How to Get to AGI
Sep 15, 2025 24 min<p>What will it actually take to get to AGI? Today we unpack the “jagged frontier” of AI capabilities — systems that can dazzle at PhD-level reasoning one moment but stumble on high school math the next. We look at Demis Hassabis’ timeline and critique of current models, the debate over whether today’s AI really operates at PhD level, and why continual learning and memory remain the missing breakthroughs. We also explore how coding agents, real-world usage data, and persistent context may become critical steps on the road to AGI. Finally, in headlines: lawsuits over AI search, Apple leadership changes, OpenAI’s renegotiated deal with Microsoft, and layoffs at xAI.</p><p><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p>KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

What AI Backlash at YouTube Can Teach Other Companies
Aug 26, 2025 23 min<p>Today we're covering the AI backlash at YouTube and Netflix's new rules for generative AI in content production. YouTube creators are angry after the platform secretly used AI to enhance their videos without asking, making content look artificially sharpened and potentially training viewers to accept AI-generated material. Netflix just released clear guidelines for AI use in production, setting boundaries around copyright, talent consent, and approval processes. These stories show how the debate is moving from whether companies will use AI to how they should use it responsibly.<br><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p>KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

The Problem of AI That Seems Alive
Aug 24, 2025 23 min<p>Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of AI at Microsoft and co-founder of DeepMind, has published a provocative essay warning about the dangers of “seemingly conscious AI.” On today’s Big Think edition of The AI Daily Brief, we explore his argument that as AI systems develop memory, personality, and the illusion of subjective experience, people may begin treating them as conscious beings—with profound consequences for society, law, and human identity. We dig into Suleyman’s case for why this illusion matters more than the question of whether AI is actually conscious, the risks of model welfare debates, and why industry norms may need to change now.<br><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p>KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

No, 95% of AI Pilots Aren't Failing
Aug 22, 2025 30 min<p>Today, we're breaking down the MIT study claiming 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing - and why this headline is misleading the entire market. The report, based on just 52 interviews and 150 survey responses, has been cited as a reason for AI stock crashes, but the methodology is deeply flawed and the findings are being wildly misinterpreted. What the study actually reveals is that while individual employees are getting massive value from AI tools (90% use LLMs regularly vs only 40% of companies buying subscriptions), organizations are struggling with implementation - not because the technology doesn't work, but because of leadership buy-in, poor change management, and organizational dysfunction.<br><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p>KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

Is Pixel 10 the AI Phone iPhone Never Was?
Aug 22, 2025 26 min<p>Google's Pixel 10 delivers the AI phone features Apple promised but never shipped. While Apple continues to struggle with delayed and underwhelming AI rollouts, Google has just launched its most AI-integrated smartphone yet, featuring Magic Q (an agentic assistant that searches through your apps), visual overlays for live camera AI queries, tone-detecting Gemini Live, and advanced photo editing capabilities. The device runs on Google's new Tensor G5 chip with a 60% more powerful AI core, allowing all features to run on-device, making this a complete overhaul of their flagship to be truly AI-first.

What AI Builders Are Actually Excited About
Aug 20, 2025 26 min<p>Are we really witnessing the "most expensive flop in tech history" with AI, or is something else going on? While headlines scream about failed AI pilots and wasted billions, there's a massive disconnect between public narratives and what's actually happening in AI development. This episode dives into the recent wave of AI pessimism following GPT-5's launch, explores why 95% of corporate AI pilots are reportedly failing, and examines the growing divide between Silicon Valley's AGI obsession and practical AI applications that could transform daily life. But here's the real story: while markets panic and media declares AI dead, builders are making breakthrough progress on memory systems, world models like Genie 3, and mysterious new models like "Nano Banana" that are quietly revolutionizing what's possible. <br><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p>KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

Can AI Predict the Future?
Aug 20, 2025 25 min<p>A breakthrough benchmark is testing whether AI can actually predict future events by analyzing real-world data. Researchers at the University of Chicago just launched Profit Arena, a new AI evaluation platform that measures "predictive intelligence" by having models forecast outcomes on live prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket. Early results show AI models like GPT-4 and Claude are already performing as well as or better than human forecasters, with some models finding real market edges - like one AI that correctly predicted a Toronto FC soccer win when the market only gave it 11% odds. This represents a major shift from traditional saturated benchmarks toward dynamic, real-world testing that could reshape how we measure AI progress.<br /><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p>KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.
