AI adoption in the tech sector has reached a tipping point, and the latest EY Technology Pulse poll offers a fascinating look at just how quickly things are moving. In this episode, I'm joined by Ken Englund, Partner at EY, to unpack the survey's findings and what they reveal about the next two years of AI in enterprise. Conducted with 500 senior tech executives from companies with more than 5,000 employees, the poll focuses on AI agents, autonomous deployments, and the shifting priorities that are shaping investment strategies. Ken shares why half of the respondents expect more than 50% of their AI deployments to be fully autonomous within 24 months, and why optimism around AI's potential remains high. He also explains a notable shift away from last year's heavy focus on large language models toward applied AI and agentic systems designed to handle real-world business workflows. While 92% of tech leaders plan to increase AI spending in 2026, the investment isn't solely about technology—it's about competitiveness, customer experience, and strategic alignment. One of the more surprising takeaways is the human side of the equation. Despite headlines predicting widespread job losses, only 9% of respondents anticipate layoffs in the next six months, down from 20% last year. Instead, companies are balancing upskilling existing staff with bringing in new AI talent, with roles emerging in areas like MLOps, AI product management, and forward-deployed engineering. Ken and I also dive into the growing weight of governance, data privacy, and security. With autonomous agents becoming more embedded in core operations, boards, CFOs, and audit teams are taking a closer look at trust frameworks without wanting to slow innovation. The conversation highlights a critical inflection point: most companies are still in the “automating existing workflows” phase, but the real breakthroughs will come when AI enables entirely new business models. This episode is a snapshot of a sector in rapid evolution—where enthusiasm is tempered by lessons learned, and where the road from pilot to production is still full of challenges.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Steve Corbesero, Jr., Senior Director of Products and Solutions at MachineQ, a Comcast Company, about the findings from their new Lab of the Future survey. Conducted with Censuswide, the study gathered insights from more than 400 U.S.-based lab professionals, revealing both the opportunities and persistent pain points shaping modern laboratory operations. Steve unpacks why nearly 60% of labs still face unplanned downtime from equipment failures, missed calibration schedules, and asset location issues. We discuss how manual monitoring remains the norm for over half of labs surveyed, and why 14% have no monitoring system in place at all. Despite these challenges, there's a clear appetite for change, with 85% planning to adopt IoT solutions and 87% intending to integrate AI and machine learning into their workflows over the next two years. Our conversation explores the operational impact of disconnected systems, the risks of relying on spreadsheets, and the role of real-time monitoring in preventing costly disruptions. Steve shares practical examples of how IoT and AI are already helping labs shift from reactive to proactive management, from anomaly detection that reduces alert fatigue to intelligent data summaries that give lab managers actionable insights without hours of manual analysis. We also talk about the barriers holding some labs back from adoption, including pilot purgatory, budget constraints, and integration challenges. Steve offers his perspective on how future-ready labs will differentiate themselves—by embracing connected infrastructure, unifying data, and embedding AI into both scientific and operational workflows. If you want to understand what's really happening inside modern labs, and how emerging technology can transform efficiency, productivity, and innovation, this episode offers a clear, data-backed view of the road ahead.

In March, the volunteer moderators of the Change My View subreddit learned that researchers at the University of Zurich had been covertly conducting an experiment on their community members. By injecting AI-generated comments and posts into conversations, the researchers had wanted to measure the persuasiveness of AI. There was one big problem: They didn't tell community members that they were being experimented on. They didn't tell the community moderators. They didn't tell Reddit's corporate team. Only when they were getting ready to publish, did they disclose their actions. It then became clear that beyond the lack of consent, they had engaged in other questionable behavior: Their AI-written contributions had spanned multiple accounts, pretending to be a rape victim, a trauma counselor focusing on abuse, a Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter, and more. Community response was swift: Overwhelmingly, members were unhappy. The moderators insisted the research not be published. Reddit threatened legal action. Initially, the researchers were defiant but eventually, they apologized and pledged not to publish the research. Change My View volunteer moderator Logan MacGregor joins the show to discuss what went on behind the scenes, plus: The danger of publishing the research Reaction to the apology How AI is going to challenge the idea of trusting an online community Big Quotes Blame the manipulators, not the members and moderators (1:49): “Manipulation in online communities has existed forever. What's happening with [AI is] the believability, the speed at which people can do it. … The fault always rests with the person who chooses to manipulate the community. It's easy to fool people … and to do something that undermines the trust of something. It's harder to build trust.” -Patrick O'Keefe Why a promise not to publish was important (13:21): “From my perspective, I think the things that we wanted the most [from the researchers were] an apology and a promise not to publish. The second was really important because we were concerned that if this was published in a peer-review journal … if it was elevated to a prominent journal, that our community, which is supposed to be a protected human space, would now become just another sandbox for researchers. We felt very strongly that it should not be published. … Unfortunately, it didn't land well.” -Logan MacGregor When a community leader stands for their community, they often stand for all communities (14:52): “When one community person – a volunteer, a host, a person in this line of work – stands up for their community, they stand up for all communities.” -Patrick O'Keefe Just because bad comments exist online doesn't mean new ones won't cause harm (20:10): “So much of what [the researchers] did to try to prevent harm was to say ‘comments like this happen all the time online, we don't think that it's going to cause individual trauma.' We kind of dispute that because some of the comments are [you] pretending to be a trauma counselor and maybe that could actually cause some harm. … I don't think they thought enough about community impact until after the community screamed ‘ouch.'” -Logan MacGregor You can't just blame AI for this (22:52): “One thing that's really special about Change My View is that it's a human space; it's a decidedly human space. … The University of Zurich is a decidedly human space. What I think is so insidious about AI is it's caused people to behave in ways that I don't know we would have, without the stupid thinking machines. Because it's a toxic influence. Unlike the bots that are invading us daily, that we're constantly shutting down. … “That hurts a little bit more than just dealing with bots, because this wasn't just bots. These are people interacting with other people, and there was a human element there. The researchers are real people. I'm a real person. This happened between real people, and it wasn't just AI.” -Logan MacGregor How did the community respond when the experiment was disclosed? (24:47): “I would say there was this collective outrage [from the community]. … It was a unique and singular violation of the ethos of the sub, and it was especially palpable because there are a lot of researchers and research-affiliated people that are fond of the sub. It seemed like: We protect national parks, and we have national monuments – these protected spaces – and it almost felt on that level. Of all the places to do this, why Change My View?” -Logan MacGregor Researchers can help online communities in this moment, but not if they can't be trusted (34:13): “One of the things that I worry about when it comes to AI is it's probably going to chip away … at this idea of having protected online spaces, because if in-person conversations are the only way that you can validate that you're not talking to a robot, then this thing that we created called the internet, it's going to cease to have value at all. “That's the fear, and I have hope that we're going to be able to figure out a way to get past that challenge, but I'm scratching my head as to how we would do that. The true tragedy in this whole piece is that the very people that I think are best equipped to help us navigate that space are now distrusted because of this experiment. We need to heal that, and I don't know how that's going to happen.” -Logan MacGregor About Logan MacGregor Logan MacGregor is a member of the volunteer mod team on r/changemyview. Drawing from a unique blend of experience including social work, administration, program management, project management (including research-based projects), policy, strategic development, and emergency management, Logan is a credentialed Type 3 Planning Section Chief that is planning to complete the Master's program at the Center for Homeland Defense and Security, with a thesis likely focusing on information campaigns.

Episode 71 What if the official story is a lie? In this episode, you'll hear from someone who was there that night—an employee who worked the wedding reception in the Zebra Room just hours before it ignited. For decades, she stayed silent. But now, she's ready to talk. And what she has to say could rewrite everything we thought we knew about the fire. She says the investigators were hiding something. She says this fire wasn't an accident. And she saw the warning signs with her own eyes. Part 4 takes you deeper into the chaos of the fire's spread, the timeline of the flashover, and the failure of exits that left hundreds trapped. But this time, we're seeing it through the eyes of someone who was inside—and who believes the Beverly Hills Supper Club was built to burn.

Ovagen Group Limited, an innovation-led Irish biotech, has announced groundbreaking results from a Yellow Fever virus yield study that could transform the economics of global vaccine manufacturing. Conducted at The Pirbright Institute (UK), a world-renowned centre tackling viral diseases of livestock, the comparative study showed that Ovagen's Germ Free embryonated chicken eggs delivered up to 7,600 doses of yellow fever virus 17D per egg compared to just 422 doses per Specified Pathogen-Free (SPF) Egg using current industry standards. With a current global shortfall of 60 million yellow fever vaccines per year, Ovagen's technology can help scale up production of yellow fever vaccine production by reducing reliance on key raw material inputs such as SPF eggs, antibiotics, and downstream processing resources. More than 140,000 eggs would be required to satisfy the current global shortfall using current industry standards compared with just 7,894 eggs using Ovagen's technology. The improved yield also dramatically reduces the volume of antibiotics typically required in conventional egg-based manufacturing, helping to mitigate risks associated with antimicrobial resistance and lowering overall production costs. Speaking about the results of the study, Dr. Catherine Caulfield, CEO of Ovagen said: "What we have developed isn't incremental, it's a complete rethink of the vaccine manufacturing process. Our germ free egg platform eliminates bacterial contamination and reduces the need for antibiotics in vaccine production, while delivering significantly higher viral yield. This is high-impact science with high-value commercial outcomes." The results of the Pirbright Institute study using Ovagen's technology demonstrated that: Ovagen Germ Free eggs resulted in 7,606 doses of Yellow Fever vaccine per egg VERSUS 6 doses & 422 doses per SPF egg, respectively, from two leading SPF egg suppliers Up to a 5-fold lower interferon beta response, boosting viral replication. The technology offers immediate scalability and significant margins for manufacturers, all while reducing waste and environmental impact. For public health systems and vaccine developers alike, it enables faster response times, lower costs, and increased resilience in the face of a public health crisis. Backed by Enterprise Ireland, Ovagen represents a standout opportunity in Europe's deep tech and biotech sectors. With growing global demand for scalable, clean, and efficient vaccine platforms, the company is now positioned for rapid international growth. Tom Cusack, Head of Industrial & Life Sciences at Enterprise Ireland, said: "Enterprise Ireland is proud to support Ovagen as they continue to scale their innovation and ambition. Their germ-free egg technology shows real potential to drive greater efficiency in vaccine manufacturing, and it's encouraging to see this level of innovation emerging from the West of Ireland. Ovagen's progress highlights the strength of Ireland's biotech sector and the impact that Irish companies can have on global health challenges." Ovagen was founded with the ambitious goal of developing the world's first commercially viable germ-free egg production system for use in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Having secured over €21 million in funding through a mix of private investment, promoter funds, VC, EU research grants, and EIC Accelerator backing, the company has developed a state-of-the-art facility, secured global patent protection, sales traction and validated significantly higher viral yields compared to industry-standard SPF eggs.

We've all heard of ghosts who haunt houses, but it possible to actually MAKE a ghost in a laboratory? In 1972, a group of researchers from the 'Toronto Society for Psychical Research' set out to answer that question. For over a year they conducted an experiment aimed at making a ghost in a laboratory setting, and it seems that they actually succeeded. The ghost's name was Philip, and after they created him, he was able to interact with them. Join me as I delve deep into the fascinating story of the Philip Experiment, the most important paranormal experiment ever conducted. Contact: barrypirro@yahoo.com Website: ConnecticutGhostHunter.com

Prophetic Remixes Vol 1 – A Tribute to Prophets of Da City For me, this project is more than just a remix album—it's a personal journey, a tribute, and a deep expression of gratitude. I still remember the first time I heard Prophets of Da City (POC) back in 1990 when their debut album Our World dropped. As a hip-hop fan growing up in South Africa, their music wasn't just entertainment—it was an awakening. POC didn't just make beats and rhymes; they made history. Their hard-hitting lyrics and groundbreaking production hit me just as hard as the first time I heard Public Enemy. It was raw, urgent, and unapologetic—revolutionary in every sense. POC were more than just a hip-hop group; they were pioneers, activists, and truth-tellers. At a time when South Africa was drowning in apartheid oppression, they used their music as a weapon against injustice. From battling censorship to being exiled from their own country, their impact was undeniable. Their accolades speak for themselves: 1990: Nominated for the OKTV Award for Best New Group. 1992: Invited by Quincy Jones and Caiphus Semenya to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. 1993: Embarked on a national voter education campaign leading up to South Africa's first democratic elections. 1994: Performed at Nelson Mandela's inauguration, delivering their powerful track "Excellent, Finally Black President." 1997: Featured in Ice Cube's film Dangerous Ground. 1990s: Conducted numerous European tours, a groundbreaking achievement for any South African hip-hop group at the time. POC's influence has been so profound that they've been studied in academic works, including:

I still remember the first time I heard Prophets of Da City (POC) back in 1990 when their debut album Our World dropped. As a hip-hop fan growing up in South Africa, their music wasn't just entertainment—it was an awakening. POC didn't just make beats and rhymes; they made history. Their hard-hitting lyrics and groundbreaking production hit me just as hard as the first time I heard Public Enemy. It was raw, urgent, and unapologetic—revolutionary in every sense. POC were more than just a hip-hop group; they were pioneers, activists, and truth-tellers. At a time when South Africa was drowning in apartheid oppression, they used their music as a weapon against injustice. From battling censorship to being exiled from their own country, their impact was undeniable. Their accolades speak for themselves: 1990: Nominated for the OKTV Award for Best New Group. 1992: Invited by Quincy Jones and Caiphus Semenya to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. 1993: Embarked on a national voter education campaign leading up to South Africa's first democratic elections. 1994: Performed at Nelson Mandela's inauguration, delivering their powerful track "Excellent, Finally Black President." 1997: Featured in Ice Cube's film Dangerous Ground. 1990s: Conducted numerous European tours, a groundbreaking achievement for any South African hip-hop group at the time.

Text us a pool question!Pentair just dropped a bombshell on pool pros: effective immediately through August 31, 2025, they're capping purchase orders at 30% above your July–August 2024 levels. Anything above that? Denied.Pentair caps your buying power. The EPA quietly bans sodium bromide. And bonding? Finally, some clarity.In this episode, we tackle three major updates shaking the pool industry. First, Pentair announces a sudden cap on purchase orders—effective immediately, you're limited to just 30% above your July–August 2024 volume. We unpack why tariffs are likely behind it and what this could mean for your inventory, pricing, and timelines.Next, we break down the Pool Industry Council's landmark study on equipotential bonding. Conducted by SunSmart Engineering, the research confirms that both #8 AWG single wire loops and copper bonding grids reduce 120 VAC fault current to safe levels when installed correctly. This could finally settle the perimeter bonding debate with hard data.Finally, Rudy Stankowitz exposes the silent EPA regulation that outlawed the outdoor use of sodium bromide. No headlines, no warning—just a quiet shift that leaves pool pros carrying the burden. We discuss bromate risks, industry backlash, and what comes next.This episode is your no-fluff survival guide to navigating shifting rules, shrinking supplies, and the science that still keeps your pools safe.Sodium bromide was quietly outlawed for outdoor use.The burden of compliance shifted unexpectedly to pool professionals.Regulatory decisions were made without consulting industry experts.The label change for sodium bromide has significant implications for pool care.Bromate, a byproduct of sodium bromide, poses health risks.The EPA's decision was based on precautionary principles due to insufficient data.Pool professionals need to educate clients about these changes.Alternatives to sodium bromide may come with higher costs and longer treatment times.Industry voices must unite to advocate for fair regulations.Future studies may provide data to challenge the current ban on sodium bromide.Sound Bites"It was bureaucracy doing what it does best.""The human cost of silent regulation.""You were never considered in this decision."Chapters00:00The Silent Regulation of Sodium Bromide01:36Silver Algaecide: Treatment for Black Algae02:00Blu-ray Algaecide: How It Works Support the showThank you so much for listening!

This week's podcast episode is an insightful interview with Lisa Li, the founder of The Qi, a company dedicated to flower teas. Conducted in a serene New York City space, the discussion explores Lisa's personal health journey—from a challenging thyroid disease that was healed through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to her subsequent decision to create naturally caffeine-free herbal teas due to her sensitivity to caffeine. She highlights the medicinal properties and energetic balance of various flower teas, such as goji berries, chrysanthemum, and rose, explaining their roles as anti-inflammatory, detoxing, and nourishing agents. The interview delves into the philosophies of Eastern culinary traditions, emphasizing "light and gentle" flavors that support digestive health, contrasting them with Western preferences for "extra" flavors. A significant part of the conversation focuses on the importance of self-care and evening rituals for better sleep, advocating for herbal teas as a healthy alternative to addictive sleeping aids. Lisa also introduces several of The Qi's specific tea blends, explaining their benefits, ingredients, and the careful formulation process guided by TCM principles. Check out the show notes at https://thisismodernaging.com/podcast/ ABOUT LISA As a child who grew up Northeast of Beijing, I drank a lot of teas with my grandma. And those moments were some of the most nourishing and healing times of my life. Holistic wellness for me as a child was much like brunch… it was simply a way of a joyful life. After feeling stressed, anxious, and burnt out from working in the notoriously grueling fashion industry for 10+ years I desperately wanted to go back to a time and place where taking care of myself was simple and wonderful. In the beginning of 2018 I took a transformative trip with my mom to Shangri-la, Yunnan where I discovered the Rose tea the locals enjoy. It was so unique and special - it was like nothing I've ever had, it transported me to a whole new floral paradise universe. After tasting and testing over 100 flowering herbs and tens of thousands miles more traveled to source the finest ones The Qi was born. To bring you the most beautiful sensory tea ritual for a daily dose of Zen, beauty, and nourishment.

Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast hosted by Severin Sorensen with an episode titled "Leading with Kindness: On Executive Coaching and Cultural Intelligence." In this episode, Severin engages with Dr. Krista Crawford, a distinguished Vistage Chair, speaker, consultant, professor, and leadership strategist. Krista holds a PhD in Organizational Management and is a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR). With over 30 years of experience spanning human resources, organizational development, and executive leadership, she has significantly impacted leaders across corporate and nonprofit sectors. This episode was recorded on March 26th, 2025, via Zoom. Krista's journey into executive coaching and Vistage Chairing is as unique as it is inspiring. After decades in HR, where she led organizations with up to 8,000 employees, Krista transitioned into leadership coaching serendipitously during the COVID-19 pandemic. A neighbor introduced her to Vistage, leading to her eventual certification and the establishment of multiple peer advisory groups. Her career is deeply rooted in observing and addressing the human dynamics within organizations. Krista identified early the gaps in leadership development, particularly how some employees flourish while others feel disconnected. Her doctoral research focused on "social monitoring" and "cultural intelligence," exploring how individuals adapt and integrate into diverse cultural settings. Conducted in Belize with service-learning students, her research revealed that active engagement with local cultures significantly enhances cultural intelligence. Beyond her coaching, Krista serves as an adjunct professor at Virginia Tech and Champlain College, teaching leadership, ethics, and organizational development. She brings a rich blend of academic rigor and practical experience, leveraging her HR expertise, research acumen, and passion for continuous learning to guide executives and emerging leaders. Key Insights 1. The Art of Listening and Pausing Krista emphasizes the importance of listening to hear rather than listening to respond. In coaching, silence is a powerful tool, allowing clients to reflect deeply. She practices intentional breathing to create space for reflection and meaningful dialogue. 2. The Power of Vulnerability and Group Dynamics She highlights how vulnerability within peer groups fosters deeper trust and growth. Krista shared a pivotal moment when a group conflict tested cohesion; addressing it transparently strengthened the group's unity and resilience. 3. Job Crafting for Engagement Krista advocates for job crafting, encouraging leaders to engage employees in designing roles that align with their strengths and passions, thus enhancing satisfaction and retention. 4. Measuring Success Through Joy Joy serves as Krista's personal metric for professional fulfillment. She believes that work should bring joy and that leaders should reassess their roles when joy diminishes. 5. Use of Psychometrics and AI in Coaching Krista integrates tools like Wiley DiSC and various psychometric assessments to deepen understanding of team dynamics. She also creatively employs AI for ideation, content creation, and meeting preparation, demonstrating adaptability to emerging technologies. 6. Kindness and Continuous Learning as Guiding Values Krista's mantras of "kindness is underrated" and lifelong learning reflect her approach to leadership and coaching. She stresses the importance of being both kind and courageous in providing candid, constructive feedback. The Arete Coach Podcast explores the art and science of executive coaching.

Conducted at 34 global sites, the study enrolled 394 subjects, with 320 included in the primary analysis. Acute pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) success was achieved in over 99% of veins, and primary serious adverse events occurred in only 1.9% of patients, with no significant complications like esophageal injury or hemolysis. Procedure metrics showed efficient operation times, and early 6-month data suggest promising effectiveness. These initial findings support the Volt™ PFA system as a safe and effective treatment option for AF. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-5271(25)02168-X/fulltext Host Disclosure(s): M.
