number, which undocumented individuals can use for tax purposes.The IRS website says even undocumented residents are required to file income taxes every year.Chavez said it's crucial to find a solution that protects public health but also acknowledges the pressures that are pushing recent immigrants to sell food in public spaces.“I'll just center the humanity aspect that these people are just trying to make a living,” he said. Many of the vendors are “literally just trying to pay their rent and pay for their life.”Pushback from licensed vendorsThe presence of the vendors has sparked concern and complaints, especially from licensed vendors.At a Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board meeting in early August, Michael Auciello, owner of Brooklyn Mike's Italian Ice cart, said he was tired of “illegal vendors” coming and opening fruit stands and cutting into his revenue. Auciello said he's seen about a 50 percent drop in revenue this year as unlicensed vendors pushed into city parks.“A lot of the food trucks out there and vendors have given up. They're selling their trucks. They don't want nothing to do with this baloney no more,” Auciello said.According to him, vendors have to buy a daily permit to operate at city parks, and some parks only allow up to two permits. The daily permits are $35 on weekdays and $100 on the weekends.But some days this summer the parks he's worked at have had up to five different vendors, even though the cap was two.He's complained to the Minneapolis Park Police and the Park Board with limited success.Chavez said Minneapolis police officers are no longer giving citations to unlicensed vendors.“They give them a paper with resources, because a lot of them also need more support beyond just being able to sell some food on the streets,” he said.Park Police spokeswoman Robin Smothers said they also haven't given out any citations to any unlicensed vendor but clarified that spotted vendors are not allowed to operate uninterrupted.Auciello said he's seen Park Police confront unlicensed vendors but not escort them away.“Dear God, I wish,” Auciello said. “I think it's not fair to the licensed vendors.”An ordinance passed by the city wouldn't automatically affect how parks operate, according to Chavez.“The Park Board has to make their own decisions on if they're going to allow people at their parks but at city streets we can make a program to allow some of these individuals to be able to sell fruit or whatever we decide with these permits,” Chavez said.The Minneapolis Park Board still has final say on who can sell on their property.Currently, only a mobile food vendor licensed with the City of Minneapolis can apply for a daily permit to operate at the parks.On Friday, Chowdhury said there's been ongoing talks with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.“Our biggest goal right now with MPRB is to be proactive and build a really strong partnership and relationship, because at the end of the day, we want the same things. We want people in compliance and able to be entrepreneurs in our city,” she said.

Sufian Chowdhury, CEO of Kinetik, highlights how the non-emergency medical transportation industry, which has about 20,000 local transportation providers and over 400,000 drivers, plays a pivotal role in the healthcare continuum. Kinetik is bringing digital tools to this environment to provide scheduling and real-time information to an industry that currently relies on the phone. The goal is to make the system more efficient, reduce waiting times for patients and drivers, and ensure that drivers get paid promptly for these rides Medicaid covers. Sufian explains, "These are pre-planned rides. This industry is non-digital. You have to liken the state of this industry to what the taxi industry was in the '90s. It's a lot of telephonic communication. Not a lot of these transport companies are using technology. Because of that, the scheduling becomes very cumbersome, and some members have to request these rides three or four days in advance, not by choice but just because of the broken structure of this industry. We're trying to fix that with Kinetik by digitizing it so that these rides can become real-time rides." "One of the biggest challenges and how Kinetik started the genesis of Kinetik is to initially address the billing problem that transport providers were facing. They would send out claims and get paid every 60 to 90 days, yet they would have to pay their drivers every seven days. These are small businesses that struggled mightily when it came to cash flow management. So, the first problem we solved, as we entered this market about seven years ago, was to build a billing platform that allowed these transport providers to get paid on time or instantly. That was our initial goal." #Kinetik #NonEmergencyMedicalTransportation #NEMT #DigitalHealth kinetik.care Download the transcript here

For AI to achieve its full potential, non-experts need to contribute to its development, says Rumman Chowdhury, CEO and cofounder of Humane Intelligence.

In this episode we speak with Dr Soudip Roy Chowdhury, CEO of Eugenie.ai. Eugenie is building an AI platform that is helping to reduce carbon emissions from asset-heavy manufacturing operations. Many industrial processes, such as steel and cement production, require large amounts of energy to generate high temperature process heat. The current reliance on fossil fuels for this energy makes it difficult and economically prohibitive to switch to low-carbon alternatives and effectively decarbonize.These industries are the epitome of what we think about when we think of carbon emissions. They are vast, generate a tremendous amount of carbon impact, and aren't going anywhere. Eugenie.ai is tackling the problem by bringing accuracy to emission measurement using an ensemble of methods and then deep learning their way to the most optimal operational practices. In our conversation we learned just how medieval some of this tech is, which is great news - there's a tremendous amount of slack in the system to take up. Eugenie's platform is able to improve production, reduce wastage, and improve product quality all while reducing ~30% of emissions – and because of rising costs, do it at a net financial gain to companies.Though a complete overhaul might be long ways out, the smallest efficiency gain brought about in the industrial sector by machine learning adds up to carbon saving comparable to fixing the entire transportation industry!Our Guest, Soudip Roy ChowdhurySoudip Roy Chowdhury is the founder and CEO of Eugenie.ai. He has successfully taken Eugenie from the conceptualization stage to a merger, transforming it from 0 to 1. Eugenie has been featured by Google I/O, CNBC, Forbes, and major analyst reports as an innovative solution for industrial decarbonization.With over 18 years of professional experience, Soudip has held various technical leadership roles at IBM Research, Rakuten, Tata Elxsi, Fractal AI Inc., and other AI and data startups across three continents. He holds a PhD in machine learning and is passionate about applying AI to solve large-scale problems such as climate change.At Eugenie, Soudip and his team are building an AI platform to decarbonize asset-heavy manufacturing operations. A nature lover and avid traveler, he shares his environmental passion with his daughter. In addition to his work at Eugenie, Soudip advises several startups in sustainability, AI, and healthcare domains. He is an advisor on the Forbes Tech Council, serves as an AI/ML advisor for DevNetwork, and holds an adjunct faculty position at IIT Kharagpur in India.Eugenie: https://www.linkedin.com/company/eugenie-ai/Soudip: https://www.linkedin.com/in/soudiprc/Your Hosts Mansi Shah - Joshua Marker ClimateStack
