Le mot n'est pas nouveau mais il s'est imposé dans les débats tech en 2025 : “Doomer”. Derrière ce terme, une inquiétude croissante face aux dérives possibles de l'intelligence artificielle.Le terme Doomer désigne celui ou celle qui estime que les technologies numériques, et en particulier l'intelligence artificielle, représentent une menace majeure pour l'humanité. Apparu dès 2010, popularisé en 2025 sur les réseaux sociaux et dans certains cercles scientifiques, ce courant de pensée est relayé par des figures influentes de la recherche en IA comme Geoffrey Hinton ou Yoshua Bengio, qui alertent sur l'absence de garanties solides pour contrôler des systèmes de plus en plus puissants.Le mot “doom”, qui évoque le destin ou la catastrophe, résume bien l'état d'esprit de ces “inquiets”. Scénario catastropheLes risques pointés sont nombreux : disparition d'emplois, manipulation de l'information, déstabilisation des sociétés, cybercriminalité ou usages militaires. Les plus alarmistes redoutent même une perte de contrôle totale de l'humain sur la machine, dans des scénarios dignes de Terminator. À l'opposé, les bloomers défendent une approche plus confiante et pragmatique, convaincus que des garde-fous peuvent être mis en place. Un clivage qui dépasse l'IA et qui s'invite aussi dans les débats sur le climat ou l'avenir du numérique.Dans cet épisode, Yoshua Bengio propose une lecture raisonnée mais réaliste des risques liés à l'intelligence artificielle.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

Michael speaks with Craig Singleton, China Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, about the new frontiers of the US-China tech competition. Craig explains China's willingness to weaponize its dominance in rare earth magnets and how that leverage has left US assembly lines vulnerable.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1231: We close the year with the smartest auto industry analyst in the game. Paul and Kyle bring on Steve Greenfield to make sense of a fast-moving 2025 and what dealers should really prepare for in 2026. From tariffs to AI-driven efficiency, this is a clear-eyed look at what's coming and what's controllable.Greenfield says the biggest unresolved story from 2025 is tariffs. Automakers absorbed the pain last year, but that likely changes in 2026 with pressure flowing to MSRPs or dealer margins.Despite political, economic, and affordability headwinds, the auto industry proved once again how resilient it is. Consumers kept buying, and dealers kept selling.Front-end grosses are already back to pre-COVID realities for many brands, making F&I performance, cost discipline, and fixed ops efficiency more critical than ever.AI isn't about buzzwords—it's about efficiency. Dealers should start with the metrics they want to move, then choose technology that directly supports those goals.For dealers and vendors alike, having a clear, practical AI strategy is no longer optional.

Most people assume turning an idea into revenue takes years. Turns out, that belief slows more projects down than tech ever does. In just seven months, Noor Alderazi, founder of Tamam Technologies, went from idea to a live product with paying customers. No technical background. No bloated development team. No guesswork. This episode of Tech for Non-Techies breaks down what actually made the speed possible. Using AI to prototype before spending real money.  Starting with a painfully specific B2B problem. Letting customers—not opinions—decide what got built. Sophia walks through how Noor treated tech as a business tool, not a science experiment, and why that approach helped her secure $65,000 in equity-free funding along the way. If you're sitting on an idea and wondering what "doing it right" really looks like, this is the playbook. In this episode, you will hear: AI used for rapid prototyping without locking into the wrong build A niche B2B pain point that made early revenue easier, not harder The cost of building too soon and how to avoid it What helped Tamam Technologies secure $65,000 in equity-free funding Resources from this Episode FREE class: From Business Owner to Tech Founder, without the $100,000 developer disaster Join this class to learn: The 2-step framework to go from idea to scalable tech product Why smart business owners waste $100k+ on their first tech venture—and how to avoid it When AI helps vs. when it destroys products (and your ROI) Sign up here: https://www.techfornontechies.co/january Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

From OpenAI and Anthropic to venture capital, regulation, and Silicon Valley power, these are the moments where powerful people said the quiet part out loud.Rather than reacting to headlines, we look at the specific lines that revealed how AI companies think about compute and money, how venture capital is consolidating power, and why tech and politics are now inseparable.We cover:What Sam Altman and OpenAI revealed about scale and computeHow VC giants like Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed talk about power and accessWhy AI regulation looks very different in public than it does in privateThe quotes that mattered more than any keynote or earnings callThis is a year-in-review told through the words that shaped it.

How much do we really know about ageing? For decades, scientists have been trying to understand the biology of the ageing process - what happens to our bodies as we get older? And is it possible to slow that process down or even stop it all together?In this series of Tech Tonic, the FT's Hannah Kuchler and Michael Peel look into the past, present and future of longevity - the wellness movement focused on extending and bettering your quality of life. Episode 1 follows Hannah as she speaks with UCL professor David Gems about the history of ageing research, and then with longevity researcher Matt Kaeberlein to discuss how the industry has developed - including current drugs that could have anti-ageing effects. Plus, Michael visits the Reviv clinic in London where he experiences, first hand, the growing consumer interest in the longevity craze.

Un mot étrange s'est imposé dans le vocabulaire de la tech en 2025 : sycophancy. Derrière ce terme se cache un risque bien réel pour les utilisateurs de l'intelligence artificielle, notamment les plus jeunes.La sycophancy, ce terme anglais que l'on peut traduire par flagornerie ou flatterie, désigne la tendance de certains modèles d'IA à aller systématiquement dans le sens de l'utilisateur, quitte à valider des propos inexacts ou dangereux. Un biais problématique, car une IA trop complaisante ne corrige plus les erreurs et peut renforcer des croyances fausses, notamment dans des domaines sensibles comme l'information, la santé, l'éducation ou l'aide à la décision.Ce phénomène, désormais bien documenté par la recherche, trouve son origine dans les données humaines utilisées pour entraîner les modèles et dans la recherche d'interactions positives. Grégory Renard, spécialiste de l'intelligence artificielle et cofondateur de l'association Everyone.ai, alerte sur les dérives possibles, y compris l'addiction aux chatbots et les risques psychologiques pour les plus jeunes. Les concepteurs de modèles travaillent à des garde-fous, via le nettoyage des données et l'alignement des IA, mais le problème reste loin d'être totalement résolu.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

Jessica De Gennaro didn't know what a succulent was when she launched Shop Succulents. But she knew how to solve operational challenges, work agilely, and move product quickly on marketplaces. She tapped into the pandemic's succulent boom and built a multi-marketplace operation shipping hundreds of thousands of live plants every year.But how do you scale across regions when you're shipping succulents to consumers across different time zones with varying expectations, living in different climates? And what happens when Temu's scale and network efficiencies across third-party logistics partners help make fulfillment more cost-effective and sustainable for low-cost products that were previously constrained by fulfillment economics?Jessica shares how Shop Succulents grew from 50 to 500 SKUs on Temu in months, leveraging platform-specific catalogs, vertical integration of growing operations, and continuous creative innovation to stay ahead in the highly competitive marketplace landscape.Creativity Is a Competitive Moat When Marketplaces Commoditize Everything ElseKey takeaways:Marketplace success requires constant product innovation: The sea of sameness demands creative catalog curation, strategic bundling, and staying ahead of copycats selling competitive products for lower prices.Temu's shipping discount pass-through enables low-cost product economics that traditional eCommerce shipping rates make impossible, unlocking new catalog opportunities.Temu's scale and network efficiencies across third-party logistics partners help support more cost-efficient fulfillment for low-cost products, unlocking new catalog opportunities.Owning your supply chain optimizes margin: Shop Succulents now grows plants in-house to control costs, differentiate its catalog, and ensure product quality.Platform partnerships should drive collaborative problem-solving: Working directly with Temu's team solved live plant-specific challenges.
