For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

1 Breaking the Chains: How Decentralized AI is Redefining Intelligence and Autonomy with David Johnston 34:17
My mind is blown. David Johnston, Code Maintainer at Morpheus , willingly took on my zany questions with the ease of an Olympic marathoner, graceful and with dogged determination. In this episode, we'll delve into the concept of decentralized AI and its profound implications for our interactions with intelligent agents. Imagine AI systems that operate with a blockchain, ensuring transparency, security, and user sovereignty. These agentic AI systems can analyze data, make decisions, and execute tasks without centralized oversight, heralding a new era of autonomy and collaboration. We'll explore how this fusion of AI and blockchain is reshaping industries, from finance to art. We’ll discuss the challenges and opportunities of decentralized AI, and envision a future where intelligent agents empower individuals, disrupt traditional systems, and redefine the boundaries of technology and creativity. Background: What Ethereum did for smart contracts, Morpheus is now doing for smart agents. The Morpheus Decentralized AI network more efficiently allocates AI compute power and enables users to engage in a ChatGPT-like interface that includes decentralized AI data routing, permissionless and censorship-resistant access to personal AIs, crypto payments for AIs, an AI marketplace, and AI images with multiple LLMs. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Let’s get a little technical today and do a deep dive into Ethereum and other blockchains. This was an educational discussion with Amir Forouzani, Co-founder & CEO, of Puffer Labs . The world, perhaps the US, is finally waking up to the power and potential of DeFi or decentralized finance. We are beginning to see what I termed in 2017 as the “Tokenization of all Assets” is starting to take shape. Now renamed RWA or Real-World Assets, it is leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize any asset, be it tangible or intangible. One of the impediments in this space has been regulatory, another purely technology. Today we will focus on the technological aspect of how Ethereum, the world’s first blockchain dedicated to smart contracts, and a platform for being the world’s computer, enables this. There are some concerns with Ethereum, which we hope to delineate here today with Amir, and some solutions, including Puffer’s product, UniFi. While Puffer is broadly recognized as a Liquid Restaking Protocol, the company has rapidly evolved into a leading innovator in Ethereum’s decentralized infrastructure. Since closing its $18 million Series A round in April 2024, Puffer has developed a clear mandate to unify the Ethereum ecosystem, addressing the longstanding fragmentation of the Ethereum network, which has been exacerbated by the ongoing proliferation of Layer 2 solutions. One of Puffer’s signature solutions, UniFi, is a based rollup to Ethereum set to transform the L2 landscape. UniFi is low-cost, capable of sub-second transactions, and allows asset withdrawal from L2 (UniFi) to L1 (Ethereum) within a minute, which is multitudes faster than any existing rollups.

We are touching on cybersecurity today. What are the latest scams and technologies that are being used to help people part ways with their assets. It's unfortunate, but staying aware and vigilant is key. We focus on how you can stop the madness once it has started, with Andy Maus, Head of Cyber Recovery Services at DriveSavers. Ransomware attacks increased by 32% from Q3 to Q4. The fourth quarter was marked by new players emerging and established groups adjusting their strategies. In 2024 alone, 55 new ransomware groups emerged — a 67% increase in group formation from the previous year — indicating a rapid proliferation of smaller, more agile players in the cybercrime ecosystem.

Today we discuss how emerging technology help help better verify someone is who they say they are. It's no easy task. Humanity Protocol, founded by Terence Kwok, is a decentralized, privacy-first digital identity blockchain, which has launch of Humanity Foundation, an initiative to advance decentralized identity technology and foster global adoption of Proof of Humanity solutions. The Foundation will be led by its founding directors, Yat Siu, Chairman of Animoca Brands, Mario Nawfal, Founder of International Blockchain Consulting, and Yeewai Chong, a seasoned investment professional from Morgan Stanley and Ortus Capital. Humanity Foundation will serve as the driving force behind Humanity Protocol’s ecosystem, with a mission to fund innovation, incentivize community growth, and explore transformative use cases for decentralized identity. At the core of Humanity Protocol is its Proof of Humanity framework, which kickstarts identity verification with privacy-preserving biometrics to establish human uniqueness. This foundational layer provides a secure and sybil-resistant way to authenticate users while preserving their privacy. Building on this biometric foundation, Humanity Protocol enables users to layer additional credentials—such as educational qualifications, employment history, and social reputation—onto their verified identity. This creates an extensible, decentralized, and open identity layer that empowers users to take ownership of their data and interact confidently across digital and physical domains. “Biometrics provide the ideal starting point for building a secure, decentralized identity system,” said Yeewai Chong, interim CEO of Humanity Foundation. “By anchoring Proof of Humanity in biometric verification, we unlock a world of possibilities for integrating diverse human attributes into a single, privacy-first identity framework.” Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

As someone who has overseen teams of customer success and service, this was a very interesting conversation. We are at a point where many of these human services can be replaced by machine. Listen to what is happening now with Dimitri Masin, CEO and Cofounder at Gradient Labs’. While AI-powered customer service isn’t new, regulated industries have been left behind due to strict compliance requirements and the high cost of mistakes. AI customer service agents can achieve 80-90% resolution rates, 75% cost savings, and a 98% quality assurance pass rate (compared to 90% for humans), outperforming both human agents and traditional bots.

This was a wonderful opportunity to speak with Holly Levanto, VP in Booz Allen’s AI practice about the current and future uses of AI. Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming military operations and strategies, offering unprecedented capabilities in areas such as surveillance, data analysis, and autonomous systems. AI-driven technologies can enhance decision-making processes, improve the precision of weaponry, and optimize logistics, leading to more efficient and effective military actions. However, the integration of AI into the military also raises ethical and security concerns, particularly regarding autonomous weapon systems and the potential for unintended consequences. As nations continue to invest in AI research and development, the future of military operations will likely be shaped by the balance between leveraging these advanced technologies and addressing the associated risks. Ultimately, the responsible use of AI in the military could lead to enhanced security and stability, but it requires careful consideration of ethical standards and international regulations. Holly Levanto brings digital, analytics, and AI capabilities to Booz Allen clients, with more than a decade of experience supporting the Department of Defense (DOD) and other U.S. federal agencies. Her background includes working to advance digital readiness, adoption, strategy, workforce, and data-driven organizational transformation. In leading the delivery of AI domains, Holly applies a breadth of expertise spanning resilience, human performance, military readiness, health, and operations. As an AI adoption lead for Booz Allen’s chief technology team, Holly oversees the delivery of advanced solutions to enable the AI and digital transformation of U.S. defense organizations. In this role, she leads acceleration of digital and AI adoption for key DOD mission commanders operating worldwide. She oversees a team that is translating new data analytics capabilities into decision advantage for the warfighter at the edge in pursuit of Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2).

Are you sleeping on the potential of NFTs? Today I had a fantastic chat with Zach Burks, CEO & Founder at Mintable . As we all know now, NFTs, or non-fungible tokens are a derivative of blockchain technology. The mania peaked in 2021 with the likes of Bored Apes and CryptoPunks, the latter is still seen as the original grail in the industry, but even Punks have dropped in value from their highs. Beyond art, we are going to dig into where NFTs are going from here with institutions adopting this nascent technology. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Today we focus on migration and technology, and the people caught in the middle. My guest, Petra Molnar, has written: The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence offers a global story of the sharpening of borders through technological experiments while also introducing strategies of togetherness across physical and ideological borders. Based on years of researching borderlands across the world, lawyer and anthropologist Petra Molnar’s The Walls Have Eyes is a truly global story—a dystopian vision turned reality, where your body is your passport and matters of life and death are determined by algorithm. Examining how technology is being deployed by governments on the world’s most vulnerable with little regulation, Molnar also shows us how borders are now big business, with defense contractors and tech start-ups alike scrambling to capture this highly profitable market.

1 Unlocking Digital Asset Value: Ledn's Crypto-Backed Loan Revolution with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo 26:57
Did you know that if you are a holder of digital assets, you can take a loan out against those tokens? Ledn is a company that offers this service. I met with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, Co-Founder and CSO of Ledn for a dynamic conversation about how this works. More about the company from CoinDesk: Cryptocurrency lending company Ledn is offering customers crypto-backed loans where all the assets remain locked up with a qualified custodian, as the company adapts its centralized finance approach to a post-FTX world. Ledn has done a brisk trade in standard loans to date, where bitcoin (BTC) posted as collateral can be further lent out to subsidize the loan. The firm has processed some $635 million of retail loans backed by Bitcoin, and over $4 billion on the institutional side. “The collateral must be held in custody, and that will always be a qualified custodian, whether that is with BitGo, or one of our banking or credit fund partners,” said Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo in an interview. “This is the first time this type of loan, which is done through a centralized entity that can offer 24 hour disbursements, is being offered outside the U.S. to international customers.” Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

If you have ever wondered what the minds behind the biggest hardware wallet are like, this is for you. What an amazing conversation with Ian Rogers, CXO at Ledger . We dove into their newest kid on the block, Ledger Stax. In this video we get our first hand-on with the device as it hits the mitts of the early adopters. From Ledger: Web3 is all about digital freedom. But with freedom comes responsibility. Put simply, a crypto wallet is an interface that allows you to access and manage your funds on a blockchain. It acts as a sort of control panel, showing you exactly how much crypto you have. Plus, it allows you to communicate with the blockchain, sending and receiving valuable digital assets. You might say that your crypto wallet is the bridge between you and your crypto funds on the blockchain. However, despite the name, a crypto wallet does not contain your coins or tokens – those stay on the blockchain itself. Rather, its purpose is to secure the all-important private keys that allow you to access your blockchain address, and everything stored there. To understand how that works, let’s first look at what a crypto wallet is for. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come! Subscribe and prepare for the new world.

I was delighted to have Gerald Heydenreich, Founder of EtherMail . In case you have not heard, interactions with NFTs, cryptocurrency, and all things blockchain can be a bit painful to control. Not anymore! Recently EtherMail launched its Email-as-a-Wallet (EaaW) solution, enabling users to create non-custodial wallets through Gmail or Apple accounts in under one minute – broadening the accessibility of blockchain-based applications and services to billions of users worldwide who currently don’t have a digital wallet. EtherMail has over 500,000 users and announced a $4 million funding round led by the powerhouse of Tim Draper and Draper Associates last year. Email-as-a-wallet provides a familiar and easy entry point for users to explore the Web3 space, and seamlessly buy, send and receive digital assets, while circumventing the steep Web3 learning curve. Email as a wallet includes a ‘know what you sign’ feature, allowing users to review transaction details as an email before signing the transaction.

This company is one of the OG in the industry. I really enjoyed this conversation with Daniel Fogg, CEO at RootstockLabs . We met at the recent Consensus conference in Austin. Their combination of history with Bitcoin and what they are doing to build decentralized applications by bringing Ethereum smart contracts to Bitcoin. This will only better grow the ecosystem for years to come. From the company: RootstockLabs is led by our mission to give developers the tools to build on Bitcoin, support the growth of the Rootstock ecosystem, and expand the frontiers of decentralized technology. Our History In 2009, Bitcoin made financial transactions without intermediaries possible for the first time, treating all users as equals. From early in its journey, members of RootstockLabs were already contributing to Bitcoin’s development. In 2015, the Rootstock Whitepaper was published by a group of Argentinian engineers and entrepreneurs as a way to solve real problems with an economy that was failing them. Launched as the first Bitcoin sidechain, Rootstock brought Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities to Bitcoin for the first time, while making transactions cheaper, faster, and more scalable. In 2017, RootstockLabs was born from our belief that Rootstock would be critical for Bitcoin to reach civilization scale. In 2019, we launched the Rootstock Infrastructure Framework (RIF), a set of decentralized protocols that make it easier, faster and more rewarding for developers to build cutting edge products and services on Bitcoin using Rootstock. Today, Rootstock is home to a thriving ecosystem of apps and services that are cryptographically, philosophically and economically aligned to Bitcoin. RootstockLabs exists to serve the growing community building on Bitcoin using Rootstock and RIF technology. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Today we dive into the implications, considerations, and possibilities of open-source generative AI systems! One question that looms for many is could Open-source AI help, hinder or simple coexist with a closed system. As you likely know open-sourced approaches, have democratized access to software, ensured transparency, and improved security for decades, but can it have a similar impact on AI? My fantastic guests today are Alison Smith, Director of Generative AI, and Geoff Schaefer, Chief Technologist and lead of Booz Allen’s responsible AI practice. The goal of the discussion was to dissect the balance between collaboration and control, legal ramifications, ethical considerations, and innovation barriers as the AI industry seeks to democratize the development of large language models.

This was an extremely refreshing conversation with Anurag Dhingra, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Engineering at Webex by Cisco. He has a deeply technical background and has risen through the ranks to focus on the importance about generative AI in the workplace. In today’s tech-dependent world, Cisco notes the importance of delivering tech with integrity and purpose, and the need to understand and account for both the "benefits and bewares" across privacy, security and human rights. It is important for organizations to consider the important risks and issues and create a corporate culture that embraces generative AI ethics. We delved into how companies can encourage their employees to embrace generative AI and he explains the “benefits and bewares”. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

This was an amazing conversation with Tobias Dengel, President of WillowTree . We deep dive into the impact of voice on all digital technology both now and what is right around the corner. This is weighty stuff. Dengel has a fascinating argument that voice technology is poised to drastically alter the way we live and how companies do business. He says it’s a shift as fundamentally important as mobile a decade ago and the Internet in the late ’90s. Dengel is at the forefront of this breakthrough and works with some of the best-known brands in the world such as T Mobile, Mastercard, Capital One, HBO, Fox, and more, designing and developing their websites, apps, internal systems and voice interfaces. He understands voice technology's profound, wide-ranging implications for every industry and counsels leaders about how their companies must adapt to the coming age of voice. During a brief, Dengel can explain how the “voice-first” experience is becoming part of the global technology mainstream, exploring the ways voice will do a better job of serving basic human needs like speed, safety, inclusion, and more. His book, The Sound of the Future: The Coming Age of Voice Technology, is out now. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come! Subscribe and prepare for the new world.

1 Glass Beakers and Glass Ceilings: Cracking the STEM Gender Code with Monica Eaton at Chargebacks911 28:06
Today we investigate what I think is a striking lack of women represented in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, especially the FinTech sector. With only 8% of leadership roles in FinTech companies held by women, I spend some time with Monica Eaton, Founder of LIFT to understand what might be happening, and more importantly what we can do to change this dynamic. Monica Eaton is the owner, cofounder & COO of Chargebacks911 , a FinTech company that helps merchants in 87 countries eliminate payment theft, prevent chargeback fraud and stop cyber-shoplifting. Since 2011, Chargebacks911 has successfully protected over 10 billion online transactions, and has recovered $1+ billion in disputed and/or stolen revenue for its clients. An industry trailblazer and leading advocate for expanded opportunities for women, Monica is the founder of LIFT, a nonprofit mentorship program that partners the next generation of women in STEM / Tech with established women executives from Microsoft, Chargebacks911, and more. LIFT is a free mentorship program that seeks to bridge the gap between established women in the industry, and those who are still trying to find their way. This meeting is a chance for the two to sit down and discuss the mentee’s unique situation. The mentor can provide actionable, specific advice that will serve to help the mentee advance her career. Participants are asked to identify the professional challenge they are facing. This can range from interview advice, to making a big career move, or navigating through difficult workplace conversations. Once they have submitted a request, a virtual meeting is arranged with a mentor. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come! Subscribe and prepare for the new world.

At Quantum World Congress, I met with Dr. Kristin Milchanowski who is the Global Quantum Leader for EY to discuss what the landscape of quantum is today. The way Kristin sees this space, is that she recognizes that not everyone can afford to invest in experimental quantum hardware. Their broader goal is to democratize quantum, and EY has been testing and curating an ecosystem of vendors who are entering the market in droves — just in the last two years they have seen 800 new vendors come through. A client can work with EY and have access to the very best in all these disciplines without spending a lot of money, because they have already done the trial and error. As EY Global Innovation Quantum Leader, she focuses her time and energy on quantum research projects including portfolio optimization, anomaly detection, sustainable energy demand planning, and DNA sequencing and drug discovery, as well as the more defensive cybersecurity efforts. Today, their team really focuses on quantum sensing since it’s on a “now” time horizon – this is advanced sensor technology that yields extreme accuracy for a wide range of applications, from developing more reliable geolocation systems, more accurate medical diagnostic imaging and safer autonomous vehicles. About a quarter of her time is spent on educating people within EY and externally about what quantum is all about. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

AI is the topic du jour, and for good reason. According to my guest today, it will undoubtedly impact all of us fairly dramatically in the next few years. I am fortunate to have the author of "Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us? A layperson's guide to the concepts, math and pitfalls of AI. We discuss all scenarios of AI - no real impact, some pretty interesting impacts, and then then end of times. Artificial intelligence is everywhere—it’s in our houses and phones and cars. AI makes decisions about what we should buy, watch, and read, and it won’t be long before AI’s in our hospitals, combing through our records. Maybe soon it will even be deciding who’s innocent, and who goes to jail . . . But most of us don't understand how AI works. We hardly know what it is. In Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us?, AI expert Kenneth Wenger deftly explains the complexity at AI’s heart, demonstrating its potential and exposing its shortfalls. Wenger empowers readers to answer the question—What exactly is AI?—at a time when its hold on tech, society, and our imagination is only getting stronger.

Today I got into it with Jonathan Taplin, Director Emeritus, Annenberg Innovation Lab at USC (University of Southern California) . He and I have pretty different perspectives on AI, blockchain, and technology in general and where it is taking us as a society. Jonathan was the founder and first director of USC Annenberg’s Innovation Lab. Long before that, he managed tours for Bob Dylan and the Band; produced movies, among them Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets; became the VP for media mergers and acquisitions at Merrill Lynch; created a pioneering video-on-demand service; and is now chairman of the Americana Music Foundation. Taplin wrote one of the earliest tech-critical books, MOVE FAST AND BREAK THINGS, in 2017. Now he is back with another incisive assessment of Silicon Valley. In THE END OF REALITY: How Four Billionaires are Selling a Fantasy Future of The Metaverse, Mars, and Crypto (September 5, 2023), Taplin explains how tech billionaires Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreesen are distracting us from the very real problems facing the world today—income inequality, climate change, and failing democracy—with schemes that are totally divorced from reality: the metaverse, cryptocurrency, space travel, and transhumanism. Taplin provides perceptive insight into the personal backgrounds and cultural power of these billionaires and shows how their tech monopolies have brought middle-class wage stagnation, the hollowing out of many American towns, a radical increase in income inequality, and unbounded public acrimony. Meanwhile, the enormous amount of taxpayer money to be funneled into the dystopian ventures of “The Four,” the benefits of which will accrue to the elite, exacerbates these disturbing trends. Taplin illustrates the technocratic movement as part of a broader antidemocratic, authoritarian turn, whose proponents spout libertarian principles while feeding at the public trough for the billions to help finance their schemes. He advocates replacing the warped worldview of these billionaires with a vision of regenerative economics that seeks to build a sustainable society with healthy growth and full employment. This is a book that speaks to the breaking news about AI that’s happening every day (Taplin was interviewed this summer about AI and the Hollywood strike and about Meta’s launch of Threads), but also takes a long historical look at these technologies’ cultural and sociological importance. Why are we so taken with these billionaires’ ideas—and what is our obsession distracting us from? Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Today, I spoke with Karn Saroya, Co-founder and CEO, at Re . This is an area that I was very interested in learning more about as the company Re is essentially a 'decentralized Lloyds of London'. Reinsurance transfers the risk from one insurance company to another to reduce the likelihood of a large payout. The reinsurer will receive a cut of the insurance premiums but will also bear a portion of the losses when a claim is made. Built on the Avalanche blockchain, Re enables reinsurance brokers to bring business to clients via the protocol. Distributed syndicates on the protocol will be able to underwrite the claims. Syndicates can earn yield in return for supplying capital. Members will also be able to earn yield by supplying capital to an index of insurance programs across a range of industries. This will be separated into different tranches, and the member pool will be the senior tranche, according to the whitepaper. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Their vision is a world where everyone has access to basic economic assets and financial products that are inclusive by design. On the heels of the Sam Altman’s Worldcoin token release, and lines of orb gazing participants, we discuss what universal basic income (UBI) looks like, how people can maintain their privacy, and how future identity management works in Web3. GoodDollar has a novel and important approach to this burgeoning and increasingly important space. Anna has an amazing perspective on all of this and she shares her thoughts with us today.

Tech Snippets Today with Joseph Raczynski
1 Ledger Lawyers: Navigating the Cryptic Maze of Blockchain, KYC, and Cybersecurity with Justin Daniels at Baker Donelson 26:36
Baker Donelson has always been at the tip of the spear when it comes to their focus on blockchain and other digital assets in legal. Today, I spoke with Justin Daniels, Shareholder, Corporate M&A Technology Attorney and all around NFT, blockchain, and cybersecurity guru. Those are my words, not his. What I enjoyed about the discussion was Justin's focus on the importance of cybersecurity for all emerging technologies as they develop, not as an afterthought. We touch on the FTX fiasco, ChatGPT, and the future of identity. Baker has a practice group called the Blockchain and Digital Assets Technology where attorneys offer clients multi-disciplinary representation in the growing area of blockchain and digital asset technology, including corporate and business matters, securities, Anti-Money Laundering and Know-Your-Customer (AML/KYC), money transmitter, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), cybersecurity, privacy, intellectual property, litigation, government relations, and public policy. Clients benefit from working with a group that understands the underlying technology to help frame the legal issues affecting blockchain and digital assets, enabling them to collaborate to develop thoughtful, effective business solutions.
