episode How to AI artwork

How to AI

In this episode, The Wall Street Journal tech columnist Christopher Mims and SRI Education’s Susan Patrick discuss how AI can strengthen human agency. Drawing from his new book How to AI, Mims shares how experts are leveraging AI to improve productivity, share knowledge, and strengthen workflows. Patrick translates these cross-industry insights into what they mean for education. As student AI use accelerates, what must education rethink? Where can AI advance education outcomes and where should it be avoided? This vital conversation examines what it means to design jobs and classrooms where AI enhances critical thinking rather than replaces it.

episode The future of defense technologies artwork

The future of defense technologies

How is venture-backed innovation changing the nature of military technology development? What sectors are bridging the gap between cutting-edge innovation and military capabilities? And how are emerging technologies reshaping the future of warfare and global security? John Markoff, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter and author of several books on technology, discussed these questions and more in a dynamic conversation with California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, Christopher Kirchhoff (head of AI strategy and global security at Scale AI and Defense Innovation Unit [https://www.diu.mil/] advisor), and Raj M. Shah (managing partner of Shield Capital and executive chairman and co-founder of Resilience). Kirchhoff and Shah are the co-authors of Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley are Transforming the Future of War [https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Unit-X/Raj-M-Shah/9781668031391]. This conversation is deeply relevant as dual-use technology moves from the periphery to the center of national security strategy, with implications for California’s economy, America’s defense posture, and global stability.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
