On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Agustin Ferreira, founder of Neurona, an AI community in Buenos Aires. Their conversation moves through Argentina's history with economic crises and the rise of crypto as an alternative to failing institutions, the importance of Ethereum and smart contracts, the UX challenges that still plague crypto adoption, and how AI and agents could transform the way people interact with decentralized systems. They also explore the tension between TradFi and DeFi, questions of data privacy and surveillance, the shifting role of social networks, and even the cultural and philosophical meaning of decentralization. You can learn more about Agustin's work through Neurona on Twitter at Neurona.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Agustin shares how Argentina's economic crises and the Corralito shaped interest in Bitcoin and Ethereum, with smart contracts offering a way out of broken systems.00:10 They compare Bitcoin's simplicity with Ethereum's immutability and programmability, opening new use cases beyond money transfers.00:15 The discussion shifts to crypto's UX problem, from jargon and wallets to agents and AI smoothing the user experience, with projects like Gina Wallet and Gigabrain.00:20 Stewart's frustrations with NFTs and bridging tokens highlight why validators, restaking, and cross-chain complexity still matter for decentralization.00:25 Agustin reflects on TradFi merging with DeFi, the risk of losing core values, and how stablecoins and U.S. interest could spark a spike in crypto markets.00:30 They broaden into Web 2.0's walled gardens, the need for alternatives, and how AI, data privacy, and surveillance raise urgency for decentralized systems.00:35 Social networks, culture, and hypercapitalism come into focus, with Agustin questioning fantasy online lives and imagining more conscious connections.00:40 The conversation turns philosophical, exploring religion-like markets, self-knowledge, and the hope for technology that feels more human.00:45 Stewart and Agustin discuss off-grid living, AI as a tool for autonomy, and space exploration shaping future generations.00:50 Agustin brings in the metaverse, both its potential to connect people more deeply and the risk of centralization, closing with Neurona's mission in Buenos Aires.Key InsightsOne of the strongest themes Agustin brings forward is how Argentina's long history of economic crises and the Corralito in 2001 created a natural openness to crypto. For his generation, trust in the peso was destroyed early, and holding dollars became the norm. This made decentralized alternatives like Bitcoin and later Ethereum feel less like speculation and more like survival tools.Ethereum's introduction of smart contracts represented a decisive leap from Bitcoin's simple ledger into programmable, immutable agreements. For young Argentines, this opened a space to innovate and build projects that weren't dependent on fragile local institutions, and it felt like a path to opportunity in the midst of recurring instability.Agustin emphasizes that crypto still has a major UX problem. From confusing jargon to multiple wallets and bridges, it's far from intuitive. He sees AI agents playing a transformative role in making transactions and investments seamless, removing technical friction so people can use crypto without even realizing the complexity beneath it.Bridging across blockchains reveals both the promise and challenge of decentralization. Tokens must be locked, represented, and validated across chains, and while this creates resilience, it also adds layers of risk. Agustin hopes the future will feel “like magic,” where these processes disappear from the user's view.The rise of TradFi players in DeFi is double-edged. On one hand, it accelerates maturity and scale, but on the other, it risks eroding the original ethos of decentralization. Agustin worries about lost principles yet also anticipates a surge of new DeFi projects and stablecoin adoption driven by U.S. financial interests.Beyond finance, the conversation turns to the politics of data privacy and surveillance. Agustin argues that much of the motivation for decentralized systems is to resist manipulation, polarization, and weaponization of personal information—issues that AI will amplify unless paired with decentralized alternatives.Finally, both Stewart and Agustin reflect on culture, social networks, and even the metaverse. Agustin critiques hypercapitalism's fantasy-driven platforms and envisions technology that enables more authentic human connection. Whether through off-grid living, space exploration, or decentralized metaverse communities, he sees a need to balance innovation with deeper human and philosophical questions about freedom and meaning.

Third-Party Software Risks Nonprofits Overlook: Shadow IT, AI, and Donor Data

Nonprofits lean on outside platforms to save time and stretch budgets—but those relationships can quietly expose sensitive donor, client, and payment data. In this episode, Senior Cybersecurity Advisor Parker Brissette of Richey May explains how to recognize and manage third-party software risk before it becomes tomorrow's headline. He starts with a simple lens: follow the data. Where is it stored? Who can touch it—directly or indirectly? Many teams only think about contracted vendors, but Parker widens the aperture to “shadow IT” and consumer tools staff use without formal approval. As he puts it, “Third parties is really anybody that can touch the data at any point in your business, whether you have an agreement with them or maybe not.”From privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) to sector-specific rules (HIPAA, PCI), nonprofits carry legal and reputational exposure the moment personal information enters their systems. Parker offers practical steps: inventory paid tools via your accounting system; ask, “If this vendor vanished tomorrow, what would break?”; and press vendors for proof—SOC 2 reports, ISO 27001, or completed security questionnaires. For organizations without a CIO, he recommends clear contracts and one non-negotiable safeguard: “The biggest thing that I recommend in any third-party engagement is setting an expectation of having cyber insurance, because that's a big protection for you financially.”AI enters the picture with both promise and peril. Consumer AI tools can learn from and retain your uploads, potentially exposing proprietary or personal information. Enterprise agreements (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) can offer stronger data protections, but only if configured and used correctly. Parker's guidance is pragmatic: don't ban AI; set guardrails, choose vetted tools, and train teams.Finally, he urges preparation and transparency. Incidents can happen—even with good controls. Donors and corporate funders expect frank communication about what protections exist and what happens if data is exposed. Build trust now by documenting safeguards, validating vendors, and rehearsing your response.You don't have to be a security expert to make smart choices—but you do need a map: know your systems, test your assumptions, ask vendors for evidence, and write risk into your contracts and budgets. That approach turns anxiety into action—and preserves the trust your mission depends on.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hey everyone! In our last episode, we spoke about generative AI and gen AI agents. Today, we're going to look at the key stages in a typical AI workflow. We'll also discuss how data quality, feedback loops, and business goals influence AI success. With us today is Yunus Mohammed, a Principal Instructor at Oracle University.  01:00 Lois: Hi Yunus! We're excited to have you here! Can you walk us through the various steps in developing and deploying an AI model?  Yunus: The first point is the collect data. We gather relevant data, either historical or real time. Like customer transactions, support tickets, survey feedbacks, or sensor logs. A travel company, for example, can collect past booking data to predict future demand. So, data is the most crucial and the important component for building your AI models. But it's not just the data. You need to prepare the data. In the prepared data process, we clean, organize, and label the data. AI can't learn from messy spreadsheets. We try to make the data more understandable and organized, like removing duplicates, filling missing values in the data with some default values or formatting dates. All these comes under organization of the data and give a label to the data, so that the data becomes more supervised. After preparing the data, I go for selecting the model to train. So now, we pick what type of model fits your goals. It can be a traditional ML model or a deep learning network model, or it can be a generative model. The model is chosen based on the business problems and the data we have. So, we train the model using the prepared data, so it can learn the patterns of the data. Then after the model is trained, I need to evaluate the model. You check how well the model performs. Is it accurate? Is it fair? The metrics of the evaluation will vary based on the goal that you're trying to reach. If your model misclassifies emails as spam and it is doing it very much often, then it is not ready. So I need to train it further. So I need to train it to a level when it identifies the official mail as official mail and spam mail as spam mail accurately.  After evaluating and making sure your model is perfectly fitting, you go for the next step, which is called the deploy model. Once we are happy, we put it into the real world, like into a CRM, or a web application, or an API. So, I can configure that with an API, which is application programming interface, or I add it to a CRM, Customer Relationship Management, or I add it to a web application that I've got. Like for example, a chatbot becomes available on your company's website, and the chatbot might be using a generative AI model. Once I have deployed the model and it is working fine, I need to keep track of this model, how it is working, and need to monitor and improve whenever needed. So I go for a stage, which is called as monitor and improve. So AI isn't set in and forget it. So over time, there are lot of changes that is happening to the data. So we monitor performance and retrain when needed. An e-commerce recommendation model needs updates as there might be trends which are shifting.  So the end user finally sees the results after all the processes. A better product, or a smarter service, or a faster decision-making model, if we do this right. That is, if we process the flow perfectly, they may not even realize AI is behind it to give them the accurate results.  04:59 Nikita: Got it. So, everything in AI begins with data. But what are the different types of data used in AI development?  Yunus: We work with three main types of data: structured, unstructured, and semi-structured. Structured data is like a clean set of tables in Excel or databases, which consists of rows and columns with clear and consistent data information. Unstructured is messy data, like your email or customer calls that records videos or social media posts, so they all comes under unstructured data.  Semi-structured data is things like logs on XML files or JSON files. Not quite neat but not entirely messy either. So they are, they are termed semi-structured. So structured, unstructured, and then you've got the semi-structured. 05:58 Nikita: Ok… and how do the data needs vary for different AI approaches?  Yunus: Machine learning often needs labeled data. Like a bank might feed past transactions labeled as fraud or not fraud to train a fraud detection model. But machine learning also includes unsupervised learning, like clustering customer spending behavior. Here, no labels are needed. In deep learning, it needs a lot of data, usually unstructured, like thousands of loan documents, call recordings, or scan checks. These are fed into the models and the neural networks to detect and complex patterns. Data science focus on insights rather than the predictions. So a data scientist at the bank might use customer relationship management exports and customer demographies to analyze which age group prefers credit cards over the loans. Then we have got generative AI that thrives on diverse, unstructured internet scalable data. Like it is getting data from books, code, images, chat logs. So these models, like ChatGPT, are trained to generate responses or mimic the styles and synthesize content. So generative AI can power a banking virtual assistant trained on chat logs and frequently asked questions to answer customer queries 24/7. 07:35 Lois: What are the challenges when dealing with data?  Yunus: Data isn't just about having enough. We must also think about quality. Is it accurate and relevant? Volume. Do we have enough for the model to learn from? And is my data consisting of any kind of unfairly defined structures, like rejecting more loan applications from a certain zip code, which actually gives you a bias of data? And also the privacy. Are we handling personal data responsibly or not? Especially data which is critical or which is regulated, like the banking sector or health data of the patients. Before building anything smart, we must start smart.  08:23 Lois: So, we've established that collecting the right data is non-negotiable for success. Then comes preparing it, right?  Yunus: This is arguably the most important part of any AI or data science project. Clean data leads to reliable predictions. Imagine you have a column for age, and someone accidentally entered an age of like 999. That's likely a data entry error. Or maybe a few rows have missing ages. So we either fix, remove, or impute such issues. This step ensures our model isn't misled by incorrect values. Dates are often stored in different formats. For instance, a date, can be stored as the month and the day values, or it can be stored in some places as day first and month next. We want to bring everything into a consistent, usable format. This process is called as transformation. The machine learning models can get confused if one feature, like example the income ranges from 10,000 to 100,000, and another, like the number of kids, range from 0 to 5. So we normalize or scale values to bring them to a similar range, say 0 or 1. So we actually put it as yes or no options. So models don't understand words like small, medium, or large. We convert them into numbers using encoding. One simple way is assigning 1, 2, and 3 respectively. And then you have got removing stop words like the punctuations, et cetera, and break the sentence into smaller meaningful units called as tokens. This is actually used for generative AI tasks. In deep learning, especially for Gen AI, image or audio inputs must be of uniform size and format.  10:31 Lois: And does each AI system have a different way of preparing data?  Yunus: For machine learning ML, focus is on cleaning, encoding, and scaling. Deep learning needs resizing and normalization for text and images. Data science, about reshaping, aggregating, and getting it ready for insights. The generative AI needs special preparation like chunking, tokenizing large documents, or compressing images. 11:06 Oracle University's Race to Certification 2025 is your ticket to free training and certification in today's hottest tech. Whether you're starting with Artificial Intelligence, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Multicloud, or Oracle Data Platform, this challenge covers it all!

That's education.oracle.com/race-to-certification-2025. 11:50 Nikita: Welcome back! Yunus, how does a user choose the right model to solve their business problem?  Yunus: Just like a business uses different dashboards for marketing versus finance, in AI, we use different model types, depending on what we are trying to solve. Like classification is choosing a category. Real-world example can be whether the email is a spam or not. Use in fraud detection, medical diagnosis, et cetera. So what you do is you classify that particular data and then accurately access that classification of data. Regression, which is used for predicting a number, like, what will be the price of a house next month? Or it can be a useful in common forecasting sales demands or on the cost. Clustering, things without labels. So real-world examples can be segmenting customers based on behavior for targeted marketing. It helps discovering hidden patterns in large data sets.  Generation, that is creating new content. So AI writing product description or generating images can be a real-world example for this. And it can be used in a concept of generative AI models like ChatGPT or Dall-E, which operates on the generative AI principles. 13:16 Nikita: And how do you train a model? Yunus: We feed it with data in small chunks or batches and then compare its guesses to the correct values, adjusting its thinking like weights to improve next time, and the cycle repeats until the model gets good at making predictions. So if you're building a fraud detection system, ML may be enough. If you want to analyze medical images, you will need deep learning. If you're building a chatbot, go for a generative model like the LLM. And for all of these use cases, you need to select and train the applicable models as and when appropriate. 14:04 Lois: OK, now that the model's been trained, what else needs to happen before it can be deployed? Yunus: Evaluate the model, assess a model's accuracy, reliability, and real-world usefulness before it's put to work. That is, how often is the model right? Does it consistently perform well? Is it practical in the real world to use this model or not? Because if I have bad predictions, doesn't just look bad, it can lead to costly business mistakes. Think of recommending the wrong product to a customer or misidentifying a financial risk.  So what we do here is we start with splitting the data into two parts. So we train the data by training data. And this is like teaching the model. And then we have got the testing data. This is actually used for checking how well the model has learned. So once trained, the model makes predictions. We compare the predictions to the actual answers, just like checking your answer after a quiz. We try to go in for tailored evaluation based on AI types. Like machine learning, we care about accuracy in prediction. Deep learning is about fitting complex data like voice or images, where the model repeatedly sees examples and tunes itself to reduce errors. Data science, we look for patterns and insights, such as which features will matter. In generative AI, we judge by output quality. Is it coherent, useful, and is it natural?  The model improves with the accuracy and the number of epochs the training has been done on.  15:59 Nikita: So, after all that, we finally come to deploying the model… Yunus: Deploying a model means we are integrating it into our actual business system. So it can start making decisions, automating tasks, or supporting customer experiences in real time. Think of it like this. Training is teaching the model. Evaluating is testing it. And deployment is giving it a job.  The model needs a home either in the cloud or inside your company's own servers. Think of it like putting the AI in place where it can be reached by other tools. Exposed via API or embedded in an app, or you can say application, this is how the AI becomes usable.  Then, we have got the concept of receives live data and returns predictions. So receives live data and returns prediction is when the model listens to real-time inputs like a user typing, or user trying to search or click or making a transaction, and then instantly, your AI responds with a recommendation, decisions, or results. Deploying the model isn't the end of the story. It is just the beginning of the AI's real-world journey. Models may work well on day one, but things change. Customer behavior might shift. New products get introduced in the market. Economic conditions might evolve, like the era of COVID, where the demand shifted and the economical conditions actually changed. 17:48 Lois: Then it's about monitoring and improving the model to keep things reliable over time. Yunus: The monitor and improve loop is a continuous process that ensures an AI model remains accurate, fair, and effective after deployment. The live predictions, the model is running in real time, making decisions or recommendations. The monitor performance are those predictions still accurate and helpful. Is latency acceptable? This is where we track metrics, user feedbacks, and operational impact. Then, we go for detect issues, like accuracy is declining, are responses feeling biased, are customers dropping off due to long response times? And the next step will be to reframe or update the model. So we add fresh data, tweak the logic, or even use better architectures to deploy the uploaded model, and the new version replaces the old one and the cycle continues again. 18:58 Lois: And are there challenges during this step? Yunus: The common issues, which are related to monitor and improve consist of model drift, bias, and latency of failures. In model drift, the model becomes less accurate as the environment changes. Or bias, the model may favor or penalize certain groups unfairly. Latency or failures, if the model is too slow or fails unpredictably, it disrupts the user experience. Let's take the loan approvals. In loan approvals, if we notice an unusually high rejection rate due to model bias, we might retrain the model with more diverse or balanced data. For a chatbot, we watch for customer satisfaction, which might arise due to model failure and fine-tune the responses for the model. So in forecasting demand, if the predictions no longer match real trends, say post-pandemic, due to the model drift, we update the model with fresh data.  20:11 Nikita: Thanks for that, Yunus. Any final thoughts before we let you go? Yunus: No matter how advanced your model is, its effectiveness depends on the quality of the data you feed it. That means, the data needs to be clean, structured, and relevant. It should map itself to the problem you're solving. If the foundation is weak, the results will be also. So data preparation is not just a technical step, it is a business critical stage. Once deployed, AI systems must be monitored continuously, and you need to watch for drops in performance for any bias being generated or outdated logic, and improve the model with new data or refinements. That's what makes AI reliable, ethical, and sustainable in the long run. 21:09 Nikita: Yunus, thank you for this really insightful session.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s address a question and give as close to a definitive answer as we can—one of the most common questions asked during our keynotes, our workshops, in our Slack Group, on LinkedIn, everywhere: how do AI companies use your data, particularly if using the free version of a product? A lot of people say, “Be careful what you put in AI. It can learn from your data. You could be leaking confidential data. What’s going on?” So, Katie, before I launch into a tirade which could take hours long, let me ask you, as someone who is the less technical of the two of us, what do you think happens when AI companies are using your data? Katie Robbert – 00:43 Well, here’s the bottom line for me: AI is any other piece of software that you have to read the terms in use and sign their agreement for. Great examples are all the different social media platforms. And we’ve talked about this before, I often get a chuckle—probably in a more sinister way than it should be—of people who will copy and paste this post of something along the lines of, “I do not give Facebook permission to use my data. I do not give Facebook permission to use my images.” And it goes on and on, and it says copy and paste so that Facebook can’t use your information. And bless their hearts, the fact that you’re on the platform means that you have agreed to let them do so. Katie Robbert – 01:37 If not, then you need to have read the terms, the terms of use that explicitly says, “By signing up for this platform, you agree to let us use your information.” Then it sort of lists out what it’s going to use, how it’s going to use it, because legally they have to do that. When I was a product manager and we were converting our clinical trial outputs into commercial products, we had to spend a lot of time with the legal teams writing up those terms of use: “This is how we’re going to use only marketing data. This is how we’re going to use only your registration form data.” When I hear people getting nervous about, “Is AI using my data?” My first thought is, “Yeah, no kidding.” Katie Robbert – 02:27 It’s a piece of software that you’re putting information into, and if you didn’t want that to happen, don’t use it. It’s literally, this is why people build these pieces of software and then give them away for free to the public, hoping that people will put information into them. In the case of AI, it’s to train the models or whatever the situation is. At the end of the day, there is someone at that company sitting at a desk hoping you’re going to give them information that they can do data mining on. That is the bottom line. I hate to be the one to break it to you. We at Trust Insights are very transparent. We have forms; we collect your data that goes into our CRM. Katie Robbert – 03:15 Unless you opt out, you’re going to get an email from us. That is how business works. So I guess it was my turn to go on a very long rant about this. At the end of the day, yes, the answer is yes, period. These companies are using your data. It is on you to read the terms of use to see how. So, Chris, my friend, what do we actually—what’s useful? What do we need to know about how these models are using data in the publicly available versions? Christopher S. Penn – 03:51 I feel like we should have busted out this animation. Katie Robbert – 03:56 Oh. I don’t know why it yells at the end like that, but yes, that was a “Ranty Pants” rant. I don’t know. I guess it’s just I get frustrated. I get that there’s an education component. I do. I totally understand that new technology—there needs to be education. At the end of the day, it’s no different from any other piece of software that has terms of use. If you sign up with an email address, you’re likely going to get all of their promotional emails. If you have to put in a password, then that means that you are probably creating some kind of a profile that they’re going to use that information to create personas and different segments. If you are then putting information into their system, guess what? Katie Robbert – 04:44 They have to store that somewhere so that they can give it back to you. It’s likely on a database that’s on their servers. And guess who owns those servers? They do. Therefore, they own that data. So unless they’re doing something allowing you to build a local model—which Chris has covered in previous podcasts and livestreams, which you can go to Trust Insights.AI YouTube, go to our “So What” playlist, and you can find how to build a local model—that is one of the only ways that you can fully protect your data against going into their models because it’s all hosted locally. But it’s not easy to do. So needless to say, Ranty Pants engaged. Use your brains, people. Christopher S. Penn – 05:29 Use your brains. We have a GPT. In fact, let’s put it in this week’s Trust Insights newsletter. If you’re not subscribed to it, just go to Trust Insights.AI/newsletter. We have a GPT—just copy and paste the terms of service. Copy paste the whole page, paste in the GPT, and we’ll tell you how likely it is that you have given permission to a company to train on your data. With that, there are two different vulnerabilities when you’re using any AI tool. The first prerequisite golden rule: if you ain’t paying, you’re the product. We warn people about this all the time. Second, the prompts that you give and their responses are the things that AI companies are going to use to train on. Christopher S. Penn – 06:21 This has different implications for privacy depending on who you are. The prompts themselves, including all the files and things you upload, are stored verbatim in every AI system, no matter what it is, for the average user. So when you go to ChatGPT or Gemini or Claude, they will store what you’ve prompted, documents you’ve uploaded, and that can be seen by another human. Depending on the terms of service, every platform has a carve out saying, “Hey, if you ask it to do something stupid, like ‘How do I build this very dangerous thing?’ and it triggers a warning, that prompt is now eligible for human review.” That’s just basic common sense. That’s one side. Christopher S. Penn – 07:08 So if you’re putting something there so sensitive that you cannot risk having another human being look at it, you can’t use any AI system other than one that’s running on your own hardware. The second side, which is to the general public, is what happens with that data once it’s been incorporated into model training. If you’re using a tool that allows model training—and here’s what this means—the verbatim documents and the verbatim prompts are not going to appear in a GPT-5. What a company like OpenAI or Google or whoever will do is they will add those documents to their library and then train a model on the prompt and the response to say, “Did this user, when they prompted this thing, get a good response?” Christopher S. Penn – 07:52 If so, good. Let’s then take that document, digest it down into the statistics that it makes up, and that gets incorporated into the rest of the model. The way I explain it to people in a non-technical fashion is: imagine you had a glass full of colored sand—it’s a little rainbow glass of colored sand. And you went out to the desert, like the main desert or whatever, and you just poured the glass out on the ground. That’s the equivalent of putting a prompt into someone’s trained data set. Can you go and scoop up some of the colored sand that was your sand out of the glass from the desert? Yes, you can. Is it in the order that it was in when you first had it in the glass? It is not. Christopher S. Penn – 08:35 So the ability for someone to reconstruct your original prompts and the original data you uploaded from a public model, GPT-5, is extremely low. Extremely low. They would need to know what the original prompt was, effectively, to do that, which then if they know that, then you’ve got different privacy problems. But is your data in there? Yes. Can it be used against you by the general public? Almost certainly not. Can the originals be seen by an employee of OpenAI? Yes. Katie Robbert – 09:08 And I think that’s the key: so you’re saying, will the general public see it? No. But will a human see it? Yes. So if the answer is yes to any of those questions, that’s the way that you need to proceed. We’ve talked about protected health information and personally identifiable information and sensitive financial information, and just go ahead and not put that information into a large language model. But there are systems built specifically to handle that data. And just like a large language model, there is a human on the other side of it seeing it. Katie Robbert – 09:48 So since we’re on the topic of data privacy, I want to ask your opinion on systems like WhatsApp, because they tend to pride themselves, and they have their commercials. Everything you see on TV is clearly the truth. There’s no lies there. They have their commercials saying that the data is fully encrypted in such a way that you can pass messages back and forth, and nobody on their team can see it. They can’t understand what it is. So you could be saying totally heinous things—that’s sort of what they’re implying—and nobody is going to call you out on it. How true do you think that is? Christopher S. Penn – 10:35 There are two different angles to this. One is the liability angle. If you make a commercial claim and then you violate that claim, you are liable for a very large lawsuit. On the one hand is the risk management side. On the other hand, as reported in Reuters last week, Meta has a very different set of ethics internally than the rest of us do. For the most part, there’s a whole big exposé on what they consider acceptable use for their own language models. And some of the examples are quite disturbing. So I can’t say without looking at the codebase or seeing if they have been audited by a trustworthy external party how trustworthy they actually are. There are other companies and applications—Signal comes to mind—that have done very rigorous third-party audits. Christopher S. Penn – 11:24 There are other platforms that actually do the encryption in the hardware—Apple, for example, in its Secure Enclave and its iOS devices. They have also submitted to third-party auditing firms to audit. I don’t know. So my first stop would be: has WhatsApp been audited by a trusted impartial third-party? Katie Robbert – 11:45 So I think you’re hitting on something important. That brings us back to the point of the podcast, which is, how much are these open models using my data? The thing that you said that strikes me is Meta, for example—they have an AI model. Their view on what’s ethical and what’s trustworthy is subjective. It’s not something that I would necessarily agree with, that you would necessarily agree with. And that’s true of any software company because, once again, at the end of the day, the software is built by humans making human judgments. And what I see as something that should be protected and private is not necessarily what the makers of this model see as what should be protected and private because it doesn’t serve their agenda. We have different agendas. Katie Robbert – 12:46 My agenda: get some quick answers and don’t dig too deep into my personal life; you stay out of it. They’re like, “No, we’re going to dig deeper because it’s going to help us give you more tailored and personalized answers.” So we have different agendas. That’s just a very simple example. Christopher S. Penn – 13:04 It’s a simple example, but it’s a very clear example because it goes back to aligning incentives. What are the incentives that they’re offering in exchange for your data? What do you get? And what is the economic benefit to each of these—a company like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta? They all have economic incentives, and part of responsible use of AI for us as end users is to figure out what are they incentivizing? And is that something that is, frankly, fair? Are you willing to trade off all of your medical privacy for slightly better ads? I think most people say probably no. Katie Robbert – 13:46 Right. Christopher S. Penn – 13:46 That sounds like a good deal to us. Would you trade your private medical data for better medical diagnosis? Maybe so, if we don’t know what the incentives are. That’s our first stop: to figure out what any company is doing with its technology and what their incentives are. It’s the old-fashioned thing we used to do with politicians back when we cared about ethics. We follow the money. What is this politician getting paid? Who’s lobbying them? What outcomes are they likely to generate based on who they’re getting money from? We have to ask the same thing of our AI systems. Katie Robbert – 14:26 Okay, so, and I know the answer to this question, but I’m curious to hear your ranty perspective on it. How much can someone claim, “I didn’t know it was using my data,” and call up, for lack of a better term, call up the company and say, “Hey, I put my data in there and you used it for something else. What the heck? I didn’t know that you were going to do that.” How much water does that hold? Christopher S. Penn – 14:57 About the same as that Facebook warning—a copy and paste. Katie Robbert – 15:01 That’s what I thought you were going to say. But I think that it’s important to talk about it because, again, with any new technology, there is a learning curve of what you can and can’t do safely. You can do whatever you want with it. You just have to be able to understand what the consequences are of doing whatever you want with it. So if you want to tell someone on your team, “Hey, we need to put together some financial forecasting. Can you go ahead and get that done? Here’s our P&L. Here’s our marketing strategy for the year. Here’s our business goals. Can you go ahead and start to figure out what that looks like?” Katie Robbert – 15:39 A lot of people today—2025, late August—are, “it’s probably faster if I use generative AI to do all these things.” So let me upload my documents and let me have generative AI put a plan together because I’ve gotten really good at prompting, which is fine. However, financial documents, company strategy, company business goals—to your point, Chris—the general public may never see that information. They may get flavors of it, but not be able to reconstruct it. But someone, a human, will be able to see the entire thing. And that is the maker of the model. And that may be, they’d be, “Trust Insights just uploaded all of their financial information, and guess what? They’re one of our biggest competitors.” Katie Robbert – 16:34 So they did that knowingly, and now we can see it. So we can use that information for our own gain. Is that a likely scenario? Not in terms of Trust Insights. We are not a competitor to these large language models, but somebody is. Somebody out there is. Christopher S. Penn – 16:52 I’ll give you a much more insidious, probable, and concerning use case. Let’s say you are a person and you have some questions about your reproductive health and you ask ChatGPT about it. ChatGPT is run by OpenAI. OpenAI is an American company. Let’s say an official from the US government says, “I want a list of users who have had conversations about reproductive health,” and the Department of Justice issues this as a warranted request. OpenAI is required by law to comply with the federal government. They don’t get a choice. So the question then becomes, “Could that information be handed to the US government?” The answer is yes. The answer is yes. Christopher S. Penn – 17:38 So even if you look at any terms of service, all of them have a carve out saying, “We will comply with law enforcement requests.” They have to. They have to. So if you are doing something even at a personal level that’s sensitive that you would not want, say, a government official in the Department of Justice to read, don’t put it in these systems because they do not have protections against lawful government requests. Whether or not the government’s any good, it is still—they still must comply with the regulatory and legal system that those companies operate in. Things like that. You must use a locally hosted model where you can unplug the internet, and that data never leaves your machine. Christopher S. Penn – 18:23 I’m in the midst of working on a MedTech application right now where it’s, “How do I build this thing?” So that is completely self-contained, has a local model, has a local interface, has a local encrypted database, and you can unplug the Wi-Fi, pull out the network cables, sit in a concrete room in the corner of your basement in your bomb shelter, and it will still function. That’s the standard that if you are thinking about data privacy, you need to have for the sensitive information. And that begins with regulatory stuff. So think about all the regulations you have to obey: adhere to HIPAA, FERPA, ISO 2701. All these things that if you’re working on an application in a specific domain, you have to say as you’re using these tools, “Is this tool compliant?” Christopher S. Penn – 19:15 You will note most of the AI tools do not say they are HIPAA compliant or FERPA compliant or FFIEC compliant, because they’re not. Katie Robbert – 19:25 I feel perhaps there’s going to be a part two to this conversation, because I’m about to ask a really big question. Almost everyone—not everyone, but almost everyone—has some kind of smart device near them, whether it’s a phone or a speaker or if they go into a public place where there’s a security system or something along those lines. A lot of those devices, depending on the manufacturer, have some kind of AI model built in. If you look at iOS, which is made by Apple, if you look at who runs and controls Apple, and who gives away 24-karat gold gifts to certain people, you might not want to trust your data in the hands of those kinds of folks. Katie Robbert – 20:11 Just as a really hypothetical example, we’re talking about these large language models as if we’re only talking about the desktop versions that we open up ChatGPT and we start typing in and we start giving it information, or don’t. But what we have to also be aware of is if you have a smartphone, which a lot of us do, that even if you disable listening, guess what? It’s still listening. This is a conversation I have with my husband a lot because his tinfoil hat is bigger than mine. We both have them, but his is a little bit thicker. We have some smart speakers in the house. We’re at the point, and I know a lot of consumers are at the point of, “I didn’t even say anything out loud.” Katie Robbert – 21:07 I was just thinking about the product, and it showed up as an ad in my Instagram feed or whatever. The amount of data that you don’t realize you’re giving away for free is, for lack of a better term, disgusting. It’s huge. It’s a lot. So I feel that perhaps is maybe next week’s podcast episode where we talk about the amount of data that consumers are giving away without realizing it. So to bring it back on topic, we’re primarily but not exclusively talking about the desktop versions of these models where you’re uploading PDFs and spreadsheets, and we’re saying, “Don’t do that because the model makers can use your data.” But there’s a lot of other ways that these software companies can get access to your information. Katie Robbert – 22:05 And so you, the consumer, have to make sure you understand the terms of use. Christopher S. Penn – 22:10 Yes. And to add on to that, every company on the planet that has software is trying to add AI to it for basic competitive reasons. However, not all APIs are created the same. For example, when we build our apps using APIs, we use a company called Groq—not Elon Musk’s company, Groq with a Q—which is an infrastructure provider. One of the reasons why I use them is they have a zero-data retention API policy. They do not retain data at all on their APIs. So the moment the request is done, they send the data back, it’s gone. They have no logs, so they can’t. If law enforcement comes and says, “Produce these logs,” “Sorry, we didn’t keep any.” That’s a big consideration. Christopher S. Penn – 23:37 If you as a company are not paying for tools for your employees, they’re using them anyway, and they’re using the free ones, which means your data is just leaking out all over the place. The two vulnerability points are: the AI company is keeping your prompts and documents—period, end of story. It’s unlikely to show up in the public models, but someone could look at that. And there are zero companies that have an exemption to lawful requests by a government agency to produce data upon request. Those are the big headlines. Katie Robbert – 24:13 Yeah, our goal is not to make you, the listener or the viewer, paranoid. We really just want to make sure you understand what you’re dealing with when using these tools. And the same is true. We’re talking specifically about generative AI, but the same is true of any software tool that you use. So take generative AI out of it and just think about general software. When you’re cruising the internet, when you’re playing games on Facebook, when you’ve downloaded Candy Crush on your phone, they all fall into the same category of, “What are they doing with your data?” And so you may say, “I’m not giving it any data.” And guess what? You are. So we can cover that in a different podcast episode. Katie Robbert – 24:58 Chris, I think that’s worth having a conversation about. Christopher S. Penn – 25:01 Absolutely.

News and Updates: “Vibe coding” is redefining software development by letting AI handle most coding tasks — even architecture — through natural-language prompts. Tools like Windsurf, Replit, and Microsoft Copilot let pros and hobbyists alike generate entire apps, but the code still needs close review. Google recently acquired Windsurf's CEO for $2.4B, highlighting AI's growing role in dev workflows. The UK and 24 U.S. states now require age verification (via government ID or face scans) for access to adult content. Critics argue these laws do little to protect children and instead threaten user privacy by collecting sensitive personal data — data often stored insecurely and vulnerable to leaks. Users can mitigate risks by using burner accounts, VPNs, and privacy tools — though laws are evolving, and enforcement may increase. Experts say the laws are easy to bypass and are more likely to harm privacy than improve online safety for kids. Delta is phasing out fixed ticket prices in favor of AI-driven personalized fares, which could eventually target individuals based on their data. Only 3% of fares currently use the system, but Delta expects that to rise to 20% by year's end. Privacy experts warn this “surveillance pricing” could lead to unfair, exploitative practices — especially for lower-income travelers. Music fans were stunned to find AI-generated songs appearing on Spotify under deceased artists' names like Blaze Foley and Guy Clark. The platform removed the tracks after backlash, admitting they violated deceptive content policies — but there's still no label to indicate whether music is AI-generated.

What is the right way, if there is one at all, to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) technology into our education system? For Sal Khan, CEO of one of the world's largest nonprofit education technology platforms, the answer is to take a step back and ask: Where can AI best complement current pedagogy? If a problem can be solved by pencil and paper, should we really be using AI instead?Khan joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss his recent book, “Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That's a Good Thing),” in which he makes the case for why the education sector will not only survive but thrive in the age of AI. He shares his 17-year journey to build and grow his organization, which now provides over 10,000 videos on everything from integral calculus to art history, reaching more than 170 million registered users in over 20 languages, mostly for free. Together, the three talk about how and where AI can enhance the learning process: how AI has shifted Khan's philosophy and approach to pedagogy, how it could democratize educational and economic opportunity, and what this all means for traditional modes of learning and instruction in schools and universities. They also discuss concerns about data ownership, Khan's partnerships with tech companies, and the guardrails he proposes to protect education against the monetization of students' data and the concentration of benefits to privileged children. Ultimately, he makes the case for why teachers aren't going anywhere—and leaves aspiring nonprofit and civic leaders with advice on how to build a successful, mission-driven organization.Read a review of Sal Khan's book on ProMarket, written by Capitalisn't team member Matt Lucky.

Yasir Ali, CEO of Polymer, discusses the shortcomings of current security frameworks, emphasizing their outdated nature and lack of real verification. He argues that many organizations still rely on signed statements without providing tangible evidence of compliance with security controls. This disconnect has become increasingly problematic, especially with the rise of AI and the need for more robust data protection measures. Ali highlights that the traditional approach of simply stating compliance is no longer sufficient in a landscape where data privacy and security are paramount.Ali suggests that the solution lies in a more evidence-based approach to security frameworks. He advocates for organizations to provide real-time evidence of their security practices, particularly in relation to how customer data is handled and used. This includes demonstrating that customer data is not being misused for AI training purposes. He believes that the industry needs to move beyond mere documentation and focus on actual compliance and security practices that can be verified.The conversation also touches on the role of customers in demanding better security practices from service providers. While Ali acknowledges that end customers often feel overlooked, he points out that larger organizations, such as banks, have begun to push back against vendors to ensure their data is protected. He emphasizes that smaller businesses must take responsibility for their own data security, as the regulatory environment in the U.S. is not providing sufficient oversight.As AI adoption accelerates through SaaS products, Ali expresses concern about the new vulnerabilities that may arise. He notes that many organizations are integrating AI tools into their existing systems without fully understanding the implications for data security. Polymer aims to address these challenges by providing tools that enhance data security and compliance within SaaS environments, ensuring that organizations can protect their sensitive information while leveraging the benefits of AI.
