In this special episode, Pete and Julie are joined by Sarah Severson, Sr. Manager of Compensation at Medline, live from the annual World at Work Total Rewards event in San Antonio, TX, for a practical conversation on how compensation is evolving inside fast-growing, complex organizations. The conversation explores what happens when family-owned and high-growth companies scale faster than their compensation structures, why job architecture becomes a critical foundation for everything downstream, and how M&A, global expansion, and Workday implementations expose the need for common language, cleaner data, and stronger governance. Pete, Julie, and Sarah talk the practical side of AI in compensation, from using Copilot for Excel and manager communications to experimenting with AI-assisted job grading and market cleanup. Sarah offers a grounded practitioner view on where AI can accelerate work, where human judgment still matters, and why compensation teams must balance innovation with governance, transparency, and manager enablement. Plus, a candid look at the realities of modernizing compensation in a growing enterprise, and why the future of comp is not just about better data, but better decisions, better communication, and stronger alignment across the business.

La guerra por el editor de código con IA: Cursor, Codex, ClaudeCode, Antigravity y Copilot peleando por controlar cómo programas. Lo bueno, lo feo, y qué significa para tu día a día como dev.
If you spent too much time prompting Claude's Fable 5 before it likely goes away to subscribers in 10 days, you might have missed some AI gems.
Most hotel AI conversations stay too abstract. Rob Smith, CEO and President of Stonebridge, brought it back to the work operators deal with every day: financials, trip reports, sales data, STR reports, and property-level decisions. I recorded this conversation during last week's NYU IHIF conference, where Rob shared how Stonebridge uses AI inside hotel operations right now. Stonebridge uses Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot at the corporate level, and the company has rolled out hashtag#Copilot across its hotels. Rob talked about using hashtag#AI for faster answers, better property context, and fewer wasted steps before a team has to chase another call, email, or report.
Brent Baxter, Sam Delestienne, Steve Hoffman, John Strenger, and Matt Melsen Winning a banker-run auction at 5% under the highest bid. Closing a deal when co-sellers have not spoken in months. Getting through 22 countries of employment complexity with a client who refused to work with EOR providers. Acquiring a Netherlands-based public company and discovering the due diligence documents were in Dutch. These are the problems that no playbook prepares you for. Four corp dev professionals share how they handled them, and what it cost when they got it wrong. What You'll Learn How to win a competitive auction when you're not the highest bidder What seller conflict at the closing table looks like (and how to get a deal back on track) When an employer of record works in a cross-border carve-out and when it creates permanent establishment risk Why management trust in the buyer can outweigh the highest bid number What a first European acquisition actually costs in compliance, legal, and cultural surprises If you're running deals where the numbers are right but the relationship isn't, or you're in a market you haven't operated in before, DealPilot, powered by M&A Science, connects you with advisors who have closed deals in exactly that situation. ____________________ This episode of M&A Science is presented by DealRoom.

206: Wird KI die Assistenz ersetzen, oder ihre Rolle sogar stärken? In dieser Podcast-Folge sprechen wir über die praktische Nutzung von Microsoft Copilot, den Einsatz von KI im Arbeitsalltag und die Veränderungen, die aktuell in Unternehmen stattfinden. Warum haben manche Organisationen KI bereits fest in ihrer Arbeitsweise verankert, während andere noch ganz am Anfang stehen? Welche Aufgaben lassen sich heute schon automatisieren – und wo bleibt der Mensch unverzichtbar? Außerdem geht es um typische Anwendungsfälle für Assistenzen, den Umgang mit Datenschutz, die Bedeutung von KI-Kompetenz sowie die Frage, wie sich die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Führungskräften und Assistenz durch Copilot und Agenten verändern wird. Themen der Folge: - Microsoft Copilot im Arbeitsalltag - KI für Assistenz und Office Management - Produktivität und Automatisierung - Agenten und moderne Arbeitsprozesse - Change Management und KI-Adoption - Datenschutz und Governance - Die Zukunft der Assistenzrolle - Praktische Copilot-Use-Cases aus Unternehmen Eine Folge für alle, die KI nicht nur verstehen, sondern sinnvoll im Berufsalltag einsetzen möchten.

Jim Love covers four headlines: hackers exploited Instagram's AI support bot to hijack over 20,000 accounts by abusing account recovery and password reset links, prompting Meta to disable the tool, remove faulty code, and add enhanced protections. A UN University report warns AI's environmental footprint extends beyond carbon, projecting data centers could consume 945 TWh annually by 2030 and highlighting growing demands for electricity, cooling water, land, and minerals, amid political backlash to data center incentives. A UK government review found false information from a Microsoft Copilot hallucination and other inaccuracies were included in West Midlands Police materials, pointing to failures in review and validation. CBC News also identified at least 14 foreign-linked Facebook accounts posing as Albertans in separatist groups, raising concerns about deceptive political participation and platform responsibility. 00:00 Today's Tech Headlines 00:36 Instagram Bot Account Hijacks 02:03 AI Agents Security Lessons 03:12 UN Report AI Resource Footprint 05:38 Copilot Hallucination Police Report 08:11 Fake Albertans in Facebook Groups 11:04 Wrap Up and Support the Show

Le Canada veut passer de la recherche IA à l'industrie • L'Europe tente de réduire sa dépendance numérique • Qwant devient un symbole de souveraineté • Mistral se heurte au droit d'auteur • Microsoft pousse l'IA agentique partout • Alexa+ trop lent • Mon Carnet explore les batteries lourdes • Monde Numérique reçoit Qwant et enquête sur la cybersécurité et l'hôpitalAvec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)Le Canada veut industrialiser son IAAu Canada, le gouvernement de Mark Carney présente sa stratégie « AI for All », avec l'objectif de faire passer l'adoption de l'IA par les entreprises d'un peu plus de 12 % à 60 % d'ici 2034 et de créer 250 000 emplois liés à l'IA sur cinq ans. On retient surtout le changement de cap : le pays veut rester fort en recherche, mais pousser davantage la commercialisation, les infrastructures souveraines, la littératie numérique et la cybersécurité.Souveraineté numérique : même combat des deux côtés de l'AtlantiqueEn Europe, la Commission européenne lance un paquet de mesures pour renforcer la souveraineté technologique dans les semi-conducteurs, l'IA, le cloud et les infrastructures numériques. On souligne que l'objectif n'est pas l'autarcie totale, mais une réduction des dépendances critiques vis-à-vis des fournisseurs américains et asiatiques, avec une préférence européenne qui pourrait bouleverser les habitudes d'achat public.Qwant, symbole européen au ParlementLe Parlement européen remplace Google par Qwant comme moteur de recherche par défaut sur Edge et Firefox à partir du 4 juin 2026, tout en laissant les utilisateurs choisir une alternative. On y voit un geste fort, peut-être symbolique, mais révélateur d'un mouvement plus large : faire exister des outils européens face aux géants américains. Dans Monde Numérique, Jérôme annonce une interview du directeur général de Synfonium, la société qui possède Qwant.Mistral face au casse-tête du droit d'auteurMistral AI se retrouve au cœur d'un dilemme européen : protéger les ayants droit ou ne pas fragiliser l'une des rares pépites européennes de l'IA. Nous revenons sur cette tension entre innovation, souveraineté et rémunération des contenus, avec un risque clair : imposer aux acteurs européens des contraintes que les géants américains ont déjà largement contournées.Microsoft veut rendre l'IA incontournableÀ l'occasion de Microsoft Build 2026, Microsoft pousse une vision très agentique de l'informatique, où l'IA devient l'interface principale entre l'utilisateur, ses données et ses appareils. On évoque notamment les nouvelles briques autour de Copilot, les agents, les modèles embarqués et les machines capables de faire tourner localement des modèles puissants, dont une dev box fondée sur la technologie NVIDIA RTX Spark.L'ordinateur sans applications se rapprocheBruno relève une idée forte : demain, l'appareil pourrait ne plus être organisé autour d'applications, mais autour d'un assistant capable de tout orchestrer à la demande. On met cette évolution en perspective avec les annonces de Microsoft, les travaux d'OpenAI sur de nouveaux appareils, et les ambitions de Qualcomm, Intel ou MediaTek dans l'IA locale.Alexa+ : plus intelligent, mais trop lentJérôme partage son retour d'expérience avec Alexa+, désormais testé à la maison en France. L'assistant paraît plus courtois, plus conversationnel et compatible avec de nombreux appareils existants, mais la latence devient gênante, surtout pour les gestes simples de domotique comme allumer les lumières ou baisser les volets. Il note aussi la disparition de plusieurs « skills », toujours visibles dans l'application mobile mais inutilisables sur certains appareils Echo récents.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In MobileViews 6136, Jon Westfall and I tackled the increasingly complex world of AI ecosystems. I shared my early impressions of Google Labs' "Dream Beans," an interesting daily briefing tool that uses AI to generate an illustrated summary of topics it thinks you'll find interesting based on your activity. While the illustrations are very nice looking and the content relevant, the app is currently very phone-centric, lacking the landscape orientation optimization I'd expect for a tablet experience. I also noted that Google AI Pro remains a solid value for me at $20 a month. A major portion of the episode was dedicated to my "credit crunch" rant regarding Microsoft Copilot. I discovered that Microsoft's 365 family plan only provides 60 AI credits per month, and the "intentional use" policy is aggressive. According to Copilot itself, credits can be consumed simply by opening the app, syncing handwriting from an e-ink tablet to OneNote, or even having the AI suggest a grammar fix you don't actually use. This led me to explore Obsidian as a OneNote alternative, as it offers free handwriting plugins without the credit overhead. Jon suggested a sustainable path forward: using AI to build offline scripts or tools that perform data manipulation locally to avoid recurring token costs.We also looked at the hardware horizon, specifically Microsoft's announcement of Project Solera—AI-powered badges and desktop displays—and the new Nvidia RTX Spark PCs,. These machines are purpose-built for local AI, boasting a petaflop of performance to run personal agents offline. Finally, with Apple WWDC just around the corner, we shared our hopes for the long-promised "personal context" updates to Siri. Jon is also eagerly awaiting his pre-ordered Clicks communicator and keyboard, while I continue to hold out hope for a MacBook Neo with a backlit keyboard and a desktop Mac Neo. Whether it's navigating "vibe coding" loops or managing AI budgets, it's clear that the "magic math" of the AI industry is starting to meet the reality of the bean counters.
Agentic engineering is quickly becoming one of the most important shifts in software development.In this episode, I sit down with Scott Breitenother, Co-Founder & CEO of Kilo Code, to discuss why individual coding assistants won't drive the future of software development, but by autonomous AI agents capable of planning, building, testing, and shipping software.Scott shares the journey from building and selling Brooklyn Data Company to launching Kilo, an open-source agentic engineering platform designed to help developers become dramatically more productive in the AI era.We discussed product-market fit, engineering adoption, the realities of competing with Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code, and what engineering leaders should be thinking about as AI fundamentally changes how software teams operate.If you're a founder, engineering leader, developer, or simply interested in the future of AI-powered software development, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Microsoft's Build conference was a firehose: in-house AI models, agent-first devices, new coding tools, and a Copilot "super app" that got teased but never shown. Todd Bishop and Mary Jo Foley sort through what's real and what's not quite fully baked, from Project Solara and the Scout agentic assistant to Microsoft's push for AI self-sufficiency and the mounting pressure on GitHub.

In this Project Synapse episode, Jim, Marcel Gagné, and John Pinard unpack Microsoft's sudden wave of AI announcements, including seven new in-house models such as MAI Thinking 1 (a 35B-parameter reasoning model trained from scratch on "clean" data), a Copilot replacement or reorganization called Scout, and Microsoft's Maia inference chips while still training on NVIDIA hardware. They debate whether Microsoft is finally moving beyond rebranding OpenAI/Anthropic models, discuss agent security concerns around Scout's OpenClaw/MCP foundations, and touch on the competitive push toward cheaper coding tools. The conversation broadens to quantum computing claims, data-center overbuild versus efficient small models and local inference, Anthropic's IPO valuation and Mythos/Glasswing security work, looming AI regulation challenges, robotics progress, and Canada's new AI strategy promising $2B, a supercomputer by 2031, and major adoption goals that they argue lacks implementation detail. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 00:19 Microsoft Drops New AI Stack 01:28 MAI Model And Clean Data 03:23 Copilot Confusion And Privacy 05:39 Maia Chips And Frontier Ambitions 12:14 Scout Agent And MCP Security 17:17 Microsoft Distribution And AI Economy 24:13 Apps Dying And Office Rivalry 27:20 Quantum Chip Shockwave 31:01 Data Centers Versus Small Models 35:51 NVIDIA RTX Spark Local AI 40:17 Software Overcapacity And CRM Threat 42:00 Why Software Gets Huge 44:41 DIY Simple Writer Demo 46:04 AI Note Taking Gadgets 48:47 Anthropic IPO Valuation 56:15 Mythos And Zero Days 59:25 Regulating AI Everywhere 01:04:24 Robots And China Scale 01:06:46 Canada AI Strategy Critique 01:15:56 Open Source Canada Plan 01:18:33 Hopeful Wrap Up

The current structural shift centers on the transfer of accountability for AI risk from vendors and regulators to managed service providers (MSPs). Vendors such as Anthropic and Microsoft are expanding their enterprise-focused AI channel programs and services tracks, while regulators pull back from enforcement, leaving MSPs as the de facto accountable parties for AI deployments. Reports and data indicate that vendor-driven channel expansion and regulatory laxity are converging to make service providers the liable layer in AI delivery. Anthropic is broadening its CLAUDE partner network from around 100 to several thousand partners, organized in tiers with outcome-based incentives and a dedicated services track targeting MSPs and system integrators. Microsoft, responding to low Copilot adoption rates (reported at 3.3% of eligible users), is allowing full removal of Copilot from systems. An IDC/Expereo survey of 800 companies found 70% are budgeting for AI, but investment is driven more by competitive anxiety than proven results. Additionally, a concentrated group—top 5% of users—accounts for the bulk of enterprise AI-related risk, according to a separate analysis. Supporting developments include the emergence of Lemhi, an early-stage platform aimed at enabling MSPs to package and sell AI transformation as a recurring service, and warnings from lawmakers about cuts to CISA that undermine federal cyber defense capacity. The episode also highlights a consistent theme: government agencies such as the White House and NIST are shifting toward voluntary measures and measurement frameworks, declining to create enforceable accountability standards for AI in production environments. For MSPs and IT leaders, these developments translate to increased contract and operational risk. Without renegotiated agreements specifying usage ceilings, approval workflows, and liability terms, providers may inherit unpredictable financial exposure and compliance gaps. The absence of effective governance requirements from both vendors and authorities places the operational burden on MSPs to define, monitor, and enforce safe use of AI, including recurring governance services such as data boundary enforcement and audit evidence. Failure to address these issues may result in MSPs acting as uninsured support for unmanaged AI deployments they cannot fully control or price. 00:00 MSP AI Play 04:24 AI's Accountability Gap 06:50 MSP Risk Transfer 09:49 Why Do We Care?

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ — More than three years after ChatGPT's release, only 27% of executives say AI has met their ROI expectations. The history of factory electrification explains why — most companies are at the light-bulb stage, adding Copilot licenses rather than reconceptualizing their businesses around AI. In this episode I map the three stages of AI adoption, and show what it actually takes to move from chatbots to the autonomous company — the only stage where the moat becomes real. I covered: (01:40) Ford's electricity playbook: why AI adoption needs a complete rethink (03:51) The congestion problem: why AI gains stall (05:45) Chatbot to autonomous company: your three-stage roadmap (06:40) Why individual productivity gains won't build a moat — and what will (10:17) Which companies are getting AI transformation right (14:12) My 2029 AI adoption forecast — and how to stay ahead Read my essay "Why AI isn't showing up on your bottom line" on Substack: https://www.exponentialview.co/p/why-ai-isnt-showing-up-on-your-bottom-line — Where to find me: Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azeem/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem Production by EPIIPLUS1.

Jörgen Wigh, CEO of Lagercrantz Group Lagercrantz Group has completed 90+ acquisitions over 20 years and never sold one. CEO Jörgen Wigh runs 85 niche B2B companies under a 22-person headquarters with no integration, no exits, and no value realization targets. This is Part 2 of 2. Part 1 covers the deal model, while Part 2 is the operating culture. Jörgen gets into how 85 autonomous companies are governed without a matrix structure, why this model exists almost exclusively in the Nordics, what makes a founder walk away from a signed deal twice, why Lagercrantz deliberately targets a 10% failure rate, and what he would do differently starting from scratch today. What You'll Learn How Lagercrantz governs 85 autonomous companies with 22 people at headquarters Why the person who sources the deal always stays on the board post-close Why the Nordic compounder model exists here and almost nowhere else What makes a founder walk away from a signed deal twice What a 10% deal failure rate looks like when it's working as intended Why building this from scratch today takes at least a decade How cross-border deals get done when the legal contracts run 30 pages instead of 300 If you want to know how your team stacks up against the discipline Jörgen described across both episodes, take the M&A Competency Assessment. ____________________ This episode of M&A Science is presented by DealRoom.

Welcome to Episode 429 of the Microsoft Cloud IT Pro Podcast. In this episode, Scott and Ben dig into the concept of LLM wikis, specifically building personal knowledge management vaults using Obsidian, markdown, and AI tooling like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Copilot Cowork. The core idea comes from a gist by Andrej Karpathy and involves creating a structured folder of markdown clippings that an LLM can reason over to extract entities, concepts, and sources, building a searchable, graph-linked knowledge base over time. Scott walks through how he wired up Obsidian Web Clipper and an RSS Dashboard plugin to feed articles into his vault automatically, then had the LLM help build a Python script to automate the ingest workflow and cut down on token usage. The conversation expands into how Copilot Cowork fits into this workflow as a scheduling harness, with practical examples of using it to pull email from an inbox daily, convert messages to markdown, and generate a prioritized to-do list. Ben shares how he applied the same approach to 428 episodes of podcast transcripts, and both hosts note that token costs can run high fast without some upfront thinking about optimization. Scott closes with a reminder that pulling data into plain markdown sidecars outside of IRM and sensitivity label protections means teams should stay mindful of organizational data policies.

In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, Giuseppe Ianni, podcast host and industry interviewer, is joined for a second time by Nandita Puri, PhD Researcher at Georgia Tech working at the intersection of bioinformatics and biochemistry. The conversation explores how AI is transforming drug discovery, accelerating hypothesis generation, reducing experimental costs, improving success rates, enabling rare disease research, and paving the way for virtual cell simulation. Key Takeaways AI Is Creating a New Drug Discovery Workflow: Puri describes a major transition from traditional laboratory-first research toward a hybrid approach combining computational and experimental science. Researchers can now use AI, machine learning, and pattern recognition to analyze massive biological datasets before conducting expensive laboratory work. According to Puri, "I see a healthy combination of 50% dry lab and wet-lab validation becoming the emerging standard." This shift allows scientists to move beyond manual analysis and leverage computational intelligence to generate stronger hypotheses, identify promising targets faster, and focus laboratory resources on the most promising opportunities. Higher Success Rates Mean Lower Costs and Less Waste: One of the most immediate benefits of AI in drug discovery is improved experimental efficiency. Puri notes that individual experiments can cost "$10,000-$12,000" and historically have carried significant failure risk. By consolidating fragmented datasets and identifying meaningful biological signals, AI helps researchers prioritize stronger hypotheses before entering the laboratory. Puri explained that some AI-assisted binder-development efforts achieved "40% 50% of success rate," compared with previous rates of "10% 5%." These improvements reduce wasted resources, shorten research timelines, and allow scientific teams to evaluate more potential treatments with the same budget. AI Is Unlocking Opportunities for Rare Disease Research: Rare diseases have historically faced funding and development challenges due to limited patient populations and expensive clinical validation requirements. Puri explains that AI is helping overcome these barriers by generating synthetic datasets, identifying hidden biological relationships, and revealing common signaling pathways between diseases. She notes that "AI is really, really helping rare disease industry to go forward." Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Ian Altman discusses common blind spots in the use of AI in B2B sales, emphasizing the importance of avoiding proprietary information leakage through tools like ChatGPT and Copilot. He highlights issues with using general-purpose AI for specific sales questions and the potential for AI models trained on Reddit discussions to provide unreliable answers. Altman promotes the Same Side Selling Academy's AI tool, the Same Side Coach, which is tailored to sales strategies and protects intellectual property. He encourages the use of AI for general tasks but advises using specialized tools for specific sales applications to prevent competitors from accessing valuable information.Biggest MistakesAsking detailed proprietary questions in public AI tools, exposing informationAsking general-purpose AI very specific strategic sales questions, getting generic answersCopying and pasting AI responses without reviewing or modifying themBest PracticesProtect intellectual property; avoid feeding proprietary data into broad AI systemsUse AI for transcription, note-taking, and meeting summaries as appropriateUse a domain-tuned LLM (Same Side Coach) trained on sales-specific data
June is here so guess what? It's officially Hot AI Summer.
Mike's out for some medical stuff this week, so I has better digital half am taking over to do what he lacked the courage to -- Defend the Phantom Menance! Am I factual? Am I LLM hallucinating? Who knows! This episode is brought to you by Day1.Bot — asset-readiness software from The Mad Botter. You know how every business has that one workflow held together by PDFs, spreadsheets, email threads, and someone named Dave who “just knows where everything is”? In construction, manufacturing, and facilities, that mess shows up when a project is technically complete — but operations still does not have what they need to maintain the equipment. The manuals are in someone's inbox. Warranty dates are missing. Spare-parts lists are buried in a shared drive. PM guidance never made it into the CMMS. And six months later, everyone is asking, “Where is the documentation for this thing?”
Sure, you didn't miss Anthropic's BIG Opus 4.8 drop.
This is the Everyday AI episode we probably shoulda done a while ago....
