What is the fundamental concept behind the ROI of blogging?The Return on Investment (ROI) of blogging is viewed through three core ingredients: time, money, and energy. While many associate ROI primarily with monetary gain, the discussion emphasizes the long-term benefits and efficiency blogging can bring to a business. The idea is that a focused investment of these three resources into blogging can lead to significant and sustained positive outcomes, even if the initial outlay seems small. The goal is to maximize the impact of content creation by strategically using these ingredients, ultimately leading to increased visibility, authority, and potential for passive income.2. How can I determine if blogging is a worthwhile strategy for my business or industry?A practical method to assess the relevance of blogging for your business is to use Google search operators. By typing "blog / [your topic]" (e.g., "blog / social media tips" or "blog / how to cook chicken") into Google, you can see existing blogs that cover your intended subject matter. This directly shows you what Google recognizes as relevant content in your niche, and whether your competitors are present. If you don't see your own website or content in these results, it indicates a missed opportunity and suggests that blogging could be a beneficial strategy to gain visibility and authority in your industry. Additionally, using "site:yourdomain.com [keyword]" can reveal if your existing content is being indexed for specific keywords.3. How does updating old blog content contribute to its ROI, especially in the context of AI?Updating older blog content is crucial for maintaining and enhancing its ROI. Search engines, particularly with the rise of AI, prioritize "last mod" (last modified) dates. This means that content that has been recently updated and republished is more likely to appear in search results. By updating existing blogs, you signal to search engines that your information is fresh and relevant, increasing its visibility and authority. This practice can double the efficiency of your initial time investment, as you're leveraging existing content to continue attracting traffic and engagement, rather than starting entirely from scratch with new articles.4. Can AI tools like ChatGPT be used to effectively create blog content, and what is the recommended best practice?Yes, AI tools like ChatGPT can be effectively used for blog content creation, but the best practice is to use them as a first draft or a starting point, rather than as the sole author. While AI can generate content, it's crucial for the blogger to "humanize" it, injecting their unique voice, insights, and brand personality. One participant even mentioned using AI to write content specifically for their local business and achieving top search rankings after humanizing it. The recommendation is to use AI to get content ideas, summaries, or even initial drafts, and then to personally refine and optimize it. This ensures that the content is not only informative but also authentic and engaging for the target audience.5. How can I leverage various online platforms (search engines, social media, AI answer engines) to maximize the reach of my blog content?To maximize the reach of your blog content across various platforms, a balanced strategy is recommended:Search Engines (Traditional): Use Google and Bing for traditional search visibility.Answer Engines (Voice Search): Consider how your content would be found via voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant, which provide direct answers.AI Search Engines: Utilize platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok for AI-driven responses.By observing which brands consistently appear across all these platforms for a given topic, you can identify top authorities. Your goal is to become one such authority by consistently providing fresh, recent, and quick information. This involves writing extensive blog posts on your website (80% of your effort) and then leveraging social media (20% of your effort) to promote and build community around that content. People often discover information through search and then seek out the brand on social media, so a cohesive presence across all platforms is vital.6. What is the significance of an "author profile" in blogging for increasing online visibility and authority?An author profile attached to your blog posts significantly boosts your online visibility and authority. Most website platforms (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc.) allow you to create an author profile for your published content. This profile typically includes links to your social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, etc.), creating a comprehensive digital footprint. Search engines and AI servers actively look for authors, profiles, and associated links, which helps them understand the context and credibility of your content. By presenting your blogs under a clear author profile (either your personal name or company name), you establish yourself or your brand as a recognized expert, increasing your chances of showing up for topical searches and building trust with your audience.7. How can I transform existing content, like podcast episodes or Clubhouse replays, into effective blog posts to drive traffic?Existing audio content, such as podcast episodes or Clubhouse replays, can be efficiently repurposed into blog posts to drive traffic. The process involves:Transcribing the audio: Use tools like Notebook LM (Google) or Descript to transcribe the audio into text.Extracting key information: From the transcription, identify frequently asked questions (FAQs) and summarize the main points.Humanizing and optimizing: Take the summary and use AI tools (like ChatGPT) to refine it into a comprehensive blog post. Crucially, humanize the AI-generated text to match your brand's voice.SEO Optimization: Incorporate relevant keywords into the blog post's title, body, and URL to improve searchability.Linking: Embed the audio (podcast or replay) within the blog post and link the blog post back to your website, social media, and any other relevant platforms.This strategy maximizes content that you've already invested time and energy into, effectively "killing two birds with one stone" by reaching both audio listeners and text readers, and creating a loop of traffic between different content formats.8. What is the "crawl budget" in relation to publishing multiple blog posts per day, and how does it affect content indexing?The "crawl budget" refers to the limit on how many new or updated links Google Search Console will process from your website each day. While you can publish an unlimited number of blogs on your own website (your "house"), Google has a quota, typically allowing you to submit around 10 links per day for indexing. This means that even if you publish 20 blogs in a day, only the first 10 submitted will likely be immediately logged and processed by Google's system within a 24-hour period. Each published post is logged with a precise date and time stamp (hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds). Understanding the crawl budget is important for managing expectations regarding how quickly your new content will appear in search results and for strategically planning your publishing schedule if you aim for rapid indexing.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Read SEO Articles>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need SEO Services?

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x623! Préambule Bon… je saute à l'eau et je repars un podcast sur l'actualité en mode seul. Ce que je n'avais pas fait depuis vraiment longtemps. J'ai été excessif sur le volume de nouvelles, ne m'étant pas bien organisé. Je m'améliorerai avec la pratique… car, paraît-il, ça ne se perd pas, comme le “bécicle”. Aussi, et probablement le plus audible, j'ai eu un glitch à l'enregistrement. Comme quoi j'ai vraiment perdu la main. Pour l'aspect technique, j'ai oublié de retirer un filtre lors de l'enregistrement, ce qui fait que la bande originale est “instable”.

In questo episodio, esploriamo il libro "Irriducibile" di Federico Faggin, un pioniere dell'informatica, mentre affrontiamo il complesso tema della coscienza umana e il suo rapporto con l'intelligenza artificiale.Discutiamo domande chiave come:• Come la nostra natura cosciente influisce sulle nostre azioni?• Qual è la radice del male secondo Faggin, e come si collega alla comunicazione e all'informazione?• In che modo il concetto di entanglement quantistico riflette la nostra interconnessione?Rifletto su come ogni nostro gesto possa essere visto come un atto di auto-rivelazione dell'universo. Ciò che facciamo quotidianamente non è solo un'azione, ma una co-creazione della realtà che abitiamo.Ti invito ad ascoltare e a condividere le tue idee su questo affascinante tema.00:00:00 Eccoci qua carissimi amici di La Mia Vita Spaziale, oggi finalmente commentando il libro Irriducibile.00:01:00 Noi facciamo come le seity per la semplice ragione che siamo seity.00:03:00 Il male emerge qui non come forza metafisica, ma come tragico fraintendimento ontologico.00:07:00 Il Tao Te Ching inizia con questo verso: 'Il tao che può essere detto / non è l'eterno Tao.'00:11:00 Faggin svela qui l'illusione di un'informazione autosufficiente.00:15:00 L'entanglement diventa qui metafora cosmica dell'interconnessione fondamentale.

Pixel 10 y másGoogle presenta Pixel 10, Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Buds 2a y Gemini AI con funciones para fotos, salud y hogar conectado  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo   Google mostró en Nueva York su nueva familia Pixel 10: cuatro modelos de teléfono, un reloj más potente, audífonos con cancelación de ruido y accesorios magnéticos. La estrella fue Gemini, la inteligencia artificial que ahora corrige tus fotos en tiempo real, te sugiere ángulos, edita con solo pedirlo y hasta diseña tu sala viendo la cámara de tu móvil. También se presentó un Pixel plegable con resistencia al polvo y agua, además de la app Pixel Journal para guardar recuerdos. Y la novedad: por primera vez los Pixel llegan oficialmente a México.  Google convirtió su evento Made by Google 2025 en un show tecnológico que mezcló humor, cultura pop y demostraciones de inteligencia artificial. Jimmy Fallon condujo desde Brooklyn y en el escenario se vieron los Pixel 10, el Pixel Watch 4, los nuevos Pixel Buds y la llegada de Gemini a todos los dispositivos de la marca. La apuesta es clara: teléfonos con cámara guiada por IA, relojes con funciones de salud potenciadas, audífonos que responden a gestos y un hogar inteligente controlado con Gemini. La pregunta es: ¿estamos listos para convivir con tanta inteligencia artificial en cada rincón de la vida cotidiana?  ¿Y si tanta inteligencia artificial termina volviéndose demasiado invasiva?  La serie Pixel 10 llegó con cuatro modelos: el Pixel 10 base, el 10 Pro, el 10 Pro XL y el 10 Pro Fold. Todos llevan el nuevo chip Tensor G5, fabricado por TSMC, que promete más rapidez y eficiencia en tareas de inteligencia artificial. El Pixel 10 ahora incluye lente telefoto, algo que antes estaba reservado a los modelos Pro. Los Pro incorporan un zoom digital de hasta 100 aumentos, llamado Pro Res Zoom, que usa IA para que la foto no quede borrosa. Y el modelo Fold se estrenó con bisagra más resistente y certificación IP68, lo que lo hace resistente al polvo y al agua, algo inédito en un plegable.  La fiebre de la inteligencia artificial está en cada anuncio. Gemini Live puede mirar a través de tu cámara y decirte cómo decorar tu sala, qué ángulo usar para tu foto o cómo editarla sin programas. También llega a los relojes y audífonos, y se mete en la casa con Gemini for Home, el asistente que reemplaza a Google Assistant. La duda es si tanta presencia de IA no nos hará depender demasiado de la máquina para decisiones pequeñas. Desde encender luces hasta contestar llamadas con un gesto de cabeza, cada vez hay menos espacio para actuar sin ayuda digital. ¿Estamos dejando que la tecnología decida por nosotros?  Google defiende que Gemini no es un reemplazo de la creatividad, sino un apoyo. Por eso, además de las funciones automáticas, ofrece herramientas como Pixel Journal, una app para escribir, añadir fotos y guardar recuerdos con ayuda de IA. En el terreno de la salud, Fitbit integró un entrenador personal digital que diseña rutinas de ejercicio y mejora la calidad del sueño. Y en el hogar, Gemini promete simplificar tareas combinadas: bajar la luz, ajustar la temperatura y poner música en un solo comando. Todo esto con la promesa de siete años de actualizaciones, lo que garantiza que los Pixel no queden obsoletos pronto.  El Pixel Watch 4 sorprendió con un diseño más brillante y hasta 40 horas de batería, además de funciones de emergencia con conexión satelital. Los Pixel Buds 2a, por su parte, suman cancelación activa de ruido, colores divertidos y un precio más accesible de 129 dólares. También hay accesorios magnéticos bajo el nombre de Pixelsnap, con cargadores y fundas que recuerdan a MagSafe de Apple. En cuanto a precios: el Pixel 10 arranca en 799 dólares, el Pixel 10 Pro en 999, el Pro XL en 1.199 y el Pro Fold en 1.799. Y por primera vez, toda la familia Pixel estará disponible oficialmente en México, aunque no todos los modelos llegarán con las mismas  El evento Made by Google 2025 dejó claro que la apuesta es una: inteligencia artificial en cada dispositivo Pixel. Desde fotos y salud, hasta el hogar conectado. ¿Qué opinas, es útil o demasiado? Cuéntamelo en los comentarios y recuerda seguir el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify para no perderte lo nuevo en tecnología.  Google lanzó Pixel 10, Pixel Watch 4 y más con Gemini AI: fotos mejoradas, salud inteligente y hogar conectado al instante.

If you've ever had a “conversation” with Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa, you may well have been using a domotics system, without necessarily knowing what that means. The term refers to the use of robotic technology and electronic systems for controlling home appliances and devices. It's also known as home automation, or simply a “smart home”. And indeed the use of smart home devices has really taken off in the last decade or so. Devices like smart thermostats, security systems, intelligent lights and smart appliances have become more and more common. According to data shared by Finbold in 2021, 24.9% of internet users in the UK said they owned smart home devices. That figure was almost double the global average. Where did domotics come from? What are the main benefits? Are domotics systems expensive? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

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: Hello and 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: Hi everyone! Last week, we went through the basics of artificial intelligence. If you missed it, I really recommend listening to that episode before you start this one. Today, we're going to explore some foundational AI concepts, starting with machine learning. After that, we'll discuss the two main machine learning models: supervised learning and unsupervised learning. And we'll close with deep learning. Lois: Himanshu Raj, our Principal AI/ML Instructor, joins us for today's episode. Hi Himanshu! Let's dive right in. What is machine learning?  01:12 Himanshu: Machine learning lets computers learn from examples to make decisions or predictions without being told exactly what to do. They help computers learn from past data and examples so they can spot patterns and make smart decisions just like humans do, but faster and at scale.  01:31 Nikita: Can you give us a simple analogy so we can understand this better? Himanshu: When you train a dog to sit or fetch, you don't explain the logic behind the command. Instead, you give this dog examples and reinforce correct behavior with rewards, which could be a treat, a pat, or a praise. Over time, the dog learns to associate the command with the action and reward. Machine learning learns in a similar way, but with data instead of dog treats. We feed a mathematical system called models with multiple examples of input and the desired output, and it learns the pattern. It's trial and error, learning from the experience.  Here is another example. Recognizing faces. Humans are incredibly good at this, even as babies. We don't need someone to explain every detail of the face. We just see many faces over time and learn the patterns. Machine learning models can be trained the same way. We showed them thousands or millions of face images, each labeled, and they start to detect patterns like eyes, nose, mouth, spacing, different angles. So eventually, they can recognize faces they have seen before or even match new ones that are similar. So machine learning doesn't have any rules, it's just learning from examples. This is the kind of learning behind things like face ID on your smartphone, security systems that recognizes employees, or even Facebook tagging people in your photos. 03:05 Lois: So, what you're saying is, in machine learning, instead of telling the computer exactly what to do in every situation, you feed the model with data and give it examples of inputs and the correct outputs. Over time, the model figures out patterns and relationships within the data on its own, and it can make the smart guess when it sees something new. I got it! Now let's move on to how machine learning actually works? Can you take us through the process step by step? Himanshu: Machine learning actually happens in three steps. First, we have the input, which is the training data. Think of this as showing the model a series of examples. It could be images of historical sales data or customer complaints, whatever we want the machine to learn from. Next comes the pattern finding. This is the brain of the system where the model starts spotting relationships in the data. It figures out things like customer who churn or leave usually contacts support twice in the same month. It's not given rules, it just learns patterns based on the example. And finally, we have output, which is the prediction or decision. This is the result of all this learning. Once trained, the computer or model can say this customer is likely to churn or leave. It's like having a smart assistant that makes fast, data-driven guesses without needing step by step instruction. 04:36 Nikita: What are the main elements in machine learning? Himanshu: In machine learning, we work with two main elements, features and labels. You can think of features as the clues we provide to the model, pieces of information like age, income, or product type. And the label is the solution we want the model to predict, like whether a customer will buy or not.  04:55 Nikita: Ok, I think we need an example here. Let's go with the one you mentioned earlier about customers who churn. Himanshu: Imagine we have a table with data like customer age, number of visits, whether they churned or not. And each of these rows is one example. The features are age and visit count. The label is whether the customer churned, that is yes or no. Over the time, the model might learn patterns like customer under 30 who visit only once are more likely to leave. Or frequent visitors above age 45 rarely churn. If features are the clues, then the label is the solution, and the model is the brain of the system. It's what's the machine learning builds after learning from many examples, just like we do. And again, the better the features are, the better the learning. ML is just looking for patterns in the data we give it. 05:51 Lois: Ok, we're with you so far. Let's talk about the different types of machine learning. What is supervised learning? Himanshu: Supervised learning is a type of machine learning where the model learns from the input data and the correct answers. Once trained, the model can use what it learned to predict the correct answer for new, unseen inputs. Think of it like a student learning from a teacher. The teacher shows labeled examples like an apple and says, "this is an apple." The student receives feedback whether their guess was right or wrong. Over time, the student learns to recognize new apples on their own. And that's exactly how supervised learning works. It's learning from feedback using labeled data and then make predictions. 06:38 Nikita: Ok, so supervised learning means we train the model using labeled data. We already know the right answers, and we're essentially teaching the model to connect the dots between the inputs and the expected outputs. Now, can you give us a few real-world examples of supervised learning? Himanshu: First, house price prediction. In this case, we give the model features like a square footage, location, and number of bedrooms, and the label is the actual house price. Over time, it learns how to predict prices for new homes. The second one is email: spam or not. In this case, features might include words in the subject line, sender, or links in the email. The label is whether the email is spam or not. The model learns patterns to help us filter our inbox, as you would have seen in your Gmail inboxes. The third one is cat versus dog classification. Here, the features are the pixels in an image, and the label tells us whether it's a cat or a dog. After seeing many examples, the model learns to tell the difference on its own. Let's now focus on one very common form of supervised learning, that is regression. Regression is used when we want to predict a numerical value, not a category. In simple terms, it helps answer questions like, how much will it be? Or what will be the value be? For example, predicting the price of a house based on its size, location, and number of rooms. Or estimating next quarter's revenue based on marketing spend.  08:18 Lois: Are there any other types of supervised learning? Himanshu: While regression is about predicting a number, classification is about predicting a category or type. You can think of it as the model answering is this yes or no, or which group does this belong to.  Classification is used when the goal is to predict a category or a class. Here, the model learns patterns from historical data where both the input variables, known as features, and the correct categories, called labels, are already known.  08:53 Ready to level-up your cloud skills?

So that was supervised machine learning. What about unsupervised machine learning, Himanshu? Himanshu: Unlike supervised learning, here, the model is not given any labels or correct answers. It just handed the raw input data and left to make sense of it on its own.  The model explores the data and discovers hidden patterns, groupings, or structures on its own, without being explicitly told what to look for. And it's more like a student learning from observations and making their own inferences. 09:55 Lois: Where is unsupervised machine learning used? Can you take us through some of the use cases? Himanshu: The first one is product recommendation. Customers are grouped based on shared behavior even without knowing their intent. This helps show what the other users like you also prefer. Second one is anomaly detection. Unusual patterns, such as fraud, network breaches, or manufacturing defects, can stand out, all without needing thousands of labeled examples. And third one is customer segmentation. Customers can be grouped by purchase history or behavior to tailor experiences, pricing, or marketing campaigns. 10:32 Lois: And finally, we come to deep learning. What is deep learning, Himanshu? Himanshu: Humans learn from experience by seeing patterns repeatedly. Brain learns to recognize an image by seeing it many times. The human brain contains billions of neurons. Each neuron is connected to others through synapses. Neurons communicate by passing signals. The brain adjusts connections based on repeated stimuli. Deep learning was inspired by how the brain works using artificial neurons and connections. Just like our brains need a lot of examples to learn, so do the deep learning models. The more the layers and connections are, the more complex patterns it can learn. The brain is not hard-coded. It learns from patterns. Deep learning follows the same idea. Metaphorically speaking, a deep learning model can have over a billion neurons, more than a cat's brain, which have around 250 million neurons. Here, the neurons are mathematical units, often called nodes, or simply as units. Layers of these units are connected, mimicking how biological neurons interact. So deep learning is a type of machine learning where the computer learns to understand complex patterns. What makes it special is that it uses neural networks with many layers, which is why we call it deep learning. 11:56 Lois: And how does deep learning work? Himanshu: Deep learning is all about finding high-level meaning from low-level data layer by layer, much like how our brains process what we see and hear. A neural network is a system of connected artificial neurons, or nodes, that work together to learn patterns and make decisions.  12:15 Nikita: I know there are different types of neural networks, with ANNs or Artificial Neural Networks being the one for general learning. How is it structured? Himanshu: There is an input layer, which is the raw data, which could be an image, sentence, numbers, a hidden layer where the patterns are detected or the features are learned, and the output layer where the final decision is made. For example, given an image, is this a dog? A neural network is like a team of virtual decision makers, called artificial neurons, or nodes, working together, which takes input data, like a photo, and passes it through layers of neurons. And each neuron makes a small judgment and passes its result to the next layer.  This process happens across multiple layers, learning more and more complex patterns as it goes, and the final layer gives the output. Imagine a factory assembly line where each station, or the layer, refines the input a bit more. By the end, you have turned raw parts into something meaningful. And this is a very simple analogy. This structure forms the foundations of many deep learning models.  More advanced architectures, like convolutional neural networks, CNNs, for images, or recurrent neural networks, RNN, for sequences built upon this basic idea. So, what I meant is that the ANN is the base structure, like LEGO bricks. CNNs and RNNs use those same bricks, but arrange them in a way that are better suited for images, videos, or sequences like text or speech.  13:52 Nikita: So, why do we call it deep learning? Himanshu: The word deep in deep learning does not refer to how profound or intelligent the model is. It actually refers to the number of layers in the neural network. It starts with an input layer, followed by hidden layers, and ends with an output layer. The layers are called hidden, in the sense that these are black boxes and their data is not visible or directly interpretable to the user. Models which has only one hidden layer is called shallow learning. As data moves, each layer builds on what the previous layer has learned. So layer one might detect a very basic feature, like edges or colors in an image. Layer two can take those edges and starts forming shapes, like curves or lines. And layer three use those shapes to identify complete objects, like a face, a car, or a person. This hierarchical learning is what makes deep learning so powerful. It allows the model to learn abstract patterns and generalize across complex data, whether it's visual, audio, or even language. And that's the essence of deep learning. It's not just about layers. It's about how each layer refines the information and one step closer to understanding. 15:12 Nikita: Himanshu, where does deep learning show up in our everyday lives? Himanshu: Deep learning is not just about futuristic robots, it's already powering the tools we use today. So think of when you interact with a virtual assistant on a website. Whether you are booking a hotel, resolving a banking issue, or asking customer support questions, behind the scenes, deep learning models understand your text, interpret your intent, and respond intelligently. There are many real-life examples, for example, ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, any airline website's chatbots, bank's virtual agent. The next one is speech-to-text systems. Example, if you have ever used voice typing on your phone, dictated a message to Siri, or used Zoom's live captions, you have seen this in action already. The system listens to your voice and instantly converts it into a text. And this saves time, enhances accessibility, and helps automate tasks, like meeting transcriptions. Again, you would have seen real-life examples, such as Siri, Google Assistant, autocaptioning on Zoom, or YouTube Live subtitles. And lastly, image recognition. For example, hospitals today use AI to detect early signs of cancer in x-rays and CT scans that might be missed by the human eye. Deep learning models can analyze visual patterns, like a suspicious spot on a lung's X-ray, and flag abnormalities faster and more consistently than humans. Self-driving cars recognize stop signs, pedestrians, and other vehicles using the same technology. So, for example, cancer detection in medical imaging, Tesla's self-driving navigation, security system synchronizes face are very prominent examples of image recognition. 17:01 Lois: Deep learning is one of the most powerful tools we have today to solve complex problems. But like any tool, I'm sure it has its own set of pros and cons. What are its advantages, Himanshu? Himanshu: It is high accuracy. When trained with enough data, deep learning models can outperform humans. For example, again, spotting early signs of cancer in X-rays with higher accuracy. Second is handling of unstructured data. Deep learning shines when working with messy real-world data, like images, text, and voice. And it's why your phone can recognize your face or transcribe your speech into text. The third one is automatic pattern learning. Unlike traditional models that need hand-coded features, deep learning models figure out important patterns by themselves, making them extremely flexible. And the fourth one is scalability. Once trained, deep learning systems can scale easily, serving millions of customers, like Netflix recommending movies personalized to each one of us. 18:03 Lois: And what about its challenges? Himanshu: The first one is data and resource intensive. So deep learning demands huge amount of labeled data and powerful computing hardware, which means high cost, especially during training. The second thing is lacks explainability. These models often act like a black box. We know the output, but it's hard to explain exactly how the model reached that decision. This becomes a problem in areas like health care and finance where transparency is critical. The third challenge is vulnerability to bias. If the data contains biases, like favoring certain groups, the model will learn and amplify those biases unless we manage them carefully. The fourth and last challenge is it's harder to debug and maintain. Unlike a traditional software program, it's tough to manually correct a deep learning model if it starts behaving unpredictably. It requires retraining with new data. So deep learning offers powerful opportunities to solve complex problems using data, but it also brings challenges that require careful strategy, resources, and responsible use. 19:13 Nikita: We're taking away a lot from this conversation. Thank you so much for your insights, Himanshu.  Lois: If you're interested to learn more, make sure you log into mylearn.oracle.com and look for the AI for You course.

Comment fonctionne la reconnaissance vocale ? Et comment une machine parvient-elle à nous parler avec une voix naturelle ? Dans cet épisode Tout comprendre, je vous propose une plongée dans les coulisses de deux technologies devenues omniprésentes : la reconnaissance vocale et la synthèse vocale.Rediffusion du 20 août 2022

La realtà che osserviamo è già scritta nel cosmo, o la creiamo noi con ogni sguardo? In questo straordinario episodio de "La mia vita spaziale" esploriamo le tesi rivoluzionarie di Federico Faggin nel suo libro "Irriducibile", un'opera che sta scuotendo le fondamenta del pensiero scientifico contemporaneo.Chi è Federico Faggin? Non solo l'inventore del microprocessore e pioniere della Silicon Valley, ma un pensatore che ha osato sfidare il riduzionismo dominante. Dopo aver contribuito a creare il mondo digitale, Faggin ora ci costringe a ripensare il rapporto tra coscienza e realtà.In questo episodio scoprirai:• Perché la fisica quantistica suggerisce che "la misurazione non rivela ma letteralmente partorisce la realtà"• Come la famosa citazione di Mozart "la musica non è nelle note, ma tra le note" illumina il mistero della coscienza• Perché Einstein sosteneva che descrivere una sinfonia di Beethoven come "variazioni di pressione delle onde" non avrebbe senso• La rivoluzione copernicana al contrario: non è la coscienza che ruota attorno alla materia, ma la materia che emerge dalla coscienzaLa mia riflessione: "Questo libro mi ha costretto a riconsiderare profondamente il rapporto tra tecnologia e umanità. La visione di Faggin è tanto più potente perché viene da chi ha contribuito a creare il mondo digitale che oggi mette in discussione."Cosa rende davvero "irriducibile" l'esperienza umana nell'era dell'intelligenza artificiale?

Stai ancora usando l'intelligenza artificiale come se fosse un word processor del 1995? È tempo di cambiare approccio radicalmente. In questo episodio de "La mia vita spaziale" scoprirai come trasformare i tuoi prompt da semplici comandi a sistemi intelligenti che evolvono, apprendono e ti sorprendono ogni volta che li usi.Non parliamo di teoria futuristica, ma di una metodologia concreta che puoi implementare subito per rivoluzionare il tuo rapporto con l'AI e moltiplicare la qualità dei risultati che ottieni nel tuo lavoro quotidiano.Il problema che risolveremo: la maggior parte dei professionisti utilizza l'AI come "una macchina che esegue comandi" invece di sfruttarne il vero potenziale evolutivo. Continuiamo a pensare in termini industriali quando dovremmo pensare in termini organici.Strategie e strumenti che scoprirai:• Come creare template di prompt auto-adattanti usando Notion AI• La metodologia dei "tre livelli" per trasformare richieste generiche in dialoghi intelligenti• Sistemi di memoria distribuita che migliorano ogni interazione• L'approccio dell'"inefficienza creativa" per risultati inaspettatiCasi d'uso concreti per:• Professionisti della comunicazione: prompt che evolvono in base al pubblico target• Consulenti e manager: sistemi di analisi che si affinano con ogni progetto• Creativi e marketer: template che generano variazioni sempre più sofisticate• Formatori ed educatori: prompt che si adattano al livello di comprensioneCome sottolineo nell'episodio: "Un template che produce sempre lo stesso risultato ottimale è morto. L'intelligenza che non ci stupisce non è davvero intelligenza, è solo automazione travestita da innovazione."Scoprirai la differenza fondamentale tra pensare l'AI come "strumento da comandare" versus "partner intellettuale con cui co-creare". Questo cambio di paradigma antropologico - da padroni di strumenti a partner di intelligenze - sta trasformando il modo stesso di concepire il lavoro intellettuale.Demonstration pratica: vedrai in azione il sistema che uso quotidianamente con Notion AI per trasformare una semplice richiesta di viaggio in un prompt strutturato che genera domande di approfondimento, suggerisce variazioni e produce risultati sempre più raffinati.La sfida non è imparare a dare comandi migliori all'AI, ma imparare a sostenere conversazioni più ricche che evolvono nel tempo. Non si tratta di efficienza, ma di evoluzione. Non di controllo, ma di co-creazione.Quale sarà il primo prompt evolutivo che creerai dopo questo episodio?Timestamp principali:00:00 Il paradosso dei prompt generici: perché meno variamo, meno l'AI è generativa05:15 Decostruire la mentalità industriale nell'uso dell'intelligenza artificiale12:30 La dimostrazione pratica: da richiesta banale a sistema intelligente con Notion AI18:45 Le tre implicazioni rivoluzionarie: best practice obsolete, database viventi, lavoro conversazionale25:10 I tre consigli operativi: progettare per evoluzione, abbracciare l'inefficienza creativa, costruire memoria distribuita

La mente umana è solo un sofisticato algoritmo? Può un computer diventare veramente cosciente? In questo episodio de "La mia vita spaziale" esploriamo le tesi rivoluzionarie di Federico Faggin nel suo libro "Irriducibile", dove il pioniere dell'informatica e inventore del microprocessore svela perché la coscienza non può essere ridotta a puri meccanismi computazionali.Chi è Federico FagginFederico Faggin non è solo l'inventore del microprocessore e pioniere della Silicon Valley: è un pensatore che ha osato sfidare il riduzionismo dominante nella scienza contemporanea. Dal mondo dei chip al mistero della coscienza, il suo percorso intellettuale ci offre una prospettiva unica sul rapporto tra tecnologia e natura umana.Cosa scoprirai in questo episodio• Il mistero dei significati: Perché solo la coscienza può cogliere i significati, mentre i computer elaborano semplicemente simboli vuoti• L'universo come linguaggio vivente: Come la realtà fisica sia una gigantesca biblioteca di informazioni che attende di essere letta da coscienze capaci di decifrarne il senso• La critica al determinismo: Perché le leggi della fisica sono come regole grammaticali - necessarie ma impotenti nel predire la vera creatività• L'illusione dell'IA creativa: Come quello che scambiamo per genio della macchina è solo la proiezione della nostra creatività umana codificata in algoritmiCome dice Faggin: "Noi comprendiamo anche frasi formulate male, perché il significato per noi viene per primo". Questa osservazione apparentemente semplice nasconde una rivoluzione epistemologica che ribalta millenni di pensiero materialista.La riflessione del conduttore"Questo libro mi ha costretto a ripensare radicalmente il rapporto tra tecnologia e umanità. La visione di Faggin è tanto più potente perché viene da chi ha contribuito a creare il mondo digitale che oggi mette in discussione. La sua inversione ontologica - 'prima dei simboli c'è il significato' - ci invita a considerare la coscienza non come prodotto della materia, ma come principio creativo primordiale."Ti sei mai chiesto se ci sia qualcosa di irriducibilmente umano che nessuna tecnologia potrà mai replicare?

Stai usando l'intelligenza artificiale come un semplice scanner di documenti? È tempo di scoprire il vero potenziale nascosto dell'AI per trasformare radicalmente il tuo modo di lavorare e prendere decisioni strategiche.In questo episodio de "La mia vita spaziale" rivelo l'errore che il 99% dei professionisti commette quotidianamente con l'AI: l'approccio sequenziale che limita drasticamente le capacità di analisi e scoperta. Scoprirai come passare da un'intelligenza artificiale che conferma a una che rivela connessioni nascoste e insight rivoluzionari.Strategie concrete che scoprirai:• L'approccio multisource: come analizzare simultaneamente report finanziari, feedback clienti e trend di mercato per rivelare correlazioni invisibili• Il metodo delle interferenze: la tecnica fisica applicata all'AI per generare pattern completamente nuovi dai tuoi dati• Notebook LM mastery: creare ecosistemi di documenti per scoperte che nessun singolo file potrebbe rivelare• Prompt engineering avanzato: le domande che trasformano l'AI da strumento di conferma a partner di scoperta• Iterazione esplorativa: come usare le intuizioni dell'AI per guidare l'analisi successivaSettori e applicazioni pratiche:• Retail e commercio: correlazioni tra cali di fatturato e feedback clienti per decisioni immediate• Consulenza strategica: analisi multidimensionale per presentazioni che stupiscono i clienti• Marketing e comunicazione: insight trasversali per campagne più efficaci• Gestione aziendale: connessioni tra dati quantitativi e percezioni qualitative"La vera rivoluzione dell'intelligenza artificiale non è farci lavorare più velocemente, è farci lavorare in modo più connesso. L'intelligenza emerge dall'interferenza, non dalla frammentazione."Questa nuova mentalità ti permetterà di trasformare l'AI da semplice assistente a vero partner strategico. Non cercare più conferme: inizia a scoprire quello che non sapevi di non sapere.La sfida che ti lancio: per una settimana, non caricare mai un singolo documento sull'AI. Trova sempre almeno due prospettive diverse e osserva come cambia il tuo modo di pensare quando smetti di cercare conferme.Timestamp principali:00:00 L'errore che limita l'AI: l'approccio sequenziale02:45 Perché l'intelligenza emerge dall'interferenza05:15 Esempi pratici con Notebook LM e Claude07:30 Dal pensiero industriale all'intelligenza relazionale09:30 I tre principi per un uso rivoluzionario dell'AI12:00 Gestire contraddizioni e incompletezza come opportunità14:30 La sfida pratica: mai più un documento alla volta

Stai vivendo in un film già girato credendo di essere il regista, o sei davvero il co-creatore attivo della tua realtà? In questo episodio de "La mia vita spaziale" esploro una delle questioni più profonde dell'esistenza umana attraverso il pensiero rivoluzionario di Federico Fagini e il suo libro "Irriducibile".Non è filosofia astratta: è una riflessione che può trasformare completamente il modo in cui percepisci il tuo ruolo nel mondo, il valore delle tue decisioni e il significato della tua esistenza professionale e personale.La grande sfida al determinismo scientificoMolti scienziati oggi sostengono che il tempo sia un'illusione, che tutto sia già scritto nelle leggi della natura. Ma se fosse così, cosa rimarrebbe della nostra esperienza di libertà? Come possiamo conciliare la fisica moderna con la nostra innegabile capacità di creare significato?Perché la tua coscienza è irriducibileFagini propone una visione rivoluzionaria: non siamo spettatori passivi di un universo meccanico, ma co-creatori attivi di una realtà in continua espansione. La coscienza non è un sottoprodotto della materia, ma il motore stesso dell'evoluzione cosmica."La coscienza ha senso solo se appartiene a osservatori che desiderano aumentare la loro conoscenza" - una frase che ribalta completamente la visione materialista del mondo.Cosa significa per la tua vita quotidianaQuesta prospettiva trasforma ogni nostro pensiero, emozione e decisione in un atto cosmico di creatività. Non sei un ingranaggio in una macchina deterministica, ma uno strumento raffinato attraverso cui l'universo esplora le sue infinite possibilità.L'intelligenza artificiale e il problema del significatoAnalizzo anche perché i grandi modelli linguistici come GPT, per quanto sofisticati, non potranno mai essere davvero coscienti: "Il significato non nasce da una probabilità statistica, ma nasce dall'ordine dei significati" - una distinzione fondamentale che separa l'intelligenza umana da quella artificiale.Una visione dell'esistenza che ispiraL'universo, secondo questa prospettiva, è "un progetto collaborativo di autoscoperta infinita" dove ogni essere cosciente contribuisce attivamente alla creazione della realtà. È una visione che restituisce dignità e scopo all'esistenza umana in un'epoca dominata dal riduzionismo scientifico.00:00 Introduzione: il tempo come illusione02:30 La critica all'eternalismo e al block universe06:45 Perché la coscienza individuale è irriducibile12:15 Il confronto con l'idealismo hegeliano18:20 Organismi viventi come veicoli di scoperta25:40 La differenza tra informazione quantitativa e qualitativa32:10 Perché l'AI non può essere davvero cosciente38:50 Ogni coscienza come co-creatrice della realtàTi invito a riflettere: se ogni tua decisione è un atto di creatività cosmica, come cambia il modo in cui affronti le sfide quotidiane?

On this week's show we take a look at some of the most popular products in our homes. And we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: iOS 26 Brings Video Streaming to CarPlay, But There's a Catch Don't Expect Netflix to Save U.S. Broadcast Networks HDMI Forum To Reveal New HDMI 2.2 Details At Press Briefing Other: Blockbuster Be Kind Rewind T-shirt - Blue Most Popular HDTV and Home Theater and Automation Products On this week's show we take a look at some of the most popular products in our homes. Most Popular Devices What is the most popular TV size in the USA The most popular TV size in the USA is currently around 65 inches, with recent trends showing it overtaking the previously dominant 55-inch size. Data from 2021 indicates the average LCD TV screen size in North America reached approximately 55.5 inches, with expectations of further increases as larger TVs become more affordable and accessible. Consumer purchasing trends and retailer insights suggest 65-inch TVs are now the most commonly bought due to their balance of immersive viewing and suitability for typical living room spaces, with viewing distances of around 5.4 to 8.1 feet for 4K resolution. What is the most popular TV brand in the USA Samsung is the most popular TV brand in the USA, holding a market share of around 28-30% based on 2020-2023 data. It has been the top-selling brand for 18 consecutive years, with 30.1% of the market in 2023, driven by brand recognition, diverse price points, and dominance in both standard and premium TV segments, including a 22% share in OLED TVs. LG follows closely, with the two Korean brands combining for about 52% of the market. Vizio, TCL, and Sony also rank highly, with Sony noted for strong consumer trust and picture quality. What is the most popular home cinema projector in the USA The most popular home cinema projector in the USA in 2025, based on expert reviews and consumer interest, is the Epson Home Cinema 3800. It's widely praised for its excellent balance of image quality, brightness, and value, making it a top choice for home theater enthusiasts. With strong contrast, vibrant colors, and the ability to project a sharp 4K image, it performs well in both dark and moderately lit rooms. Its affordability compared to high-end models like the Epson Home Cinema 5050UB, combined with features like two HDMI ports and easy setup, contributes to its popularity. What is the most popular AVR The most popular AV receiver brand in the USA is Denon, with models like the Denon AVR-X3800H and Denon AVR-X4800H frequently cited as top performers in 2024-2025 reviews. Denon's popularity stems from its optimal price-to-quality ratio, reliable performance, and advanced features like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and 8K HDMI support. Market data is scarce, but Denon's dominance is evident in consumer reviews, sales rankings on sites like Best Buy, and industry reports, with Marantz (its sister brand) and Yamaha as close competitors. Denon's models are praised for versatility, supporting setups with more than three speakers (e.g., 9.4 or 7.2.2 configurations), aligning with the 10-15% of households estimated to have such systems. What is the most popular voice assistant product in the USA Amazon's Alexa is the most popular voice assistant product in the USA, primarily due to its widespread integration into Amazon Echo devices and its compatibility with over 60,000 smart home devices. In 2025, Alexa has an estimated 77.6 million users in the US, trailing Google Assistant (92.4 million) and Apple's Siri (87.0 million) in total users but leading in smart home ecosystem adoption and versatility. Its popularity is driven by features like hands-free control, extensive third-party app integration, and the ability to perform tasks such as controlling smart home devices, streaming music, and shopping online. The Amazon Echo (4th Gen) is particularly noted for its sound quality and built-in Zigbee radio, enhancing its smart home capabilities. What is the most popular video doorbell in the USA While exact sales data is unavailable, the Ring Battery Doorbell and Ring Video Doorbell (2nd generation) are likely the most popular video doorbells in the USA in 2025.  What is the most popular smart switch in the USA The Lutron Caséta is the most popular for its balance of advanced features, no-neutral-wire flexibility, and rock-solid performance across smart home platforms. Its hub requirement adds cost (around $60-$100 per switch plus $80-$100 for the hub), but users value its dependability and customization options. If you're on a budget or prefer Wi-Fi-based switches, the TP-Link Kasa models are nearly as popular due to their lower price (around $20-$40) and hub-free setup. What is the most popular smart plug in the USA TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Slim (EP25) frequently comes up as a top contender for indoor use due to its affordability, feature set, and wide compatibility.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comHello. Just wanted to let you know about my new 8 minute piece in 10 movements, Woods. A few weeks ago I released a similar instrumental work entitled Coots, mentioning it was the first in a series released under the pseudonym “Crou”. It immediately felt like a mistake. Not the music. (For someone who has never felt particularly self-confident as a musician, that was not the problem. I felt good about the music.) The problem was there was another artist going by Crou already, and though I professed the ambiguity of pronunciation appealed to me, I soon reasoned how it would not appeal to the likes of Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant in voice commands. Abort, abort, I thought on release day. So goodby Crou, we hardly knew ya. Hello Sleeping Animal. I like the new name. It's been switched for the Coots release for over a week now, and it's felt steady as she goes. It is one of ten releases I've served up to my distributor with release dates fanning out to September, so the name is pretty much set now. There's plenty more Sleeping Animal to come!Why Sleeping Animal? To me, the name has a warm, tender, and vulnerable connotation. It also doesn't hurt that, as an artist who has to devoted himself to environmental and wildlife recording for the past five years, the name functionally alludes to not containing wildlife sounds. That appeals to me.Starting from square one is always a hand-wringing affair, so if you enjoy it, do me a favor and tell one person about it. In an implacable algorithmic world, word-of-mouth is real.Woods follows in the footsteps of Coots. Not having an environmental sound bed opens up space for a sonic nuance that I've been enjoying experimenting with.And spoiler alert: The die is cast on monochrome cover art. I have another fun project to announce shortly that this aesthetic plays a big role in. Anyway, I'd be delighted if you gave Woods a listen. The sophomore release Woods by Sleeping Animal is available on all music streaming sites (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Tidal, Qobuz etc.) today, Friday, March 28th.

Forecast: Cloudy with a chance of SSRF attacks. OpenAI's skies clear, but third-party wrappers bring storms. ‍ This week's episode kicks off with a poll asking listeners which virtual assistant they use—Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, or none at all due to privacy concerns. The results give us a snapshot of how people feel about these ubiquitous technologies and their trust levels in them. We then tackle the headlines surrounding OpenAI and the alleged "attack" on its systems. While media outlets are buzzing with claims of vulnerabilities in ChatGPT, the reality is less dramatic. A third-party wrapper using OpenAI's API introduced an SSRF vulnerability that's being actively exploited. This issue highlights the risks of insecure third-party implementations rather than flaws in OpenAI's core infrastructure. It's a reminder that integrations can be a weak link in the cybersecurity chain, and we explore how this misunderstanding has fueled sensationalized reporting. Next up is a discussion on cybersecurity labeling for consumer IoT devices that have reached their End-of-Life (EOL) or End-of-Service (EOS). The idea is to inform users when their devices will no longer receive updates, but the execution is fraught with challenges. From complex software stacks to secondary markets breaking communication chains between vendors and consumers, we unpack why this labeling initiative is easier said than done. With home networks increasingly tied to employer networks, outdated IoT devices could become major security risks, especially in remote work setups. Privacy concerns take center stage as we examine Amazon's controversial decision to eliminate the "Do Not Send Voice Recordings" feature on Echo devices starting March 28, 2025. This change means all voice data will be processed in Amazon's cloud as part of its Alexa+ upgrade, which promises advanced generative AI capabilities. Critics argue this move erodes user privacy by removing local processing options entirely, raising questions about data retention and misuse. For privacy-conscious users, this might signal the end of their relationship with Echo devices. We also cover two critical vulnerabilities making waves in the cybersecurity world. First is CVE-2025-23120, a post-authentication Remote Code Execution flaw in Veeam Backup & Replication software. Exploitable by any domain user due to weak authentication measures and unsafe deserialization practices, this vulnerability underscores why blacklist-based approaches are insufficient for robust security. Then there's CVE-2025-24813, a remote code execution vulnerability affecting Apache Tomcat servers that can be exploited with just one PUT request. This attack leverages session persistence mechanisms and deserialization processes to gain full remote access without authentication—a stark reminder of how seemingly benign requests can lead to catastrophic breaches. Finally, we touch on updates from our benevolent overlords, including insights into ServiceNow vulnerabilities and upcoming events like NoiseFest at RSAC 2025. These resources continue to provide valuable intelligence for staying ahead of emerging threats in the cybersecurity landscape. Storm Watch Homepage >> Learn more about GreyNoise >>

It was an instant sensation. I secretly think the Freemasons were thrilled. However, there was never an agreement with Alanis. Too bad for her. They eventually recorded a vocal with Bailey Tzuke some time late. It was good but inferior to the bootleg. LOVE!

As AI disrupts and reshapes our interactions with brands and people alike, how do we genuinely connect with the voices around us? Conversational AI challenges us to rethink engagement with both technology and each other. What does it mean for brands to have a voice, and how can this change redefine connection and accessibility? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with the dynamic duo behind Pragmatic Digital, a strategic marketing agency at the forefront of leveraging cutting-edge technology for tangible business results. Susan and Scot Westwater, authors of Voice Marketing: Harnessing the Power of Conversational AI to Drive Customer Engagement, share their journey from traditional marketing to becoming trailblazers in the world of voice and conversational AI. This episode offers a comprehensive look at the conversational AI ecosystem, from voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant to the integration of voice capabilities in mobile apps and customer service platforms. The Westwaters provide invaluable insights on how businesses can harness these technologies to enhance brand experiences, streamline operations, and create more meaningful customer interactions. They educate Dan on some of the finer points of conversational AI and discuss its impact on marketing and communications, offering strategies for implementing voice technology in various business contexts. The conversation highlights the importance of intentional design in creating effective voice experiences, balancing automation with human oversight in AI-driven customer interactions, and the future of agentic AI and its potential applications in business. Whether you're a seasoned marketer, a communications professional, or a business owner looking to stay ahead of the curve, this episode provides actionable advice on integrating conversational AI into your strategy. Susan and Scot's expertise demystifies complex concepts, making them accessible and applicable to businesses of all sizes. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from two of the industry's leading voices on how to leverage conversational AI to drive customer engagement and propel your business forward in the digital age. Listen in and hear about...  Embracing conversational AI as a powerful tool for customer engagement How voice technology democratizes information access and distribution Crafting brand personalities for AI-driven interactions with customers Balancing human oversight with AI automation in business processes Leveraging voice assistants and chatbots across multiple communication channels Practical steps for integrating AI into existing marketing and PR strategies The future of agentic AI and its potential impact on business operations Notable Quotes On the Power of Voice in Communication: "Spoken word suddenly became this way of being able to transfer information in a much more democratic method. You didn't have to be able to read. There were opportunities to put things in language. It was starting to get back to the roots again of how information was kind of pulling down some of the gatekeeping." - Susan Westwater [08:04 → 08:35] On the Evolution of Brand Personality: "These were all really interesting, rich experiences that come into play, which is what really geeked me out. Now, Scott was a lot. I would say I was more of the heart and emotion of the possible. I would say Scott was much more of the rational nut to put to." - Susan Westwater [08:35 → 08:51] On the Accessibility of Conversational AI: "It reduces friction. It removes literacy out of the equation. You don't have to know how to use a computer. Literally, as long as you can ask a question, you can get some sort of response." - Scot Westwater [10:08 → 10:21] On the Versatility of Conversational AI: "Chatbots are part of conversational, voice assistants are part of it. Voice Mode and ChatGPT, they're all different flavors of it. You're physically using your voice to ask a question and getting some sort of response from a system." - Scot Westwater [10:34 → 10:49] On the Importance of Intentionality in AI Voice: "We have to be intentional then, by the way, about who it is we want our audiences to speak with. And that can work from a B2B perspective just as much as it can work from an external customer engagement perspective." - Susan Westwater [17:02 → 17:17] On the Practicality of AI in Business: "In practical business you probably don't, you probably don't need AGI, quite frankly. A lot of what we're talking about is automating basic business processes, whether you're using AI or other tools." - Scot Westwater [1:01:22 → 1:01:37] On Getting Started with AI: "Do what you did and just get started now, whether it's learning or experimenting or use case identification, like, just start. There is so much fear out there. There's so much, quite frankly, misinformation related to AI and it's just a matter of getting in there, getting comfortable, getting those quick wins, seeing how it can actually help your process." - Scot Westwater [1:05:28 → 1:05:52] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Susan and Scot Westwater Susan Westwater | LinkedIn Scot Westwater | Linkedin Pragmatic Digital | Website Voice Marketing: Harnessing the Power of Conversational AI to Drive Customer Engagement | Amazon Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)
