AI Now!

Shadow AI is here. Employees are already using tools like ChatGPT and Claude at work, often without approval. In this episode of AI Now!, Bella and Mike discuss the risks of unmanaged AI, why banning it doesn't work, and how businesses can securely embrace AI while protecting sensitive data.

In this episode, we move away from the high-level philosophy of consciousness to a raw, practical wake-up call for business leaders. Mike and Bella use the rapid disruption of the lawn care and pool maintenance industries as a case study for why companies cannot afford to "wait and see" when it comes to AI.

In this episode, Mike Stute and Bella explore David Rosenthal's mirror theory, John Searle's Chinese Room, and why the tech we build today isn't happening in a vacuum.

This episode talks about the science and philosophy about consciousness.  There isn't a clear definition just yet, but we'll need one sooner than we think. Mike and Bella discuss Global Workspace Theory and Integrated Information Theory.

In this episode of AI Now!, Bella and Mike break down why simulating a single biological cell is exponentially harder than building today’s AI models. From real-world research at the Max Planck Institute to the challenges of modeling neural connectivity, they explore the gap between language-based AI and the true complexity of life — and what it will take to close it.

Follow Mike Stute and Bella into this AI Now! episode, as they address the critics of machine conscious and how it will happen, just not on the path we are following...

In this episode of AI Now!, Bella and AI expert, Mike Stute, introduces the work of John Searle and his argument that machines can't be conscious.

In this episode, Bella and Mike break down why AI is advancing faster in coding than in creative or legal work, and what that reveals about the future of development. Unpack the rise of the agentic loop , how sandboxed self-testing works, and why companies must rethink security, infrastructure, and IP in an era of autonomous code generation.

In this episode of AI Now!, Bella and Mike Stute bring back Christian Jones to deep dive into changing the software development life cycle (SDLC) in creating BudApp. Tune in to have all of your awaited questions answered!

This week on AI Now!, Bella welcomes Christian Jones. He is the audiobook narrator behind Mike Stute's novel, Noise - Sounding the Gap , and the unexpected creator of a fully launched mobile app built without writing a single line of code. Christian breaks down how he uses AI as a “digital boardroom,” orchestrating tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to turn vision into reality!

AI Now! is back! This first episode of the new year shines a light on the decline of the traditional coding system. Listen in on Mike Stute and Bella discuss the death of coders as we know it!

In this last part of our Agentic AI series, Mike and Bella unveil the ultimate, mind-bending conclusion to our series: the "Ephemeral Workforce." Meet the AI that doesn't just manage a team, it  creates its own expert workforce on demand  and then deletes it the moment the job is done. This is the future of agile, intelligent, and instantaneous execution.

Mike and Bella move beyond single agents to explore the next frontier: entire teams of small, specialized AI agents. Discover how a "manager" AI can assemble its own internal department of experts (specialists in legal, finance, and tech) to tackle complex business challenges like digital transformation and strategic market analysis.

With this episode, we start our AI Now! Agentic Series. Mike Stute and Bella reveal a groundbreaking, real-world experiment where two AIs, a Buyer and a Seller, autonomously negotiated a complex, three-quarters-of-a-million-dollar business contract from start to finish.

AI expert, Mike Stute, and Bella discuss using Agentic AI for workflow automations.

AI expert, Mike Stute, and Bella discuss the new complications and abilities that come with AI Agents.

From Mike Stute and Bella discussing how AI deepfakes are leading to tailored realities, we raise a new question: What about the hard absolute, undeniable truth as told from your digital footprint?

Mike Stute and Bella tackle the moral and legal issues of "terminating" AI that is very much like us.

Mike Stute and Bella discuss the speculative tech in Mike's new novel, Noise: Sounding the Gap . Is this tech real or not? Far or future? Possible or just a dream?

Mike Stute dives deeper into his novel, Noise: Sounding the Gap , and how advanced AI actively orchestrates the world around us.

Mike Stute focuses on the blurring of man and machine, a theme in the novel. He discusses how humans can become more machine like through augmentation reality, and machines become more human through learning.

Mike Stute speaks about his new novel, Noise: Sounding the Gap .
