Listeners will hear real-world examples, ethical debates, and psychological insights that blur the line between comfort and code. Professor Gephardt breaks down the mechanics of AI companions —how they listen, learn, and adapt to our moods. He discusses how chatbots and mental health tools offer temporary relief while posing long-term risks of dependence. The discussion also takes a hard look at AI in wellbeing , asking whether companionship should ever be designed as a product. If you’ve ever found yourself talking to a voice assistant a little too often—or wondered if technology can make us feel less alone —this episode is for you. Engaging, funny, and grounded in real science, it’s a reminder that while AI can imitate empathy, it can’t replace the messy, irreplaceable warmth of human connection. ✨ Key Highlights How AI companions simulate emotional understanding through language models and sentiment detection The rise of social robots like ElliQ and their measurable impact on elderly wellbeing Why emotional AI can comfort but not care — and the ethical red lines designers face Psychological insights on why humans bond with machines The balance between technological support and emotional dependence A simple framework: Spot, Soothe, Stretch — how AI can help without replacing real relationships 💡 Whether you’re an AI beginner or a seasoned technologist, this episode blends science, ethics, and storytelling in a way that makes complex ideas feel human. Because the future of empathy might just depend on how we use our machines—and how much we still need each other. 🎵 Music credit: "Modern Situations" by Unicorn Heads

We dig into the art (and science) of great prompting, the power—and peril—of Neuralink-style implants, and why “trust but verify” is Bruce’s golden rule for hallucination-free insights. You’ll hear practical wins for small businesses—from AI-powered chat-bots that rescue bad restaurant reviews to HR tools that actually boost morale—and learn how global pharma giant Sanofi slashes drug-development time with full-stack AI. We examine the ethics of AI-generated college papers, the very real risk of runaway super-intelligence, and Bruce’s optimistic blueprint for keeping humanity in the driver’s seat as machines get smarter. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a curious creator, or just wondering what “BCI” even means, this episode arms you with the mindset and resources to thrive in an AI-accelerated world.

Probably my most inspiring podcast episode up until now - if you didn't listen the first time, now is a must! --- What is AGI really — and why are today's AI models not getting us there? In this thought-provoking episode, Peter Voss, CEO and Chief Scientist of Aigo.ai, joins me to explore the real meaning behind Artificial General Intelligence. Peter, who helped coin the term "AGI" back in 2001, explains why current AI systems like large language models are fundamentally on the wrong track. We dive deep into the differences between narrow AI and cognitive AI, discuss the future potential of AGI to revolutionize industries, and tackle big questions like: Could AGI actually save humanity? Peter also shares how his team is developing an AGI system that learns like a child — starting at the level of a three-year-old and advancing naturally, not through brute-force data. We talk about why today's AI funding priorities may be holding true progress back, and why the biggest threat might not be AGI itself, but misunderstanding its nature. --- To go deeper into the topic, you'll find Aigo here: ⁠ Aigo.ai⁠ And you can find Peter on ⁠ ⁠ LinkedIn⁠⁠ ! --- Tune in to get my thoughts, don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠ subscribe to our Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠ !_ Want to get in contact?

What if magic wasn’t supernatural at all, but just really advanced AI? In this episode of A Beginner’s Guide to AI , we explore the striking parallels between wizardry and artificial intelligence. Spells follow strict syntax, require precise inputs, and produce predictable results—just like algorithms. Say Wingardium Leviosa the wrong way, and nothing happens. Code it wrong, and AI refuses to work. So, are spells just another form of programming? We also dive into one of AI’s biggest challenges: forgetting. Wizards have Obliviate to erase memories instantly, but AI isn’t so lucky. Researchers have been experimenting with ways to make AI unlearn specific knowledge, even testing it by removing the Harry Potter books from a model’s training data. But does AI truly forget, or does it just learn to avoid certain topics? And if AI is our modern-day spellbook, what does that mean for the future? Be there as we break down the magic behind machine learning and ask the ultimate question: is AI just a Muggle’s way of casting spells?

SORRY, UPLOADED THE WRONG AUDIO FILE, NOT THE NATIVISM ONE - BUT NOW IT'S THE RIGHT ONE!!! Is intelligence something we’re born with, or do we learn everything from scratch? That’s not just a question for philosophers—it’s at the core of artificial intelligence today. In this episode of A Beginner’s Guide to AI , we explore the great debate between nativism and deep learning . Nativism suggests that some knowledge is built-in, like the way babies instinctively pick up language. Deep learning, on the other hand, argues that intelligence comes purely from experience—AI models don’t start with any understanding; they learn everything from massive amounts of data. We break down how this plays out in real AI systems, from AlphaZero teaching itself to play chess to GPT-4 mimicking human language without actually understanding it. And, of course, we use cake to make it all crystal clear. Tune in to get my thoughts, and don’t forget to subscribe to our Newsletter at argoberlin.com/newsletter ! Want to get in contact?

AI scams are the next big thing in criminal activity. Via email, text, WhatsApp, Call - people are trying to scam you. With the voice of your daughter, your boss or simply with pretending to be the Microsoft service member fixing your software. Whatever it is, it is not good: they want to steal your money and your identity, making then more money from you. In this episode, Dietmar interviews Yuri Dvoinos from Aura.com, a firm dedicated to preventing scams against you, your firm and your family. He gives you great tips on where to be careful and, ultimately, how to not be scammed. And, because it is so important, here are the steps to detect and prevent scam (I took the liberty to extract them from the interview, it's not official): In voice calls: - Is someone pressing for urgency? - Is there background noise in the call? In text: - Is there a link to click? In general: - Is there something related to financial details? - Does it play your greed or fear? If you are unsure, call on another channel (important!) to verify if the call/message is from the right person.

I don't go for the big solutions here, brain surgery or new therapies against Alzheimer's desease, but my idea is to create a simple AI assistant who can remember things for you: who are those people, where did I put my keys, how to find the way home - those simple things can be done by an assistant that is fixed to you like a body cam - life logging in a good way. In my opinion, this would be a solution that keeps you out of a home for at least one or two years. What do you think about it? Tune in for another of Dietmar's personal episodes!
