In this episode of Practical AI, Chris and Daniel explore the fascinating world of agentic AI for drone and robotic swarms, which is Chris's passion and professional focus. They unpack how autonomous vehicles (UxV), drones (UaV), and other autonomous multi-agent systems can collaborate without centralized control while exhibiting complex emergent behavior with agency and self-governance to accomplish a mission or shared goals. Chris and Dan delve into the role of AI real-time inference and edge computing to enable complex agentic multi-model autonomy, especially in challenging environments like disaster zones and remote industrial operations.Featuring:Chris Benson – Website, LinkedIn, Bluesky, GitHub, XDaniel Whitenack – Website, GitHub, XLinks:ROS - Robotic Operating SystemGazeboHugging Face Agents CourseSwarm Robotics | WikipediaChris's definition of Swarming:Swarming occurs when numerous independent fully-autonomous multi-agentic platforms exhibit highly-coordinated locomotive and emergent behaviors with agency and self-governance in any domain (air, ground, sea, undersea, space), functioning as a single independent logical distributed decentralized decisioning entity for purposes of C3 (command, control, communications) with human operators on-the-loop, to implement actions that achieve strategic, tactical, or operational effects in the furtherance of a mission.© 2025 Chris BensonSponsors:Outshift by Cisco: AGNTCY is an open source collective building the Internet of Agents.

While most people regularly check their blood pressure or glucose, few consider routinely assessing their body's ability to move—and yet, this may be just as crucial to long-term health. Andrew Menter, CEO of Physmodo, joined Peter Bowes to explore the software company's mission to raise the profile of movement as a vital sign of good health. Andrew shares his personal journey from a career in law and finance to entrepreneurship in movement science, motivated in part by his athletic pursuits and the injuries that accompanied them. He discusses Physmodo's innovative use of computer vision technology, enabling self-assessment of mobility and posture via simple smartphone or tablet tools—making this once-specialized information accessible to everyone, not just elite athletes. He highlights the power of early intervention, the surprising ways movement influences sleep and mental health, and the growing importance of personalized preventive care.  PartiQlar supplementsEnhance your wellness journey with PartiQlar supplements.

In the first episode of an "AI in the shadows" theme, Chris and Daniel explore the increasing concerning world of agentic misalignment. Starting out with a reminder about hallucinations and reasoning models, they break down how today's models only mimic reasoning, which can lead to serious ethical considerations. They unpack a fascinating (and slightly terrifying) new study from Anthropic, where agentic AI models were caught simulating blackmail, deception, and even sabotage — all in the name of goal completion and self-preservation. Featuring:Chris Benson – Website, LinkedIn, Bluesky, GitHub, XDaniel Whitenack – Website, GitHub, XLinks:Agentic Misalignment: How LLMs could be insider threatsHugging Face Agents CourseRegister for upcoming webinars here!

Welcome to B The Way Forward Interludes - a series of conversations that don't necessarily fit in our regular season, but are just too good to not share. Heard something about AI Lately? Have those two letters shown up in just about every app you use - whether you want them to or not? Yeah. Same. These days, it seems like  you can't go an hour without hearing that Artificial Intelligence is going to radically remake our world. But… is it? There's so much hype it can be hard to really know what people even mean when they say AI. It  can't all be ChatGPT helping you with cover letters and AI-generated images of the Balenciaga Pope, can it? Dr. Timnit Gebru is one of the voices speaking loudly and honestly about AI outside of the Big Tech hype bubble. And she has the bonafides to back that up. Timnit holds a BA, Masters and a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Vision from Stanford. Plus, She co-led Google's Ethical AI research team… until, in 2020, she and her co-lead sounded the alarm about the potential harms of large language models in a paper they titled “On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big.”  That paper led to an abrupt end to her time at Google. But Timnit hasn't stopped working on how AI and Machine Learning can be developed in ways that serve all communities - most recently as the co-founder and Executive Director of DAIR. In part 1 of our  2-part conversation, we talk about what AI is and isn't, the difference between AI summers and AI winters, and why bigger isn't always better when it comes to language Models.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – how the Algorithm Connects Us All Revisited AZ TRT 2.0 – S06 EP08 (270) 5-11-2025   What We Learned This Week: AI is inter-connected with so many technologies & you use AI often on a daily basis AI is a part of almost all industries from Healthcare, Finance to Defense Human in the Loop - humans will always be needed to Interpret the Data, but AI will assist Software Teams must be managed so the product is integrated properly in the bigger picture   Moore's Law – Each year computing power grows 2x as fast, but cuts the cost in half   Guests: Naru (Narendran Muraleedharan), CEO / Founder of StaxAI – formerly Inventives & Aptus AI https://stax.ai/   linkedin.com/in/naru95       Bio: At Stax.ai, we empower retirement plan TPAs to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and deliver exceptional client experiences. Our innovative platform automates census data collection, payroll integrations, trust accounting, and client communication, all while providing actionable insights through AI-driven tools. Trusted by TPAs managing thousands of plans, Stax.ai transforms administrative burdens into seamless workflows, enabling you to focus on what matters most—growing your business and strengthening client relationships.   Past Bio: Inventives / Aptus AI is a software solutions and artificial intelligence development and consulting firm. They provide aerospace, mechanical, and software engineering services to companies around the world. The Team is strong, and well-rounded consisting of engineers, developers, and physicists that focus on solving problems at the root. They help take ideas or concepts and build prototypes and deployments in very short periods of time with tight budgets while maintaining the best quality and client satisfaction. The main fields of expertise are RPA, Web App Development, Solutions Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Simulation Systems.   Note**: This interview was recorded in Oct. 2021 (S02 EP 43 (90) 10-24-21), since then Naru has changed the company name. Also, the BRT podcast has changed to AZ Tech Roundtable.   Notes: Seg. 2 - 4 Naru returns to the show talking tech, software, and AI. His team is always developing new applications with AI in healthcare, finance, biotech, & aerospace. Naru shows how so many technologies are connected and what the future of business looks like. Inventives is the new company, with the same core technology team, but focusing the business into a venture studio by creating new AI projects for companies not yet using AI. Inventives new projects can become spinoff companies with this new technology.  They work with B2B clients and also Investors for these types of companies.   Radiology is a current project to enhance the patient experience using AI – called SKIP. This project is on the Operations side to make the patient process of paperwork, payments, etc. to be automated (& efficient) with AI working with the patient. This will be stand alone, but if adopted by other medical offices over the long term can streamline the healthcare industry. Naru and his team are working on document management, where their AI program will be able to read documents and determine what the info is. Rising Cloud is another project they are building that manages a company cloud usage to improve costs.   Moore's Law – Each year computing power grows 2x as fast, but cuts the cost in half Cloud Computing happens in the cloud and internet for your programming vs Edge Computing that happens right on your phone and does not need to go out to the cloud. Bigger the data request or process determines if Cloud or Edge is the best choice. People interact with AI (Artificial Intelligence) daily on their phone, email, internet search and beyond. User Agreements in your phone or websites you use say they can take your search data and use it to enhance your experience.   AI Search uses past searches by you, vs what are the popular other searches by other people on the internet. It happens so fast and has the best / popular search options loading before you are even done typing. This is called a Recommendation Engine, just like Netflix or Amazon find shows or products you may like. These recs are similar to what you have watched or bought previously, or in similar genres. The downside is you may not see different options, just more of the same. AI determines what you see daily on the internet, and can create a silo effect. Inventives uses a common solution, called Human in the Loop to review what the AI is doing. Then the searches or recommendations are reviewed to see how accurate they are.  Healthcare AI is assisting doctors, and even finding issues that humans have missed in a radiology study. AI has no bias, and does not get tired. The computer can repeat processes and be consistent.   Key technologies of the day are constantly overlapping – AI, Big Data, Cloud, SaaS Software, etc. This tech can work with each other, and new software can build on top of these applications. Open AI created a product with AI that builds AI software. Naru's Software Teams have different backgrounds of math, engineering or physics who are self taught on software and think more about the solution vs thinking in terms of coding. There are small groups of 2 to 4 people in a team with a Solutions Architect running the small team and determining how the software interacts in the bigger picture. Often some of the best software involved very small teams. Lot of testing and compliance control goes into to creating big software projects that can involve multiple teams. Same issue if building an upgrade to a software that merges with the previous version.   Rewind Clip (Seg. 1) – Replay of a segment from Naru's last appearance on BRT in 11/2020 He talks AI and the morality of the technology. How can a programmer control their product, and what it will be used for in the real world. Naru chose the name Aptus because it is Latin for Apt or Appropriate – design products that works for the clients Chaos Theory / Jurassic Park – Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should Aptus gets defense contracts as sub-contractor of companies partnered with military. Aptus studies the end applications for what they are requested to build, to determine if they will take the project. Morality is considered, but not always applicable to see where a product may go until it is built. AI software is programmed to build more software, AI building more AI. Per Naru there are companies trying to develop AI weapons that can kill on their own, and robots being controlled by AI already. Aptus has Liability Insurance to protect their projects.       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT    Thanks for Listening.

Today, we're joined by Jason Corso, co-founder of Voxel51 and professor at the University of Michigan, to explore automated labeling in computer vision. Jason introduces FiftyOne, an open-source platform for visualizing datasets, analyzing models, and improving data quality. We focus on Voxel51's recent research report, “Zero-shot auto-labeling rivals human performance,” which demonstrates how zero-shot auto-labeling with foundation models can yield to significant cost and time savings compared to traditional human annotation. Jason explains how auto-labels, despite being "noisier" at lower confidence thresholds, can lead to better downstream model performance. We also cover Voxel51's "verified auto-labeling" approach, which utilizes a "stoplight" QA workflow (green, yellow, red light) to minimize human review. Finally, we discuss the challenges of handling decision boundary uncertainty and out-of-domain classes, the differences between synthetic data generation in vision and language domains, and the potential of agentic labeling.

Intenseye is revolutionizing industrial safety by connecting to existing camera systems in manufacturing facilities and using AI to detect unsafe conditions in real-time. Having raised $93 million to date, the company has developed a platform that runs over 120 AI models analyzing 50+ safety use cases at manufacturing sites globally. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we spoke with Sercan Esen, CEO and Co-Founder of Intenseye, about his journey from software engineer to category-creating founder, and how his company is addressing the staggering problem of workplace fatalities – 2.4 million people losing their lives annually in industrial accidents.   Topics Discussed: Intenseye's origin story and mission to save lives in manufacturing How the platform transforms existing cameras into "24/7 safety supervisors" The challenge of creating a new category in industrial safety Building an account-based marketing engine from scratch The evolution from a proof-of-concept to an enterprise-ready solution Scaling from single facility deployments to managing 100+ site implementations How real-time detection differs fundamentally from traditional EHS platforms   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Learn directly from your customers on category creation: "We came up with those category names. We named those use cases and main categories and we expanded them under like 50 new use cases too... So I would say the number one thing that we do really well is relying on our customers, our users on the front lines, and how they use our platform and operationalize and what they call it." Sercan emphasized the importance of letting your customers help shape how you define and communicate about your new category, rather than imposing terminology on them. Immerse yourself in your customer's world: Sercan personally visited over 50 manufacturing facilities in the first two years and even worked production lines to understand the environment. "I was making ice creams for a week, cars for another week. And I was working right next to frontline teams to learn more." This deep immersion helped Intenseye build a solution that truly addressed the realities of their customers' environments rather than creating a theoretical solution from a distance. Iterate your go-to-market motion with the help of early customers: The Intenseye team originally envisioned a self-serve, product-led growth model but quickly realized enterprise sales was the right approach. Sercan recalls: "I remember my first call with the procurement leader from a largest customer and he was challenging me and I said, 'Look, this is the first time I'm doing this. Can you tell me how you guys want to buy this? You tell me and I will just figure this out.' And he gave me amazing insights." This willingness to learn from customers shaped their land-and-expand strategy and pricing model. Deeply understand stakeholder concerns to drive adoption: When implementing computer vision in industrial settings, Sercan's team anticipated potential resistance and built solutions proactively: "We are always aggressively cautious about the implementation of computer vision technology because immediate reaction might be 'Hey, this is Big Brother...' But these are all wrong. We spend a lot of time with unions, frontline teams, building anonymization around blurring the entire body at the camera level, thumbnail level, and everything... to earn their trust, earn their hearts and minds." Create targeted marketing content that demonstrates your exact solution: Rather than generic marketing, Intenseye built a video engine that could analyze customer video footage using their AI, showing precisely how their system would work in a prospect's actual environment. "I posted on LinkedIn, promoted in the region where I know that account could see our video... I remember couple hours later it was a meeting booked from the VP of Healthcare Safety with a note: 'Hey, I'm really interested about this solution.'" This approach of showing exactly how you solve the specific problem has become the foundation of their marketing strategy.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

Controlling weeds on farms is a sticky, two part challenge. First, you've got to identify the weeds, as distinct from the plants you want to grow. Then, you've got to destroy the undesirables and keep the rest. For today's farmers, these two tasks can seem straightforward, but to do them at the scale required in modern agriculture– not so much. Identifying weeds, especially with computer vision, is a topic we discussed on the podcast last year, and now we're circling back to talk about the available solutions on the destruction side. Herbicides have been the unchallenged behemoth in this space for decades, but as issues with efficacy and environmental impact mount, farmers are increasingly looking to other options. In the last few years we've seen many novel solutions– from mechanical tools to microwaves to flamethrowers. This week, we're sitting down with Liam Hescock, Founder and CEO of Azaneo, one of our portfolio companies, to talk about their solution– which harnesses the power of electricity. For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.
