AI Inside

Liz Reid, Google's VP of Search, told us in our interview that personalizing your search results could actually help small publishers get discovered instead of burying them in AI answers.

Her argument: when search knows what you care about, it can surface the niche reviewer or local shop that generic results would never show you.

Do you buy it?

I sat down with Cohere's Chief AI Officer Joelle Pineau just days after the US government forced Anthropic to pull its two most powerful models offline worldwide.

Her take is that access to frontier AI "can be turned off really quickly," which makes the case for services like Cohere that offer a selection of options.

Joelle Pineau is outspoken about her belief in sovereign AI, and we talk all about that at a time when the very concept is being tested globally.

So here's my question for you: if a government can switch off the best AI overnight, does that change which tools you'd build your work on? Tell me in the comments.

Ben Goertzel joined Jeff Jarvis and me to discuss why he believes AGI is a "real thinking machine" that can generalize beyond its own programming. Ben argues that LLMs alone won't get us there and is looking toward 2029 as the feasible year for human level AI.

When do you think we will see a system that can truly solve problems it was never programmed for?

This one is a little different!

I sat down with storyteller and creator Bill Meeks to dig into Everly Heights, the fictional town he has been building for years, and how he is using AI to finally pull more of that world into reality.

We talk about what Everly Heights actually is, why nostalgia sits at the center of every story he tells there, and how tools like ComfyUI, Suno, and Elevenlabs fit into his process without taking over the creative part.

If you are curious about using AI to support long form storytelling, or you just want to see how Bill turned a simple headshot of me into a full Everly Heights character inside ComfyUI, I think you will get a lot out of this conversation. It is honest about the fun parts and the uncomfortable parts, including how his kids and their art school friends feel about AI in general.

I would love to hear what you think. Are you using any of these tools in your own creative projects, or are you still on the fence about AI in your workflow?

Just dropped a new episode of AI Inside that I am really excited about.

Jeff Jarvis and I sat down with Charles Lamanna, one of the key people driving Microsoft’s AI strategy, to talk about Agent 365 and the idea of AI coworkers inside tools like Teams and Microsoft 365. We dig into what these agents can actually do, how companies will keep them from going off the rails, and who is responsible when an AI teammate makes a bad call.

Would you trust an AI coworker with real responsibilities at your job yet, or does that still sound a little too risky?

(And yes, tomorrow there will be our usual Wednesday news episode in the feed.)

I'm going out on a limb here: This channel is full of people who CARE about AI, the news, the tools, and everything in between.

So starting today, I'm going to lean into this channel as a source for all things AI.

You are used to getting the AI Inside podcast every Wednesday for the news.

Now I want to bring hands-on experience with the AI tools we talk about to you all. Starting with today's video. Here's my experience with the cool AI storyboarding tool called Higgsfield Popcorn.

Expect more like this in the weeks and months ahead. Taking AI Inside to the next level!

Hey all. This morning's live show is being postponed until tomorrow. I'm at the vet with my dog who swallowed a toy, so it's a pressing issue! I will add the live stream to the channel soon so be on the lookout for the event!
