    The Hard Part Wasn't Space

    Planet co-founder Robbie Schingler argues AI's next leap requires teaching it about the physical world, not just text. Join us as he traces the company's path from university dorm-room satellites to a daily record of the planet, in the latest installment of our oral history project.  We Meet:   Planet Labs co-founder Robbie Schingler  Credits: This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

    The Hidden Water Cost of AI

    Water shows up at every stage of the AI supply chain: to manufacture chips, to generate the power that runs them, and then more water to cool the chips in data centers. It's believed that AI's water needs by 2030 could roughly match the drinking needs of the entire United States, and less than 5% of this water is currently recycled.  Ecolab CEO Christophe Beck joins us with a look at how he thinks the industry can grow without draining communities dry.

    Nobody Knows How Many AI Agents They Have, and it’s Risky Business

    From Las Vegas, where AI and security conferences are putting agentic risk front and center, we explore the identity crisis inside enterprise AI, and what it means to have machines managing machines.   We Meet:  SailPoint President Matt Mills  Credits: This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

    Invent Now: The Next Leap in Moonshots

    What if you could build solutions that unlock entirely new realities for millions of people? Aiming for something so big and so audacious that it seems almost impossible to imagine is often referred to as a moonshot. And what might it mean if a big part of what’s standing in the way of your moonshot… is your mindset?  We Meet:   Salima Bhimani, author of Invent Now: The Next Leap in Moonshots Credits: This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

    These Robots Might Solve Space's Labor Problem

    What’s an astronaut’s time worth? Answering that question is not a perfect science, but at more than $100,000 an hour (not counting salary - that's just to keep one alive) on the International Space Station, it’s safe to say it’s more than you want to pay for bagging up trash.  This week, we take a field trip in New York City to see some space robots that could help with this problem.  We Meet:   Icarus Robotics CEO Ethan Barajas  Icarus Robotics CTO Jamie Palmer   Credits: This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

    How to Build AI for the Physical World

    For as far as we’ve come with AI and robotics, there’s still a huge gap when it comes to combining the two. AI excels in the digital space, and in the physical world, robots are often pre-programmed. That’s where physical AI comes in. It’s critical for things that can’t tolerate the kinds of mistakes that are common in today’s statistics based AI, like self driving cars or managing the power grid. In the latest installment of our oral history project, we meet a central figure in these efforts, MIT's Daniela Rus. We Meet:   Daniela Rus is the Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

    Most People With Legal Problems Never See a Lawyer. AI Might Change That.

    Clio serves as the "operating system" for more than 400,000 legal professionals worldwide. Its founder and CEO Jack Newton has a lot to say about the field's agentic future, the company's vLex acquisition, and what other professional services can learn from the shifts he’s seen.  We Meet:   Clio CEO and Founder Jack Newton Credits: This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

    Building a Decentralized Drone Imaging Network

    Most geospatial data is gathered by satellites and cameras attached to planes, but a new decentralized network is helping amateur drone pilots capture and contribute ultra high resolution data.  In this week's show, we go fly a drone and learn how that data is helping power next generation apps for things like disaster response. This episode originally ran in June 2025. We Meet:   Alec Wilson, COO Spexi Bill Lakeland, CEO Spexi   Credits: This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.
