Podcasts about Generative

In recognition of Artificial Intelligence Appreciation Day, this episode of the Research Insights Podcast revisits "A Primer on Generative AI." The discussion explores generative AI through an actuarial lens, examining what these tools are, what they can and cannot do, and how they can be used responsibly alongside actuarial judgment. It also covers practical applications, reliability, risk, and governance—key considerations as AI continues to reshape the way professionals work. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into actuarial practice and the broader business landscape, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone looking to better understand both the opportunities and limitations of generative AI. Listen now to revisit this timely and insightful conversation.

Dr Beth Chapman, Associate Head of School and Program Director for Postgraduate Education, University of Canberra is a teacher educator and researcher at the University of Canberra, whose work focuses on generative AI, assessment, academic integrity and digital transformation in education.She speaks about how Generative AI is rapidly reshaping education, challenging long-held assumptions about knowledge, assessment, authorship and learning itself. This session explores emerging research and global responses to AI in education, with particular attention to the increasingly dialogic relationship developing between students and AI systems. Rather than focusing solely on academic integrity and detection, the presentation examines how AI is changing the nature of thinking, feedback, creativity and meaning making in schools and universities. Drawing on contemporary research, practical examples and broader philosophical ideas such as simulacra and synthetic knowledge, the session will invite school leaders to consider what authentic learning and assessment might look like in an age where AI can convincingly simulate understanding, expertise and human interaction. The presentation will also explore implications for policy, assessment design, teacher practice and student wellbeing as schools navigate this rapidly evolving landscape.

After 15 years in Silicon Valley, working with brands like Gap, Sephora, and Home Depot on their post-purchase e-commerce experience, he became an STR host - and immediately spotted a gap that his industry background made obvious. The tools that e-commerce businesses took for granted simply did not exist for vacation rental operators who wanted to build a direct booking website worth having. Crafted Stays is Gil's answer to that gap: a purpose-built direct booking platform that works the way a proper commerce site should, not as feature number 40 in a property management system's marketing materials. But what makes this conversation particularly timely is where Gil has taken the platform over the past year - deep into AI-powered search, website building, and the kind of content strategy that gets operators found in places Google's traditional search results simply can't reach. This episode covers direct booking strategy, how search is changing (and what SEO, AEO, and GEO actually mean for property managers), the Aria AI assistant Gil built into Crafted Stays, and how operators can start thinking about their online presence in a way that serves both guests and the AI systems that are increasingly mediating how people find places to stay. It's a practical, technically grounded conversation - and one that will stay relevant for some time. ‍KEY TAKEAWAYS‍ Direct booking websites built on WordPress and plugins were never designed for the live data demands of vacation rental commerce. Purpose-built platforms handle PMS connections, checkout, and mobile experience in a fundamentally different way.‍ SEO, AEO, and GEO are three different things. Traditional search engine optimization gets you on page one of Google. Answer engine optimization gets you into the snippet at the top of the page. Generative engine optimization gets you cited when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude for a recommendation. Operators need to think about all three.‍ AI-powered review analysis is an underused tool. Most operators check a five-star review and move on. Mining reviews for recurring themes - a screened porch that guests keep mentioning, a location detail that keeps coming up - surfaces the specific things guests value most, and those become the content anchors for the entire website. The Sightline Report that Aria generates combines property data, review sentiment, and third-party SEO keyword research to produce a strategic playbook for each operator. It tells them which keywords to target, which landing pages to build, and which guest personas to write toward - without requiring any marketing expertise from the operator. Building your AI business brain before you start using AI tools is not optional - it is foundational. Gil has been giving every new team member at Crafted Stays the same 40-page document about the business since he built it a year ago. The quality of AI output is directly tied to the quality of context you give it. The divide in AI adoption is getting wider, not narrower. Some operators are building sophisticated automated systems; others have barely touched ChatGPT. The window to build a real advantage by getting in early is still open, but it will not stay that way indefinitely.‍ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the final episode of Season 16, Julia Wagemann speaks with Phil Cooper, Geospatial Global Tech BD for the Amazon Public Sector team, and Nadine Alameh, Founder of LunateAI and former CEO of the Open Geospatial Consortium. The conversation closes the GenAI for Geospatial Challenge takeover by looking beyond the individual prototypes and asking what this moment means for the wider geospatial industry. Phil reflects on the evolution of Earth observation from a time when researchers might spend months analysing a single satellite image to today's world of petabyte-scale data, cloud infrastructure and AI-enabled analysis. Generative and agentic AI are now helping organisations engage with geospatial data without needing years of specialist experience, opening the field to new industries, users and ideas. Nadine describes this as a moment in which anyone with a strong idea can begin turning it into a prototype, solution or business. She also reflects on the Challenge's role in demonstrating the art of the possible, lowering barriers and supporting teams working on meaningful problems across climate, health, oceans, infrastructure, insurance and spatial intelligence. The episode explores the patterns that emerged across the 14 winning teams. Unlike earlier experiments focused primarily on the technology itself, many of this year's projects were grounded in specific domain challenges, including methane monitoring, malaria planning, cocoa supply-chain transparency, marine intelligence, disaster risk and insurance. Phil and Nadine also discuss the rapid move from generative AI towards agentic systems, multimodal geospatial foundation models and natural-language interfaces. As these tools become more operational, the conversation turns to trust, data governance, standards, provenance and the need to help users understand where information comes from and how it has been processed. The episode also considers which sectors may adopt geospatial AI first, why energy and finance are already moving quickly, and how geospatial intelligence could become embedded into everyday decision-making across industries.

In this episode, I sit down with Brad Lewington, who spent seven years as CEO of Spencer Ogden, taking over the business when 80% of its revenue was tied to a collapsing oil & gas market and rebuilding it into a £121M-revenue business that sold to private equity 30 days before COVID hit.After stepping away in 2023, Brad started again from zero, launching Generative Group from Guildford with an offshore team in Cape Town built in from day one.We dig into the mistakes he made spreading his new business too thin across too many "islands" in year one, why he'd already given founders the exact advice he then ignored, and how refocusing on a single niche took Generative from £456K to £1.4M in net fee income.Connect with Brad here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradlewington/-------------------------Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rxPtMWtJGkg-------------------------Podcast Sponsors: Claim your exclusive savings from our partners with the links below:Sourcewhale - Check Out Sourcewhale & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.Atlas - Check Out Atlas & Claim Your Exclusive Offer HereRaise - Check Out Raise & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.-------------------------Want more content like this?The Wednesday Debrief is our free weekly newsletter for recruiters who take their craft seriously.

Data Centers are all over the news lately because AI companies are building them, apparently as fast as they can manage. They take up huge amounts of resources, including electricity and water and hardware and all of the things building huge facilities requires. But what exactly is a data center, and why do we need so many of them? And why do they consume so much electricity and water and other resources? What are they doing? Are they all doing the same thing or are there different kinds? We discuss these questions, and some of the ways we all use data centers every day even if we don't use Generative AI — and some of the benefits we all receive without realizing there's a data center on the other end of the service.

George disappeared from the internet for three years. When he came back, he found an entire Reddit thread:  a community of people genuinely unsure if he was still alive. He had no idea it existed. And that's exactly the point. Your online reputation is working for you or against you right now. Whether you're watching it or not. John Horn is the CEO of StubGroup, a top Google Premier Partner agency that has generated over half a billion dollars in client revenue. In this conversation, he and George break down what online reputation actually is in 2026, how AI has permanently raised the stakes, and the simple actions every business owner can take today to make sure what people find online matches who they actually are. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why your online reputation is the first thing a prospect sees and why most owners have no idea what it looks like How AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are surfacing old reviews you forgot existed The 80/20 approach to managing your presence without spreading yourself thin Why responding to every review (good and bad) is one of the highest-ROI things you can do The "painting vs. garden" strategy for platforms you no longer actively use How to audit your curb appeal and what to fix first The ethical approach to paid ads that builds trust instead of eroding it Why the buying cycle is never linear and how to control what prospects find at every touchpoint Key Takeaways: ✔️Perception is reality. You can do the best work in the world, but if your online presence doesn't reflect it, prospects will never give you the chance to prove it. ✔️Google your own name, then Google your name plus "reviews." Be surprised. Then fix it. ✔️AI is surfacing reviews from 2014. Negative reviews you forgot about are being cited by ChatGPT and Gemini right now as part of prospect research. ✔️Respond to every review, especially the positive ones. Two minutes per review. Massive signal to prospects that you're human, present, and you care. ✔️Don't delete inactive social profiles, turn them into paintings. Update the bio, pin a redirect post, and let them quietly direct traffic where you actually exist. ✔️You don't have to be everywhere. Pick one platform to anchor your reviews. Monitor where Google surfaces everything else. Show up just enough to demonstrate you're alive. ✔️Ethical marketing means your online presence and your actual client experience are the same thing. Inconsistency is the trap. ✔️The buying journey is not linear. Someone may find your Facebook page at 10pm after a movie. What they see at that moment sets the tone.

This is a special episode produced by the collaboration between TiE San Diego and Tantra's Mantra.In this episode, I speak to Mark Budgen of Lenovo and Rajnikant Gupta of TCS on the current status of AI adoption in enterprises. We start by discussing which segments and which functions within organizations have seen deeper adoption of AI, whether AI projects have moved from PoC and trials to production, what the major challenges are in that transition, how the thinking and approach of enterprises toward AI have changed over the short period, the need for “Human in the loop,” and the necessity of Hybrid AI. We discuss key takeaways from Lenovo's “CIO Playbook 2026” report and how enterprises are now more focused on improving and accelerating business outcomes rather than simply improving productivity.Finally, we delve into what to expect in the near and far future, moving from Generative and Agentic AI to Physical and Embodied AI.Index:00:00 - Intro01:05 - Guest intro (Mark Budgen, CTO, Global Technology Partners at Lenovo, & Rajnikant Gupta, Global Head - Partner Ecosystems and Alliances, TCS)02:28 - Current status of AI adoption in Enterprises, how AI can improve business, not just efficiency, risk considerations06:30 - Difference in level of AI adoption between various functional groups within Enterprises - IT, Coding, Security, Supply Chain, Sales & Marketing13:30 - Evolution of Human involvement in AI processes.

Gatekeepers everywhere. If they're not “Big Hollywood” trying to fence out Christian creators, they're natural barriers like lack of resources. Then along comes the siren call of generative AI. It is said these tools can boost creators' art powers and help them dodge burly guards at the gates! Of course, these programs also generate quite a ruckus. But apart from disputes over job changes and environmental impacts lies one greater question for us fans—can all these cool tools actually help Christian storytellers make amazing new works that change our world? Episode sponsors Twist of Time by Tricia Goyer and Nathan Goyer Realm Makers 2026 Conference & Expo Author Update from Author Media Iffy Eats Monsters for Breakfast by Bryan Timothy Mitchell Mission update New at Lorehaven: new reviews of The Donor and more Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild 1. Yes, if we use gen-AI as tools, not minds. Stephen is first to admit some hatred of AI has grown very foolish. Undoubtedly these may include absurdist political activisms. You may have facts/opinions about data centers and water use. And you may want to “beat China,” or else not care about that. But some of us at Lorehaven never first relied on those arguments. If you marry that “spirit of age,” pro– or anti-AI, you'll be widowed. Instead we asked about the biblical purposes of humans and art. So all we say here needs to be the Scriptural steel-man version. What if tech lords did make AI cheaper? Built in space? Won big? Your support/opposition to any tool should remain the exact same. Stephen prefers one guiding idea: use AI as a “tool,” not “mind.” “…Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain?” —Arthur Weasley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling 2. Maybe, with biblical human safeguards. In this case, biblical reason supports mastery over tools, not verse. This isn't just about AI or any technology, but universal to creation. Mankind can abuse anything as an idol or use it for God's glory. AI is a special case when it is generative, “making” “new” “art.” Creators have different opinions on how/whether to use this. Stephen does refuse to use generative AI in basically all respects. Nothing he writes, at any stage of the process, is AI-generated. However, he will use AI programs as tools for research/tutoring. These programs excel at gathering/repeating public information. When it's “scraped” from free sources, that seems more ethical. Researchers, however, should know to cite primary sources. Creators can do that may aim closer for biblically ideal creativity. But if creators refuse, and “outsource” their own minds to tools? Well, they'll get lost in the slop and will reach creative dead ends. 3. No, if we rank ourselves over fan interests. A few activists seem overly bullish on using AI as substitute-minds. They're the opposite to reflexive (and short-sighted) AI haters. Some even call loudly for Christian-made art, quick, easy, good(?). This seems a strange cope, short-sighted, and reality-challenged. The cope: some creatives have not made it far past previous gates. They do seem to think mechanical tools will solve human problems. Short-sighted: Christians do already use AI to generate “artworks.” Example: Jon Erwin with House of David season 2 and Old Stories. Yet we don’t hear much about these. That may tell us something. Reality-challenged: this is where Stephen may end the debate. Clear aside all talk of ethics, gatekeepers, policies, impacts. Four simple words blow up gen-AI optimism: Thanks, I hate it. That's all you need to end all this hoopla about gen-AI revolutions. If the people don't want it, they don't want it. And that's that. Right now, people don't want it. How do we know? We asked AI. Stephen queried three AI programs with this question: Apart from the debates over cost, environmental impact, economy shifts, and all the politics, especially among leaders in big tech and government … what could we say is the public’s general *impression* in response to AI-generated images, movies, music, and other artworks? Is the public’s stated response good, mixed, or negative? Any particular trend-lines to note? Response from ChatGPT (excerpt, more optimistic): Public sentiment is neither uniformly positive nor uniformly negative — it skews positive for convenience, novelty, and clear utility, but is strongly negative or cautious when authenticity, creator rights, trust, or deception are at stake. Response from Gemini (excerpt, mixed-negative) If you strip away the high-level policy debates and economic anxiety, the general public's stated response to AI-generated art—images, music, movies, and literature—is highly mixed, but leaning increasingly negative and protective of human creativity. While people love playing with the tools as novelties, the moment they switch from being creators to consumers, a distinct psychological shift occurs. Data from major public opinion studies (like Pew Research, Stanford HAI, and various consumer tracking surveys) highlight several fascinating, counterintuitive trend-lines regarding how the public perceives AI art. (bold emphasis in original) Response from Grok (excerpt, mixed-negative) Mixed, with a lean toward negative or skeptical once people know something is AI-generated—particularly for standalone or fully AI-created works—though curiosity and practical utility exist. Public impressions are nuanced: many appreciate the technology as a tool or for novelty/entertainment, but there’s consistent preference for human-created art, emotional depth tied to human experience, and transparency. Pure AI outputs often face backlash as “slop,” lacking authenticity. (bold emphasis in original) If even AI programs reflect this skepticism, that's big. Even an AI skeptic like Stephen sees its use in aggregate “polls.” Anyone claiming optimism about AI is logically bound to hear this. Apart from AI is anecdotal evidence. Few fans want gen-AI stuff. Right now, fans are praising films with practical, human-made art. They like the indie-horror movies and Project Hail Mary, no AI. And they love the new Spider-Man trailer with suits and shadows! Some makers boast AI will save time and bypass the big gates. But if fans don't like that “slop,” the maker simply indulges himself. That's fine for personal enjoyment but not for real service to others. We've already seen this with bad Christian human-made stories. If we're practical, why we intentionally clash with the market? Even if fans want to make AI slop, they do not want others’ AI slop. And if we're idealistic, why make inhuman slop for human souls? We lose all high ground at claiming to be more virtuous and godly. We would lose all the how-it's-made stories behind the stories. Remember that whole AI-generated-actress thing? Flash in a pan. But people love the deeply human Tom Holland (who's wise on AI!). Not only that, we'll be wildly and foolishly off documented trends. There may be a place for gen-AI content, in memes or political ads. In other words, this stuff is disposable “art.” Yet it will not last. If we want to save today's culture, gen-AI is certainly no savior. And if we want to grow and train others, AI could become a villain. Com station Top question for listeners As a fan, how do you feel when you learn any “art” is generated? The Adaptation Stationmaster replied to episode 317: It's actually pretty rare for me to mourn when a good TV show ends. I feel like too many of them go on too long past their peak because they're popular. It's kind of nice to see them decide to go out on a high note instead. One Guild hero (and his wife) grieve over Star Wars: My wife and I had just seen the second third Star Wars sequel. I didn’t like it, but she was devastated. Star Wars wasn’t just a story she appreciated. It was part of the tapestry of her life, woven into some of her best memories. She had put so much of her time and love into that galaxy far, far away, and in that moment it felt like it was broken beyond repair, forever. Her restoration started with the books. Star Wars has one of the widest bodies of expanded universe lore, so even she could find something new to dig into. … It’s an odd place. In one sense, the universe is still destroyed. Star Wars has lost its place at the top of the pop culture pyramid, and may not ever take that place again. Through that, it might lack the largesse that allowed it become such an expansive universe in the first place. But, her place still existed. I think that’s where many of us will find ourselves in the coming days: wishing for the grand galaxies of yesterday, but finding only little pockets of warmth among the stars. Next on Fantastical Truth We're recording this episode before Realm Makers! So once we return, we'll have a better idea of what topics to cover. But in general, we can say that we're pleased to have met or re-met so many Lorehaven fans at that expo. Lord willing, we'll see you again in St. Louis next summer!

In this episode, Stewart Alsop sits down with Aaron Lowry, founder of Circulatory Fidelity, to dig into some genuinely mind-bending territory — from Aaron's framework for measuring load-bearing dependencies between things, to the multi-agent AI lab he's built to do cross-domain scientific research, to the surprising parallels between entropy, ontology, and hand-wrapping a wiring harness on a vintage car. They also get into abductive reasoning, the problem of combinatorial explosion, why consensus is the secret engine of civilization, and what it actually means to build a system with an explicit ontology versus just winging it. Check out Aaron's work at circulatoryfidelity.com.Timestamps00:00 — Aaron explains his framework of abduction as a third mode of reasoning alongside induction and deduction, describing his approach as "cataloging shadows" of things we can observe but not yet define.05:00 — The conversation shifts to consensus mechanisms, measurement systems, and how shared definitions in language and commerce reduce friction in civilized society.10:00 — Stewart and Aaron discuss communication loss in human language, how close-knit groups develop lower-loss protocols, and the parallel to business relationships and trust.15:00 — Aaron breaks down Circulatory Fidelity as an algebraic measuring tool for load-bearing dependencies between things, connecting it to relevance realization and combinatorial explosion.20:00 — Aaron describes his multi-agent AI lab, including domain tiers, inter-domain translation using semiotics, and how he coined the term complexity to replace the ambiguous word "synergy."25:00 — Discussion of ontologies, Poincaré discs, and how Aaron's lab explicitly structures relational primacy versus reductionism through a theology agent and an adversary agent.30:00 — Aaron walks through how his agents manage circulatoryfidelity.com and how the adversary functions as a generative tension mechanism against overclaiming.35:00 — The episode closes on Aaron's work in vintage car restoration, tying craftsmanship, wiring harnesses, and the philosophy of participatory creation back to his broader research posture.Key InsightsAbductive reasoning is the overlooked third pillar alongside induction and deduction. Drawn from C.S. Peirce, it works with less firm structures — more intuitive, more shadow-tracking — and Aaron sees it as the right tool for discovering patterns that conventional scientific measurement tends to miss.Cheap factorization is powerful but dangerous. Most of reality can be broken into parts and measured accurately, but some things lose all their relevant information the moment you separate them. Knowing which is which is the whole game.Consensus is infrastructure. From a gram to a traffic light to a shared definition, civilization runs on agreed-upon measurements. The moment consensus breaks down — as the French discovered after their revolution — entire systems become unstable and costly to operate.Constraints are affordances. Entropy and gravity aren't just limitations — they're the ground on which everything is built. Aaron argues that persistent laws of nature are tools, and ignoring them doesn't make them go away, it just makes your model wrong.Ontology is always present, whether you name it or not. Every agent, every system, every framework has one built in. The question is only whether you've made it explicit and intentional — or left it implicit and unexamined.Generative tension is a design principle. Aaron built an adversary agent specifically to challenge overclaims in his lab, mirroring the way opposing forces in nature and tradition keep systems honest and prevent overfitting to comfortable conclusions.Creation is participatory. Whether wrapping a wiring harness for fifty hours or building an agent network, Aaron sees making things as an active, relational process — posture, attention, and intent are what turn potential into reality.

"comma develops open source ADAS software. You can call it self-driving software, but currently what we ship is something where the user is supposed to pay attention all the time." "We want the software to be open source so that people have full control. The hardware is something you have root on. We don't have any access to your device in terms of that's necessary to make it operate normally. There's some telemetry that you can turn off if you want. The device is something you buy, you run open source software on it and there's no cloud involved in making it work as an ADAS product." ***"We're pretty passionate about making sure that if you buy something you own it, if you run software, it should be open source and you should be able to modify it, or at least we shouldn't be able to stop you. That should be a thing that you control." ~ Harald Schäfer*** In this episode I talk with Harald Schäfer, CTO of comma(.)ai, about building sovereign driver-assist tech that runs locally on hardware you actually own. We dig into open-source ADAS, resisting the subscription and cloud-control model, how comma stayed sustainable without obtaining billions from VCs, and the real impact of modern AI on software development and robotics.

Saint Irenaeus (130–202 AD) was a Greek bishop recognized as one of the most important early Church Fathers and one of it's first major apologist. He is noted for his role in guiding and expanding Christian communities in the southern regions of present-day France and, more widely, for the development of Christian theology by opposing Gnostic interpretations of Christian Scripture and defending orthodoxy. Originating from Smyrna in Turkey, he had seen and heard the preaching of Polycarp, who in turn was said to have heard John the Evangelist. His annual Feast day is June 28 and he is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Protestant Lutheran Churches, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, and the Assyrian Church of the East. He was declared a Doctor of the Church in 2022.

In this episode of Selling to Corporate, Jess Lorimer explains why 66% of corporate decision makers are now using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot to research and shortlist external suppliers before they visit a single website. If you are a coach, consultant, speaker, trainer, or done-for-you service provider selling to corporate clients, this episode covers what that shift means for your lead generation strategy and what you need to do right now to stay visible. Who this episode is for Coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers who sell services to corporate clients Anyone who has a strong reputation and great client results but is not generating consistent inbound enquiries Business owners who want to understand how AI search is changing the B2B buying process Those who rely heavily on referrals or proactive outreach and want to add a passive visibility layer to their lead generation Anyone preparing for a strong September who wants to be findable by active corporate buyers before the summer ends How are corporate buyers using AI to find coaches, consultants, and trainers? The way corporate buyers source external suppliers has changed significantly over the last 12 to 18 months. Traditionally, a decision maker would ask for internal referrals, then send a junior employee to Google to find and benchmark potential suppliers. That process has shifted. Corporate buyers are now going directly to AI tools and typing conversational queries such as "find me a leadership coach who works with financial services firms" rather than searching for short keywords. The AI platform does not return a list of website links to browse. It returns a shortlist of three to five named suppliers it considers relevant, credible, and well-documented. If you are not being indexed, cited, and recommended by AI, you are not part of that shortlist. You do not exist to that buyer, regardless of how good your website is or how often you post on LinkedIn. What is passive visibility and why does it matter for B2B coaches and consultants? Passive visibility is the ability to be found by corporate decision makers who are actively searching for what you offer, without you having to actively reach out to them at that moment. With the rise of AI-powered search, passive visibility has taken on new importance. When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity to recommend a consultant, coach, or trainer in your specialism, AI platforms surface experts based on structured, credible information it can find and verify about you across the web. This is different from passive income. Passive visibility means building the conditions so that when corporate buyers are actively looking, your name comes up, even while you sleep. What is generative engine optimization (GEO) and how does it help you sell to corporate? Generative engine optimization, or GEO, is the practice of structuring and distributing your content and professional information so that AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google Gemini can index, cite, and recommend you. It is different from traditional SEO (search engine optimization), which focuses on ranking on Google's results pages. GEO focuses on appearing in the AI-generated answers that corporate buyers are now receiving when they search for external suppliers. In practice, GEO involves creating structured, expert-led content that directly answers the questions your ideal corporate buyers are asking. It involves building a consistent presence across high-quality, curated platforms that AI tools trust and crawl regularly. One example of this is being listed in a specialist directory like the Expert Services Directory, where AI is actively crawling listings every day and surfacing relevant specialists to corporate buyers. Why isn't my website getting me found by corporate decision makers? Having a well-designed website is no longer enough to guarantee visibility with corporate buyers. Traditional search engine optimization was built for Google, and Google returns website links. AI-powered search platforms work differently. They synthesize information from multiple trusted sources and return a curated answer. If you are only relying on your website and social media posting to generate inbound enquiries from corporate clients, you are optimizing for a search behaviour that corporate buyers are increasingly moving away from. The coaches and consultants getting shortlisted by AI are those who have consistent, structured information across multiple authoritative sources. Your website is one piece of that picture. It is not the whole picture. Should coaches and consultants stop doing proactive outreach now that AI search exists? No. And in this episode, Jess is very clear about this. Proactive outreach remains the most predictable, measurable, and scalable way to identify and approach corporate decision makers. AI search and passive visibility are not a replacement for proactive lead generation. They are a complement to it. Proactive outreach gives you control over your pipeline. Passive visibility through AI search gives you additional inbound opportunities from buyers who are already actively looking to buy. The most effective B2B sales strategy for coaches and consultants in 2026 uses both together. How do I use AI in my B2B sales process without outsourcing my strategy? Jess is known for her strong views on AI usage in sales, and she addresses them directly in this episode. The issue is not AI itself. The issue is outsourcing your critical thinking, your creative strategy, and your outreach messaging to AI tools that are only as good as the generic, often poor-quality sales content that exists on the internet. Your methodology, your intellectual property, and your client relationships are not things AI can replicate. What AI can support is the manual, administrative, and research-heavy parts of your lead generation process. That includes improving your passive visibility so you are being found by active buyers, and targeting better qualified cold corporate contacts more efficiently. These are very specific, intentional uses. They are not a shortcut to replacing a proven B2B sales process. What is the Expert Services Directory and how does it help coaches get found by corporate buyers? The Expert Services Directory is a curated directory of specialist coaches, consultants, speakers, trainers, and done-for-you service providers who work with corporate organisations. It is limited to 10 specialists per category per location, which means it is a high-quality, structured resource that AI tools actively crawl and trust. Being listed in the Expert Services Directory means you are part of a curated platform that AI is already indexing and citing when corporate buyers search for external specialists in your area. This is one of the most straightforward ways to improve your passive visibility and start showing up in AI-generated shortlists for active corporate buyers.

In "The Dark Data Trap: Unlocking Logistics Documents with Tungsten Automation's Patrick Van Hull" Joe Lynch and Patrick Van Hull, Supply Chain Industry Consultant at Tungsten Automation, discuss how intelligent document processing eliminates manual data traps to drive logistics efficiency and cost savings. About Patrick Van Hull Patrick Van Hull, widely recognized as the Supply Chain Storyteller, helps organizations transform complexity into clarity. A multi-time "Top 25 Global Thought Leader and Influencer on Supply Chain" and Supply Chain Pro-to-Know, he focuses on supply chain digitalization and capability development, showing how operational details can drive resilience and performance across the value chain. Patrick's career spans more than two decades, with leadership and advisory roles at Apple, Dell, Rio Tinto, and CVS Health, Gartner, Deloitte, and SCM World, he became known for bridging practitioner expertise with executive-level insights to turn data and technology into impactful strategies and programs. Most recently, he has focused on helping enterprises use AI-powered intelligence to strengthen resilience and anticipate disruption. He holds degrees from the University of Michigan and Duke University Fuqua School of Business, and lectures on supply chain strategy at the University of Arkansas Walton School of Business. About Tungsten Automation Tungsten Automation, formerly Kofax, is the global leader in AI-powered document and workflow automation solutions, boasting a 40-year trusted legacy and a team of 2,200 employees across 40 countries, serving over 25,000 global customers. Our commitment to innovation and customer success has earned us industry recognition, including being named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intelligent Document Processing. Tungsten has also been recognized by other key analysts in areas such as Intelligent Automation and Process Orchestration. We are trusted to help businesses achieve unprecedented efficiencies and reduce costs through document and workflow automation, allowing them to scale and future-proof their business. Key Takeaways: The Dark Data Trap: Unlocking Logistics Documents In "The Dark Data Trap: Unlocking Logistics Documents with Tungsten Automation's Patrick Van Hull" Joe Lynch and Patrick Van Hull, Supply Chain Industry Consultant at Tungsten Automation, discuss how intelligent document processing eliminates manual data traps to drive logistics efficiency and cost savings. Tungsten Automation Profile: Formerly Kofax, Tungsten is a global leader in AI-powered Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and advanced workflow automation. Backed by a 40-year legacy, 2,200 employees, and 25,000+ global customers, the company was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for IDP. Their cloud-based platform sits cleanly over multiple, fragmented ERP and TMS networks to pull and push data seamlessly. Escaping the "Dark Data Trap": Moving a single international ocean container can require upwards of 30 separate documents. Because traditional TMS and ERP platforms can't read unstructured data (like dense PDFs, faxes, or Excel spreadsheets), this critical info becomes trapped "dark data." Tungsten uses IDP to automatically ingest, classify, and extract line-item data from over 40 different logistics document types, turning paper trails into structured, digital assets. Slashing AP Errors & Driving Revenue: Manual touchpoints in freight invoicing lead to constant billing discrepancies and human errors. Through automated multi-way matching, reconciliation, and automated exception handling, Tungsten drives "zero-touch" processing for order management and invoices. In one case study, acting as an automated "quality check" against contracted rates helped a major freight shipper capture an incremental $20 million in annual revenue. Preventing Customs and Shipment Delays: When data errors or missing documents hit customs or a port, shipments grind to a halt, triggering costly penalties, demurrage fees, and port congestion. Tungsten automates data extraction and email ingestion for customs clearance, validating regulatory documentation and compliance checks before shipments ever hit major bottlenecks. Accelerating Carrier and Supplier Onboarding: Traditional onboarding forces procurement teams into a weeks-long "paper chase" of manual risk assessments and compliance reviews. Tungsten uses automated self-service portals paired with automated risk assessments—such as using the platform to instantly verify the legitimacy of bank and credit statements—condensing onboarding timelines from weeks down to a matter of days. Bridging the Gap Between AI Hype and Reality: AI cannot solve supply chain issues without clean, unified data. Patrick notes that trying to run raw, messy documents entirely through an unguided Large Language Model (LLM) can cause the AI to run wild, exhausting months' worth of token allocations in a single week. Tungsten effectively solves this by embedding AI directly into workflows, blending traditional rules-based automation (RPA) for standard patterns with Generative and Agentic AI to manage highly complex exceptions. Elevating the Human Experience: Eliminating rudimentary data entry is ultimately a personal win for the workforce. Moving away from "swivel chair activity" and manual data chasing reduces friction and human error. By shifting repetitive tasks to automated workflows, logistics employees are freed up to use human ingenuity, focus on creative problem-solving, and ultimately enjoy more meaningful, higher-value work.

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human.  This week we learn from the feminist philosopher Donna Haraway about  thinking beyond binaries, cultivating community and taking risks. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: “Thinking requires action and passion,” says feminist philosopher and scholar, Donna Haraway in this unique conversation. In her 1985 essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” and 2003 work, “The Companion Species Manifesto”, Haraway challenged patriarchal, capitalist, binary, species-ist ways of looking at the world. It's no surprise that people are looking to her work again now. Generative thinking, she tells Laura, requires “taking the risk to try a new pattern; to invent something that may very well fall apart in your collective hands but leaves threads to be picked up again.” In this episode, Haraway and Flanders sit down for an expansive conversation about what it means to be human in an age of AI and resisting what she calls authoritarian “mono-thought.” Plus, a commentary from Laura on staying in the present and “staying with the trouble.” “An individual is embedded deeply in worlds with other people, with other organisms, with living and non-living parts of the world. To be a self is to come to a thicker appreciation and accountability for the way we're embedded in the world and act in the world. That's what I mean by being a proper self.” - Donna Haraway Guests:  Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California Santa Cruz, History of Consciousness Department; Author, A Cyborg Manifesto, When Species Meet, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

We discuss this through the lens of the performing arts (such as the burlesque community), as well as book events (such as markets). This isn't a call-out, it's a calling-in, and please know that all of this is said with love! ALSO: I am addressing this episode to people who are using generative AI in the creative spaces. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that most of our listeners here on the Author Diary Entries podcast are NOT using generative AI — in which case, think of this episode as a resource for discussing with others about WHY you don't use it, and why they should care. Please do share this episode, because this is a very important topic! If, on the other hand, you DO use generative AI in the creative spaces… this episode is an appeal to you. And again, this is a calling-in. I do not believe in shaming people, and this is NOT about shaming anyone. If you feel defensive at any point throughout this episode, that's probably going to be a good indicator that there's something deeper to explore. Get curious about any defensiveness you might experience. This is an invitation to go within, to think about your values, to get clarity on what matters to you. Remember to leave a voicemail for the author after tuning in to this episode, to share your thoughts, insights, questions, and comments! Resources mentioned in this episode: Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Episode 187: You are hurting YOURSELF when you use AI to “write” your books: https://www.buzzsprout.com/400015/episodes/17423776-187-you-are-hurting-yourself-when-you-use-ai-to-write-your-books “Why choose” chick lit novels — the Polyamorous Passions series and Small Town Stilettos: SaganMorrow.com/books Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Tune into ALL episodes of the Author Diary Entries podcast at https://saganmorrow.com/podcast Send fan mail!

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human.  This week we learn from the feminist philosopher Donna Haraway about  thinking beyond binaries, cultivating community and taking risks. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: “Thinking requires action and passion,” says feminist philosopher and scholar, Donna Haraway in this unique conversation. In her 1985 essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” and 2003 work, “The Companion Species Manifesto”, Haraway challenged patriarchal, capitalist, binary, species-ist ways of looking at the world. It's no surprise that people are looking to her work again now. Generative thinking, she tells Laura, requires “taking the risk to try a new pattern; to invent something that may very well fall apart in your collective hands but leaves threads to be picked up again.” In this episode, Haraway and Flanders sit down for an expansive conversation about what it means to be human in an age of AI and resisting what she calls authoritarian “mono-thought.” Plus, a commentary from Laura on staying in the present and “staying with the trouble.” “An individual is embedded deeply in worlds with other people, with other organisms, with living and non-living parts of the world. To be a self is to come to a thicker appreciation and accountability for the way we're embedded in the world and act in the world. That's what I mean by being a proper self.” - Donna Haraway Guest:  Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California Santa Cruz, History of Consciousness Department; Author, A Cyborg Manifesto, When Species Meet, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

The Big Unlock · Marshall Glanzer, Chief Technology Officer, Town Square Health In this episode, Marshall Glanzer, Chief Technology Officer of Town Square Health, outlines a bold model for scaling fully capitated risk programs for Medicare recipients. Transitioning from food-delivery logistics at GrubHub, Marshall brings critical structural insights for digital health innovators seeking to scale clinical models without eroding patient trust. The core theme of the discussion centers on a counter-intuitive tech strategy: utilizing advanced digital infrastructure to intentionally deepen human relationships rather than automate them away. Town Square orchestrates unified “coordinated care visits,” bringing the patient, primary clinician, and a remote specialist into a single conversation to act as a multi-disciplinary “healthcare oracle” at the point of care. For technology vendors, Marshall defines a safe clinical AI deployment roadmap using an “augmented clinician” framework. Advanced workflows, like chat-first patient portals managed by an automated “AI judge,” rely on the licensed physician as the ultimate orchestrator. This approach elegantly bypasses commercial barriers like malpractice liability, credentialing, and fractured billing, leveraging the financial alignment of value-based care to fully absorb modern R&D costs. Take a listen.

Generative AI has been creating race-based content, and the results are...uncomfortable.Brittany's been getting served a lot of AI generated videos of older Asian men, who seem to be feng shui experts of some kind, espousing the benefits of having a “lazy wife” in your household. But it doesn't stop there. Today's guest, Bridget Todd, host of There Are No Girls on the Internet and author of the audiobook, Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy, has been ringing the alarm about AI generated videos featuring Black women. Some are AI slop, while others perpetuate harmful stereotypes about Black women -- and there's a market for it.Bridget joins the show to get into how generative AI has skewed perceptions around race, gender, and privilege online.Bridget's first audiobook, Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy, is available for pre-order now from LoveAtFirstPrompt.AI and comes out July 14th from Simon & Schuster. Support Public Media.

This training is an expansion of BRIDGE Training 5: The Advocacy Detective and examines how Generative AI can be used to move beyond surface-level searches to better understand your Member of Congress, district dynamics, committee priorities, and trusted messengers. It covers practical prompting techniques, how to spot and reduce hallucinations, and the importance of verifying outputs. It also briefly discusses how CCL approaches AI through the lens of clean, reliable energy. The throughline is that Generative AI is an additional tool option to support advocacy, but it is not a replacement for the relationships at the heart of CCL's work.

AI is everywhere in retail right now — but are you actually using it in a way that's helping your business grow, or could it quietly be working against you?This episode features a free downloadable resource. Go to http://resilientretailclub.com/ai to claim it.Hi, I'm retail strategist and founder of Resilient Retail Club, Catherine Erdly. And in this episode of the Resilient Retail Game Plan, I'm sharing the honest picture of how independent retailers are actually using generative AI in 2026.According to government data, just 16% of UK businesses are formally using AI — yet surveys suggest up to 80% of SME decision-makers have tried it in some form. The reality? Most people are using it to write emails faster, draft product descriptions, handle awkward customer messages, and generate ideas. And that's where it genuinely shines.But there are pitfalls too. I'm talking through the messy data problem that makes AI-powered sales analysis fall flat, the real concerns around AI imagery and brand trust, what I think went badly wrong with AI content (including something from my own business that I'm still mortified by), and why leaning on AI for big decisions might be giving you confidence you haven't earned.If you want to use AI smarter — and stay distinctly, unmistakably you — this episode is for you.In this episode:• How retailers are really using AI in 2026 — the stats and the reality• Product pages, agentic AI, and why clarity beats fluff• The messy data problem and what to fix first• AI customer service: the triage approach that works• AI imagery — the jury's still out, and here's why• What NOT to use AI for (including fully AI-written content)• The voice note / brain dump method that keeps your content sounding like you• The confirmation bias problem with using AI for decisionsCHAPTERS:00:01:25 How Retailers Are Using AI Right Now00:07:32 Customer Service, Data & AI Imagery00:13:43 What Not to Use AI For — and the Voice Note MethodConnect with Catherine:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherineerdly/Podcast: resilientretailclub.com/podcastMentioned in this episode:Get 50% off at FaireGo to Faire.com and enter code "Resilient50"Faire 50% off - use code 'Resilient50'Faire 50% off - use code 'Resilient50'

Relativity is a Sponsor of Litigation Radio. On this episode, we will hear from Cristin Traylor, Senior Director of AI transformation & law firm strategy at Relativity. The selection of Relativity as the subject of this interview should not be construed as an endorsement by the American Bar Association of Relativity and its services. Generative AI technology is transforming the world of legal e-discovery from start to finish, and it's advancing by the day. Guest Cristin Traylor is an attorney and the senior director of AI transformation & law firm strategy at Relativity, a leading legal data intelligence company.  Where is AI taking the legal world, and how is it changing the way legal teams sift, manage, and use the electronic data delivered during discovery? Forget boxes of legal paperwork and records. Today, AI can organize and analyze terabytes of digital information. But understanding the technology and its pitfalls—and knowing how to train an AI model—is vital to getting results that matter to uncover the story told by the data. The use of AI in the electronic discovery process and the ability to dig into digital data dumps is not something any firm can afford to put off. This is today's legal environment and the future of discovery. What are you missing? What might opposing counsel understand that you don't? If you don't employ an AI tool, should you? If you have access to AI tools, do you know how to manage them, “train” them, and write effective prompts? You most likely didn't learn this in law school. You probably don't know what you don't know. Traylor offers a fascinating glimpse into the present and future of legal generative AI technology. You probably don't know what you don't know. Also in this episode, quick tips from Lauren Williams as she discusses building a career while also taking care of your own wellbeing. Have a question, comment, or suggestion for an upcoming episode?

AI is reshaping work by expanding roles, increasing multitasking, and accelerating productivity—but companies must set healthy guardrails and rebuild entry-level pathways as AI automates traditional starter tasks. That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which describes how generative AI is reshaping work exactly as expected.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/generative-ai-is-reshaping-work-exactly-as-expected/

Award-winning novelist Missouri Williams on writing strange and ambitious fiction, treating doubt as a generative force, and why idleness is essential to creative work. We discuss How a destabilising illness and a new language can reshape a writer's whole relationship to words. Why style isn't something you construct so much as a way of seeing you're partly stuck with. The case for drafting without thinking about the end result and keeping the stakes low. What an image you can't stop returning to can reveal about the book you need to write. When idleness and empty, unproductive time become the most essential part of the work. How doubt can function as a generative engine rather than a block. A method for layering instability into a narrator who sounds completely in control. What a chorus can do on the page that a single narrator can't. Why being placed outside your depth, where everything has to be relearned, can sharpen a writer. The difference between doubting your work and doubting your right to do it at all. Resources & Links

From July 17, 2023: The only thing more impressive than the performance of generative AI systems like GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion is the sheer volume of training data that went into these systems. GPT was reportedly trained on, essentially, the entire Internet, while Stable Diffusion and other image-generation models rely on hundred of millions if not billions of existing pieces of artwork. Of course, much of this content is copyrighted, and the authors and artists whose work is being used to train these models and, potentially, threaten their own livelihoods are paying attention. A number of high-profile lawsuits are making their way through the courts, and the outcome of these cases could hugely shape, and potentially even stop, progress in machine learning.To explore these issues, Alan Rozenshtein, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and Senior Editor at Lawfare, spoke with Pam Samuelson, the Richard M. Sherman Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley and one of the pioneers in the study of digital copyright law. She's just published a new piece in the journal Science titled "Generative AI meets copyright,” in which she analyzes the current litigation around generative AI and where it might lead.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
