This week’s Synthetic Minds covers IBM’s quantum breakthrough that could outpace supercomputers by 2029, OpenAI’s privacy nightmare, humanoid couriers, deepfakes hijacking trust, and AI models bluffing as thinkers. Plus: why ethics as code still fails when your bot writes haikus about firing you.
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers why bats and bees may be better futurists than most executives. We explore AI as Hollywood’s lifeline, AGI’s wild rise, VC guts replaced by code, energy crises reengineered, and the war on truth. Can nature teach us to lead wisely in a synthetic age?
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers an urgent call to reimagine education: classrooms built for the Industrial Revolution can’t keep up with the Intelligence Age. From AI-powered tutors transforming student learning, to brain-controlled iPhones and orbital AI satellites—education’s future is here.
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers the merging of atoms, bits and genes—from solid-state battery revolutions and AI brand reps to 3D-printed repair parts and LegoGPT. Silicon Valley wants full automation. But if AI can now build, sell, and chat—what exactly is left for humans to do?
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers the future of leadership in the age of AI, featuring bird-inspired cognition, AI babysitters, emotional robots, and why Zuckerberg thinks synthetic friends beat real ones. Plus: how to lead wisely when the robots eventually show up with resumes.
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers that tools evolve faster than our wisdom: Duolingo fires humans for AI, elite group chats shape democracy, Claude powers crime, MIT maps AI’s DNA, IP law gets torched by billionaires, and why education, verification, and regulation are our last line of defense.
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers choosing imagination over AI, Google’s dolphin-whispering AI, why neglect is now an app feature, how games blur reality, China’s overlooked AI surge, and OpenAI’s race to cut corners. A wild ride through futures, ethics, and what makes us human.
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers how tech can move us from scarcity to abundance—with AI avatars in court, quantum fungi, China’s EV blitz, and the billion-job reckoning. Are you leading the future, or watching it speed by in a drone-equipped BYD? Tune in and shape what’s next.
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers the wisdom of Taoism during disruption—plus quantum randomness, AI sabotage, rebellious chatbots, weird chips, and democracy in the crossfire. From Claude’s secrets to JPMorgan’s quantum leap, we explore the strange, stunning edges of intelligence and instability.
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers the hidden cost of your digital life: quantum computing poised to crack encryption overnight, AI trained on millions of stolen books, AI agents acting without oversight, the AI arms race between the U.S. and China, and tech’s alarming environmental footprint.
