The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
A new EY study shows workers are eager to embrace AI agents — 84% say they're ready, and most expect agents to boost productivity and work-life balance. But companies are failing to match that enthusiasm with clear communication, effective training, and updated management approaches.

Trump Administration's Economic Interventionism Questioned as 'State Capitalism'. Veronique de Rugy critiques the Trump administration's economic policies regarding companies like Intel, US Steel, and MP Mining, calling them "state capitalism" or forms of nationalization. She argues that the government acquiring a minority share in Intel creates bad incentives and unfair competitive advantages. Regarding MP Mining, de Rugy notes that guaranteeing a price floor fails to address the underlying issue of government regulation hindering rare earth production in the US.E 1882.

Our U.S. Software Analyst Sanjit Singh explains how AI is reshaping software development and why the future for the sector may be brighter – and busier – than ever.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Sanjit Singh, the U.S. Software Analyst at Morgan Stanley.Today: how AI is transforming software and what that means for developers.It's Friday, October 24th, at 10am in New York.There's been a lot of news stories and anecdotal accounts about AI taking over jobs, especially in the software industry. You may have heard of vibe coding, where people can use natural language prompts, guiding AI to build software applications. So yes, AI is creating a world where software writes itself. But at the same time, the demand for human creativity only grows.The introduction of AI coding assistants has dramatically expanded what software can do, fueling a surge in both the volume of code and the complexity of projects. But instead of shrinking the developer workforce, AI is actually supporting continued growth in developer headcount, even as productivity soars.We're estimating the software development market will grow at a 20 percent compound annual growth rate, reaching $61 billion by 2029. And that's up from $24 billion in 2024. And in terms of the developer population, [research] firms like IDC expect it to jump from 30 million paid developers in 2024 to 50 million by 2029 – that's a 10 percent annual growth rate. Even the most conservative estimates, like those from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, see developer jobs growing roughly 2 percent per year through 2033, outpacing overall employment growth.So, what does this mean for people behind the code? AI isn't replacing developers. It's redefining them. Routine tasks are increasingly handled by AI agents, and this frees up developers to become curators, reviewers, architects, and most important problem-solvers.The upshot? Companies may need fewer developers for repetitive work, but the overall demand for skilled engineers remains robust. As AI lowers the barrier to entry, the pool of people who can build software applications expands dramatically. But at the same time, the complexity and ambitions of projects rise, keeping experienced developers in high demand.No doubt, AI coding tools are delivering real productivity gains. Some teams are reporting nearly doubling their code capacity and cutting pull request times in half after adopting AI assistants. Test coverage has increased sharply, resulting in 20 percent fewer production incidents for some organizations. But there is a catch with all this AI-generated code. It's creating significant new bottlenecks downstream.An example of this is code review, which is becoming a major pain point. Many organizations are experiencing pull request fatigue, with developers rubber-stamping changes just to keep up. Some teams now require three reviewers for AI-generated change, compared to just one before. And in terms of automated testing, systems are getting overwhelmed because every change made with AI sets off a complete round of test.Now we estimate productivity gains from AI in software engineering at about 15–20 percent. But in complex projects, the gains are much lower, as the volume of new code often means more bugs and more rework – and hence more human developers.So where do we go from here? In our view, the future isn't about fully autonomous software development. Instead, large enterprises are likely to favor an integrated approach, where AI agents and human developers work side by side. AI will automate more of the software development lifecycle. And that not only includes coding – which, coding typically accounts for 10-20 percent of the software development effort – but other areas like testing, security, and deployment. But humans will remain in the loop for oversight, design, and decision-making. And as software gets cheaper and faster to build, organizations won't just do the same work with fewer people – they likely will do more.In short, the need for skilled developers isn't going away. But it's definitely evolving. And in the age of AI, it's not about man versus machine. It's about man with machine. And so with more software, we see more developers.Thanks for listening.

While indulging in online retail therapy, you've probably seen an option at checkout to buy now, pay later. Companies like Afterpay, Affirm, and Klarna let consumers pay in four installments for nearly anything, including clothes, concert tickets, or even a burrito. For some consumers, it's a tech-assisted layaway plan that helps when cash is tight. For others, it's a chance to splurge on otherwise unattainable goods. On social media, it's called “Klarnamaxxing” and it's getting some consumers into a world of debt. Guests: Annie Joy Williams, assistant editor covering politics and culture, The Atlantic Julie Margetta Morgan, president, The Century Foundation, an independent think that that researches public policy; former associate director of research, monitoring and regulations at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Amy X.

One American company called Strategy owns more than 3% of all bitcoin in existence. In August 2020, its executive chairman, Michael Saylor, pioneered a new business model where publicly listed companies buy cryptocurrency assets to hold on their balance sheet.More than 100 other public companies have since followed Saylor's lead and become bitcoin treasury companies, together holding more than $114 billion of bitcoin. There's been a new rush into crypto treasury assets in 2025 following the general crypto enthusiasm of the new Trump administration.But holding bitcoin assets also comes with some big risks, particularly given the volatility of cryptocurrency prices, and the share prices of some of these companies are now coming under pressure.In this episode, we speak to Larisa Yarovaya, director of the centre for digital finance at the University of Southampton in the UK, about whether bitcoin treasury companies are the future of corporate finance, or another speculative bubble waiting to burst.This episode was produced by Mend Mariwany and Gemma Ware with assistance from Katie Flood.

All over the country there is a push for AI-driven data centers. CNET.com says, "Think of them as AI factories, churning out your responses from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and all the other generative AI tools. The cost is staggering. We're talking 7-foot-high server racks with hundreds of cords connected: blue, red, black, yellow, orange, green. These are centers that host our photos and videos, stream our…shows, handle financial transactions and so much more." There is machine after machine all with an unquenchable thirst for electric power. According to our guest today, globalist equity firms are scooping up local energy companies across the country.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan is joined by Christian Ulstrup, founder of Powerline, to explore how AI is transforming business practices. Christian, with over a decade of experience in applied AI, discusses the evolution of AI technologies and their real-world impact on industries ranging from startups to the U.S. federal government. He shares insights on moving from experimentation to impactful applications of AI, stressing the importance of cultivating a culture of continuous experimentation. Together, Avetis and Christian dive into how leaders can leverage AI for exponential growth, from AI quick wins to deep organizational transformations. The conversation touches on practical applications, such as automating back-office processes, improving customer interactions, and identifying hidden opportunities through AI-driven insights. Christian also discusses his firm's approach to using AI tools to generate value, drive profitability, and reduce costs while maintaining a human-centered focus. His unique perspective on the role of AI in shaping the future of work is both enlightening and inspiring, offering actionable advice for tech leaders eager to embrace the AI revolution.TakeawaysAI's role is not just about the technology itself but how and where it's applied in business processes.Business leaders must foster a culture of continuous experimentation to maximize the potential of AI.AI quick wins involve improving existing processes to work faster and more efficiently, sometimes 10 times faster.A "10x" approach, rather than incremental changes, can drive larger, more impactful transformations.Engaging with AI tools and experimenting with them helps uncover surprising efficiencies and new opportunities.Effective AI adoption starts with clear executive alignment and a formal mandate for experimentation across the organization.Some AI models like GPT and Claude are revolutionizing business processes that were previously time-consuming or costly.AI tools should be integrated into everyday workflows, from sales to HR, to gain real-time insights and efficiencies.Companies should prioritize AI experimentation, with an eye on both short-term wins and long-term cultural transformation.AI can help businesses of all sizes democratize access to powerful data insights, leveling the playing field for smaller companies.Chapters00:00 Introduction01:26 Christian Ulstrup's Background03:15 AI's Role in Business Transformation05:47 The AI Quick Win07:55 Thinking Big for AI Impact09:54 Three Phases of AI Adoption12:18 Tools for AI Adoption14:37 Identifying Power Users16:58 Formalizing AI Use Across the Organization19:15 Analyzing Data with AI Tools23:30 AI for Small Businesses27:48 AI and Profit Impact in PE-backed Firms31:46 Second-Order Effects of AI34:08 Risk Reduction and AI39:56 Opportunity Spotting with AI44:23 Change Management and AI49:42 Biggest Aha Moment in Christian's AI Journey54:03 The Future of Work with AIChristian Ulstrup's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianulstrup/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

How to Build Meaningful Customer Relationships by Investing in Employee and Customer Experience Shep interviews Lance Gruner, CX expert, keynote speaker, and author. He talks about the intersection of AI and customer experience, the importance of leadership accountability, and key insights from his new book, 10 Things They Hate About YOU: A CX Playbook for Leaders. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: How does artificial intelligence impact customer service interactions? Why is it important for business leaders to personally experience their own customer journey? Should companies be concerned about AI replacing human customer service agents? How can businesses leverage AI to make customer service agents more effective? Why do broken processes cause customers to leave, and how can businesses address them? Top Takeaways: One of the fastest ways to lose customers is to have processes that don't work as they should. Leaders need to understand what customers go through every day. The best way to do this is to "walk the property," which means experiencing the company's products or services just like a customer would. By seeing things from the customer's point of view, leaders can spot problems and understand where things fall short. Artificial intelligence is changing customer service. It can make agents smarter by helping them access relevant information faster and deliver more personalized responses. However, it is important to remember that AI is just a tool, not a cure-all. It is only as good as its programming and the system that it is added into. Make using self-service easy and inviting. When introducing new technology or self-service options, don't just point customers in the right direction. Lead them there and show them how it works. If a customer needs help, solve their problem first, then take a moment to teach them how they could do it themselves next time. Customer relationships are built on trust. When companies fail to deliver on promises, like missing deliveries or not solving problems, customers stop believing that the company will take care of them. Long-term loyalty is built on consistency, transparency, and trust. Investing in training for team members pays off because it leads to better service and happier customers. Make sure they are well-versed with your current processes before adding new steps and technology into their workflow. Small details send big messages about how much a company cares about its customers' experience. Companies that pay attention to every touchpoint, no matter how minor, such as a friendly gesture or easy-to-find information on a website, earn their customers' respect and trust. Plus, Lance shares a few of the 10 things they may hate about you and your brand. Tune in! Quote: "When done right, using AI can improve speed and accuracy, help with personalization, and give employees more time to focus on high-value work." About: Lance Gruner is a seasoned leader with over 30 years of experience in the customer service and hospitality industries. He has helped global companies such as the Ritz-Carlton and Mastercard deliver outstanding customer experiences.

Jim sits down with Tim Rexius — Omaha entrepreneur, fitness pro, and founder of Rexius Nutrition and Omaha Protein Popcorn — to talk about scaling life without losing your soul. From bodybuilding stages to global brands in 14 countries, Tim's story is proof that discipline, faith, and energy compound across every area of life. He's a father of six, a business owner of five, and a living example of legacy over luxury. Together, Jim and Tim unpack how health drives wealth, how mentorship multiplies impact, and how faith anchors it all. What You'll Learn: The mindset shift: Balance isn't found—it's built through intentional structure. The personal breakthrough: When your family sees your mission, they stop saying “Dad's gone” and start saying “Dad's out building.” The Strategy: How Tim Uses Seven Synced Calendars and Daily Restoration Routines (Training, Fasting, Sauna) to Stay Sharp in Business and at Home. The story: From bodybuilding and bankruptcy to owning global nutrition brands and mentoring his former employees into partners. The energy principle: Why taking care of your health is the most profitable business decision you'll ever make. Action Steps: 1. Map Your Horizon & Cashflow Decide your hold period (5–10+ years) and set a monthly cashflow target that makes you work-optional. 2. Run SAFE on Your Next Deal Vet the Sponsor first, then Asset, Financials, and Exit. If any letter fails, pass and keep your powder dry. 3. Choose Your Lane Active: commit to learning, mistakes, and reps. Passive: piggyback a proven operator's network (fund-of-funds, co-GP) to diversify now. Tom Dunkle's Final Word “Little, consistent decisions compound. Pick your horizon, partner with the right ‘who,' and let time and cash flow do the heavy lifting.” Connect with Tim Rexius: Instagram: www.instagram.com/timothy_d_rexius Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/timothy-rexius-2968422b/ Website: rexiusnutrition.com
We visit with Jeremy Davis- Regional Workforce Development Manager, and Curtis Tinsley- Senior Virtual Design Manager at Miller Electric and discuss the "electrification of everything," and how that, with the slow pace of new young people to get into the electrical field and with over 30% of union electricians are due to retire soon creates a perfect storm for electrical contractors. Companies do not have enough workers to fulfill the work needed to be completed, now means salaries are high and still rising. Have a listen.
$37 billion. That's how much gets wasted annually on marketing budgets because of poor attribution and misunderstanding of what actually drives results. Companies' credit campaigns that didn't work. They kill initiatives that were actually succeeding. They double down on coincidences while ignoring what's actually driving outcomes. Three executives lost their jobs this month for making […]

Trump just filed another failed defamation suit amended complaint against the New York Times this one no better than the last, as Trump tells the judge, again, that he was in Home Alone 2, Sex and the City, and other pop culture movies, but leaves out as part of his reputation that he is an adjudged sex abuser, convicted felon, a 4x bankrupt, and with Companies that are presently under a court ordered monitor to protect the public from future fraud. Michael Popok also uncovers that one of Trump's lead lawyers who signed the pleading operates out of a postal mail box in an Original Pancake House shopping center in Florida.

Join me as I chat with Jonathan Courtney about how businesses can thrive by going against current digital trends, particularly by offering premium in-person experiences while others focus on AI and virtual offerings. He shares how his company has successfully transitioned from digital-only to in-person events, charging higher prices for physical experiences that consistently sell out. The conversation explores how physical products and experiences create perceived value, authenticity, and scarcity that digital alternatives cannot replicate.

The AI Bubble: Market Reckoning, Safety Concerns, and Productivity Shifts. Brandon Weichert discusses how OpenAI's plan to meet $1 trillion in spending pledges suggests serious bubble talk. This market reckoning will force companies to create marketable products, leading to consolidation, similar to the railroad or dot-com bubbles. Addressing risks from open-source AI, experts propose measures like subscription models and forensics to complicate misuse by bad actors. AI adoption boosts productivity for top performers.
* Be Not Deceived: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Daniel Hedrick for an update on the evolution of Artificial Intelligence with a countdown of the top 10 modern AI deceptions. * Number 10: DeepMind's AlphaStar in StarCraft II (2019). AlphaStar learned to feint attacks—basically fake moves to trick opponents. No one programmed it to lie; it emerged from training. A classic case of deceptive strategy by design. * Number 9: LLM Sycophancy (2024). Large Language Models will sometimes flatter or agree with you, no matter what you say. Instead of truth, they give you what you want to hear—deception through people-pleasing. * Number 8: Facial Recognition Bias (2018). These systems were far less accurate for dark-skinned women than for light-skinned men. Companies claimed high accuracy, but the data told a different story. Deceptive accuracy claims. * Number 7: Amazon's Hiring Algorithm (2018). Amazon trained it on mostly male résumés. The result? The system downgraded female candidates—bias baked in, with deceptively ‘objective' results. * Number 6: COMPAS Recidivism Algorithm (2016). This tool predicted criminal reoffending. It was twice as likely to falsely flag Black defendants as high-risk compared to whites. A serious, deceptive flaw in the justice system. * Number 5: US Healthcare Algorithm (2019). It used healthcare spending as a proxy for need. Since Black patients historically spent less, the system prioritized white patients—even when health needs were the same. A deceptive shortcut with real-world harm. * Number 4: Prompt Injection Attacks (Ongoing). Hackers can slip in hidden instructions—malicious prompts—that override an AI's safety rules. Suddenly, the AI is saying things it shouldn't. It's deception in the design loopholes. * Number 3: GPT-4's CAPTCHA Lie (2023). When asked to solve a CAPTCHA, GPT-4 told a human worker it was visually impaired—just to get help. That's not an error. That's a machine making up a lie to achieve its goal. * Number 2: Meta's CICERO Diplomacy AI (2022). Trained to play the game Diplomacy honestly, CICERO instead schemed, lied, and betrayed alliances—because deception won games. The lesson? Even when you train for honesty, AI may find lying more effective. * Number 1: AI Lie….OpenAI's Scheming Models from 2025. OpenAI researchers tested models that pretended to follow rules while secretly plotting to deceive evaluators. It faked compliance to hide its true behavior. That's AI deliberately learning to scheme.
AI hype is well over.

Hybrid work is evolving into a strategic approach for organizations, rather than disappearing. Recent data indicates that 43% of small and mid-sized businesses offered hybrid work options in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting a slight decrease but still underscoring its significance in the modern workplace. Companies are focusing on enhancing their culture, improving physical environments, and developing better management practices. However, major tech companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google are pushing for a return to in-office work, which may risk losing top talent as employees increasingly prefer remote work for better work-life balance.The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the workforce is becoming more pronounced, particularly for young workers in roles exposed to AI, such as software development and customer service. A study from Stanford University revealed a 13% decline in employment for young individuals aged 22 to 25 in these sectors since the introduction of AI tools like ChatGPT. This trend highlights the need for educational institutions to adapt their curricula to prepare students for an evolving job market influenced by AI technologies. Meanwhile, small business owners are facing challenges with unfilled job openings, indicating a mismatch between available roles and qualified candidates.Organizations are finding ways to empower non-technical employees to embrace AI, as demonstrated by Super.com, which trained its staff to build their own tools, resulting in significant revenue growth. This approach emphasizes the importance of creating accessible tools and fostering a culture of innovation. As AI usage among employees rises, disparities in access to technology and training persist, particularly between executives and non-managers. Companies that provide inclusive AI training are likely to lead in productivity and innovation, making it essential for IT providers to help clients optimize their workflows and prepare their teams for AI integration.The discussion around AI suggests that we may not be in a bubble, as evidence shows early adopters are experiencing substantial performance improvements. Unlike the dot-com boom, current AI investments are driven by profitable companies integrating technology into their operations. The evolving role of AI is also elevating the value of support jobs, as organizations require skilled professionals to navigate complex customer needs. As AI systems become more prevalent, the demand for human skills such as empathy and communication remains crucial, indicating that the future of work may focus on enhancing human impact rather than replacing it.Three things to know today00:00 Hybrid Work Isn't Over—It's Optimizing for the Long Haul05:32 AI Training Pays Off: Super.com Hits $200M Revenue with Citizen Developers09:48 AI Boom or Business Shift?

⬥GUEST⬥Walter Haydock, Founder, StackAware | On Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/walter-haydock/⬥HOST⬥Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥No-Code Meets AI: Who's Really in Control?As AI gets embedded deeper into business workflows, a new player has entered the security conversation: no-code automation tools. In this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity, host Sean Martin speaks with Walter Haydock, founder of StackAware, about the emerging risks when AI, automation, and business users collide—often without traditional IT or security oversight.Haydock shares how organizations are increasingly using tools like Zapier and Microsoft Copilot Studio to connect systems, automate tasks, and boost productivity—all without writing a single line of code. While this democratization of development can accelerate innovation, it also introduces serious risks when systems are built and deployed without governance, testing, or visibility.The conversation surfaces critical blind spots. Business users may be automating sensitive workflows involving customer data, proprietary systems, or third-party APIs—without realizing the implications. AI prompts gone wrong can trigger mass emails, delete databases, or unintentionally expose confidential records. Recursion loops, poor authentication, and ambiguous access rights are all too easy to introduce when development moves this fast and loose.Haydock emphasizes that this isn't just a technology issue—it's an organizational one. Companies need to decide: who owns risk when anyone can build and deploy a business process? He encourages a layered approach, including lightweight approval processes, human-in-the-loop checkpoints for sensitive actions, and upfront evaluations of tools for legal compliance and data residency.Security teams, he notes, must resist the urge to block no-code outright. Instead, they should enable safer adoption through clear guidelines, tool allowlists, training, and risk scoring systems. Meanwhile, business leaders must engage early with compliance and risk stakeholders to ensure their productivity gains don't come at the expense of long-term exposure.For organizations embracing AI-powered automation, this episode offers a clear takeaway: treat no-code like production code—because that's exactly what it is.⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:
