    What if AI controlled your money? This crypto pioneer is creating the answer

    MARS Magazine Podcast Ep. 73: In this episode, Adario Strange speaks with Sean Neville, the co-founder of Circle.com (the company behind the USDC stablecoin) and founder of Catena Labs, a bold new startup helping AI agents use crypto to work for humans. Neville takes us from his early tech days at Macromedia to the birth of Circle, sharing how USDC went from an experiment to a cornerstone of the global crypto economy. We dig into the big questions: What is a stablecoin, really? How will “AI money” change the way machines and people interact? And should governments even try to compete in the stablecoin space? This is a front-row look at the collision of finance, technology, and intelligence.

    AI cheating has invaded education, but author and professor Sarah Chardonnens has a smarter solution

    Hundred Year Podcast Ep. 68. In this episode, Adario Strange is joined by Sarah Chardonnens, the author of the new book “The Learning Revolution: AI’s Influence on Intelligence and Education.” Chardonnens used her Ph.D. in Learning Sciences to exhaustively research and brilliantly explain the emergence of AI in education, from high school up to the top universities, and how this change will impact the very future of education.  Later, the two also tackle some of the latest AI news stories, including how Duolingo recently made waves by declaring a new AI policy on its staffing as it seeks to teach humans various languages. Finally, Strange and Chardonnens address the idea that a humanities education may soon be coming back into vogue as STEM degrees face the reality that AI will increasingly execute coding previously done by humans, forcing educators to revamp a broad range of foundational learning at the university level.  Guest website: sarahchardonnens.ch/en Subscribe to our newsletter!
