August 11, 2025 | Energy Hungry AI, Cybersecurity, and a United Airlines Mishap

Digital Transformation for the week of August 10, 2025, brings you the latest in Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Ubiquitous Computing, plus a personal twist from host Dr. Darren Pulsipher. Darren kicks off with a United Airlines tech meltdown that left him stranded and missing a key business trip—only to end the week with a surprisingly wakeful movie night with Paige. In between, we explore the launch of GPT-5 and its ripple effects on education, archaeology, and infrastructure; urgent cybersecurity updates from CISA; and the mounting energy demands of AI-driven data centers. Darren also shares insights on how AI is reshaping business innovation and technology adoption as he prepares to teach his upcoming cloud computing class at Vanderbilt University.
