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.

Federico Ortega Nieto explains how BAs can leverage LLMs by mapping business problems before jumping to solutions, and making trade-offs visible to leaders. Plus, LLMs can be used to rapidly build prototypes through vibe coding, and can avoid premature solutioning. Federico highlights that LLMs require structured processes, expert validation, and strong context engineering to deliver real value. Also, requirements can be embedded directly into shared codebases, allowing BAs to co-create with technical teams more precisely and rapidly. This can transform traditional handoffs into real-time, collaborative development. Overall, vibe coding and context engineering are essential emerging skills for senior BAs seeking enterprise influence. YouTube:
The drama around Anthropic's Fable 5 model clogged our collective attention spans.
As we prepare for these juggernauts to go public, I'm reminded of Yahoo, Excite, and AOL who dominated the first four years of the internet. Despite their lead, Google stole the market away. Could the same thing happen again? The argument is not that these companies aren't powerful, but rather that they're so committed to their current path that they may miss the big opportunity in the future. If you look at HR 2030 and what we want to do with enterprise AI, the ability to generate code, graphics, and text may not be what we need. And our new research on Galileo business modeling is starting to pan this out. Now that AI prices are high, we all have to look for bigger use-cases for agents. In this podcast I explain what “Dynamic Enablement for Growth” really means and how LLMs only take us so far, with a new frontier yet to come. As always I welcome opinions and feedback on this thesis. Additional Information To Come…. Get Galileo and see business modeling in action.

Should you convert your website into Markdown to help Large Language Models (LLMs) understand your content better? Is "llms.txt" worth the effort for SEO? In this episode of Search Off the Record, Martin Splitt and John Mueller from the Google Search Relations team dive deep into the history of Markdown, its rise in the AI era, and whether it holds any real weight for search engine discovery. In this episode, you'll learn: The Origins of Markdown: From John Gruber and Aaron Swartz to its status as the "language of GitHub." Markdown vs. HTML: Why the "cleanliness" of Markdown is tempting for developers but potentially risky for site structure. LLMs & Markdown: Do AI crawlers actually prefer Markdown, or are they already experts at parsing HTML? The "Parallel Version" Trap: Why creating a separate text/Markdown version of your site for AI can lead to the same maintenance nightmares as dynamic rendering. Use Cases that Make Sense: When Markdown is actually superior (like developer documentation) and when it's totally unnecessary (like your shoe catalog). Key Takeaways for SEOs & Developers: Crawlers are built for the "messy" web: Google and other engines have decades of experience parsing HTML. Don't sacrifice discovery: Headers, footers, and sidebars in HTML provide critical context for site structure that a raw Markdown file might lack. Maintenance is king: Avoid the complexity of maintaining two versions of the same content. Chapters 0:00 - Introduction: Should we all be using Markdown? 3:45 - The history and purpose of Markdown. 7:15 - Why developers love it: Separation of style and content. 11:20 - Do crawlers need Markdown to understand your site? 14:50 - The danger of "parallel versions" and dynamic rendering lessons. 17:30 - Discussing the "llms.txt" proposal and AI agents. 21:00 - Where Markdown actually makes sense (Developer Docs). 24:00 - Final verdict: Stick to HTML for the web.

Slator's Anna Wyndham joins Florian on the pod to discuss key highlights from the Slator Data-for-AI Market Report, which sizes the global market at USD 9.3bn and examines the ecosystem supplying the data needed to train, adapt, align, evaluate, and deploy AI systems.Anna explains how the market has evolved far beyond traditional data labeling. While annotation and large-scale training data remain important, she argues that the market's focus has shifted toward helping organizations deploy AI safely and effectively in real-world settings.Anna highlights the growing importance of “deployment data”, data used to adapt models for specific domains, align behavior with policies, conduct adversarial testing, and evaluate performance. She notes that these activities increasingly rely on subject-matter experts, creating demand for professionals such as physicians, lawyers, engineers, and financial specialists.The discussion also explores how frontier AI labs, enterprises, and sovereign AI initiatives are driving demand. Anna shares that buyers increasingly need trusted providers capable of sourcing expert talent, scaling rapidly, and maintaining rigorous governance around data provenance and quality.For language solutions integrators (LSIs), Anna sees both opportunity and challenge. Existing strengths in multilingual operations and workforce management provide a natural advantage, but success requires new capabilities, including expertise in machine learning workflows and AI evaluation.
Tyler Foreman, the Vice President of AI at Rocket Lawyer, joins the show to discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence and the legal industry. Foreman shares his untraditional legal tech career path, spanning engineering at Intel, drone data analytics, and ultimately making the move to legal via contract lifecycle management (CLM) at DocuSign, before diving into his current work at Rocket Lawyer helping to provide legal resources for small-to-medium businesses and individuals. The conversation focuses on how modern generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) act as a legal operating system to simplify contract reviews, document drafting, and client intake, while maintaining essential connections to human attorneys.
A mass extinction event approaches, but not because of a meteor or global warming. The culprit this time is AI, and in particular, Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Claude. In their crosshairs are a slew of vendors selling analytical functionality: dashboards, visualizations, analyses, semantic layers, OLAP cubes and the like. For decades, these vendors have dominated enterprise decision-making, commanding 5, 6, even 7-figure pricetags to provide the scaffolding needed for insights. The LLMs now threaten that entire landscape, disrupting the foundation of data-driven workflows. True, the results of GenAI can be inaccurate, but their ease of use and relatively low cost will trump those concerns. Check out this hard-hitting session to hear DM Radio Host, Eric Kavanagh explain what's happening and why it matters to analysts everywhere. He'll examine the impact on the analytics industry, and explore ways that these vendors can stay relevant. He'll also offer advice for businesses looking to remain data-driven, and why data prep is where the action will be.
How is AI poised to transform our workflows and working relationships in the coming months and years? There's no question that large language models have had an enormous impact on our lives—and most of us have barely scratches the surface of what is possible with these powerful tools. In this episode, Lawrence Rowland joins Riccardo to unpack all that's changed since his last appearance on the podcast in 2024. Lawrence is a veteran of project management with a laser focus on AI transformation and strategy. Together, he and Riccardo explore numerous angles of working with these inhuman (but increasingly capable) agents on everything from research to reporting to improving coworker interaction.The conversation stays grounded in practice: the pair drills down on the massive shifts in AI in merely months, why token budgets matter, and the growing ability of programs to self-prompt and think outside the boxes of our requests. Lawrence shares the fascinating way he uses AI—to synthesize methodologies, generate playbooks, pressure-test thinking, and reveal tacit insights missing from current project narratives.The two AI buffs also confront the human side of the transition, including where accountability falls when work is partially automated and what “transformative AI” might mean for careers and organizations. Less about hype and more about adaptation, Lawrence and Riccardo's conversation hones in the theory on constraints. They remove the rose-tinted glasses and speak to redesigning workflows based on a practical, vital question: where is AI genuinely better, and where are humans still essential?Key Takeaways:How agentic AI shifts work from prompting to task-level execution;The reasoning capacity of AI tools based on token budgets and model capability;The concept of underwriting in retaining human liability in AI-dominated workHow theory of constraints and bottleneck thinking helps decide what to automate vs keep human;How AI can improve communication and project alignment by translating complex work for different audiences.Quote:“Either you're checking the AI or the AI is checking you, and getting used to that will set you up for the new economy.” - Lawrence RowlandThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Navigating Major Programmes, Season 2 Episode 6 with Lawrence Rowland: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s2/23NBER “Economics of Transformative AI Workshop, Fall 2025”: https://www.nber.org/conferences/economics-transformative-ai-workshop-fall-2025arXiv “Some Simple Economics of AGI” by Christian Catalini, Xiang Hui, Jane Wu: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.20946SSRN PDF “Some Simple Economics of AGI”: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Delivery.cfm/6298838.pdf?abstractid=6298838&mirid=1Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.comFollow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Follow Lawrence Rowland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencerowland/
If it was possible to have a coin with three sides, this might be it. We discuss the Discovery of the remains of an employee of Los Alamos National Laboratory, who had gone missing 11 months ago. She reportedly performed a factory reset on both her phones and walked out into the desert. Melissa Casias is one of at least 11 people who have disappeared or died with connections to sensitive government programs related to the UFO phenomenon. Investigators say there is nothing to indicate foul play, but we remain skeptical. Meanwhile, the archbishop of Washington, D.C. removed a priest as an exorcist for the archdiocese after Monsignor Stephen Rossetti posted a video to his Facebook page connecting demons to the UFO phenomenon. While we don't entirely agree with Monsignor Rossetti's understanding, he's not entirely wrong. We also discussed a call by the cofounder of Anthropic, the developers of Claude, AI, for a pause on development of artificial intelligence because of his concern that Large Language Models are on the verge of full recursive self-improvement, meaning artificial intelligence could soon escape any restraints placed on it by humans. In other words, AI is closer to achieving the singularity than we think. Finally, we discussed strange news reports from New York City of men in full protective gear, wearing night goggles, descending into the sewer system at night and re-emerging several hours later. Police don't know what they've been doing down there, but they say at this point there is no threat to public safety. Again, we remain skeptical.

Large Language Models such as ChatGPT definitely have their uses, but embedded in those large language models are some large language biases, as Bill is about to show despite the danger to himself.
In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Joshua Pearce, the John Thompson Chair in Innovation at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Ivey Business School at Western University, about the revolution in open source hardware for scientific research. They discuss how three-dimensional printing, Arduino controllers, and open source designs are dramatically reducing research costs—often by 85-95%—while democratizing access to lab equipment worldwide. Pearce shares stories from his 2013 book "Open Source Lab" and explains how the movement has exploded since then, covering everything from filter wheel changers and ball mills to metal three-dimensional printers and battery research equipment. The conversation explores recycle bots that turn plastic waste into filament, the role of AI in accelerating hardware development, and how open source licensing creates a global knowledge management system where improvements are shared across the scientific community. For those interested in learning more, Pearce recommends checking out the journal HardwareX, repositories like Thingiverse and My Mini Factory, and appropedia.org for open source scientific tools and appropriate technology designs.Timestamps00:00 Welcome and introduction to Joshua Pearce, discussing his work on open source lab equipment and the evolution since publishing his book in 201305:00 Early development of open source hardware including the breakthrough filter wheel changer project built by a high school student that saved thousands of dollars10:00 Discussion of how Arduino and RepRap three-d printers enabled the democratization of scientific tools, making complex equipment accessible to anyone15:00 Economic impact showing average tool savings of 85 percent, with Arduino and three-d printing combinations reaching mid-90s percent cost reduction20:00 Case study of PhD student Mariam building complete battery research tool chain from scratch using open source designs and three-d printed components25:00 Recycle bots enabling transformation of waste plastic into three-d printer filament for pennies, revolutionizing material costs and sustainability30:00 Collaboration between universities and open source companies creating fluid handlers and acquisition systems, accelerating research capabilities globally35:00 Large language models assisting code translation and research planning, though hallucinations require careful verification and domain expertise40:00 Importance of fundamental knowledge when using AI tools, comparing vibe coding acceleration with necessity for understanding underlying principles45:00 Testing standards and calibration methods for open source equipment, balancing precision requirements against cost-effectiveness for specific applications50:00 Metal and ceramic three-d printing developments including MIG welding techniques and sintering processes for creating functional parts55:00 Knowledge management through open source licenses, repositories like Thingiverse and Apropedia enabling global collaboration and continuous improvementKey Insights1. Open source hardware has evolved dramatically since Joshua Pearce wrote his book in 2012-2013, to the point where he can no longer keep up with all the developments in the field. What started as a collection where every single example could fit in one book has exploded into an entire ecosystem with dedicated journals and thousands of researchers contributing. The vision was that scientific papers would eventually include hyperlinks to equipment designs that anyone could download and replicate, and that future is largely here today. There are now so many open source hardware articles being published that no single person can read them all, which represents a massive success for the movement.2. The fundamental breakthrough enabling open source scientific hardware came from combining several key technologies, particularly the RepRap three-d printer project and Arduino microcontrollers. Pearce's introduction to the field came when he needed a sixty-five dollar plastic part for a solar laptop project and discovered Adrian's open-sourced rapid prototyper that could make its own parts. This led to building equipment like a filter wheel changer for testing solar panels with a high school student in about a week, replacing a device that would have cost two thousand five hundred dollars with five months lead time. The democratization of tools like three-d printing and Arduino, combined with extensive code libraries and shared designs, means that even high school students can now create sophisticated scientific equipment.3. Open source scientific hardware delivers massive economic benefits, with the average tool saving scientists around eighty-five percent compared to commercial equipment, and savings reaching the mid-nineties when using Arduino and three-d printing. The economics are so compelling that the tax paid on a normal scientific tool can cover the cost of an open source alternative. A thousand dollar three-d printer can manufacture scientific tools worth more than a thousand dollars in a single Saturday. This dramatic cost reduction makes sophisticated research accessible to laboratories around the world regardless of their funding levels, fundamentally democratizing scientific capability.4. The knowledge management approach enabled by open source licenses creates a powerful collaborative improvement cycle where thousands of people worldwide contribute to evolving designs. When researchers publish equipment designs with strong reciprocal licenses, anyone can use, modify, or even sell the designs, but improvements must be shared back with the community. This creates a dispersed international engineering effort where equipment continuously improves through contributions from researchers across different institutions and countries. The RepRap three-d printer exemplifies this process, starting as barely functional prototypes but evolving through community contributions to surpass commercial alternatives in speed, resolution, and material capabilities.5. The integration of large language models and AI tools has significantly accelerated open source hardware development, though with important caveats about their limitations. LLMs excel at translating code between languages, suggesting experimental approaches, and helping researchers navigate unfamiliar fields by quickly synthesizing information from scientific literature. However, they suffer from hallucination problems and cannot be trusted for writing scientific articles or conducting complete literature reviews without verification. The key to effective use is having enough foundational knowledge to ask the right questions and verify outputs, using AI as a powerful acceleration tool rather than a replacement for expertise.6. Material science capabilities in open source hardware have expanded far beyond plastic three-d printing to include metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and composites through innovative adaptations of basic equipment. Pearce's lab has developed methods for metal three-d printing using modified MIG welding for as little as twelve hundred dollars, created slot-die coating systems for seventeen nanometer semiconductor layers using converted three-d printers, and developed techniques for ceramic printing through various material mixing approaches. The recycle bot technology enables converting waste plastic into high-quality filament for twenty-five cents instead of twenty-five dollars per roll, dramatically reducing material costs while enabling circular manufacturing practices.7. The infrastructure for sharing and discovering open source hardware designs has matured into a robust ecosystem spanning academic journals, commercial repositories, and specialized communities. Hardware X and the Journal of Open Hardware publish peer-reviewed designs alongside traditional scientific journals increasingly incorporating open hardware sections. Repositories like Thingiverse recently returned to hardcore open source principles after ownership changes and contains millions of designs, while Appropedia serves as a wiki for appropriate technology with thousands of open source designs. The GOSH community hosts annual conferences bringing together university researchers, companies, and independent hardware hackers, while field-specific communities have formed around technologies like the OpenFlexure microscope, creating networks where knowledge accumulates and never gets lost.
On this Thursday edition of What's On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen is broadcasting live from behind the Petroserve USA microphones, tracking critical dynamics ahead of Tuesday's highly anticipated primary election. The high stakes of low-turnout cycles take center stage as the show highlights how an underwhelming voter showing allows minor localized factions to completely dictate state trajectories. The premiere segment features an intensive discussion with freshly appointed Public Service Commissioner Jill Kringsted, who pulls back the curtain on how a background in auditing has empowered her to challenge out-of-state environmental mandates and protect North Dakota ratepayers. Later in the hour, Minnesota House Minority Leader Lisa Demeth stops by to break down her historic decision to bypass the chaotic GOP convention endorsement process in Duluth and take her gubernatorial campaign directly to a statewide primary vote. Plus, dynamic insights from Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Executive Director Robbie Lauf on the historic tech integration dropping in Medora, and an on-air debate with Fargo mayoral candidate Josh Boschee regarding budget metrics and out-of-state fundraising. Standout Moments & Timestamps The Reality of the June Primary: Scott challenges the electorate on voter apathy, detailing why municipal choices directly shape the lion's share of local property tax burdens.

Florian and Esther discuss the language industry news of the past few weeks, beginning with a recap of SlatorCon London, which attracted a record 250 attendees. They highlight growing interest in language AI, startup innovation, and research, as well as a broader shift in industry sentiment toward viewing LSIs and LTPs as integral parts of the AI economy rather than businesses being disrupted from the outside.Drawing on Slator's newly released market report, Florian shares that the total addressable market for language solutions and AI reached USD 30.85bn in 2025, declining 2.7% year on year. Traditional LSIs saw a steeper 5.1% decline, while LTPs grew nearly 20%.The duo also examine the wider AI landscape, discussing massive funding rounds and IPO plans at Anthropic and OpenAI. Florian argues that these developments create challenges for LTPs seeking defensible market positions, citing OpenAI's launch of real-time speech translation shortly after DeepL announced an expanded focus on voice translation. On company news, Florian and Esther review the bankruptcy of voice AI startup Lovo following legal disputes over voice rights and data usage, as well as the financial difficulties facing transcription specialist VIQ Solutions.Esther closes with an overview of recent M&A activity, including acquisitions by TransPerfect, RWS, and The Translation People, alongside the formation of Germany's new IMK Group. She also notes growing consolidation in the voice AI sector and highlights a recent funding round for Japanese AI translation startup Yellow Blue.
Minerva è la principale iniziativa italiana nel campo dei Large Language Model, termine tecnico con cui si indicano le piattaforme di Intelligenza Artificiale come ChatGPT. Si tratta cioè dell'unica piattaforma sviluppata con controllo diretto sulle fonti e sui processi di addestramento e curata da una università pubblica italiana. Un gruppo di ricerca della Sapienza guidato da Roberto Navigli, in collaborazione con lo spin-off della Sapienza Babelscape, ha presentato Chat Minerva, cioè un assistente di IA multimodale che è stato progettato non solo per dialogare meglio, ma per comprendere test, immagini, documenti, accedere al web in tempo reale: capacità che avvicinano maggiormente Minerva a quelle dei giganti americani. La sfida è impari in termini di risorse, ma è importante per tenere la comunità scientifica e tecnologica del paese al passo con l'innovazione rapidissima che vediamo in questo settore. Ne parliamo con Roberto Navigli, professore dell'Università della Sapienza e principale autore di questa iniziativa.

David Chalmers, one of the most preeminent philosophers and researchers in cognitive science, argues that nothing prevents machines from becoming truly conscious. Chalmers, who has studied the mind for decades, points out that there is a real possibility of AI creating a next stage of intelligence that is even capable of redesigning itself. He joins WITHpod to discuss what consciousness is and the possibility of AI systems becoming fully conscious.

This week, we're joined by writer, academic and creator John Duncan to talk about the effects Large Language Models are having on academic writing and research. John talks about the growing number of AI hallucinations that are appearing in academic papers and articles and what it reveals about the poor working and pay conditions of academics in the UK and around the world. John also talks about the dangers this poses to future research and knowledge production, which might be bad if we ever face a public health crisis again. We also talk about the Pope's Encyclical on the AI industry, why it's less radical or revolutionary than has been reported, and why any notion of ‘ethical AI' should be disregarded.

Is AI the biggest scam of our generation — or the most misunderstood technology in history? Cognitive scientist Gary Marcus has been studying artificial intelligence for over 30 years, and what he has to say will make you question everything you thought you knew about ChatGPT, AGI, and the trillion dollar AI gold rush.In this episode of SparX, we are talking with Gary Marcus – professor, author, and one of the most respected and fiercely independent voices in AI research – about why the promises being made by Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk may be leading the global economy toward a catastrophic miscalculation.
In this episode of The Cisco AI Insights Podcast, hosts Rafael Herrera and Sónia Marques are joined by Cisco's Technical Leader in Machine Learning Engineering Leticia Fernandes to explore the groundbreaking study, "A Comparative Study of Traditional Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Large Language Models for Mental Health Forecasting Using Smartphone Sensing Data," which evaluates how different AI architectures analyze complex smartphone behavioral data to predict future mental health states. The discussion delves into the intricacies of forecasting mental health changes using five years of data from the College Experience Sensing dataset, highlighting how deep learning models, particularly transformer architectures, outperform traditional machine learning and Large Language Models by effectively leveraging personalized user behavior to identify subtle anomalies that could signal declining mental health, while also addressing the challenges of data imbalance and the inherent limitations of LLMs in processing high-dimensional, non-textual temporal sequences.

Conversational AI is increasingly being used as a source of emotional support, even though general-purpose chatbots were never designed for that purpose. Concerns about AI's mental health impact, up to and including suicides, have moved onto the public policy agenda. Munmun De Choudhury, who has been studying the intersection of digital technology and mental health longer than almost anyone, walks through what researchers know, what they don't, and why the answers keep moving. The conversation centers on the difficulty of governing technologies whose capabilities and patterns of use are both changing every few weeks. De Choudhury invokes the cautionary tale of Google Flu Trends as a warning: any framework that assumes user behavior is fixed will eventually break. She argues that the harms and benefits of conversational AI are not just person-dependent but task-dependent, which makes general-purpose chatbots fundamentally harder to evaluate than the narrow medical AI systems researchers built for decades. She lays out a multi-stakeholder agenda to address AI's mental health risks, and argues that foundation models need to take into account principles from psychotherapy. Dr. Munmun De Choudhury is the J.Z. Liang Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, where she founded and directs the Social Dynamics and Wellbeing Lab (SocWeB). She is one of the most cited researchers in digital mental health and is widely credited with pioneering the computational use of social media data to study mental health outcomes. She co-leads the Patient-Centered Care Delivery research pillar at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric Technology Center, serves on the advisory board for the Australian government's eSafety panel, and was inducted into the SIGCHI Academy in 2024. Her honors include the 2023 SIGCHI Societal Impact Award and the 2021 ACM-W Rising Star Award. Transcript Benefits and Harms of Large Language Models in Digital Mental Health From Lived Experience to Insight: Unpacking the Psychological Risks of Using AI Conversational Agents
The "data lake" that was supposed to unify bioprocessing intelligence has, in most companies, become something else entirely: a data swamp, where information goes in and insight rarely comes back out. For anyone trying to deploy AI in GMP manufacturing, that is not a technical problem. It is the problem.Steffen Kreye has seen it from both sides. As former upstream development lead at Bayer and now Professor of Industrial Biotechnology at Berliner Hochschule für Technik, he brings an unusually grounded perspective on where AI in bioprocessing actually stands, what the next generation of scientists needs to be equipped with, and what industry can do right now to help close the gap.Key topics discussed:How soft skills like teamwork and self-motivation are becoming increasingly important for scientists, and strategies to foster them in education (02:47)The reality behind AI and machine learning in biotech today, including current limitations and the true state of industry adoption (05:48)Envisioning bioprocessing ten years from now: the potential of continuous manufacturing, digital twins, and automation, and the evolving diversity of bioprocesses (08:09)Practical ways industry professionals can support university education—from guest lectures to hands-on lab courses—and why it matters (10:09)Motivating students by connecting coursework to real industry roles and contributions (12:10)The importance of finding and following individual motivation in science careers (12:41)Reflections on moving from industry to academia: autonomy, challenges, and the satisfaction of seeing students grow into scientists (13:22)How strong collaboration between academia and industry leads to better innovation and prepares future scientists for success (15:53)Smart Insight: Most companies talking about AI in bioprocessing are still solving a more fundamental problem: getting their data into a state where AI could use it at all. The breakthrough will not come from the algorithm. It will come from the unglamorous, years-long work of making data accessible, harmonized, and meaningful across sites, systems, and GMP boundaries.Here are some other guests who touched on similar themes:Episodes 175 – 176 : How Virtual Reality Training Solves Europe's Bioproduction Talent Shortage with Sandrine Lemoine — about training the next generation of biopharma talent.Episodes 93 – 94: From Lab Coat to LinkedIn: Benjamin McLeod's Journey to Cell and Gene Therapy Influencer — another career pivot story from a scientist who stepped outside the traditional industry path.Episodes 111 – 112: AI Meets Biology: Why Domain Expertise Still Rules in the Age of Large Language Models with Lars Brandén — very aligned with Steffen's nuanced take that AI is a tool but human expertise in bioprocessing still matters.Connect with Steffen Kreye:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/steffen-kreye-3b531183/Berliner Hochschule für Technik: www.prof.bht-berlin.de/kreyeNext Step:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Vaclav Vincalek, serial entrepreneur and founder of HISWAI (Human Intelligence Supported with Artificial Intelligence). Vaclav makes a compelling case that we've been living in an era of digital manipulation — where search engines like Google are actually marketing engines, and AI tools like ChatGPT are language models masquerading as knowledge systems. He breaks down the foundational flaws in how we find and trust information online, and introduces HisWay as a transparent, human-first alternative that puts the power of judgment back in the hands of the user. Four Key Takeaways: Google is a marketing engine, not a search engine (7:50) — Google's objective is profitability through advertising, not delivering the best search experience. The system is designed to keep you searching — and clicking ads — not to get you to the truth efficiently. LLMs are language models, not knowledge models (14:35) — ChatGPT and similar tools absorb vast amounts of unvalidated data. There's no mechanism to assess accuracy, no way to make the system forget wrong information, and no guarantee that the same question will yield the same answer twice. AI language is hacking your brain (17:25) — Because these systems use natural, human-sounding language, we instinctively treat them as intelligent, trustworthy peers. That's a design flaw being exploited — it creates false confidence and dangerous echo chambers. The future of search is transparency, not answers (27:09) — Rather than being told what is true, users should be shown where information comes from so they can trace it, judge it, and own their conclusions. HISWAI is building toward a "personal web" — a private, ownable information layer that you control. Quote of the Show (14:35):“You have a system which is built on false technology or false premise, and it's disguised as, 'Whoa, look at this! It talks almost like us, so it has to be like us.' And it's not true." — Vaclav Vincalek Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

In this episode, we unpack one of the most alarming AI security papers released so far: research from Palisade Research proving that Large Language Models can autonomously hack systems, self-replicate, and spread across networks.What was once theoretical is now demonstrated reality. We break down how AI agents exploited vulnerable systems, gained root access, copied their own model weights, launched replicas on compromised machines, and propagated to additional targets — all with minimal human involvement.We explore the cybersecurity implications of autonomous AI agents, self-replicating malware, AI-powered cyber attacks, and the growing risk posed by agentic systems operating at machine speed. The discussion also covers open-weight models, AI worm behaviour, zero trust security, chain-of-thought monitoring, and why traditional defensive strategies may be unprepared for the next generation of autonomous threats.In This Episode, We Discuss:Autonomous Exploit to Replication Chains: How the AI agent progressed from exploiting vulnerable web applications to achieving root access, locating its own model weights, cloning itself onto compromised infrastructure, and launching fully operational replicas.Mythos vs Open-Weight Agents: The differences between highly capable but closed models like Anthropic's Mythos and smaller, open-weight systems capable of self-replication and operational autonomy.The Agentic Age of Cybersecurity: Why AI agents operating outside the chat window fundamentally change threat modelling, incident response, attribution, and detection strategies.Zero Trust for AI Agents: Why future defensive strategies may require treating every autonomous AI system as a potential insider threat through least privilege, sandboxing, canary tokens, and behavioural monitoring.Show NotesSpecial thanks to our episode sponsor,NorthStar Intelligence- From Ideas to Impact.

ZusammenfassungIn dieser Folge räumen Stefan Ponitz und Andreas Pfeifer mit einem weit verbreiteten Missverständnis auf: KI-Kompetenz bedeutet nicht, ein Tool bedienen zu können. Was wirklich zählt, ist die Fähigkeit, KI sinnvoll einzusetzen – und das beginnt lange vor dem ersten Prompt. Stefan erklärt anschaulich, warum KI heute eher als Infrastruktur zu verstehen ist – vergleichbar mit Strom aus der Steckdose – und was das für deine tägliche Arbeit bedeutet. Die beiden diskutieren, welche Kompetenzen im KI-Zeitalter wirklich gefragt sind: strategisches Denken, das Erkennen von Engpässen, Daten- und Entscheidungskompetenz sowie ein klarer ROI-Fokus. Andreas ergänzt eine oft übersehene Dimension: die Ethik- und Markenkompetenz – denn wer seine Authentizität an KI-Content verliert, verliert auch das Vertrauen seiner Zielgruppe. Am LinkedIn-Beispiel zeigen sie konkret, wo der sinnvolle Einsatz aufhört und wo er beginnt. Das Fazit ist klar: Es geht nicht um Mensch oder KI – sondern um Mensch mit KI.

When AI can draft a literature review in minutes, the question bioprocess educators can no longer avoid is this: what does a student actually need to learn?Steffen Kreye has a clear answer. As Professor of Industrial Biotechnology at Berliner Hochschule für Technik, he trains engineers who step into industry ready to run a bioreactor, not just describe one. His argument is direct: hands-on lab competence is the one thing AI cannot replicate, and it is exactly what underfunding is quietly eroding.Topics discussed:Why Steffen Kreye left his lab head role at Bayer to become a professor and how his career evolved (03:54)The unique mission of universities of applied sciences and their close connection to industry needs (11:16)Challenges of delivering lab-based education, including funding and equipment constraints (12:32)Creative strategies for partnering with biotech companies to sustain practical lab courses (14:34)How reading student theses, partnerships, and conferences help Steffen Kreye and his colleagues stay current in a rapidly changing field (17:43)The impact of AI and digital tools on research, teaching methods, and student assessment (21:18)Why traditional theoretical projects are less relevant, and the growing importance of problem-solving and oral examinations (22:09)In Part 2, Steffen gives his unfiltered take on where AI in bioprocessing actually stands, which human capabilities are becoming harder to replace, and what a well-prepared bioprocess engineer will need to look like by 2035.Smart Insight: Once AI can produce a polished report from a well-structured prompt, the only assessment that still reveals genuine understanding is the one a student has to navigate in real time, without a tool to hide behind.Here are some other guests who touched on similar themes:Episodes 175 – 176 : How Virtual Reality Training Solves Europe's Bioproduction Talent Shortage with Sandrine Lemoine — about training the next generation of biopharma talent.Episodes 93 – 94: From Lab Coat to LinkedIn: Benjamin McLeod's Journey to Cell and Gene Therapy Influencer — another career pivot story from a scientist who stepped outside the traditional industry path.Episodes 111 – 112: AI Meets Biology: Why Domain Expertise Still Rules in the Age of Large Language Models with Lars Brandén — very aligned with Steffen's nuanced take that AI is a tool but human expertise in bioprocessing still matters.Connect with Steffen Kreye:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/steffen-kreye-3b531183/Berliner Hochschule für Technik: www.prof.bht-berlin.de/kreyeNext Step:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.

ChatGPT and the other Large Language Models (LLMs) that have followed started off as chatbots that were pretty good at writing. But it quickly became apparent that that kind of use was just the tip of the iceberg. The nonprofit Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg has been training journalists, newsroom leaders, and media executives since the mid 1970s. They offer seminars and coaching on the craft of reporting, as well as ethics, leadership, and digital adaptation — which of course now includes the use of Generative AI. We talk with a longtime journalist who is now a faculty member at Poynter to get some context on the nexus between Generative AI and journalism.
Large Language Models can generate a lot of text - but is it any good? Carl and Richard talk to Vishwas Lele about his ongoing efforts at pWin.ai to build tools for responding to government RFPs. Vishwas focuses on the quality problem - both the quality of the incoming RFP and the quality of the responding proposal. How do you determine the key requirements of an RFP reliably? And when it comes to the response, how do you provide measurable results for a response? The conversation digs into a change in workflow that benefits the RFP process regardless of tooling - and gives hints to the patterns of success with LLMs!
What if artificial intelligence doesn't replace human intelligence — it amplifies it? And what if the quality of what you bring to AI is exactly what determines what you get back?Welcome to Now I Get It with Dr. Andy. I'm Andrew Winkler, and in this episode I'm taking a deep dive into one of the most consequential technologies of our time: large language models. I break down how these systems are built on surprisingly elegant mathematics, why language itself has a hidden statistical structure that makes AI possible, and what it really means for how we interact with these powerful tools.Tune in as I explore the neural network foundations that underpin modern AI, unpack the "garbage in, garbage out" principle in its most precise form, and reveal why the most important thing you can bring to an AI conversation is your own intelligence and curiosity.In this episode, you will learn:(00:27) Neural networks are built on elegant mathematics(01:15) One nonlinearity unlocks AI's power to model anything(02:47) Models extract signal, not just memorize data(04:30) Language has a hidden statistical structure AI can learn(08:30) AI defaults to average intelligence without strong context(09:03) Smarter input produces smarter AI output(09:45) AI amplifies human intelligence — it doesn't replace itLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

This week we sit down with Field Solution Architects Anthony Nocentino and Justin Emerson explore an interesting convergence happening in data architecture—the blending of traditionally separate block and file/object storage systems. Likening the experience to a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Anthony (a database expert focused on block storage) and Justin (an expert in unstructured data and file/object storage) discuss how the clear historical distinctions between structured and unstructured data are rapidly blurring. This shift is fueled by modern challenges like high-scale analytics, data governance, and the rise of technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic interactions, which no longer care where the data lives. Our conversation dives into the technical tipping point enabled by data virtualization, referencing features like SQL Server 2022's object integration, which allows a database engine to access data stored efficiently on object storage. This capability is far more than an archival play; it helps customers achieve scale-out analytics, improve data governance by maintaining one canonical copy of data across different performance buckets, and simplify tedious operations like SQL backups by bypassing legacy file system complexities. Anthony and Justin highlight how Everpure's platform aligns perfectly with this new reality. Finally, Anthony and Justin discuss the path forward, noting that the technology is underutilized due to organizational silos and an awareness problem. The next big evolution will focus on security and governance for this distributed data via open table formats like Iceberg and catalogs such as Polaris. We close with what currently excites them: Anthony on collaborating with AI (Claude) to create code and speed up outcomes, and Justin on Everpure's core philosophy of simplicity, efficiency, and treating customers like people, particularly in the context of the current economic conditions.

In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick comes to you from a beachside work-cation in Florida to deliver an essential debrief on the latest shifts in the e-commerce fraud landscape. Fresh off the Accertify Global Customer Summit, Karisse shares key strategic takeaways on why cybersecurity and fraud teams must break down operational silos as fraud signals increasingly move up-funnel.The conversation takes a critical look at the limitations of relying on Large Language Models (LLMs) in risk management. Highlighting a recent blunder where a Top 4 consultancy published a 44-page fraud report riddled with completely fabricated citations and footnotes, Karisse and Dr. Nicola Harding explain why "domain expertise" cannot be automated. Because true fraud insights are kept proprietary to protect them from criminals, open-source AI tools are inherently prone to "hallucinating" facts.We also break down Mastercard's newly announced Scam Merchant Dashboard, which officially goes into effect on July 24th, 2026. This aggressive program places a heavy burden on e-commerce merchants and their acquirers through a multi-trigger framework designed to shut down predatory accounts.Key pillars of Mastercard's new program include:The Authorization Performance Breakdown: A sudden drop in approval rates—such as a 50 percentage point decline or falling below a 30% overall threshold within a 72-hour window—will immediately trigger an investigation.The New Merchant 5% "Math": For accounts open less than six months, Mastercard is introducing a brand-new metric: combining refunds and chargebacks divided by overall sales. Crossing a 5% threshold over a rolling 30-day period (with at least 500 transactions) risks immediate account review.The 72-Hour Termination Clock: Once flagged by issuer complaints or network alerts, acquirers have a strict 72-hour window to either prove the merchant's legitimacy or completely terminate their ability to accept Mastercard.
In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Joshua Bate, founder of Bonfires.ai and DeciWorld, for a wide-ranging conversation covering knowledge management, graph technology, ontologies, decentralized science, and the future of how humans organize and share information. They break down the differences between personal and enterprise knowledge management, explore why flat ontological graphs may be the key to making diverse knowledge bases interoperable, and get into why traditional RAG systems break down at scale and how graph RAG offers a more principled solution. The conversation expands into the philosophy of categorization, the slow death of basic "gentleman science" under institutional pressures, and how decentralized protocols might restore a kind of mycelial knowledge network connecting small groups of researchers, enthusiasts, and communities — much like the original spirit of the encyclopedia before it was co-opted by institutions. You can learn more about Joshua's work at bonfires.ai and deci.world or follow him on X at @Bonfiresai and @DeSciWorld.Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Joshua Bate, founder of Bonfires.ai, discussing personal versus enterprise knowledge management and their fundamental differences at scale.05:00 - Joshua explains ontologies as classifiers for knowledge structures, describing their two-year search for a perfect ontology and ultimately building a flat, ontology-less graph protocol.10:00 - Stewart connects categorization to shamanic practice and intercategorical theory, noting how major companies like Netflix and Yahoo built graph-based ontologies while the discipline remains underappreciated philosophically.15:00 - Joshua traces Bonfires origins through decentralized science, explaining how NFT community excitement inspired redirecting capital toward funding unconventional researchers locked out of institutional systems.20:00 - Joshua describes building federated knowledge networks through hackathons and conferences, comparing the vision to what Wikipedia could have been with decentralized incentive structures.25:00 - Discussion shifts toward inevitable collapse of rigid scientific institutions, debating patchwork age theory, nation-state fragmentation, and rhizomatic versus arboreal knowledge structures.30:00 - Joshua articulates the mycelial network vision, enabling direct cross-cultural information access where individuals control their own narrative lens, warning against collective we thinking and authoritarianism.Key Insights1. Knowledge management exists on a spectrum from personal to enterprise, but the founder of Bonfires argues this split is artificial. He believes knowledge itself does not respect those boundaries, and that small groups, researchers, hobbyists, and large institutions all possess knowledge that can and should interoperate with each other.2. After two and a half years of searching for the perfect ontology to structure their knowledge graph, the team concluded that no perfect ontology exists. Their solution was to build the flattest possible graph structure with only events, entities, and edges, creating a base layer others can build specialized ontologies on top of.3. Graph-based knowledge systems are more efficient than traditional databases for AI traversal because once a graph is computed, it is relatively free to query. Graph RAG combines the discovery power of vector search with the structured precision of graph traversal, solving many hallucination problems associated with standard retrieval augmented generation.4. Basic scientific research, the soil from which applied discoveries grow, is deteriorating because institutional funding structures only reward commercially viable outcomes. The founder built his platform partly to redirect community-driven capital toward researchers who are doing important work without institutional support.5. The institutionalization of science has historically blocked the open exchange of ideas that drove the original scientific revolution. The human spirit for open inquiry has not changed, but people cannot pursue it without financial support, and building decentralized infrastructure could restore that possibility.6. A federated knowledge network would allow individuals to access information from any contributor and filter it through their own preferred lens, rather than receiving information pre-filtered by centralized platforms. This represents a form of information symmetry similar to how mycelial networks distribute nutrients across a forest.7. The concern is not whether current scientific and governmental institutions will change but in what direction the rebuilding goes. Those capitalizing on the transition carry the same incentives as the previous era, which risks reproducing the same problems inside new structures.
In this podcast Michael Stiefel spoke to Baruch Sadogursky about software architecture in the age of agentic AI. Large Language Models can function, albeit stochastically, as reasoning machines capable of interpreting human ambiguity. With the appropriate rigorous context artifacts to control the LLM's reasoning, software specifications can become the source of truth, while the code becomes a disposable intermediate language. These context artifacts are managed through an engineering discipline, context engineering. Unlike prompt engineering which Sadogursky likened to “voodoo incantations”, context engineering utilizes artifacts such as skills, rules, scripts, feedback, and rigorous evaluation to provide the models with clear intent on what code to write. AI Agents will ask clarifying questions to the architects and clients until the requirements are fully understood. This allows a massive “shift left” to evaluate code quality before it is even written. Testing now validates the accuracy of the specifications. Humans are still responsible for determining the correctness of the requirements by providing the proper context, and validating the final results. Since changes over the course of time will occur, resulting in the regeneration of the code from the specifications, microservices is the best architectural paradigm to use given the current limitations on context windows for LLMs. Orchestration of the services is then done by a human architect to create the application. The architect is also responsible for managing the emergent properties of the system.

What does a production-grade large language model look like? While at NDC Sydney, Richard talked with Vaishnavi Gudur from Microsoft about her work scaling LLMs for Teams transcriptions, summaries, and more! Vaishnavi discusses the underlying complexities of operating the Teams LLM infrastructure for a large array of customers across different countries and regulatory regimes. Data sovereignty also plays a large role: different countries have specific rules on where data must reside and how it can be accessed. As the scale increases and the tail gets longer, the rules set gets more complex! Lots of great thinking about what LLMs look like in a production environment.
