Episode #15 - Executive Order on AI Part 2

In this episode I cover the second section of the new executive order on AI released by the Biden Administration. This gets particularly interesting as this section covers how government agencies will utilize AI and how the executive branch will enforce and oversee that usage...or not. Spoiler alert: your data is still probably not safe.

Episode #14 - Executive Order on AI - Part 1

In this episode, I break down the recent executive order issued by the Biden Administration regarding the safe development, deployment, and use of AI systems. The EO actually covers way too many things to go through in great detail, let alone in one episode. In this episode, I will discuss and dive into only the first main section of the EO. While I'll be using the fact sheet - basically the Cliffs Notes version - you can find that or the full EO at the White House website: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/10/30/fact-sheet-president-biden-issues-executive-order-on-safe-secure-and-trustworthy-artificial-intelligence/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/10/30/executive-order-on-the-safe-secure-and-trustworthy-development-and-use-of-artificial-intelligence/

Episode #13 - Election Cycles and CapEx

In this episode I dive into whether or not election cycles are affecting how people are spending in general, but specifically how they are purchasing capital equipment. There's a little bit of not-so-useful science in there, but also a lot of experience and observable data. It's short and sweet!

Mental Fitness Series - Part 1 - Defining Mental Fitness

In this episode I discuss the basics behind mental fitness as well as defining the two key aspects of it. This is foundational to forming a good starting point and knowing just what it is I'm going to be talking about. While it might seem obvious, I suggest you don't skip this episode. It will be vital to understanding everything else going forward.

Episode #12 - Robots are Taking Your Job!

In this episode I discuss whether robots and automation are truly taking peoples' jobs. The short answer is probably pretty obvious, but I share some actual data that highlights how we can misinterpret how many jobs are actually being replaced, while still noting a need to define what it means to be "replaced".  Sources: https://news.byu.edu/intellect/robots-are-taking-over-jobs-but-not-at-the-rate-you-might-think-says-byu-research?0000016b-9611-db18-a16f-971de1d00000-page=2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23780231221131377
