    S4E13 Are generative AI tools unlawful to use?

    Robb and Josh are joined by Ed Klaris, Managing Partner at Klaris Law, Columbia Law professor, and CEO of KlarisIP, for a conversation about the fate of generative tools like LLMs and AI models that produce audio and video. From Ed’s viewpoint, giant tech companies used stolen content to train the powerful AI models that have quickly changed the world around us. The trio discuss the question of whether or not it’s lawful for us all to use generative AI tools and how IP and copyright law will impact, and be impacted by generative AI. As we wait for landmark decisions that will determine the fate of these tools, this conversation with Ed Klaris offers context and food for thought, and for some maybe even a sense of alarm. In this episode, we mention: The US Copyright Office: https://copyright.gov/ The Statute of Anne, also known as the Copyright Act 1710: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_Anne Google Books copyright case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors_Guild,_Inc._v._Google,_Inc.

    S4E11 Digital Natives Are Now AI Immigrants

    Marc Prensky is widely known for coining the terms “digital native” and “digital immigrant”—both now in the Oxford English Dictionary. In this episode, Marc joins Josh for a conversation about the shortcomings of our current education system and how AI might help inspire and enable a new generation of "AI natives" to design their own future. The two discuss the challenges that companies face in adjusting to this new technology paradigm, as well as the potential benefits and risks that conversant machines bring to society. As an eternal optimist, Marc shares his vision of how young people in the third millennium might view productivity and purpose. Marc and Josh also debate the role smartphones play in the classroom of the future, and agree that the world needs more love, empathy, gratitude, and optimism. In this episode, we mention: Marc Prensky’s book “Third Millennium Kids: A Hell Yes!

    S4E10 Is AI the End of Companies?

    With consumer use of AI technology outpacing enterprise adoption, the fear of companies using AI to get rid of employees has been flipped on its head into legitimate threat to the existence of companies as we know them. There’s nothing preventing consumers from using generative tools to disrupt large companies—for example, using a fleet of AI agents to flood and debilitate a call center to take advantage of a promotion. Harsha Gowda and Nitin Bhudia, respectively the CTO and Director of Innovation at Getronics, join Robb and Josh to discuss the risk organizations take by dragging their feet in the race for AI adoption. This conversation explores how organizations can embrace “artificial incompetence” as a necessary initial phase on the course to artificial intelligence, and seed the velocity that will transform their operations. By using AI agents to create an abstraction layer over existing solutions, organizations can take control of their futures. In this episode, we mention: The Invisible Machines episode “Digital Twins in an Agentic World” with Dr. Michael Grieves, the father of Digital Twins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsL3w2bVjmw The TV series “Fawlty Towers”: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072500/ Learn more about Getronics: https://www.getronics.com/ Discover how to succeed with an agentic approach to software: https://onereach.ai/ai-agents/?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ai_and_companies_episode&utm_content=1 #AIPodcast #TechPodcast #InvisibleMachines #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ConversationalAI #AIAgents #TechInsights #DigitalTransformation #TechTalk #Innovation #GenerativeAI #BusinessStrategy #AIAdoption #OrganizationalAGI

    S4E9 Digital Twins in an Agentic World

    Digital twins are critical to the orchestration of AI agents, providing the context they need to create meaningful experiences quickly and efficiently. Robb and Josh welcome Dr. Michael Grieves for a conversation about the origins of the concept, which he developed while working with NASA in the 2010s. The architecture required for orchestrating AI agents relies on different types of digital twins that may emerge within an organization, touching on physical elements, temporal data, and collections of unstructured data. Dr. Grieves joins the podcast to explore these connections, drawing from his book Product Lifecycle Management as well as his numerous scientific publications. The trio also discusses how something Michael calls “retirementitus” prevents organizations from embracing the sweeping technologies surrounding AI and digital twins. In this episode, we mention: Dr. Michael Grieves’ book “Product Lifecycle Management: Driving the Next Generation of Lean Thinking”: https://www.amazon.com/Product-Lifecycle-Management-Generation-Thinking/dp/0071452303 Dr. Michael Grieves’ book “Digital Twins, Simulation, and the Metaverse: Driving Efficiency and Effectiveness in the Physical World through Simulation in the Virtual Worlds (Simulation Foundations, Methods and Applications): https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Twins-Simulation-Metaverse-Effectiveness/dp/3031691067 The Invisible Machines episode “Building an Advanced Digital Assistant” with Jeff McMillan (Head of AI) and David Wu (Head of Knowledge Management & Generative AI) at Morgan Stanley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iQbufK1luE&t=1567s Charles Perrow’s book “Normal Accidents: Living with High Risk Technologies: https://www.perlego.com/book/735258/normal-accidents-living-with-high-risk-technologies-updated-edition-pdf The Invisible Machines episode with Dr. Nathan Price, Chief Scientific Officer of Thorn HealthTech, and Dr. Lee Hood, a world-renowned scientist, a recipient of the National Medal of Science, and a key contributor to the human genome project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrrEu5TNqFg The Invisible Machines episode “Lean Knowledge Management” with Roger Forsgren, former Chief Knowledge Officer at NASA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4A_JiBRCr8 You can learn more about orchestrating AI agents for your team: https://onereach.ai/ai-agents/?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=digital_twins_episode&utm_content=1 #AIPodcast #TechPodcast #InvisibleMachines #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ConversationalAI #AIAgents #TechInsights #DigitalTwins #AIOrchestration #ProductManagement #TechInnovation #DataArchitecture #MichaelGrieves #FutureOfAI #TechTalk

    S4E8 Will We Ever Love Using Software?

    As AI agents continue to alter the way people interface with technology, Robb and Josh were eager to speak with journalist Matt Alston about his popular Business Insider article “Everyone hates Workday.” In this deep exploration of our multifaceted interactions with machines, Matt reminds us that Workday’s UX is different across a whole spectrum of users, and that generally speaking, people don’t like using software. The patterns we follow when operating software end up shaping our thinking, and as we move into a world dominated by conversational interfaces, it’s important to consider the way these systems are intertwined with our minds.

    S4E6 How Human Should AI Agents Really Be?

    Sophie Bushwick is a regular contributor to Science Friday on NPR and has previously worked for Scientific American and Popular Science. As the Senior News Editor at New Scientist, she joined Robb and Josh in exploring anthropomorphism and AI. Sophie’s work reminds us that our introduction to pocket computers came with the heavily anthropomorphized Tamagotchi pets of the late '90s. As we head into the era of conversational machines, Sophie brings her insights to a conversation about the pros and cons of making them human-like across a whole range of scenarios, including those geared toward productivity and entertainment. The correlations and similarities between corporations and AI pose both ethical considerations as well as design challenges, and this discussion draws on Sophie’s extensive background in technology reporting to look for answers.
