Possible: Should we give AI a bank account?
This week, we're sharing something from our friends over at Possible. In this episode of Possible, Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger talk with Sean Neville, co-founder of Circle and architect of USDC, about building the financial infrastructure for an AI-driven economy. Now leading Catena Labs, Neville is working on what he calls the first AI-native bank—designed for autonomous agents that can transact, comply, and interact without humans in the loop. The conversation explores what breaks when AI tries to use today’s financial rails, why stablecoins may power machine-to-machine commerce, and why new concepts like “Know Your Agent” could become the foundation of trust in an AI financial system.For more info on the podcast and transcripts of all the episodes, visit https://www.possible.fm/podcast/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I gave AI a year of my life: tech journalist Joanna Stern
It’s not easy to cover AI as a reporter when the technology moves so fast. Joanna Stern’s approach: learn by doing. For one year, the longtime Wall Street Journal tech reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist embedded AI into every corner of her life: her doctor's office, her kids' toys, even her romantic relationships. (Her wife approved the last one.) Stern chronicles the experience in her new book, I Am Not a Robot, a perspective on consumer AI that's equal parts honest, funny, and hopeful. On this Pioneers of AI episode, Stern shares what her year with AI actually taught her.Learn more about Pioneers of AI: http://pioneersof.ai/Follow Pioneers of AI on all channels: https://linktr.ee/pioneersofaiSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

ChatGPT doesn’t want you to email your ex
The rhetoric around AI tends to swing between doomerism and idealism, but the reality is much more nuanced. In this special live episode, Pioneers of AI turns the tables; MIT Sloan professor Sinan Aral interviews host Rana el Kaliouby and gets her candid perspective on the current state of AI. Dr. el Kaliouby makes the case for human-centric artificial intelligence that augments humans, rather than replace them. She also speaks frankly on the risks of a male dominated startup landscape, defends why AI needs EQ, and shares a piece of uncharacteristically critical advice she received from ChatGPT.

SXSW Keynote: Humanize AI before it dehumanizes us, with Dr. Rana el Kaliouby
AI is moving fast. But are we really keeping humans at the center? In this special live Rapid Response, recorded on stage at South by Southwest, host Bob Safian sits down with AI scientist, founder of Affectiva, investor at Blue Tulip, and host of Pioneers of AI, Dr. Rana el Kaliouby. El Kaliouby makes the case that human-centric AI isn't just a safety guardrail; it's the key to thriving socially, economically, and emotionally. She also cuts through the noise on the buzziest AI myths, weighs in on AI in therapy and Meta Glasses, and draws a sharp line between AI founders who are truly visionary and those who are simply opportunistic.
