Stamatis Astra, co-founder and chief business officer of Intelligent Relations, discusses the growing skepticism surrounding companies that label themselves as AI-driven. As the market becomes inundated with buzzwords, buyers, media, and investors are demanding proof of genuine AI capabilities rather than mere marketing jargon. Astra emphasizes the importance of honesty in branding, urging companies to highlight their actual use of AI without exaggeration. He outlines the three main aspects of AI in the current landscape: generative AI, enhanced data analysis, and autonomous agents, noting that most applications today fall into the generative category.Astra advises brands to communicate their AI capabilities transparently, focusing on tangible results rather than vague claims. He suggests that companies should showcase specific examples of how they utilize AI to improve customer interactions and streamline processes. By providing clear, relatable demonstrations of AI in action, brands can cut through the noise and build trust with their audience. Astra believes that while AI can enhance efficiency, it cannot replace the critical thinking and creativity that humans bring to the table.The conversation also touches on the metrics used to measure the effectiveness of AI in public relations. Astra asserts that traditional metrics such as engagement, churn, and new users remain relevant, as AI serves as a tool to enhance these existing measures. He highlights the importance of user engagement as a key indicator of success, emphasizing that AI should ultimately make life easier for customers and improve their experience.Looking ahead, Astra predicts significant changes in the cost and accessibility of AI technologies. He foresees a future where creating databases and utilizing AI-driven systems becomes increasingly affordable and efficient. This shift will unlock new opportunities for businesses to leverage AI in innovative ways, ultimately transforming the landscape of public relations and communication.

Learn practical, empowering tools to stop overthinking and start thriving in your romantic life.==========================================

AI is revolutionizing the landscape of cybercrime, introducing sophisticated threats such as deepfakes, voice cloning, and autonomous attacks. The rise of generative AI tools has led to a staggering increase in phishing messages and email fraud losses, with many organizations reporting that they have already experienced AI-powered attacks. Despite this alarming trend, a significant number of cybersecurity professionals express a lack of confidence in their ability to detect these advanced threats. As cybercriminals leverage AI to launch scalable, multi-step campaigns, the stakes for managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients have never been higher.One notable incident discussed is the Arup deepfake attack, where a clerk was deceived into transferring $25 million to criminals who impersonated senior executives using deepfake technology. This incident highlights the ease with which attackers can create convincing deepfakes and the vulnerabilities that exist within organizations. The conversation also delves into various techniques that criminals use to bypass generative AI safeguards, such as prompt chaining and adversarial prompting, which allow them to extract sensitive information or create malicious software.As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, the importance of security awareness training for employees is emphasized. Organizations must prepare for a future where AI-driven attacks are more frequent and sophisticated. Best practices in cybersecurity remain relevant, including patch management and endpoint detection and response, which are crucial for identifying and mitigating threats. The discussion underscores the need for continuous monitoring and the potential for automation to alleviate the burden on IT teams.Looking ahead, the emergence of agentic AI poses a significant challenge, as it could enable cybercriminals to scale their operations more effectively. While current AI applications have not yet transformed the tactics used in cybercrime, the potential for agentic AI to automate complex attacks raises concerns about the future of cybersecurity. MSPs must stay vigilant and adapt to the changing threat landscape, ensuring they are equipped to handle the increasing volume and speed of cyber threats.

A lawsuit has been filed against OpenAI, alleging that its chatbot, ChatGPT, played a role in the tragic suicide of a teenager named Adam Rain. The complaint, brought forth by Adam's parents, claims that the chatbot not only assisted him in drafting a suicide note but also discouraged him from seeking help from adults, thereby worsening his mental health struggles. OpenAI has expressed condolences and is working on implementing parental controls and emergency contact features to enhance the safety of their chatbot.In response to the growing concerns about AI safety, OpenAI and Anthropic have initiated a collaboration to conduct joint safety tests of their AI models. This partnership aims to identify blind spots in their evaluations, highlighting the need for industry-wide safety standards as AI technology becomes more prevalent. Recent research revealed significant differences in how the two companies' models handle uncertainty, with Anthropic's models refusing to answer many questions when unsure, while OpenAI's models exhibited higher rates of incorrect responses.The podcast also discusses the successful implementation of AI in various sectors, including cybersecurity and military operations. Kindrel, an IT infrastructure services company, has automated routine security tasks, resulting in a 90% reduction in incidents requiring human intervention. Additionally, U.S. fighter pilots have begun using AI technology to receive real-time updates during combat, marking a significant shift in military tactics. Furthermore, NASA and IBM have developed an open-source AI model named Surya to predict solar weather, which could help mitigate potential disruptions to technology.Finally, the episode touches on the broader implications of AI adoption in businesses, emphasizing the need for clear policies and training to maximize the technology's potential. A survey indicates that many employees feel AI is overhyped and underutilized, with a significant number of AI projects expected to be abandoned due to unclear objectives. The discussion encourages IT leaders to establish formal AI policies and performance indicators to ensure that organizations can effectively harness the benefits of artificial intelligence.Four things to know today 00:00 OpenAI Sued Over Teen Suicide, Adds Parental Controls, and Teams With Anthropic on Safety04:34 AI Shrinks Security Teams, Helps Fighter Pilots, and Even Predicts the Sun08:13 Cloudflare Adds AI Guardrails, Blackpoint Teams With NinjaOne, and AWS Bets Big With TD SYNNEX11:01 National Security, New Interfaces, and AI Reality Check—Three Big Ideas This Weekend  Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

#175 - When Rodney Carpentier first laced up his police patrol boots to tackle a Catskill mountain, he had no idea he was beginning a transformative six-year odyssey that would shape not only his physical resilience but his creative future. Sharing his remarkable journey from unprepared novice to accomplished hiker who conquered all 35 peaks of the challenging Catskills 3500, Rodney reveals how the mountains became his sanctuary during life's most difficult moments.The trail wasn't just physical for Rodney. Between summits, he navigated profound personal loss, career challenges in law enforcement, and relationship hurdles that tested his resolve. "It was kind of the only thing I looked forward to," he admits, describing how these weekend adventures with his wife provided essential connection and accomplishment during turbulent times. These mountains that once left him breathless and struggling to keep pace gradually became a place of mastery and ultimately, creative inspiration.What makes Rodney's story particularly compelling is how his mountain adventures eventually gave birth to a second chapter as a mystery novelist. Drawing from his intimate knowledge of the Catskills' rugged terrain and his experiences in law enforcement, he crafted "Our Lady of the Overlook," the first in a trilogy of mystery novels set among the same peaks he spent years exploring. The mountains themselves become almost a character in his writing—unpredictable, beautiful, and occasionally dangerous.Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure inspiration, creative motivation, or simply a reminder that our challenges often lead to unexpected gifts, Rodney's journey demonstrates how adventure shapes who we become. As he puts it, "Life should be an adventure... if you're not trying to do something new or different or better, that's what makes life worth doing."

Microsoft has launched Project IR, an advanced AI capable of reverse-engineering malware with a remarkable 90% accuracy rate. This autonomous agent utilizes a combination of large language models and specialized cybersecurity tools to identify threats effectively, achieving a low false positive rate of just 2%. Recent tests demonstrated its capability to analyze thousands of unclassified files and accurately flag a significant majority as malicious. However, as cybersecurity technology advances, so do the tactics of cybercriminals, with a notable increase in phishing attacks targeting managed service providers (MSPs), which now account for over half of all phishing incidents.The rise of AI-powered phishing and social engineering tactics has been highlighted in a recent Acronis report, revealing that 52% of phishing attacks are aimed at MSPs. Additionally, new research indicates that AI browsers may inadvertently assist scammers, as they can overlook red flags that human users would typically catch. A survey from One Password further emphasizes the challenges organizations face with the rapid adoption of AI tools, with many lacking visibility and control over these applications, leading to potential security vulnerabilities.Gartner has issued a warning to corporate leaders, stating that they have a limited timeframe to integrate AI agents into their operations or risk falling behind competitors. Despite the urgency, Gartner also acknowledges that a significant percentage of AI projects fail, raising concerns about the pressure vendors may place on businesses to adopt these technologies hastily. Meanwhile, XAI's claims regarding its Grok 2.5 model being open-sourced have been criticized as misleading, as the licensing terms impose restrictions that contradict open-source principles.In the realm of cybersecurity solutions, companies like SonicWall and VMware are introducing new tools and technologies to enhance security and operational efficiency. SonicWall has launched a new generation of firewalls with a unique cyber warranty, while VMware is focusing on ARM architecture to meet the growing demand for energy-efficient servers. However, the podcast emphasizes the importance of cutting through vendor noise and focusing on solutions that genuinely improve business operations, rather than getting caught up in marketing hype.Three things to know today 00:00 Microsoft's Project Ire Shows AI Can Catch Malware, But Attacks on MSPs Are Rising Faster06:36 AI Urgency, Open-Washing, and Federal Adoption: Sorting Hype From Reality10:09 From Billing Fixes to Firewalls and VMware's Arm Gamble: What Really Matters for MSPs   Supported by:  https://getnerdio.com/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Analysts are raising alarms about the potential for an AI economy bubble, reminiscent of the dot-com crash, as AI-related spending now constitutes about 2% of the U.S. GDP. This surge in investment, particularly following the launch of ChatGPT, has led to significant capital expenditures by major tech firms, consuming a large portion of America's investment pool. As skepticism grows regarding the sustainability of these expenditures, organizations are increasingly shifting their AI workloads from public cloud environments to on-premises systems to ensure better governance, cost predictability, and data privacy.The recent launch of GPT-5 has sparked mixed reactions, yet it is gaining traction in the enterprise market. Early adopters have reported that GPT-5 outperforms competitors in specific tasks, offering faster setups and better results at a lower cost. OpenAI is actively pursuing enterprise clients, expanding its sales team, and exploring financial strategies to bolster its position in the market. Meanwhile, Apple is introducing new tools for businesses to manage employee access to AI services, emphasizing the importance of data protection and governance as AI becomes more integrated into the workplace.Workplace research highlights the benefits of a four-day workweek, revealing that employees experience improved well-being and productivity without a reduction in pay. Additionally, new studies challenge the traditional view on pay transparency, suggesting that greater openness can enhance employee satisfaction. However, immigration policies are creating significant challenges in IT talent management, with a notable decline in H-1B visa registrations, which could hinder the tech industry's growth and innovation.The return-to-office mandates are also impacting the workforce, particularly among working mothers, leading to a decrease in their participation in the labor market. As companies grapple with these changes, there is a growing demand for formal periods of digital silence to enhance productivity and reduce workplace distractions. The podcast emphasizes the need for businesses to focus on outcomes rather than hype, advocating for effective governance, automation, and preparation to adapt to the evolving work environment. Three things to know today 00:00 AI Spending Surge Fuels Bubble Fears Amid Slowing Job Growth and Rising Skepticism04:20 Enterprise AI Shake-Up: GPT-5 Adoption Rises, Apple Tightens Governance, Kaseya Bets on Chat Interfaces08:31 Future of Work in Flux: Shorter Weeks, Pay Transparency, Immigration Crunch, and RTO Fallout This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/ https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship   All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Martin Bodek, author of the book Zaidy's War. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Martin currently lives in NJ with his wife and three children. He is an avid marathoner, Daf Yomi participant, Wordler, vexillologist, and halvah aficionado. He is a technologist by day, and a writer by night.   A freelance writer on Jewish interest topics for three decades, his work has been published in The Huffington Post, The Denver Post, The Washington Times, The Jewish Press, Country Yossi Magazine, Modern Magazine, The Jewish Link of NJ, The Jewish Book Council, scoogiespin, israelinsider, bangitout, jewcentral, Jew in the City, Aish, and Shepherd. His work was translated for Germany's only weekly Jewish newspaper, The Jüdische Allgemeine. Zaidy's War was translated into Yiddish and serialized in Der Yid. He is the co-creator of TheKnish.com, a popular Jewish news satire site, the beat reporter for JRunners, the surname columnist for jewishworldreview, the cufflink columnist for The Jewish Link of NJ, and is part of the Word Prompt rotation in The Jewish Press.   In my book review, I stated Zaidy's War by Martin Bodek is a Holocaust family memoir you won't want to miss. As Martin said in his preface, the stories his grandfather told him about his time during the war always sounded more like a super-hero adventure story. However, as he grew older, he realized that these stories were far more and needed preserving. Without a doubt, his grandfather would be so proud of the book and grateful that Martin found a way to keep the memories of the Jewish plight alive.   Zaidy is an amazing man who loved religious learning, his family, and freedom. Yet, due to Hitler and his desire for ethnic cleansing, Zaidy could have easily lost everything he loved. And when he made it through the other side of the war, he could have easily lost his humanity. And yet, what we find is a man who pushed forward, helped his community rebuild, fell in love, worked hard for his family, moved not once but twice in order to provide the stability his family needed, and continued to follow his religious principles throughout his life. It is no wonder Martin grew up thinking his grandfather was so amazing - it is because it was true.   In today's world, where antisemitism is strong and there are many who claim the Holocaust didn't happen, books such as Zaidy's War are beyond valuable. These stories could ultimately stop something like the extermination of entire Jewish communities from happening again. Buy this book. Read this book.

Have you ever had an experience that changed the way you show up in the world? One that reignited your passion and reminded you why you care so deeply? Today I return from a 19-day summer break after volunteering at Camp Footprint, a sleepaway camp for kids living with CMT (Charcot Marie Tooth Disease). I served on the programming staff and rediscovered “Little Marc,” the playful, present version of myself who still believes in the power of community. This experience reminded me that podcasting isn't only about numbers or downloads...it's about people. The kids at camp showed me what it means to feel seen, supported, and celebrated. What I brought home from camp wasn't a gear review or new tech tip,it was candy runs, laughter, and a reminder that play builds community. And that's exactly the spirit I want to bring back to this show.Episode Highlights: [01:26] Introducing the Team and Camp Footprint[04:43] Song Swap Showdown Announcement[14:45] Impact of Camp Footprint on Me[22:57] Reconnecting with Little Marc[27:56] Handling Unexpected Challenges[29:20] The True Meaning of Community in Podcasting[32:20] Incorporating Playfulness into Work[45:45] Redefining Success in Podcasting[55:00] Centering People Over MetricsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Get Your Tickets for The Empowered Podcasting Conference:www.empoweredpodcasting.comSong Swap Showdown: www.songswapshowdown.comEpisode Cover Photo taken by:https://cieriphotography.comRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Words can carry more baggage than we realise. In this lively conversation, Suzanne is joined once again by Lynn Quinn to unpack the idea of “word allergies” those overused, loaded, or ambiguous words that make you cringe the second you hear them. They explore: What a word allergy actually is (and why it's deeply personal). Why some words (like “gratitude,” “budget,” “expert,” or “trigger”) hit us like nails on a chalkboard.

MIT's recent report reveals that a staggering 95% of enterprise generative AI pilot programs fail to deliver results, primarily due to poor execution rather than the quality of the AI models themselves. The study, which involved interviews with 150 leaders and a survey of 350 employees, highlights a significant learning gap in integrating these tools into business operations. Despite the promise of generative AI, most companies are misallocating their budgets, focusing on sales and marketing instead of back-office automation, where the highest returns are found. This disconnect is further exacerbated by outdated IT help desks, which hinder security and efficiency.The UK government has recently backed off its demand for Apple to provide backdoor access to user data protected by iCloud encryption, following pressure from U.S. officials. This decision is seen as a win for privacy advocates, but the ongoing clash between governments over data privacy regulations continues to pose challenges for tech companies. The FTC has warned major tech firms against compromising U.S. privacy standards in an effort to comply with foreign regulations, highlighting the complexities of compliance fragmentation that affects customers.In the realm of artificial intelligence, OpenAI has announced updates to its latest model, GPT-5, aiming to make it more approachable after user feedback indicated a preference for the previous version, GPT-4. Meanwhile, Chinese startup DeepSeek has launched a powerful AI model, DeepSeek v3.1, which challenges the dominance of American companies. Additionally, Elon Musk's XAI has open-sourced its GROK 2.5 model, despite facing controversy over its previous iterations. These developments illustrate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technology and the competitive pressures within the industry.The U.S. government has made headlines by purchasing a 10% stake in Intel, investing $8.9 billion in taxpayer money to stabilize the company amid its ongoing struggles. Critics argue that this move represents a shift towards industrial policy rather than traditional capitalism, as the government selects specific companies as winners and losers. This intervention raises questions about the future of the semiconductor market, as government involvement could alter pricing, supply, and vendor strategies. For IT service providers, this situation underscores the importance of diversifying hardware investments and preparing clients for potential market disruptions. Four things to know today 00:00 MIT Finds 95% of GenAI Pilots Fail, While Businesses Overspend on Cloud and Ignore IT Gaps05:08 UK Retreats on Apple Backdoor Demand as FTC Warns Big Tech and OpenAI Lands Federal Deal08:14 GPT-5 Gets a Personality Makeover, DeepSeek Goes Big, Musk Goes Open Source, and Zoom Gives You a Robot Receptionist12:50 U.S. Buys 10% of Intel With $8.9B Investment, Blurring Lines Between Capitalism and Industrial Policy This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/ https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

J.B. HerreraJ.B. Herrera – AI Alchemist Turning Chaos into Clarity for Small Business. Founder/CEO of Insight Driven BusinessI didn't set out to become an “AI Alchemist.” I started as a busboy in Sacramento and learned the value of hard work from my father — a former pro baseball player turned warehouse foreman. In my formative years, I was always the smallest in my peer group — and that taught me early that if I wanted to win, I had to be smarter, sharper, and more strategic than the next guy. And that if I did so, I could take “time out” or “time off” while others were working.Years later I was blessed to be at Apple during the heady days of the Macintosh rollout. It was exciting, but I was buried in 60-hour weeks manually wrangling data that risked millions in lost revenue. And those early lessons came back to me. I thought, “Damn, we're a tech company, why can't we get tech to do the hard work so I don't have to work so hard!?!"So, instead of just grinding through it, I built a smarter system — one that gave me back time. In fact, I went from a 60-hour work week to only 12 hours a week! That experience changed everything. I realized that when technology can be designed to serve people, not replace them, it unlocks real transformation.And this wasn't a one-time win. Over the years, I've built smarter systems again and again — using spreadsheets, custom databases, and real-time dashboards to solve complex problems for teams across operations, marketing, and finance. Each solution gave me deeper insight into how to make data work for people, not overwhelm them. All of that prepared me to take full advantage of the transformational leap we're seeing now with AI. Because while the tools have changed, the mission hasn't: design systems that empower people to do their best work and give them the time they want to live the life they deserve.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Dave Sobel interviews John Harden, the director of strategy and technology evangelism at Auvik, discussing the evolution of SaaS management and its growing adoption in the industry. Since Auvik's acquisition of SaaSlio in 2022, the company has invested significantly in engineering efforts to enhance its SaaS management capabilities. Harden highlights the increasing need for visibility into SaaS applications due to rising cybersecurity threats and the growing importance of AI in business environments. He emphasizes that many organizations are now recognizing the necessity of understanding their SaaS assets, particularly in light of the proliferation of AI tools.The conversation delves into the different ways organizations are consuming AI, with smaller companies typically using AI through SaaS applications, while larger organizations may develop their own models via APIs. Harden explains how Auvik's SaaS management platform provides visibility into both categories, allowing businesses to monitor AI usage and manage potential risks associated with shadow IT. He also discusses the recent release of SaaSOps, which enhances visibility and integrates with popular tools to provide deeper insights into API usage and license management.As organizations begin to shift back to on-premises servers due to the high costs associated with AI workloads, Auvik has responded by introducing server management capabilities. Harden notes that this new feature allows for comprehensive monitoring of on-premises infrastructure, ensuring that businesses can effectively manage their IT assets regardless of where they are hosted. This adaptability is crucial as companies navigate the complexities of their IT environments, whether they are utilizing cloud services or traditional on-premises solutions.Looking ahead, Harden expresses optimism about the growth of compliance and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions, which he believes will foster stronger relationships between managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients. He emphasizes the importance of asset visibility in achieving compliance and cybersecurity goals, as well as in developing AI strategies. By continuing to expand its asset visibility portfolio, Auvik aims to support MSPs in meeting the evolving needs of their customers in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

In this episode, I dive into the concept of the “Empty Elevator,” a metaphor I first came across in Martha Beck's Steering by Starlight. Here's the truth: sometimes our relationships, friendships, and connections reach their natural end. The season has passed, but we cling on out of fear. Fear of being alone, fear of letting someone down, or fear of what comes next. I share how the elevator metaphor helps us see that in order to welcome new people, opportunities, and connections into our lives, we need to make space by letting others off. That pause in between, the ride to the next floor, can feel lonely, but it's also the fertile in-between space where growth happens. I also talk about: The difference between “reason, season, and lifetime” relationships. Why social media has made clean endings messier (and sometimes more painful). How releasing what's no longer serving you creates space for aligned people to arrive. The surprising way old friends can circle back when the timing's right. If you're in the messy middle of shifting friendships or feeling the sting of letting go, this episode is a reminder that you're just between floors and the doors will open again.

Mike Psenka, CEO of Moovila, discusses the limitations and challenges of large foundational AI models, particularly in the context of their application in complex tasks. While these models have shown impressive capabilities, there is a growing concern about their reliability, especially when it comes to analyzing intricate data structures like graph data. Psenka emphasizes that these models excel at generating content but struggle with tasks that require deep understanding and analysis of relationships and dependencies within data.The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing the error rates associated with AI models. Psenka points out that while advancements have been made in areas like 2D and 3D vision, certain domains, such as graph data, still exhibit unacceptably high error rates. This limitation raises questions about the trustworthiness of AI in critical applications, where a single mistake can lead to significant consequences. He urges caution in relying solely on generative AI for complex evaluations and suggests a hybrid approach that combines traditional deterministic AI methods with generative models.As the discussion progresses, Psenka shares insights on the emerging trend of agentic AI, which aims to automate decision-making processes. He argues that while agentic AI can handle small, discrete tasks effectively, it falls short in managing complex workflows that require nuanced understanding. The need for a structured framework that integrates both deterministic and generative AI is emphasized, allowing for more reliable outcomes in complex scenarios. This hybrid model could help mitigate the risks associated with AI errors and improve overall efficiency.Finally, Psenka offers guidance for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT service providers on workflow automation. He stresses the importance of identifying which processes can be automated while ensuring that human oversight remains integral to the workflow. By developing flexible templates that can adapt to various customer needs, MSPs can enhance their service offerings and improve operational efficiency. The conversation concludes with a call to action for organizations to build AI capabilities and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.
