The AI Report Live

I've said this before, and I'll say it again:AI isn't smart, it's fast.It can't "take" your job, especially if you're staying on top of things. Yes, there's a steep learning curve to using generative AI. But if we're honest, that curve is less about the technology and more about the fact that humans are just naturally obstinate creatures.To help drive this point home, we're on with Ray Hayden, Senior instructional designer at the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM to its friends), who shares his thoughts on why it can be hard to learn something new, and why the success of AI is impossible without the human touch.

On this week's news roundup: Hugging Face has a major security breach, Microsoft lays the groundwork for a future cyber security disaster, and the OpenAI/Google whistleblower saga continues.

Though AI gets thrown around a lot, the reality is the underlying architecture has been around for a LONG time. Specifically, predictive analytics has been a lynchpin of everything from economics and farming, to baseball and video games. One of the most important, and lesser known, implementations is the U.S. college admissions process. Over the last few decades, the cost of higher education in the United States has skyrocketed (with no signs of slowing down). Much of this has to do with predictive analytics and the business of "strategic enrollment management". That is, the science of maximizing students applications while minimizing financial aid. We're on with Alan Katzman, founder of Social Assurity, on how he's watching the data flow from students to college, his experience around the metrics that dictate who gets how much for college, and his thoughts on how AI is primed to upend the entire system.

This week's news roundup continues the Sam Altman and OpenAI saga, and bring Elon Musk back into our collective consciousness.

Origin Wifi CCO Tony Nicolaidis discusses the innovative use of wifi sensing technology for security and daycare services. Dr. Ray Liu's invention of Wi-Fi sensing technology for tracking human activities is highlighted. The podcast explores the potential of Wi-Fi sensing in areas like home security, healthcare, and ISP services. Additionally, the conversation delves into the growth, transition, hiring, and future predictions in technology and AI, as well as the use of AI in smart homes for enhanced security and efficiency.

This week's recap is entirely focused on AI safety, or possibly the lack thereof.

Generative AI is everywhere, it's the new thing we all can't stop talking about, no matter how much the reasonable people around me ask me to. But despite how dominant it is, it's not the end all, be all. Generative AI probably isn't taking your job, and it's almost certainly not going to take over the world. At worst, it's going to give you something new to have to learn, and at best, it'll be a massive boost in your productivity. So why is it so hard for us to just... chill?  Ash Garner, Co-Founder of tomoro, is on today giving us his perspective on while almost every business has a use for AI, successful integration relies on focusing on the problem to be solved rather than an abstract need to "stay ahead".
