“AI companies are taking advantage of our natural tendency to ascribe an inner life to our interlocutors. They profit when you think the chatbot cares.” — Kate O'Neill If we don't like someone, we call them a fascist. And if we like them, we say they are a humanist. The F and H words. Both meaningless in our sloppy, bot-infested age. But maybe I'm just a cranky anti-humanist. Even anti-human — whatever that means. Or maybe I'm being harsh (moi?). Humanism certainly is all the rage in our AI age. Corporate consultant Kate O'Neill likes the word so much that she has built her brand around it. The self-styled “Tech Humanist” is the author of Tech Humanist, the host of the Tech Humanist Show, and a frequent speaker on the TED circuit. So how to use the H word without sounding like Claude or ChatGPT? O'Neill argues that what makes us human is our quest for meaning. The M word. That's what distinguishes us from the bots. But as Kazuo Ishiguro warns in Klara and the Sun, we are fast arriving at a point when the bots are better than us at extracting meaning from the world. So did Kate O'Neill pass the Keen Test (reverse of Turing)? Did the Tech Humanist say anything that would have eluded Claude? Or have we already arrived at Ishiguro's bleak terminus where the bots are more skilled at infusing the H word with meaning than we are? Five Takeaways • What Is Tech Humanism? Aligning Business and Human Outcomes: O'Neill's definition: technology shapes human experiences at scale, and it does so almost always in service of a business objective that is accelerating its advance. The purpose of tech humanism is to find the business objectives that need to be met and align them with human outcomes that are rewarding and fulfilling for people. This means using technology to amplify the alignment between business and human outcomes — rather than simply making the business more successful. It is, she acknowledges, not the habit of most business leaders. But it is a habit that can be developed. • You Sound Like a Bot: Andrew's Challenge: Andrew's opening challenge: O'Neill sounds exactly like a well-prompted language model. She uses the h word (humanism) and the m word (meaning). What is she saying that Claude couldn't say? O'Neill's answer: meaning is not a word but a phenomenon. It is what emerges from the combination of embodied sensory experience and language — the way humans encode meaningful experiences with language in their brains. As far as we know, this is a uniquely human capability. Machines process information statistically. Humans process it meaningfully. That distinction is, she argues, precisely the gap that matters. • AI Companies Profit When You Think the Chatbot Cares: O'Neill's sharpest observation: we are constituted to look for inner life in the things we interact with. We give nicknames to our cars and talk to our toasters. At this early stage of interacting with large language models, it is entirely natural to assume there is a consciousness on the other side. The problem: AI companies are actively taking advantage of that natural tendency. They profit from it. The more people believe the chatbot genuinely understands them, the more they use it. That manipulation is real and it is working. Developing critical thinking about AI interactions is, O'Neill argues, now a form of self-defence. • The Intersection of Meaning and Scale: O'Neill's key contribution to the tech humanism conversation: the problem with technology is not technology itself but the scale at which it operates. A single interaction with a biased algorithm is annoying. A billion such interactions, aggregated and accelerated by a business objective, reshapes society. The tech humanist's job is to ensure that when we deploy technology at scale, the outcomes remain aligned with human meaning rather than with the extraction of human attention. This, she says, is both a business problem and a civilisational one. The two are, in her view, inseparable. • A Message to 2126: What We Valued About Ourselves: Andrew asks O'Neill: it is 2126. Humans and machines are indistinguishable. What do you say to whoever is listening? O'Neill's answer: hello from the past. What we valued about ourselves was our ability to understand each other — intellectually, emotionally, sympathetically, empathetically. We could come into our interactions by holding space for what the other person feels and cares about. And we could, even when we disagreed, create more shared understanding by virtue of having the conversation. That is a beautiful thing, she says, whether we are distinctly human and distinctly machine or increasingly a blend of both. About the Guest Kate O'Neill is founder and CEO of KO Insights and is widely known as “the Tech Humanist.” She was one of the first 100 employees at Netflix and has held roles at Toshiba and founded the analytics firm [meta]marketer. She is named to the Thinkers50 global ranking of top management thinkers. She is the author of What Matters Next: A Leader's Guide to Making Human-Friendly Tech Decisions in a World That's Moving Too Fast (Wiley, January 2025), Tech Humanist (2018), A Future So Bright (2021), and Pixels and Place (2016). She advises Google, IBM, Microsoft, the United Nations, Harvard, and Yale. She hosts The Tech Humanist Show on YouTube.

About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 3,000 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTube

In the May 2026 edition of the PRmoment Podcast, host Ben Smith sits down with new business maestro Andrew Bloch (AAR, PCB Partners) to dissect a shifting UK communications landscape. The overarching theme of the month highlights a widening divide between agencies riding massive waves of momentum and those experiencing localized, procurement-driven hesitation.Before diving into the market data, Ben shares two critical industry diary dates for your radar:AI in PR Masterclass (July 2nd, 2026): Titled The Age of Algorithms, Predictive Analytics, and Risk, this event is a comprehensive guide to navigating future-facing tech.

Ensure your team's best creative work is in the running by submitting over at creativemomentawards.co.Key Themes1. The procurement squeeze and market polarizationAndrew Bloch defines the current climate as one of "cautious optimism" mixed with macro anxiety. Pipelines are active, but growth is unevenly distributed. Agencies with sharp specialisms—particularly in sports, consumer lifestyle, and social—are thriving, while others face gridlocked client sign-offs. Furthermore, clients are heavily relying on procurement to extract maximum commercial impact, shifting expectations entirely away from traditional "column inches."2. The independent "David vs. Goliath" surgeA massive takeaway from May's pitch cycle is the clear dominance of independent agencies over legacy network holding companies. Clients are progressively prioritizing agile storytelling and pure earned media capabilities over sheer corporate scale.3. M&A Strategy: earned media as strategic platform glueWhile private equity (PE) and trade buyers are exercising strict valuation discipline, high-quality independents remain hot targets. Private equity is increasingly viewing standout consumer PR agencies as anchor platforms to bolt on smaller social, data, and AI-enabled services.Major pitch wins & M&A DealsNotable Wins: Words and Pixels scooped the coveted UK/Ireland brief for tech giant Pinterest, beating out legacy networks. Newly launched Joe Public landed Sneak Energy, and The Romans expanded their sports footprint by securing Oakley's global and North American remit. Other wins included Grayling taking the Croatian National Tourist Board and Hope and Glory onboarding Ask Italian.M&A Highlights: Publicis made a massive $2.2 billion bet on tech infrastructure by acquiring data collaboration platform LiveRamp at a 30% premium. Meanwhile, Havas snapped up Paris-based corporate influence firm Format, and Mike Worldwide acquired workplace communications agency Hudson Lake.Quotes from Andrew BlochOn maintaining agency momentum:"In a market like this where budgets could disappear overnight, momentum is really the closest thing you can get to having security... You can't stand still in this market. Standing still is going backwards."On why private equity is hunting for PR firms:"What's really encouraging for the PR space is they're seeing earned media as actually the glue that ties together lots of different bits of the marketing mix."On the resurgence of pure storytelling:"A lot of agencies have almost forgotten the art of storytelling and the art of earned media... Let's not forget how important earned media is. That's where PR is."

I obviously love video games and one thing that I wish there was more of a focus on in the online gaming discourse is what other benefits we get from gaming besides the social aspects and hand dexterity etc. In this episode I got to chat with friend of the show Nadia Oxford about her recently released book "From Pixels to Prose: What Video Games Taught Me About Storytelling" from Retro Game Books, which dives into an element of what I mentioned prior, video games teaching us about media in ways we may not expect. I had a lot of fun chatting with Nadia about her book, about what videos have taught her about storytelling and writing and about who she hopes this book will appeal to.

Jason and Rachel enter the Backrooms for a spoiler-filled review of A24's new horror movie from Kane Parsons, the creator behind the viral Kane Pixels YouTube series. We talk creepypasta, no-clipping, liminal spaces, yellow wallpaper, internet horror, YouTube filmmakers breaking into Hollywood, and whether Backrooms works as a full-length movie or should have stayed a terrifying online mystery. Is it scary? Is it frustrating? Is it the next evolution of horror? We get lost in all of it. Spoilers for Backrooms. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kirby Battle Royale is a game often considered one of the worst Kirby games, and it was no doubt disappointing that the game wasn't larger in scope or equipped with better online features (especially for a game all about multiplayer battles). But behind the game's flaws is a clever minigame collection with surprisingly good 3D Kirby combat, a lot of unlockables, and creative experiments that still make the game stand out today. It was the first Kirby game to offer native support for online multiplayer, it offered post-launch DLC, and it gave players the rare opportunity to vote on new abilities to add to the game (introducing the only appearance of Sleep as a combat ability). While it might have fallen short of its potential, it's not short on fun gameplay, so for this episode, Sean, Gigi, and Bridget are giving Royale the royal treatment to show how you can acknowledge the game's flaws while still finding a lot to enjoy in it.Questions or comments about the show? We always love hearing from listeners, and you can reach us at mail@kirbyconversations.com or submit your question to us on social media.Sean also has a new podcast covering the GameCube, Dreamcast, and other games of the 2000s called Millennium Edition, and we hope you will subscribe to that one as well!

Dr. Bradley Erickson, Director of the Mayo AI Lab, speaks with HexAI podcast host, Jordan Gass-Pooré in advance of the University of Pittsburgh's annual AI Summer School program in Medical Imaging Informatics organized by Pitt's Health and Explainable AI Research Lab (HexAI) and the Computational Pathology and AI center of Excellence (CPACE). The episode simulates two different professional vantage point scenarios to help students visualize the vast, multi-dimensional landscape of artificial intelligence in healthcare and radiology.The first half of the episode drops students directly into the vantage point of an AI expert attending a technical conference, where medical imaging informatics are being contrasted with everyday computer vision. Dr. Erickson explains how medical data often extends into multiple dimensions by incorporating complex spatial matrices and tissue properties like T1 and T2 tracking on MRIs, far surpassing standard 2D photographic pixels. He highlights why generic consumer AI tools like simple heat maps or saliency maps fall short of establishing clinical trust; while they can successfully point to where a brain tumor is, they completely fail to explain what that tumor is or why it is changing texture. Furthermore, Dr. Erickson discusses the profound challenge of "ground truth" uncertainty in medicine, explaining that training predictive algorithms is incredibly difficult because definitive biological labels are frequently masked by biological reactions or a lack of definitive longitudinal data.The second half of the podcast episode places students into the role and vantage point of a hospital administrator, exposing students to the active economic and structural deliberations currently playing out in modern hospital boardrooms. Dr. Erickson underscores the considerations and financial constraints that hospitals contend with and explains that while new narrowly focused diagnostic AI tools are attractive, the most immediate return on investment for hospitals often comes from practical, language-based text summarization and ambient patient recording systems. Crucially, this administrative perspective teaches students that the health industry desperately needs supportive roles beyond traditional doctors and researchers, such as AI project managers, integration specialists, and governance officers who can oversee model confidence and decide exactly when to adapt AI solutions or pull failing applications or algorithms back.Dr. Erickson emphasizes that entering this revolutionary field requires a willingness to learn through iteration, push back on assumptions, and manage the critical intersections of technology, safety, and human care. Through an open exploration of technical hurdles and administrative realities, the episode provides a rich conceptual primer for AI Summer School participants designed to cultivate critical thinking informing views on AI in medical imaging, hands-on project development and coding.

Can Aavegotchi DAO takeover the project, the State of Pixels, and the rise of open source in the agentic era. [00:35] Aavegotchi dev Pixelcraft is one of the OG web3 gaming studios.[05:16] It's looking to hand over control of Aavegotchi to the DAO.[06:28] DAOs haven't been successful for reasons like coordination and authority.[07:25] It's a nice vision, but the reality is Pixelcraft ran out of money. [08:01] By 1st September, the DAO has to have decided what's happening going forward. [09:16] Why “gamey games” are harder to hand over to communities or DAOs.[09:55] State of Pixels. It's sustainable but not growing.11:30 Pixels is now considering adding open-source elements. [12:05] AI significantly changes what community developers can build in blockchain games.[13:50] The emerging pattern is surviving web3 games are moving to APIs, MCPs and agent access.[15:15] Why blockchain and AI fit together culturally and technically.[19:05] Define “game games” versus “non-game games”.[20:49] Why blockchain games should focus less on moment-to-moment fun and more on meta. [23:30] EVE Frontier, MapleStory and Soccerverse as examples of meta-focused web3 games. [25:25] These games have emergent experiences. They don't require constant content updates.

Sur nos téléphones portables, les tentatives d'escroqueries se multiplient. Faux colis à livrer, faux conseiller bancaire, abonnement à renouveler de toute urgence… les scénarios sont constamment réinventés et semblent toujours plus personnalisés, mentionnant parfois jusqu'à notre nom ou notre adresse dans le SMS ou l'e-mail envoyés.Mais comment se fait-il que ces escroqueries soient devenues aussi fréquentes et aussi personnalisées ? Elles prennent racine dans les très nombreuses fuites de données – 6 167 enregistrées par la Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (CNIL) sur la seule année 2025 – qui touchent des milliers d'organismes comme France Travail, des entreprises telles que Free, des fédérations sportives ou encore des ministères. Aucune institution n'est épargnée, jusqu'à l'Agence nationale des titres sécurisés, l'organisme public responsable de l'émission des pièces d'identité et de l'immatriculation des véhicules. En avril, une intrusion dans son système informatique pourrait avoir provoqué la « divulgation » des données de près de 12 millions de Français.Pourquoi ces fuites sont-elles aussi massives ? De quels moyens dispose-t-on pour s'en protéger ? L'Etat français fait-il suffisamment sa part ? Dans cet épisode spécial de « L'Heure du Monde », le podcast d'actualité du journal Le Monde, nous analysons ce fléau sociétal massif avec Florian Reynaud et Martin Untersinger, journalistes au service Pixels du Monde, Jérôme Notin, directeur général de Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr, Perrine Sailly, fondatrice de l'association Victimes mais pas démunies, ainsi qu'à travers différents témoignages.Un épisode de Marion Bothorel.

News24 Journalist, Andrew Thompson, joins John Maytham to unpack why younger generations in particular are rediscovering the appeal of delayed gratification, physical photo prints and the nostalgic ritual of shooting on film rather than scrolling through thousands of forgotten images stored in the cloud. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.
