Artificial Intelligence wird die Welt von Grund auf verändern und damit das am Ende auch gut geht, müssen wichtige Weichen gestellt werden, ist der AI-Experte Matthias Samwald von der Meduni Wien überzeugt. Ein Podcast von Pragmaticus.Das Thema:Wer denkt, Künstliche Intelligenz seien Chatbots wie ChatGPT oder Gemini, irrt. Die wahre Künstliche Intelligenz steht erst in den Startlöchern und wird das Leben, so wie wir es kennen, von Grund auf verändern.General Purpose AI, auch AGI („Artificial General Intelligence“), wird in allen Bereichen der Gesellschaft Transformationen bringen, davon ist Matthias Samwald, Professor für Artificial Intelligence an der MedUni Wien, überzeugt. Deshalb sei es dringend notwendig, wichtige Strukturen wie unser Wirtschaftssystem oder auch unsere Demokratie zu schützen, sagt er.Zugleich beklagt er ein mangelndes Problembewusstsein für die allumfassende Veränderungskraft dieser Technologie. Vor allem, was die rekursive AI betrifft, also jene AI-Tools, die AI selbst verbessern, erwartet er sich bahnbrechende Innovationen. Die großen ungeklärten Fragen in sämtlichen Bereichen der Wissenschaft könnten gelöst werden. Das Ende von Krebs, Lösungen für Clean Energy: All das könnte die KI auf den Weg bringen.Allein: Nur wer über die entsprechende Rechenleistung verfügt, wird in der Topliga der Problemlösungen durch KI mitspielen, ist Samwald überzeugt. Europa hat gerade, was die Verfügbarkeit von Energie etwa für Data Centers betrifft, massiven Nachholbedarf. Die große Gefahr sei, dass sich die Gesellschaft auf keine gemeinsame Linie in dieser Zukunftsfrage einigen könne und Fragmentierung zu Stillstand in Sachen Künstlicher Intelligenz führen werde.Denn an sich, so Samwald, liege ungeahntes Potenzial in Artificial Intelligence. Statt Dystopien wünscht er sich gemeinsame Utopien, in deren Zentrum das Wohl aller Menschen steht.Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Matthias Samwald ist Professor für Artificial Intelligence an der Medizinischen Universität Wien und leitet „Accelerate Europe“, eine Initiative, die darauf abzielt, Europa auf die KI-Revolution vorzubereiten, die Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Regierungsführung noch in diesem Jahrzehnt grundlegend verändern könnte. Er vertritt die Ansicht, dass Europa seine Traditionen der Rechenschaftspflicht, der Zusammenarbeit und des gemeinsamen Wohlstands in Wettbewerbsvorteile umwandeln kann, wenn es diese mit dem Ehrgeiz und dem Tempo verbindet, die die aktuelle Situation erfordert. Samwald ist Mitglied des EU Frontier AI Expert Forum, eines wissenschaftlichen Gremiums, das als fachliches Beratungsorgan des AI Act, der europäischen Gesetzgebung zur Künstlichen Intelligenz fungiert. Seine Mitglieder unterstützen die Europäische Kommission und nationale Behörden bei Fragen zu KI, etwa beim Erkennen systemischer Risiken der leistungsfähigsten KI-Modelle, sowie bei der Entwicklung von Methoden zu deren Evaluation. Die Berufung knüpft unmittelbar an Samwalds frühere Arbeit als Co-Chair des Kapitels „Safety & Security“ des EU Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI an, der 2025 fertiggestellt wurde und auf dem führende Entwickler wie OpenAI, Google und Anthropic mittlerweile aufbauen.

Send us Fan MailAt the end of May, the Seattle LGBTQ+ Commission sent a letter to their mayor asking the city to declare a civil state of emergency in response to the growing number of transgender people and their families fleeing states with escalating anti-trans laws. Families are leaving homes, schools, jobs, churches, and entire support systems behind because remaining where they are no longer feels safe. A study from the Movement Advancement Project and the University of Chicago found that at least 400,000 transgender and gender nonconforming people have moved to another state since November 2024 because of anti-LGBTQ laws or political conditions. For years, many parents of trans kids have been sounding the alarm — telling stories of banned healthcare, hostile school policies, criminalization, fear, isolation, and the exhausting reality of fighting for your child's right to exist openly and safely. What once felt unthinkable is now shaping where families can live, where children can go to school, and whether parents feel they can protect their kids at all. Today In the Den we talk about what it means when LGBTQ+ people become refugees within their own country. What happens to families forced to relocate in search of safety? What responsibilities do affirming cities and states have to those arriving in crisis? And what does it mean for the rest of us witnessing this moment unfold in real time?Special Guest: Chris CuriaChris Curia is Co-Chair of the Seattle LGBTQ Commission, an advisory board that provides guidance and recommendations to City leaders on issues affecting LGBTQ+ communities. Additionally, Chris supervises Crisis Care Responder teams as part of Seattle's Community Assisted Response & Engagement (CARE) Department, the City's third branch of public safety that delivers alternative first response to 911 calls with a mental health nexus. Chris brings years of clinical training and experience as a licensed mental health counselor to these roles, along with a passion for exploring innovative opportunities to prioritize mental healthcare equity and community-centered care for all Seattleites.Special Guest: Jessa DavisJessa Davis (she/her) is Co-Chair of the Seattle LGBTQ Commission and Chair of its Community Outreach & Social Media Committee. She also serves as Board Secretary for Queer Power Alliance (QPA), where she chairs the Advocacy Committee, and as Board Secretary for Whole Washington. In these roles, she helps align community-driven advocacy with broader structural change efforts including in her work as Executive Director of the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-Monogamy (OPEN), which is a role she recently took on after founding and leading the Seattle Coalition for Family & Relationship Equity (SCFRE).Links from the Show:Seattle LGBTQ+ Commission Jessa's IGJessa's WebsiteStudy from Movement Advancement ProjectJoin Mama DragonsIn the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

In this episode of the AAOS Now Podcast, host Stuart J. Fischer, MD, FAAOS, speaks with two leaders in orthopaedic data science about how physician-controlled registries are transforming outcomes measurement, implant evaluation, and clinical decision-making. From the early vision of a national joint replacement registry to a new real-time data partnership with Epic, the conversation traces how far the registries have come and where they are headed. Drs. James Huddleston and Steven Glassman share concrete examples of how registry data is driving practice change. They also address how the data supports Clinical Practice Guidelines and research, why surgeon and patient information is protected from outside access, and what the integration of AI and patient-reported outcomes means for the next generation of orthopaedic registries. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Origins and goals of the AAOS registry portfolio: How orthopaedic surgeons built a physician-controlled data infrastructure to protect procedures and drive evidence-based care Data sources and infrastructure: AJRR's use of hospital and ASC submissions, Medicare claims for complete follow-up on Medicare patients, and a new Epic Community Registries partnership for real-time data capture Registry scale and participation gaps: Why AJRR has surpassed five million procedures while spine, shoulder and elbow, and musculoskeletal oncology registries are still building volume Real-world clinical impact: How AJRR data has influenced cementless knee adoption, robotics use in unicompartmental arthroplasty, and the growth of triple-tapered femoral stems in hip replacement Research and CPG applications: How the Registry Analytics Institute supports physician-led and industry-sponsored research, with strict controls on data dissemination Patient-reported outcomes: The longstanding role of PROMs in spine and the challenges of scaling PROM collection for hip and knee under new government mandates Data privacy: Why registry data remains de-identified and inaccessible to insurers and government agencies, and what individual surgeon dashboards can offer International comparisons and ISAR: How AJRR benchmarks against registries in England, Wales, and beyond, and why U.S.-specific data remains essential AI and the future of registries: How AJRR is piloting AI-powered EHR extraction to improve data completeness without human intervention About Our Guests: James Huddleston III, MD, FAAOS, is Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford Hospital; Co-Chair of the AAOS Registry Oversight Committee; and Chair of the American Joint Replacement Registry Steering Committee Steven D.

In this episode of Greenberg Traurig's Good In Practice podcast, host Caroline Heller, Chair of the firm's Global Pro Bono Program, sits down with Jordan Grotzinger, Co-Chair of the firm's Los Angeles Litigation Practice, to discuss one of the most compelling pro bono cases in GT's recent history: the wrongful conviction case of Pierre Rushing. Pierre Rushing was convicted of murder at age 22, sentenced to 50 years to life, has now spent 15 years incarcerated for a crime that mounting evidence suggests he did not commit. Pierre has maintained his innocence since the beginning. Jordan, whose day-to-day practice focuses on trade secrets and commercial litigation, explains how a podcast he listened to during the pandemic sparked his interest in wrongful conviction work and ultimately led him to Pierre's case. He walks listeners through the significant evidentiary problems with the original conviction, including the testimony of an eyewitness whose description of the perpetrator changed dramatically over time. Their conversation traces the long and winding post-conviction road, including two prior habeas proceedings, a federal appeal to the Ninth Circuit, and the eventual emergence of critical new evidence. That evidence includes a recantation by the original eyewitness, declarations from two individuals who were present at the scene stating that Pierre was not there, and - most strikingly - 464 pages of police reports produced by the prosecution 13 years after the conviction, which may have violated the Brady disclosure rules of evidence. Beyond the legal details, the episode offers a look at Pierre as a person - a young man from a difficult background in Oakland who was going to school and building a future as a rapper when his life was upended. Jordan reflects on Pierre's resilience and on the extraordinary contributions of GT associate Andrea Carmona, whose work he credits as essential to getting the case to its current stage. The episode closes with a broader call to action. With over 3,800 documented exonerations in the United States since 1989, and far more individuals claiming wrongful conviction without access to legal representation, Jordan and Caroline urge lawyers to consider taking on innocence cases pro bono. A hearing in Pierre's case is forthcoming.

Despite the defense's attempts to frame Mendoza as an independent contractor, Maxey successfully proved that he was an employee in the course and scope of his employment, showcasing Titan's negligence in his lack of training and safety protocols.

From Evidence to Action: Incorporating Disability Inclusion in Medical Training and Practice (ICAM 2026) Session Description The ICAM Series | Recorded Live at the International Congress on Academic Medicine (ICAM) What does it take to move disability inclusion from research and policy into everyday medical training and practice? Recorded live at the International Congress on Academic Medicine (ICAM) in Ottawa, Canada, this special episode of the Docs With Disabilities Podcast brings together an extraordinary panel of physician leaders, educators, and advocates working to transform disability inclusion across undergraduate medical education, residency training, and clinical practice. Together, the panel explores how institutions can move beyond awareness and compliance toward meaningful, sustainable change. Drawing from scholarship, systems leadership, and lived experience, they discuss the realities of accommodation implementation, the importance of centralized and trusted systems, faculty training, universal design, and the role of culture in shaping whether disability inclusion succeeds or stalls. This conversation asks difficult—but necessary—questions: How do we create systems that are consistent and humane? How do we support learners and physicians across transitions and career stages? And how do we build medical environments where disability is expected, planned for, and valued? Rich with practical insight and grounded in real-world experience, this live ICAM session highlights a field at an important turning point—one where we increasingly have the evidence, the tools, and the responsibility to act. Whether you are a learner, educator, physician, administrator, or institutional leader, this episode offers concrete ideas and inspiration for advancing disability inclusion within your own environment.

Cambridge in England has become home to the country's first Dutch-style cycle street where bicycles, not cars, have the priority. No parking is allowed on the street and if you are in a car, you must go at the pace of the cyclist in front of you with no overtaking allowed. So is that an idea for here?

Quantum technical debt is the idea that some devices cannot be upgraded to PQC. In this episode, Thorsten Stremlau, a Systems Principal Architect at NVIDIA and Co-Chair of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Marketing Work Group, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss the critical role of hardware roots of trust in protecting against the quantum computing threat. Stremlau outlines the challenges of integrating heavier PQC algorithms into resource-constrained chips like the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), highlighting technical hurdles such as increased computational intensity, memory bloat, and heightened vulnerability to side-channel and denial-of-service attacks. To counter these quantum threats while maintaining historical stability, the TCG has released the TPM 2.0 library version 1.85 paired with the platform specification 107. This combination leverages built-in crypto-agility to implement mature algorithms like ML-KEM and ML-DSA, while still supporting hybrid classical-quantum models to ensure a smoother migration path for enterprises. However, Stremlau issues a stark warning regarding the industry's timeline and the reality of quantum technical debt, revealing that achieving full PQC readiness will require a complete hardware replacement rather than simple in-field firmware updates. Government entities are aggressively mandating PQC compliance for procurement by 2027. But the enterprise sector, particularly critical infrastructure and server environments, faces an incredibly long transition cycle due to a traditional preference for operational stability over rapid upgrades. While a PQC-ready TPM is a foundational piece of the puzzle that secures firmware signing, boot processes and platform attestation, it is not a silver bullet. True quantum resilience requires a defense-in-depth strategy where the entire software and data ecosystem, including AI workloads, edge networks and data pipelines, is systematically upgraded alongside the hardware foundation.

5.13.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: MAGA Voting Rights Power Grab. Stacey Abrams' Dire Warning. Justin Jones Stripped of All Committees. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has called for a special legislative session to redraw electoral maps following a Supreme Court ruling. This move aligns with several southern states controlled by Republicans that are attempting to undermine Black voting power. We'll discuss this issue with voting advocate Stacey Abrams and Gerald Griggs, the NAACP State President of Georgia. Texas Congressman Marc Veasey, Co-Chair of the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus, will join us to explain why federal oversight of election changes is crucial in states with a history of voter discrimination. Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones will be here to talk about how he was stripped of all his committee assignments for protesting the MAGA power grab in his state. The Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries calls out Republicans over their failed policies that are worsening the affordability crisis. In tonight's Crockett Chronicles, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett challenges the silence from Republicans who did not attend a recent hearing and will urge the public to pay attention to who is willing to fight for survivors and who is not.

Now, he's the co-chair of the President's Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Sacks approaches the issue with a “let them cook” philosophy.
