Hi everyone, I'm John Seymour, the host of
The JMOR Tech Talk Show and Inspirations
for Your Life.
(00:50):
Hey guys, good evening, it is John Seymour,
your serial entrepreneur.
You're tuned into The JMOR Tech Talk
Show.
So, that means that it's another Friday, and
ladies and gentlemen, this is our first, actually
our second Friday, I should say, of August.
It's August 8th, 2025, and you are watching
The JMOR Tech Talk Show.
(01:10):
First of all, a big welcome everyone, if
this is your first time with us, a
big welcome to you.
If you're coming back, well, I want to
say welcome back.
Thank you so much for being here.
Really means a lot when you decide to
tune into my content and make it be
a viable part of your life to improve
it.
Thank you so very much for making that
choice.
And some good news, ladies and gentlemen, so
(01:32):
we're going to be testing out our new
equipment, actually.
We have a show we're doing later on,
when we test your equipment out on that.
And so, next Friday, we'll be doing the
The JMOR Tech Talk Show on my brand
new laptop.
I've got a brand new laptop here, and
it's really cool, very, very powerful.
The sound on it's amazing, not that that
(01:52):
affects you guys, but it's really, really amazing.
And I'll talk about a lot of that
on the tech show and some of the
gadgets I have with it.
It is one of the highest powered AI
laptops you can buy today from Lenovo.
All right, guys, if you have not checked
out BelieveMeAchieved.com, what are you waiting for?
Go ahead and check that out after the
show, that is.
By the way, I have my RO water.
(02:13):
You'll see me or hear me slurping some
water, nice ice cold water.
And feel free to get some yourself, whether
that's from the kitchen, maybe you want something
hot, something cold.
I don't know if you want something hot
right now.
But you could be watching this program in
the winter, who knows?
Maybe you want something sweet, maybe you want
something tart, or maybe you want something crunchy.
(02:34):
I don't know, whatever that is.
Feel free to get that.
It could be nuts, could be something sweet,
whatever.
Grab that and head on back here to
our show.
Incidentally, today's show topic is a really good
one.
You're ready for it?
I know I am.
Robot dogs, striking workers, and banned YouTube.
Tech just got, how can I say, no
(02:55):
pun intended, real.
All right, guys, it's always getting real in
the tech world every single week.
We really do stir some stuff up.
And I give you the truth about what's
out there in technology.
I'm not trying to sell you anything here
on the show.
I just want to give you the truth
so you can make the right decisions in
your life.
So again, a big welcome to everyone to
(03:16):
another powerful episode of The JMOR Tech
Talk Show.
And if you didn't know who I am,
well, I'm John C.
Moore.
I'm a serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video
producer, graduate student, passionate educator, and enthusiast of
learning.
And I bring you the biggest breakthroughs, the
shakeups, and the shocks in the world of,
(03:37):
yes, technology.
This week, I'm diving into 14 stories that
will leave you amazed, concerned, and maybe even
a little inspired.
So you're ready?
Let's kick this off, everyone, and let's get
started.
All right.
So a really interesting one is AI exports
(03:58):
are getting blocked as billions are lost.
Thousands of US export licenses are frozen due
to dysfunction in the commerce department, halting billions
in AI chip shipments to China.
Now, this massive backlog is shaking, well, global
tech markets and raising some serious questions about
(04:19):
America's competitiveness.
Yeah, that's a really, really interesting one that
I know we want to dive, I should
say, just a little bit deeper in.
And I think it's something that scares some
people, right?
So thousands, not hundreds, thousands of US export
(04:40):
licenses applications were stalled due to the internal
dysfunction of the commerce department's BIS, Bureau of
Industry and Security, the BIS, leaving billions of
dollars in shipments on the table, including high
profile AI chips to China in, well, in
a word, limbo.
Sources say the backlog is the worst in
(05:01):
over 30 years.
It was caused by staff resignations, lack of
clear policy direction, micromanaging and delays in rulemaking.
Sounds like the government doesn't know how to
take care of their workers.
The slowdown has frustrated exporters, weakened global competitiveness,
and it's signaled a deeper set of turmoil
within an agency critical to safeguarding national security
(05:24):
while facilitating global trade.
Commerce officials defend the chances and the changes
that are being made as necessary for stronger
enforcement.
But the critics are saying the uncertainty is
costing US businesses a valuable percentage of market
(05:45):
share.
It always seems to get people excited when
it comes out of their pocket, right?
That's when people start questioning, what's going on?
Why is this happening?
Until it actually affects their pocket, it could
be, well, more than a penny, right?
It could be a lot.
(06:05):
And so anytime it's more than something, people
just like, what's happening?
What's going on?
And I think that's something interesting to understand.
People don't realize what's going on in life,
(06:27):
okay?
They don't realize that.
And the reason they don't realize it is
because they get so wrapped up in, well,
if it's a penny, it's a dollar, no
big deal.
But everybody has like a threshold, even if
you have billions of dollars.
You don't want to lose, I don't even
want to lose a penny, right?
If it's something stupid or something that goes
wrong, right?
We know lots of companies that can do
(06:48):
this to us.
One is the credit card companies.
Now being in the industry for a long
time, the one company now 32 years this
December and owning a few other companies, we
deal with credit card providers, right?
It's a necessary evil, unfortunately.
So what happens is these credit card companies
have something called PCI compliance.
And this is a little bit of a
bonus.
I didn't plan on talking about this.
(07:11):
PCI compliance.
What is it?
Well, in a nutshell, it's Payment Card Industry
Data Security Standard.
And I got to tell you, it's a
big, what can I say?
It's a joke.
It's a crucial set of security standards designed
(07:31):
to protect sensitive credit card information, but it's
not optional for businesses that handle credit card
payments and noncompliance can lead to a significant
consequence, including hefty fines for maybe $100, $200
per month.
And so the credit card industry and PCI
thinks they're doing something, but really it's a
big moneymaker, right?
(07:52):
And a lot of these people you talk
to, they have no clue about what it
is, if something's on your network and they
can't do something, suddenly you fail.
So it's a lot of fighting and you
have to do this scan once a year,
the compliance and documents, and you have to
answer the questions.
If you don't do this, well, you're going
to get hit with fines.
(08:12):
And so, and they keep amounting, like this,
this fee, they call it noncompliance fee, and
it can be anywhere from 50 to a
hundred or a few hundred dollars a month,
which can add up, right?
And so the thing about this is that
a lot of these things happening is you
have to go in and you have to
answer questions.
Now they've gotten better.
I have to say this.
You can log into some sites and you
can just click on, if nothing's changed, just
(08:33):
answer the new questions.
If there are any new questions, otherwise you
can, you know, just move right through.
The other day I had to recertify for
one of the companies and I certified in
probably under a couple of minutes, but used
to have to go through this laborious process
of filling out the documents.
And then if you missed one thing, it
was just crazy, absolutely insane.
So we will definitely keep you in the
(08:55):
know about what's going on with the turmoil
freezes, as we said, about thousands of export
approvals.
But this is just part of the game,
right?
I think government has to treat people right.
Private industry has to treat people right.
And we have to have the right processes
in place.
Speaking about this, AI clones versus voice actors.
(09:18):
So voice actors in Germany are sounding the
alarms as synthetic voices are threatening their industry.
As studios now adopt AI, artists are calling
for ethical standards and protection of craft honed
over decades.
This can be a problem guys.
So as I said, AI versus voice actors,
(09:39):
the dubbing war begins, they call it, in
the voice actor world.
And they're speaking out as AI they claim
is threatening to take over their quote unquote
dubbing booth.
In Germany, a global hub for dubbing film
and television, performers and studios are calling for
regulatory action to protect jobs and preserve artistic
(09:59):
quality immediately.
With the synthetic voices advancing rapidly, concerns are
rising over job displacement, loss of authenticity, and
the erosion of an entire craft honed over,
well, decades.
As tech companies push AI generated voices into
mainstream production, human voice talent is pushing back,
(10:20):
demanding ethical standards, creative control, and yes, fair
recognition in changing industry.
The battle between real voices and digital cloning
is heating up and quite quickly, and the
world is now watching for this.
Our third story for the week is robots
(10:40):
fight and play Mahjong.
Let me say that again.
Robots fight and play Mahjong.
So at China's World AI Conference, robots spar
in boxing matches and dominate in Mahjong games,
(11:01):
proving that AI isn't just smart, it's agile,
it's strategic, and it's culturally aware.
That's pretty cool, right?
Did you ever think AI would be playing
games?
From sparring to Mahjong, robots rule China's AI
conference.
This was at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence
Conference in Shanghai, China.
(11:21):
They showcased a fascinating blend of robotics innovation
from humanoid robots sparring in boxing matches to
machines expertly playing Mahjong.
Three demonstrations highlight the rapid progress of AI
driven robots in both a physically agile and
complex strategic thinking world.
(11:42):
As China pushes the boundaries of robotics, the
event underscored how AI is evolving beyond industrial
uses into cultural and competitive arenas, capturing global
attention and signaling new possibilities for the future
of intelligent machines.
So you might be asking why robots play
(12:04):
games.
It's not so they can get better games.
It's so that they can learn.
So when you play games, well, you learn,
right?
When you do anything over and over again,
you learn.
I think that's a very important point that
many people just don't realize.
We play games.
We're in this world to learn so we
(12:25):
can be much, much better.
And so when you think about this, and
you think about the fact that, you know,
there's always somebody trying to one up you,
right?
You have that.
And then you have people out there, unfortunately,
that decide they're just going to lie about
something because if they do, they can make
(12:47):
more money.
And although this sounds like a great idea,
especially in the AI world, it's going to
quickly bite them in the rear because, well,
when you're not ethical in anything, whether it's
technology, AI, whether it's just being a human
person in a relationship, well, that's going to
(13:08):
come back as karma always comes back to
pay, whether it's positively or negatively.
So remember, whatever you dish out will boomerang
back to you.
Not right away, like in a traditional boomerang,
but it will come back to you.
And when that happens, you're going to wish
that you took a different stance on where
you're going.
(13:29):
All right, guys, here's our latest.
Ruff, ruff, ruff.
Seriously, robot dog beats all terrain.
Unfortunately, well, fortunately, this one doesn't need to
get fed a lot or walked a lot.
China unveils the Lynx M20.
It's a robotic dog that handles grass, sand
(13:51):
and forest with ease.
This could revolutionize search and rescue military missions
and mobility tech.
Tech's really starting to really inch up there.
So the new robotic dog conquers any terrain
at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in
(14:14):
Shanghai, China.
They unveiled the Lynx M20.
Now, a lot of people have been asking
me this, and it's a very good question.
How much does the China Robotics Lynx 20
cost?
And I hope you guys are sitting down
(14:35):
for this, because this robot, it's the Deep
Robotics Lynx M20.
It's a wheeled-legged robot designed for industrial
applications in harsh environments.
And they have set a price tag on
this, and it's approximately could go up, would
never go down.
There's additional options like autonomous charging and advanced
(14:57):
navigation systems, and they're going to cost a
lot extra, but just to get the base
robot, $18,000.
Yeah.
The ability for this robot, it's equipped with
96-line LiDAR for 360-degree awareness real
(15:17):
-time mapping, positioning coordinates, and obstacle avoidance, even
in darkness.
And it even has an IP66 rating, which
is great for dust, water resistance, and operating
temperatures ranging from negative 20 degrees Celsius to
55 degrees.
So what is that in English?
(15:37):
So what is negative 20 Celsius to Fahrenheit?
So if we convert that to Fahrenheit, we
are looking at negative four degrees.
That's pretty cold.
And it can operate up in as high
as 55 degrees Celsius.
(15:59):
So what is 55 degrees Celsius?
A whopping 131 Fahrenheit.
So this thing can take some real, let's
say, unfriendly weather conditions or environment conditions.
The payload capacity can carry 33 pounds of
payload with a maximum load of 110 pounds.
(16:22):
It can operate for two and a half
hours under a regular load and three hours
without load on a single charge.
It has a hot swappable battery, which enables
continuous operation without shutdowns or recharging.
Some sources suggest that the Lynx standard robot
is priced, as we said, around $18,000.
And the M20 is likely a premium version
(16:44):
with an unannounced price.
It could be double.
However, other sources, including Deep Robotics, indicate that
the Lynx M20 could be available for $17
,000 or $18,000 for the basic model.
So the question is, who's going to be
the customer of this?
A lot of industrial factories, maybe even first
(17:05):
responder deployments in towns.
So we can actually preserve lives.
And if we lose a robot, a robot
is replaceable.
A human is not.
So I'm really impressed with what they're doing
here.
And it was developed by Deep Robotics.
(17:25):
And this is a virtual machine that showcased
how AI-powered robotics are rapidly evolving in
the tackle tile, real-world challenges with agility
and precision.
The Lynx M20 is a glimpse into the
future of robotics, blending innovation, adaptability for some
very unique, diverse environments.
(17:46):
We might see something like this in a
plant, could be a nuclear plant.
We could see it in another type of
plant, checking pressure levels.
Because again, the robot isn't actually susceptible to
any kind of damage.
This could be used in what we call
clean rod factories.
I'm not sure if you know what that
is.
So the medical world uses rods to sterilize
(18:12):
their, let's say, medical devices and consumables.
And so these rods, okay, are actually, well,
they're dangerous, guys.
(18:32):
They are, unfortunately, basically, they're nuclear.
And they are supposed to knock off any
kind of danger.
So the medical field employs various methods for
sterilization and medical devices and consumables with what
(18:52):
they call radiation sterilization being one important option.
So this technique utilizes different types of radiation
to destroy microorganisms, right?
Sounds pretty cool, but there's some dangers.
They have a cobalt-60 gamma ray.
It's a radiotope, so that emits gamma rays.
And these are rays that are used in
(19:14):
panoramic radiations where medical products sealed in their
final packaging and are placed on conveyor systems
and exposed to the radiation from a planter
array of cobalt-60 rods or pencils.
Mechanism is a gamma ray that penetrates the
products, damaging the DNA of microorganisms and rendering
them unable to reproduce.
(19:37):
So we have the electron beam as an
e-beam accelerator.
And so electron beam accelerators produce high-energy
electrons.
The electron beam is accelerated to near light
speed and directed at the product on a
conveyor system where the electrons penetrate and sterilize
the devices.
Like gamma radiation, e-beam radiation also damages
(19:58):
the DNA of microorganisms in activating them permanently.
So we have X-ray technology.
It's a high-energy electron beam accelerator equipped
with an X-ray converter system.
It can generate X-rays.
So I think the thing that's been happening
right now is these companies have been offering
(20:20):
people, you don't have to have a degree
or anything, and they're willing to have these
people work in these facilities, but they have
to sign pretty much a sentence that says
if they get harmed or they get any
type of illness, well, they can't go after
the manufacturing company.
So the manufacturing company knows it's bad.
(20:41):
The people working there know it's bad, but
they're willing to just shave off some years
off their life.
Could be five, could be 10, could be
30, even more, just because they decided to
basically abuse the public.
So we're starting to use robots now that
are not going to have any problem with
that.
A robot going in to change, let's say,
(21:05):
rods or cones for any type of radiation
system would not be affected by any type
of radiation.
So these are interesting things.
And I learned a little about this, not
just from today and from this week, but
I met somebody a couple of years ago.
I was just talking to him at a
conference and I asked him what they do.
And he told me he works for this
(21:25):
medical company.
So that's pretty interesting.
He said, I work with these rods.
And I wasn't really putting one and one
together.
And then I said, well, I said, that's
an interesting thing.
He said, well, it pays really great.
And he told me the number and all
that.
And I said, oh, I said, I said,
so that's a really great job.
He says, well, not really.
(21:46):
So it sounds like you do really well
there.
He goes, yeah, but you know what I
do?
I said, no.
He says, I work with radioactive devices.
And I, my heart just got sunk and
I was like, what do you mean you
work with them?
You're in a medical facility.
Well, we use, um, radioactivity and radio isotopes
to sterilize products.
(22:08):
And then once that has happened, um, you
know, pretty much it's, uh, basically out of
any radioactive pathway for quite a while.
So this was a question that I had
asked him.
How long, uh, does it take for medical
devices, um, sent out to be free from,
(22:31):
let's say any type of, um, um, radiation
sterilization.
And when they do this, um, the misconception
is that medical devices is using radiation such
as gamma radiation to electro means and requiring
(22:52):
a lengthy period free from radiation.
So there's no residue, both gamma and E
beam sterilization systems, uh, do not leave behind
any residual radioactivity or chemicals on the treated
products.
Safety standards, the sterilization process precisely controlled and
validate according to the international standards, like the
ISO triple 1137 to ensure a high, uh,
(23:15):
sterility assurance level without compromising product functionality.
Now notice they say product functionality.
There's nothing in there about preserving your health.
And again, they say there's no residue to
dissipate any, uh, radioactive decay.
Uh, in a sense, since medical devices, sterilization
by radiation, are you ready for use immediately?
(23:37):
So like seconds.
So when he told me what he was
doing, he says he really wants to quit
soon.
I said, how long have you been there?
He said, I've been there for a couple
of years.
He said, but each year I'm there.
He said, I'm probably taking a few years
off my life.
And I said, why?
He says, well, I literally go right in
the rooms where the radon is.
And I said, well, uh, you know, the,
the, the, the nucleus.
And I said, well, um, I'm sure you're
(23:57):
protecting me.
He says, nope.
He says, we walk right into the rooms.
I, you have clubs.
Yeah.
He says, I have gloves.
He says, but to be honest with you,
he says, um, you know, they go right
through the clubs.
So half the time I don't even wear
the clubs.
I was like, oh, and I said, well,
have you, you know, gone to the doctor
and he says, no, he says, I already
(24:18):
know that it's taken a lot of years
off my life and I don't want to
get really depressed.
But he says, I get paid a lot
of money and I'm enjoying the life I
have.
And I was like, that's terrible that these
companies are doing this, but they're making people
sign a release.
So they can't come back and sue them,
which I think is should be unlawful.
All right.
Our fifth story for today, um, AI saves
(24:40):
kids from toxic air and layoffs.
All sensors are now protecting school children by
monitoring the pollution levels in real time.
It's a crucial innovation where over a hundred
kids.
Die daily from toxic air.
Now this isn't a makeup.
This is actually the truth guys.
So, um, as I said, the AI powers
(25:00):
cleaner air and layout schools, the AI technology
is being deployed in layouts to monitor air
quality and protect school children from a harmful
pollution.
A critical step, which is needed in the
region where over a hundred child deaths daily
are linked to toxic air using real time
data, this initiative aims to alert schools when
(25:22):
pollution pollution reaches dangerous levels, helping to safeguard
young lives and promote healthier learning environments amid
ongoing environmental challenges.
Wow.
So I think that might be eventually mandated,
but it's not yet, but I'm glad to
see they're taking those steps.
(25:43):
And our sixth story for this evening is
5g farms are here.
A Scottish breakthrough brings portable 5g to remote
farms, enabling precision robotics and cutting pesticides.
Use is the plan.
This is a huge leap forward in the
sustainable agriculture world.
(26:07):
And so with the Scottish partnership that developed
a portable 5g network to tackle unreliable mobile
signals in remote rural areas, it's empowering farmers
to use advanced robotics and precision farming technologies.
This innovative solution helps farmers save money and
reduce pesticide usage.
And it's supporting both their productivity and their
(26:30):
environmental sustainability.
So, um, it looks like you don't need
a lot of farm hands anymore because now
we can do things robotically, even on the
farm, not too long ago, we talked about
a technology that's been around for a few
years, one that allows, uh, farmers to install
a milking machine.
And so the cow would basically come to
(26:52):
the machine.
It would scan, uh, the, uh, ID, which
would basically be right near the ear, it
would pick it up.
And, um, if the, uh, cow was, uh,
uh, let's say, um, not there, you know,
but beyond the record, the maximum allowed times,
it would automatically open the gate, come in
(27:14):
and all the preferences would be saved just
for that cow.
So the cow could be very, very comfortable.
Um, but not only did they do that,
you don't realize it, but they were using
technology to make sure that the cow always
was carrying.
And so, you know, that's the only time
the cow can, can be having milk.
So for them, it was very important that
(27:35):
the cows always had, uh, cycles all the
time and that they had, uh, they weren't
going to be having baby calves all the
time, or they couldn't really make their money.
Uh, the systems even check to see whether
the first amount of milk is safe.
If it isn't, it automatically funnels it off.
So there's a system that literally checks the,
um, health level of the milk to make
sure that the cow, um, this milk is
(27:57):
healthy.
That's, uh, that's an amazing thing.
Guys are really, really amazing thing and, um,
supporting sustainability and, you know, also the, um,
productivity of a farm is very important.
Our seven story under pressure from lawmakers Delta
(28:20):
denies AI fare scandal.
Delta insists it doesn't use AI to price
or gouge travelers.
The airline claims its systems only reflect market
trends, but privacy concerns, they still remain.
And there's a lot of skeptics out there.
And I have to tell you, I don't
(28:41):
agree with them when they say that they
don't use AI to raise their fares.
I really disagree with that.
And I'm sure other airlines do it as
well.
So Delta assures Congress, there has been no
AI price tickets.
Delta airlines is under fire from the U
S lawmakers over concerns.
It could use AI to charge passengers based
on personal data, but the airline is pushing
(29:03):
back hard on this.
Usually when you push back hard, I don't
know about you, but it usually means you're
guilty.
Delta insists it has never, and will never
use AI to personalize ticket pricing, calling such
tactics unacceptable while senators warned of a future
where AI sets fares based on what you're
willing to pay.
(29:24):
Delta says it's AI tools only respond to
market trends, not individual behavior.
With Congress eyeing new legislation to ban surveillance
pricing, the battle over AI privacy and airfare
is just starting to take off and that
could mean a big increase in prices, not
just for Delta, but for many airlines.
If this is something that they want to
(29:47):
implement, it sounds like they could.
It's more of that magical supply and demand
and being able to charge based on certain
data.
Number eight, AI creates lifesaving anti-venom.
This, when I heard the story, this kind
of blew me out of the water.
All right.
(30:07):
Um, Danish researchers have developed an AI powered
anti-venom that could save millions from deadly
snake bites, especially in the rural regions where
access to treatment is, let's say rather limited.
So AI versus the venom, the future of
the snake bites survival.
(30:28):
Scientists in Denmark have harnessed the power of
artificial intelligence to develop a new kind of
anti-venom, potentially revolutionizing treatment for an estimate
of 5.4 million people bitten by snakes
globally.
That's a high number each year, according to
the WHO, the World Health Organization.
The AI design solution could drastically improve response
(30:50):
time and effectiveness, offering fresh hope in regions
like traditional anti-venom access where it's limited,
and as part of wider pushes in tech
driven healthcare, innovation from robotic caretakers to AI
powered medical imaging, this breakthrough underscores how machine
learning is transforming medicine and potentially saving lives
(31:11):
worldwide.
My only question guys is, um, where's the
data going and who has access to it?
Speaking more about planes.
Well, Boeing, um, Strike Rock, the defense now,
3,200 Boeing defense workers in St. Louis,
um, now are on strike, uh, despite what
(31:33):
they say was a 40% raise offer.
However, I recently was corrected today on TikTok
when somebody said, uh, that it was a
20%, I don't know what the real truth
is, but I thought it was interesting that
somebody responded to a post where we said
40%, we never asked for 40, we asked
for 20.
So there's obviously some type of confusion there.
The laborers unrest, uh, could delay key fighter
(31:55):
jet production for the U S military.
I bet you didn't know that Boeing makes
the planes for the U S military.
Uh, that just sounds a little, uh, messy.
So Boeing started striking this past Monday, Boeing's
defense workers, as I said, in St. Louis,
um, had made their plans to strike this
(32:17):
past midnight on Monday after rejecting the company's
latest contract offer, despite a proposed, they claim
40% average wage increase in added benefits.
But I was now told that it wasn't
40, it was 20, but yet the media
has it down as 40.
So how did it get misconstrued to 40?
If it was really 20, the international association
(32:38):
of machinists, the I a M and a
W aerospace workers, I am represents 3,200
employees who build fighter jets and drones for
the U S military says, uh, the deal
failing to reflect their crucial role in national
defense, Boeing already expanding at St. Louis facilities
(32:59):
for the new F 47, a air force
fighter has activated continuously plans, but the looming
strike here now it's happened, highlights growing labor
tensions in the defense sector.
I mean, I think you can't wait till
the last moment to decide that we're going
to take care of our people, not take
care of them now.
Right.
And number 10 guys, AI, yes.
(33:22):
AI now drafts, soccer deals, John, what are
you talking about?
AI drafts, soccer deals.
This is one.
When I first read this, I did not
believe this.
Cambridge, uh, United becomes the first football club
to use AI for writing player contracts, eliminating
(33:44):
legal costs and speeding up, uh, signings, uh,
a smart move they claim in the sports
tech world.
I think more people are going to do
this too.
So Cambridge, uh, basically taps into the AI
world to seal player deals.
Um, Cambridge United FC is making football history
by becoming the first club to use AI,
(34:05):
to draft and manage player contracts, aiming to
slash legal costs and speed up the signing
process.
Uh, and this is ahead of the September
1st deadline that they originally said they were
going to do.
It's now in place now over a month
earlier.
Partner with local startup genie AI, the club
plans to automate player and commercial agreements, freeing
(34:26):
up time, cutting expense and reinvesting in talent
and facilities.
Club, uh, chief Alex Tunbridge calls it quote
unquote, a smart decision that keeps them ahead
of the curve.
While genie AI CEO celebrates the homegrown partnership,
the system rolls out this month, uh, putting
(34:48):
AI on the team sheet or shall we
say on the mound or on the field?
Um, I think it's interesting when we can
use AI again, my question is privacy.
What data is going to be out there?
What data is going to be shared and
how are they going to protect this data?
But again, right now it's just on, uh,
(35:10):
the soccer field, but I think it could
be on a lot more fields if this
works out well, well, our 11 story Trump
tariffs crash, the tech, uh, world, the new
tariffs are slamming Asia's tech giants, disrupting chip
production and sending shockwaves through companies like Apple
(35:31):
and Nvidia.
Uh, the whole global supply chain is feeling
the heat and I'd say they're starting to
panic.
So Trump's renewed tariffs, as I said, are
shaking, uh, the industry's foundation.
This is Asia's tech manufacturing boom.
And once the region's economic powerhouse tech hubs
like Taiwan, India, and Vietnam now face steep
(35:53):
levies, which they claim is up to 40
% as American firms like Apple and Nvidia
scramble to cope with the exploding costs, the
ripple effects are massive, uh, electronic supply chains
are choking chip production is in crisis.
And even e-commerce Titans like shine and
Temu are reeling from collapsing of the tariff
(36:14):
exemptions.
While Trump claims he's fighting for us jobs,
the globalized web of tech production means both
American companies and Asian economies are now paying
the price.
Ooh, that's just not very good.
And, uh, this is a, this is definitely
(36:35):
a problem guys, the geopolitical of the world
dumping in now to our, uh, 12 story,
the UK starts to target, let's say adult
related sites, according to Ofcom launching probes into
34 adult websites to enforce new age checks
while some support child safety, others warn it's
(36:57):
a privacy, well, nightmare and disaster.
And VPN use is now spiking because people
are trying to figure out how do we
get around the system so that we can
actually still get to our content?
You know, it's sad that people do that.
And it's sad that companies have to get,
uh, into a crackdown mode.
34 adult sites are probed off cons investigating
(37:19):
34 of them run by four companies to
determine if they're complying with the new UK
age verification laws that was set out to
protect children from adult content.
Now these four probes target platforms for over
9 million users.
Let me say that again, 9 million users
and follow early investigations into four, uh, Chan
(37:41):
and other sites.
And the new rules are part of the
online safety act that was passed not too
long ago, requiring age checks across thousands of
websites, including music platforms like Spotify, while some
welcome the move as critical for child safety,
critics argue it's overreach and it's a threat
to privacy with VPN downloads, as I said,
(38:01):
starting to spike to get around this.
Users are seeking to bypass the rules despite
backlash and a 400,000 signature petition UK
government says has no plans to repeal the
law.
I get where they're going with.
I think it's good, but I think maybe
they need to make sure that they don't
(38:23):
just limit, but maybe they got to put
some of these sites out of business.
Unfortunately, guys, I hate to say that, but
there's a lot of shady webmasters out there
and they'll do anything for a buck.
Number 13, Pope Leo warns, uh, it's AI
versus humanity.
(38:44):
Pope Leo urges influencers and innovators to use
tech compassionately.
That's a word we don't hear in tech
and warns the world not to let AI
compromise human dignity or connection.
Let me say that again.
So the Pope warns the world not to
let AI compromise human dignity or connection.
(39:06):
And I think that's happening because a lot
of people just don't understand what AI can
do.
And so, um, Pope Leo is sounding the
alarm on AI urging the world to protect
human dignity as tech advances and accelerates speaking
at the Vatican's first mass for Catholic influencers.
He called on creators to use their platforms
(39:26):
for compassion, not division and warned that artificial
intelligence must serve humanity, not undermine it.
Quote unquote, our voices must carry love, not
ego end quote.
He declared as he rallied youth to build
bridges online and guard against digital age that
risks losing its soul.
You never hear about using a computer with
(39:49):
heart or using a computer or using technology
with compassion.
Those words never seemed to have had a
place before, but maybe they will know.
And I think that might be the greatest
thing in our world.
Our last story for this evening is all
about Australia.
Australia is banning YouTube for kids.
What are you talking about?
In a bold move, Australia will now ban
(40:10):
social media for kids under 16, including YouTube,
the law prioritizes child safety over platform profits
and big tech.
I'm sure, you know, is not very happy.
So Australia is moving this way to ban
YouTube for kids under 16.
It's a major, major shakeup.
(40:32):
And it's a bold step.
Australia is banning the children under 16 from
using social media platforms, including YouTube in a
big sweeping law set to take effect this
December of 2025.
The move, which reverses an earlier promise to
exempt YouTube follows rising concern about harmful content
and, uh, persuasive design features like infinite scroll.
(40:54):
The government is pushing back against legal threats
and tech lobbying, uh, insisting the law protects
children's wellbeing over platform profits.
Violators could face fines of up to you
ready guys, 32, not dollars.
Million.
I didn't say thousand.
I said million as officials roll out age
(41:15):
verification systems amid growing privacy concerns.
My question is what data are they going
to use or potentially compromise?
See that that's a big, big problem for
me.
So as we're thinking about AI, right?
Uh, for those of you don't know, I'm
actually back in school, getting my master of
science, AI, and then my PhD in that,
I think a lot of people realize AI
(41:40):
could be a threat.
Other people realize that they're going to milk
it for all they can.
Because it's their gold or silver bullet.
And the question, even in school, now it's
rising a big issue.
You can use chat GPT and other chat
systems to help you learn, but what you
don't want to do is use chat GPT
(42:01):
or other AI systems to do your homework.
You want to understand what the work is
and why things are a certain way.
I think that's a very, very big thing.
And so the more we think about, you
know, AI, the more we think about ethical.
And I think what the Pope has, uh,
instituted is very, very price.
I know he's going to get some pushback.
(42:22):
I mean, not everybody's going to like, you
always said you can love me, like me
or hate me.
And I'm going to keep doing what I'm
doing.
And I told people this before, you know,
you have the right to do anything in
your world, include being competitive, as long as
you don't harm or hurt another person, I
think that's a huge, uh, huge thing is
if you can learn how to respect other
people, if you can learn how to respect
(42:43):
other people, then you too have the power
to make a difference.
Not only in your personal life, in your
family, in your neighborhood, your entire town or
your borough, your entire County, your entire voting
(43:06):
district, right, your entire ecosystem that could be
at work, uh, that could be a volunteer
that could be at school.
I come back in school.
So we all have a capability of influencing
other people, people that have been using AI
(43:27):
more than others like myself, they turn to
us for advice.
And I tell people AI is a good
tool.
If you know how to use it correctly,
that's an interesting thing.
And we were talking about the robots before,
(43:48):
right?
So the Chinese robot that we're talking about,
uh, prices out around 16,000 and the
more advanced, larger H one goes for 90
,000.
And this is all done by deep robotics,
uh, links, but you can get that small
one we're talking about for around 18,000,
(44:09):
just $17,999 plus tax, but launching a
robot that's all terrain.
We think about an all terrain vehicle.
We know what that's about, right?
But a robot that's all terrain.
I mean, that's pretty like pretty up there.
So, as I said, while performance, I mean,
this thing can do, uh, mountains could do
(44:32):
a lot of different things.
And so, um, it features a wheel leg
hybrid design, combining the wheels speed with legs,
uh, agility and powered by deep robotics, proprietary,
intelligent motion control algorithms and achieves well, a
lot of success in doing that.
So when we think about robots, right.
(44:54):
Or we think about our world and we
think about why something is a certain way.
We could be talking about a robot, a
robot arm.
We can be talking about other types of
AI and algorithms.
And I think as more people get to
understand what a robot is and what it
isn't, I think that's going to get people
(45:16):
on a different trajectory.
If I asked you right now today, what
AI is in use around you, besides your
computer, maybe you have, um, Syria, maybe you
have, um, Alexa, you have some other voice
assistant that uses AI.
(45:39):
And I think again, AI is a tool.
So I think there needs to be more
courses to explain to people how you use
AI properly in the most respected fashion.
And I know that sounds like something that
is, I don't know.
Sounds like something that's like made up, but
it is the truth guys.
It's the truth.
(45:59):
And if we understand just one thing about
AI, I think we can understand quite a
bit.
Okay.
And by quite a bit, I mean one
thing.
I mean that we have so much potential
in our life, but we have to remember
one thing.
We have to remember that whatever we're doing
is for the greater good of all concern.
(46:21):
I think a lot of people in technology,
they, well, they get a little bit lost.
And the reason they get lost is because
they think that AI is going to be
like this magical.
And AI has a lot of potential.
I'll be honest with you, but also if
you don't know how to use it properly,
AI can, let's say really mess you up.
(46:44):
We've seen situations where AI has been used
to exploit people.
Right.
And I think that's a big problem for
a lot of people.
I think if, if you understand what that
is, I think you'll use AI in a
more, well, a more ethical fashion, right?
(47:08):
A more ethical fashion.
And by being in a more ethical fashion,
I know ladies gentlemen, that it's got to
be about you, it's got to be about
making change, but sometimes when we try to
make change too quickly, you know what happens?
(47:31):
We fall off and we fall off because
people don't realize what we've done.
And maybe you're saying to me, John, you
(47:51):
know, this is something that's pretty interesting, but
then you're also probably saying to me, John,
like, I don't get this for some reason.
And the reason you don't get it is
very, very simple.
It's because you're thinking about AI, like it
was technology from 20 years ago.
(48:14):
Right.
It's never going to be like that.
AI is something that can morph, something that
can change.
And that I believe is something that I
hope will, I hope will get people excited.
Okay.
(48:34):
And that excitement can get people to build
things.
I mean, it could do so many great
things, right?
And that's really, um, that's really a big
thing is to get what you need and
to be cognizant of the technology out there.
(48:57):
So AI is going to keep evolving guys,
every single day, all right.
It's going to keep evolving.
And if AI keeps evolving, then I feel
that you will be glad that you hung
around.
Maybe you're on a trip and maybe while
(49:18):
you're on that trip, maybe you're now like,
well, I don't know what I have to
do.
Maybe the perspective that you had yesterday is
different than the perspective you had a year
ago, two years ago, three years ago, four
years ago, 10 years ago, because our mindsets
(49:42):
change guys, our mindsets change.
And that's something that most people don't get
is that what we have focused on for
maybe our whole life up until now might
change when we suddenly get curious about something.
(50:05):
So again, everyone that chooses to use AI,
it's fantastic, but know your purpose.
And if you don't know what AI can
do, well, there's nothing wrong with just exploring
it, but you know, when you're using AI
for something that's not good, when your intent
is to harm or hurt another person, you
know, when AI is going to be a
(50:28):
problem, when it comes into an ethical issue,
right, AI is great at doing research, AI
is not perfect.
Like let's get that right through the get
-go.
AI is not perfect.
Artificial intelligence.
It's been around for a while, but we're
(50:49):
starting to morph into a very interesting time,
you guys all know about the password caper
that's coming up and pretty soon we need
to come up with a whole bunch of
new algorithms so that computers and technology are
going to remain safe.
But did you ever think there'd be a
(51:12):
robot dog, right?
You probably remember Spot.
I know I remember Spot from Boston.
It was Boston Dynamics.
We don't hear a lot about Spot, is
the robot from, you know, from Boston Dynamics,
and that robot is a pretty amazing robot,
okay?
(51:32):
It's a four-legged, agile, mobile robot known
for its ability to navigate various terrains, including
stairs and obstacles, and it can be used
for inspections, data collection, and even handle hazardous
situations.
So we have something like this, guys, right
here in the United States of America.
(51:53):
They can use things like this on a
battlefield, and I think this is a big
thing, so Spot has mobility, it uses multiple
sensors, including stereo cameras, to perceive its environment
and avoid obstacles.
Stereo cameras mean basically if we have two
eyes, well, the robot has two eyes.
(52:14):
Think of a camera as an eye, and
basically you're getting vision.
Now the robot's not going to see the
way we see, but it is going to
get data and be able to perceive that.
So Spot is used in various industries like
remote inspections, data collection, and incident response.
(52:36):
Spot can be used to investigate hazardous situations,
potentially preventing injuries, or issues to human personnel.
Boston Dynamics continues, guys, to keep expanding the
world of robotics.
But what I want to say is when
(52:58):
we start to come up with a premise
that a robot can do something and it
can save a human's life, by that I
mean that when somebody gets harmed or could
potentially be in a life threatening situation, when
we send robots in that are very capable,
very knowledgeable, first of all, we don't risk
(53:22):
the robot being harmed, but the robot can
operate on pure precision every single time.
A human can't do that.
Maybe the human gets stressed.
Maybe the human is not used to this
kind of condition or the heat or the
cold, right?
Robots just operate at negative four, negative five,
(53:46):
right?
Or five degrees or four degrees, all the
way up to 131 degrees.
That's pretty amazing.
Now you might be asking, and it's a
very good question to ask, what is, you
know, the heat range for Spot from Boston
(54:06):
Dynamics, and I think if we were to
ask that question today, you guys would be
very surprised because it goes from negative 20
to 25, negative 20 to 25, right?
Negative 20, excuse me, negative 20, pardon me,
(54:27):
negative 20 to 55, excuse me, negative 20
to 55, the ambient temperature for it is
about 35, that's Celsius, but that's something I
believe that's pretty important.
Right?
If we convert 33 Celsius and 55 Celsius,
(54:52):
we probably will get a number that'll blow
you away.
Okay.
It can operate in the 91.4 degree
Fahrenheit range all the way up to 131
degrees Fahrenheit, that means it makes it perfect
for different things like rescue missions, and because
(55:17):
it's bigger, drones are small, right?
But because this robot is bigger, because it
can operate on so many different planes, that
can give us a world where not only
are we going to be able to stay
safe, be able to help more people, and
(55:38):
never have a sick day called in by
the robot, that's pretty incredible.
Maybe you want a robot to come in
and check levels of a lake or something,
or maybe you want it to figure out
something for you, it can do that.
So a robot is a computer, okay?
But it has different inputs and outputs.
(56:01):
Now we know an input is like your
keyboard, your mouse, et cetera, right?
Outputs are like your speakers, your monitor.
So imagine that and imagining that a robot
has things like sensors, okay?
And the sensors to the robot are in
a sense, what's going to have it traverse
to other levels, right?
(56:23):
I think some people, when you think about
robotics and you think about AI, they have
a natural cohesion together.
But what I want to tell you is
that so many people I know will want
to learn AI, not for the reason that
you and I probably want to learn AI,
which is to help other people, and there's
millions of applications for AI today, there's millions
(56:47):
of them.
But what I want to share with you
is, is that I think AI should be
licensed because if AI is licensed, and I
don't mean that it has to pay money
for it, but that people are using AI
for something in business, they want to keep
track of it.
They want to know that everything's going to
work well.
I think that's a very, very big fear
(57:08):
of some people, but they don't want to
touch AI because they don't know what's going
to happen or where something's going to go.
What have I said to you tomorrow?
You could do anything you want with AI,
but because of your curiosities, you might venture
into areas that, let's say, may not be
appropriate.
They may be harming somebody, and we don't
(57:30):
want to do that, guys.
We do not want to do that.
So thinking about technology, whether it's collecting data,
whether it's trying to share information back, or
it's trying to help us in a way
that we didn't even know was capable, I
think that's the real magic of taking the
(57:51):
kind of the fusion, if you will, of
AI and robotics.
And what else do robots have?
Robotics have motors, right?
So a robot has motors, and so there's
sensors.
And so the motors activate when certain things
happen.
So if, like, for example, they call the
procedure walk, it would walk.
And it would use different sensors to know
where it is.
(58:11):

It is one of the highest powered AI
laptops you can buy today from Lenovo.
All right, guys, if you have not checked
out BelieveMeAchieved.com, what are you waiting for?
Go ahead and check that out after the
show, that is.
By the way, I have my RO water.
(02:13):
You'll see me or hear me slurping some
water, nice ice cold water.
And feel free to get some yourself, whether
that's from the kitchen, maybe you want something
hot, something cold.
I don't know if you want something hot
right now.
But you could be watching this program in
the winter, who knows?
Maybe you want something sweet, maybe you want
something tart, or maybe you want something crunchy.
(02:34):
I don't know, whatever that is.
Feel free to get that.
It could be nuts, could be something sweet,
whatever.
Grab that and head on back here to
our show.
Incidentally, today's show topic is a really good
one.
You're ready for it?
I know I am.
Robot dogs, striking workers, and banned YouTube.
Tech just got, how can I say, no
(02:55):
pun intended, real.
All right, guys, it's always getting real in
the tech world every single week.
We really do stir some stuff up.
And I give you the truth about what's
out there in technology.
I'm not trying to sell you anything here
on the show.
I just want to give you the truth
so you can make the right decisions in
your life.
So again, a big welcome to everyone to
(03:16):
another powerful episode of The JMOR Tech
Talk Show.
And if you didn't know who I am,
well, I'm John C.
Moore.
I'm a serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video
producer, graduate student, passionate educator, and enthusiast of
learning.
And I bring you the biggest breakthroughs, the
shakeups, and the shocks in the world of,
(03:37):
yes, technology.
This week, I'm diving into 14 stories that
will leave you amazed, concerned, and maybe even
a little inspired.
So you're ready?
Let's kick this off, everyone, and let's get
started.
All right.
So a really interesting one is AI exports
(03:58):
are getting blocked as billions are lost.
Thousands of US export licenses are frozen due
to dysfunction in the commerce department, halting billions
in AI chip shipments to China.
Now, this massive backlog is shaking, well, global
tech markets and raising some serious questions about
(04:19):
America's competitiveness.
Yeah, that's a really, really interesting one that
I know we want to dive, I should
say, just a little bit deeper in.
And I think it's something that scares some
people, right?
So thousands, not hundreds, thousands of US export
(04:40):
licenses applications were stalled due to the internal
dysfunction of the commerce department's BIS, Bureau of
Industry and Security, the BIS, leaving billions of
dollars in shipments on the table, including high
profile AI chips to China in, well, in
a word, limbo.
Sources say the backlog is the worst in
(05:01):
over 30 years.
It was caused by staff resignations, lack of
clear policy direction, micromanaging and delays in rulemaking.
Sounds like the government doesn't know how to
take care of their workers.
The slowdown has frustrated exporters, weakened global competitiveness,
and it's signaled a deeper set of turmoil
within an agency critical to safeguarding national security
(05:24):
while facilitating global trade.
Commerce officials defend the chances and the changes
that are being made as necessary for stronger
enforcement.
But the critics are saying the uncertainty is
costing US businesses a valuable percentage of market
(05:45):
share.
It always seems to get people excited when
it comes out of their pocket, right?
That's when people start questioning, what's going on?
Why is this happening?
Until it actually affects their pocket, it could
be, well, more than a penny, right?
It could be a lot.
(06:05):
And so anytime it's more than something, people
just like, what's happening?
What's going on?
And I think that's something interesting to understand.
People don't realize what's going on in life,
(06:27):
okay?
They don't realize that.
And the reason they don't realize it is
because they get so wrapped up in, well,
if it's a penny, it's a dollar, no
big deal.
But everybody has like a threshold, even if
you have billions of dollars.
You don't want to lose, I don't even
want to lose a penny, right?
If it's something stupid or something that goes
wrong, right?
We know lots of companies that can do
(06:48):
this to us.
One is the credit card companies.
Now being in the industry for a long
time, the one company now 32 years this
December and owning a few other companies, we
deal with credit card providers, right?
It's a necessary evil, unfortunately.
So what happens is these credit card companies
have something called PCI compliance.
And this is a little bit of a
bonus.
I didn't plan on talking about this.
(07:11):
PCI compliance.
What is it?
Well, in a nutshell, it's Payment Card Industry
Data Security Standard.
And I got to tell you, it's a
big, what can I say?
It's a joke.
It's a crucial set of security standards designed
(07:31):
to protect sensitive credit card information, but it's
not optional for businesses that handle credit card
payments and noncompliance can lead to a significant
consequence, including hefty fines for maybe $100, $200
per month.
And so the credit card industry and PCI
thinks they're doing something, but really it's a
big moneymaker, right?
(07:52):
And a lot of these people you talk
to, they have no clue about what it
is, if something's on your network and they
can't do something, suddenly you fail.
So it's a lot of fighting and you
have to do this scan once a year,
the compliance and documents, and you have to
answer the questions.
If you don't do this, well, you're going
to get hit with fines.
(08:12):
And so, and they keep amounting, like this,
this fee, they call it noncompliance fee, and
it can be anywhere from 50 to a
hundred or a few hundred dollars a month,
which can add up, right?
And so the thing about this is that
a lot of these things happening is you
have to go in and you have to
answer questions.
Now they've gotten better.
I have to say this.
You can log into some sites and you
can just click on, if nothing's changed, just
(08:33):
answer the new questions.
If there are any new questions, otherwise you
can, you know, just move right through.
The other day I had to recertify for
one of the companies and I certified in
probably under a couple of minutes, but used
to have to go through this laborious process
of filling out the documents.
And then if you missed one thing, it
was just crazy, absolutely insane.
So we will definitely keep you in the
(08:55):
know about what's going on with the turmoil
freezes, as we said, about thousands of export
approvals.
But this is just part of the game,
right?
I think government has to treat people right.
Private industry has to treat people right.
And we have to have the right processes
in place.
Speaking about this, AI clones versus voice actors.
(09:18):
So voice actors in Germany are sounding the
alarms as synthetic voices are threatening their industry.
As studios now adopt AI, artists are calling
for ethical standards and protection of craft honed
over decades.
This can be a problem guys.
So as I said, AI versus voice actors,
(09:39):
the dubbing war begins, they call it, in
the voice actor world.
And they're speaking out as AI they claim
is threatening to take over their quote unquote
dubbing booth.
In Germany, a global hub for dubbing film
and television, performers and studios are calling for
regulatory action to protect jobs and preserve artistic
(09:59):
quality immediately.
With the synthetic voices advancing rapidly, concerns are
rising over job displacement, loss of authenticity, and
the erosion of an entire craft honed over,
well, decades.
As tech companies push AI generated voices into
mainstream production, human voice talent is pushing back,
(10:20):
demanding ethical standards, creative control, and yes, fair
recognition in changing industry.
The battle between real voices and digital cloning
is heating up and quite quickly, and the
world is now watching for this.
Our third story for the week is robots
(10:40):
fight and play Mahjong.
Let me say that again.
Robots fight and play Mahjong.
So at China's World AI Conference, robots spar
in boxing matches and dominate in Mahjong games,
(11:01):
proving that AI isn't just smart, it's agile,
it's strategic, and it's culturally aware.
That's pretty cool, right?
Did you ever think AI would be playing
games?
From sparring to Mahjong, robots rule China's AI
conference.
This was at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence
Conference in Shanghai, China.
(11:21):
They showcased a fascinating blend of robotics innovation
from humanoid robots sparring in boxing matches to
machines expertly playing Mahjong.
Three demonstrations highlight the rapid progress of AI
driven robots in both a physically agile and
complex strategic thinking world.
(11:42):
As China pushes the boundaries of robotics, the
event underscored how AI is evolving beyond industrial
uses into cultural and competitive arenas, capturing global
attention and signaling new possibilities for the future
of intelligent machines.
So you might be asking why robots play
(12:04):
games.
It's not so they can get better games.
It's so that they can learn.
So when you play games, well, you learn,
right?
When you do anything over and over again,
you learn.
I think that's a very important point that
many people just don't realize.
We play games.
We're in this world to learn so we
(12:25):
can be much, much better.
And so when you think about this, and
you think about the fact that, you know,
there's always somebody trying to one up you,
right?
You have that.
And then you have people out there, unfortunately,
that decide they're just going to lie about
something because if they do, they can make
(12:47):
more money.
And although this sounds like a great idea,
especially in the AI world, it's going to
quickly bite them in the rear because, well,
when you're not ethical in anything, whether it's
technology, AI, whether it's just being a human
person in a relationship, well, that's going to
(13:08):
come back as karma always comes back to
pay, whether it's positively or negatively.
So remember, whatever you dish out will boomerang
back to you.
Not right away, like in a traditional boomerang,
but it will come back to you.
And when that happens, you're going to wish
that you took a different stance on where
you're going.
(13:29):
All right, guys, here's our latest.
Ruff, ruff, ruff.
Seriously, robot dog beats all terrain.
Unfortunately, well, fortunately, this one doesn't need to
get fed a lot or walked a lot.
China unveils the Lynx M20.
It's a robotic dog that handles grass, sand
(13:51):
and forest with ease.
This could revolutionize search and rescue military missions
and mobility tech.
Tech's really starting to really inch up there.
So the new robotic dog conquers any terrain
at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in
(14:14):
Shanghai, China.
They unveiled the Lynx M20.
Now, a lot of people have been asking
me this, and it's a very good question.
How much does the China Robotics Lynx 20
cost?
And I hope you guys are sitting down
(14:35):
for this, because this robot, it's the Deep
Robotics Lynx M20.
It's a wheeled-legged robot designed for industrial
applications in harsh environments.
And they have set a price tag on
this, and it's approximately could go up, would
never go down.
There's additional options like autonomous charging and advanced
(14:57):
navigation systems, and they're going to cost a
lot extra, but just to get the base
robot, $18,000.
Yeah.
The ability for this robot, it's equipped with
96-line LiDAR for 360-degree awareness real
(15:17):
-time mapping, positioning coordinates, and obstacle avoidance, even
in darkness.
And it even has an IP66 rating, which
is great for dust, water resistance, and operating
temperatures ranging from negative 20 degrees Celsius to
55 degrees.
So what is that in English?
(15:37):
So what is negative 20 Celsius to Fahrenheit?
So if we convert that to Fahrenheit, we
are looking at negative four degrees.
That's pretty cold.
And it can operate up in as high
as 55 degrees Celsius.
(15:59):
So what is 55 degrees Celsius?
A whopping 131 Fahrenheit.
So this thing can take some real, let's
say, unfriendly weather conditions or environment conditions.
The payload capacity can carry 33 pounds of
payload with a maximum load of 110 pounds.
(16:22):
It can operate for two and a half
hours under a regular load and three hours
without load on a single charge.
It has a hot swappable battery, which enables
continuous operation without shutdowns or recharging.
Some sources suggest that the Lynx standard robot
is priced, as we said, around $18,000.
And the M20 is likely a premium version
(16:44):
with an unannounced price.
It could be double.
However, other sources, including Deep Robotics, indicate that
the Lynx M20 could be available for $17
,000 or $18,000 for the basic model.
So the question is, who's going to be
the customer of this?
A lot of industrial factories, maybe even first
(17:05):
responder deployments in towns.
So we can actually preserve lives.
And if we lose a robot, a robot
is replaceable.
A human is not.
So I'm really impressed with what they're doing
here.
And it was developed by Deep Robotics.
(17:25):
And this is a virtual machine that showcased
how AI-powered robotics are rapidly evolving in
the tackle tile, real-world challenges with agility
and precision.
The Lynx M20 is a glimpse into the
future of robotics, blending innovation, adaptability for some
very unique, diverse environments.
(17:46):
We might see something like this in a
plant, could be a nuclear plant.
We could see it in another type of
plant, checking pressure levels.
Because again, the robot isn't actually susceptible to
any kind of damage.
This could be used in what we call
clean rod factories.
I'm not sure if you know what that
is.
So the medical world uses rods to sterilize
(18:12):
their, let's say, medical devices and consumables.
And so these rods, okay, are actually, well,
they're dangerous, guys.
(18:32):
They are, unfortunately, basically, they're nuclear.
And they are supposed to knock off any
kind of danger.
So the medical field employs various methods for
sterilization and medical devices and consumables with what
(18:52):
they call radiation sterilization being one important option.
So this technique utilizes different types of radiation
to destroy microorganisms, right?
Sounds pretty cool, but there's some dangers.
They have a cobalt-60 gamma ray.
It's a radiotope, so that emits gamma rays.
And these are rays that are used in
(19:14):
panoramic radiations where medical products sealed in their
final packaging and are placed on conveyor systems
and exposed to the radiation from a planter
array of cobalt-60 rods or pencils.
Mechanism is a gamma ray that penetrates the
products, damaging the DNA of microorganisms and rendering
them unable to reproduce.
(19:37):
So we have the electron beam as an
e-beam accelerator.
And so electron beam accelerators produce high-energy
electrons.
The electron beam is accelerated to near light
speed and directed at the product on a
conveyor system where the electrons penetrate and sterilize
the devices.
Like gamma radiation, e-beam radiation also damages
(19:58):
the DNA of microorganisms in activating them permanently.
So we have X-ray technology.
It's a high-energy electron beam accelerator equipped
with an X-ray converter system.
It can generate X-rays.
So I think the thing that's been happening
right now is these companies have been offering
(20:20):
people, you don't have to have a degree
or anything, and they're willing to have these
people work in these facilities, but they have
to sign pretty much a sentence that says
if they get harmed or they get any
type of illness, well, they can't go after
the manufacturing company.
So the manufacturing company knows it's bad.
(20:41):
The people working there know it's bad, but
they're willing to just shave off some years
off their life.
Could be five, could be 10, could be
30, even more, just because they decided to
basically abuse the public.
So we're starting to use robots now that
are not going to have any problem with
that.
A robot going in to change, let's say,
(21:05):
rods or cones for any type of radiation
system would not be affected by any type
of radiation.
So these are interesting things.
And I learned a little about this, not
just from today and from this week, but
I met somebody a couple of years ago.
I was just talking to him at a
conference and I asked him what they do.
And he told me he works for this
(21:25):
medical company.
So that's pretty interesting.
He said, I work with these rods.
And I wasn't really putting one and one
together.
And then I said, well, I said, that's
an interesting thing.
He said, well, it pays really great.
And he told me the number and all
that.
And I said, oh, I said, I said,
so that's a really great job.
He says, well, not really.
(21:46):
So it sounds like you do really well
there.
He goes, yeah, but you know what I
do?
I said, no.
He says, I work with radioactive devices.
And I, my heart just got sunk and
I was like, what do you mean you
work with them?
You're in a medical facility.
Well, we use, um, radioactivity and radio isotopes
to sterilize products.
(22:08):
And then once that has happened, um, you
know, pretty much it's, uh, basically out of
any radioactive pathway for quite a while.
So this was a question that I had
asked him.
How long, uh, does it take for medical
devices, um, sent out to be free from,
(22:31):
let's say any type of, um, um, radiation
sterilization.
And when they do this, um, the misconception
is that medical devices is using radiation such
as gamma radiation to electro means and requiring
(22:52):
a lengthy period free from radiation.
So there's no residue, both gamma and E
beam sterilization systems, uh, do not leave behind
any residual radioactivity or chemicals on the treated
products.
Safety standards, the sterilization process precisely controlled and
validate according to the international standards, like the
ISO triple 1137 to ensure a high, uh,
(23:15):
sterility assurance level without compromising product functionality.
Now notice they say product functionality.
There's nothing in there about preserving your health.
And again, they say there's no residue to
dissipate any, uh, radioactive decay.
Uh, in a sense, since medical devices, sterilization
by radiation, are you ready for use immediately?
(23:37):
So like seconds.
So when he told me what he was
doing, he says he really wants to quit
soon.
I said, how long have you been there?
He said, I've been there for a couple
of years.
He said, but each year I'm there.
He said, I'm probably taking a few years
off my life.
And I said, why?
He says, well, I literally go right in
the rooms where the radon is.
And I said, well, uh, you know, the,
the, the, the nucleus.
And I said, well, um, I'm sure you're
(23:57):
protecting me.
He says, nope.
He says, we walk right into the rooms.
I, you have clubs.
Yeah.
He says, I have gloves.
He says, but to be honest with you,
he says, um, you know, they go right
through the clubs.
So half the time I don't even wear
the clubs.
I was like, oh, and I said, well,
have you, you know, gone to the doctor
and he says, no, he says, I already
(24:18):
know that it's taken a lot of years
off my life and I don't want to
get really depressed.
But he says, I get paid a lot
of money and I'm enjoying the life I
have.
And I was like, that's terrible that these
companies are doing this, but they're making people
sign a release.
So they can't come back and sue them,
which I think is should be unlawful.
All right.
Our fifth story for today, um, AI saves
(24:40):
kids from toxic air and layoffs.
All sensors are now protecting school children by
monitoring the pollution levels in real time.
It's a crucial innovation where over a hundred
kids.
Die daily from toxic air.
Now this isn't a makeup.
This is actually the truth guys.
So, um, as I said, the AI powers
(25:00):
cleaner air and layout schools, the AI technology
is being deployed in layouts to monitor air
quality and protect school children from a harmful
pollution.
A critical step, which is needed in the
region where over a hundred child deaths daily
are linked to toxic air using real time
data, this initiative aims to alert schools when
(25:22):
pollution pollution reaches dangerous levels, helping to safeguard
young lives and promote healthier learning environments amid
ongoing environmental challenges.
Wow.
So I think that might be eventually mandated,
but it's not yet, but I'm glad to
see they're taking those steps.
(25:43):
And our sixth story for this evening is
5g farms are here.
A Scottish breakthrough brings portable 5g to remote
farms, enabling precision robotics and cutting pesticides.
Use is the plan.
This is a huge leap forward in the
sustainable agriculture world.
(26:07):
And so with the Scottish partnership that developed
a portable 5g network to tackle unreliable mobile
signals in remote rural areas, it's empowering farmers
to use advanced robotics and precision farming technologies.
This innovative solution helps farmers save money and
reduce pesticide usage.
And it's supporting both their productivity and their
(26:30):
environmental sustainability.
So, um, it looks like you don't need
a lot of farm hands anymore because now
we can do things robotically, even on the
farm, not too long ago, we talked about
a technology that's been around for a few
years, one that allows, uh, farmers to install
a milking machine.
And so the cow would basically come to
(26:52):
the machine.
It would scan, uh, the, uh, ID, which
would basically be right near the ear, it
would pick it up.
And, um, if the, uh, cow was, uh,
uh, let's say, um, not there, you know,
but beyond the record, the maximum allowed times,
it would automatically open the gate, come in
(27:14):
and all the preferences would be saved just
for that cow.
So the cow could be very, very comfortable.
Um, but not only did they do that,
you don't realize it, but they were using
technology to make sure that the cow always
was carrying.
And so, you know, that's the only time
the cow can, can be having milk.
So for them, it was very important that
(27:35):
the cows always had, uh, cycles all the
time and that they had, uh, they weren't
going to be having baby calves all the
time, or they couldn't really make their money.
Uh, the systems even check to see whether
the first amount of milk is safe.
If it isn't, it automatically funnels it off.
So there's a system that literally checks the,
um, health level of the milk to make
sure that the cow, um, this milk is
(27:57):
healthy.
That's, uh, that's an amazing thing.
Guys are really, really amazing thing and, um,
supporting sustainability and, you know, also the, um,
productivity of a farm is very important.
Our seven story under pressure from lawmakers Delta
(28:20):
denies AI fare scandal.
Delta insists it doesn't use AI to price
or gouge travelers.
The airline claims its systems only reflect market
trends, but privacy concerns, they still remain.
And there's a lot of skeptics out there.
And I have to tell you, I don't
(28:41):
agree with them when they say that they
don't use AI to raise their fares.
I really disagree with that.
And I'm sure other airlines do it as
well.
So Delta assures Congress, there has been no
AI price tickets.
Delta airlines is under fire from the U
S lawmakers over concerns.
It could use AI to charge passengers based
on personal data, but the airline is pushing
(29:03):
back hard on this.
Usually when you push back hard, I don't
know about you, but it usually means you're
guilty.
Delta insists it has never, and will never
use AI to personalize ticket pricing, calling such
tactics unacceptable while senators warned of a future
where AI sets fares based on what you're
willing to pay.
(29:24):
Delta says it's AI tools only respond to
market trends, not individual behavior.
With Congress eyeing new legislation to ban surveillance
pricing, the battle over AI privacy and airfare
is just starting to take off and that
could mean a big increase in prices, not
just for Delta, but for many airlines.
If this is something that they want to
(29:47):
implement, it sounds like they could.
It's more of that magical supply and demand
and being able to charge based on certain
data.
Number eight, AI creates lifesaving anti-venom.
This, when I heard the story, this kind
of blew me out of the water.
All right.
(30:07):
Um, Danish researchers have developed an AI powered
anti-venom that could save millions from deadly
snake bites, especially in the rural regions where
access to treatment is, let's say rather limited.
So AI versus the venom, the future of
the snake bites survival.
(30:28):
Scientists in Denmark have harnessed the power of
artificial intelligence to develop a new kind of
anti-venom, potentially revolutionizing treatment for an estimate
of 5.4 million people bitten by snakes
globally.
That's a high number each year, according to
the WHO, the World Health Organization.
The AI design solution could drastically improve response
(30:50):
time and effectiveness, offering fresh hope in regions
like traditional anti-venom access where it's limited,
and as part of wider pushes in tech
driven healthcare, innovation from robotic caretakers to AI
powered medical imaging, this breakthrough underscores how machine
learning is transforming medicine and potentially saving lives
(31:11):
worldwide.
My only question guys is, um, where's the
data going and who has access to it?
Speaking more about planes.
Well, Boeing, um, Strike Rock, the defense now,
3,200 Boeing defense workers in St. Louis,
um, now are on strike, uh, despite what
(31:33):
they say was a 40% raise offer.
However, I recently was corrected today on TikTok
when somebody said, uh, that it was a
20%, I don't know what the real truth
is, but I thought it was interesting that
somebody responded to a post where we said
40%, we never asked for 40, we asked
for 20.
So there's obviously some type of confusion there.
The laborers unrest, uh, could delay key fighter
(31:55):
jet production for the U S military.
I bet you didn't know that Boeing makes
the planes for the U S military.
Uh, that just sounds a little, uh, messy.
So Boeing started striking this past Monday, Boeing's
defense workers, as I said, in St. Louis,
um, had made their plans to strike this
(32:17):
past midnight on Monday after rejecting the company's
latest contract offer, despite a proposed, they claim
40% average wage increase in added benefits.
But I was now told that it wasn't
40, it was 20, but yet the media
has it down as 40.
So how did it get misconstrued to 40?
If it was really 20, the international association
(32:38):
of machinists, the I a M and a
W aerospace workers, I am represents 3,200
employees who build fighter jets and drones for
the U S military says, uh, the deal
failing to reflect their crucial role in national
defense, Boeing already expanding at St. Louis facilities
(32:59):
for the new F 47, a air force
fighter has activated continuously plans, but the looming
strike here now it's happened, highlights growing labor
tensions in the defense sector.
I mean, I think you can't wait till
the last moment to decide that we're going
to take care of our people, not take
care of them now.
Right.
And number 10 guys, AI, yes.
(33:22):
AI now drafts, soccer deals, John, what are
you talking about?
AI drafts, soccer deals.
This is one.
When I first read this, I did not
believe this.
Cambridge, uh, United becomes the first football club
to use AI for writing player contracts, eliminating
(33:44):
legal costs and speeding up, uh, signings, uh,
a smart move they claim in the sports
tech world.
I think more people are going to do
this too.
So Cambridge, uh, basically taps into the AI
world to seal player deals.
Um, Cambridge United FC is making football history
by becoming the first club to use AI,
(34:05):
to draft and manage player contracts, aiming to
slash legal costs and speed up the signing
process.
Uh, and this is ahead of the September
1st deadline that they originally said they were
going to do.
It's now in place now over a month
earlier.
Partner with local startup genie AI, the club
plans to automate player and commercial agreements, freeing
(34:26):
up time, cutting expense and reinvesting in talent
and facilities.
Club, uh, chief Alex Tunbridge calls it quote
unquote, a smart decision that keeps them ahead
of the curve.
While genie AI CEO celebrates the homegrown partnership,
the system rolls out this month, uh, putting
(34:48):
AI on the team sheet or shall we
say on the mound or on the field?
Um, I think it's interesting when we can
use AI again, my question is privacy.
What data is going to be out there?
What data is going to be shared and
how are they going to protect this data?
But again, right now it's just on, uh,
(35:10):
the soccer field, but I think it could
be on a lot more fields if this
works out well, well, our 11 story Trump
tariffs crash, the tech, uh, world, the new
tariffs are slamming Asia's tech giants, disrupting chip
production and sending shockwaves through companies like Apple
(35:31):
and Nvidia.
Uh, the whole global supply chain is feeling
the heat and I'd say they're starting to
panic.
So Trump's renewed tariffs, as I said, are
shaking, uh, the industry's foundation.
This is Asia's tech manufacturing boom.
And once the region's economic powerhouse tech hubs
like Taiwan, India, and Vietnam now face steep
(35:53):
levies, which they claim is up to 40
% as American firms like Apple and Nvidia
scramble to cope with the exploding costs, the
ripple effects are massive, uh, electronic supply chains
are choking chip production is in crisis.
And even e-commerce Titans like shine and
Temu are reeling from collapsing of the tariff
(36:14):
exemptions.
While Trump claims he's fighting for us jobs,
the globalized web of tech production means both
American companies and Asian economies are now paying
the price.
Ooh, that's just not very good.
And, uh, this is a, this is definitely
(36:35):
a problem guys, the geopolitical of the world
dumping in now to our, uh, 12 story,
the UK starts to target, let's say adult
related sites, according to Ofcom launching probes into
34 adult websites to enforce new age checks
while some support child safety, others warn it's
(36:57):
a privacy, well, nightmare and disaster.
And VPN use is now spiking because people
are trying to figure out how do we
get around the system so that we can
actually still get to our content?
You know, it's sad that people do that.
And it's sad that companies have to get,
uh, into a crackdown mode.
34 adult sites are probed off cons investigating
(37:19):
34 of them run by four companies to
determine if they're complying with the new UK
age verification laws that was set out to
protect children from adult content.
Now these four probes target platforms for over
9 million users.
Let me say that again, 9 million users
and follow early investigations into four, uh, Chan
(37:41):
and other sites.
And the new rules are part of the
online safety act that was passed not too
long ago, requiring age checks across thousands of
websites, including music platforms like Spotify, while some
welcome the move as critical for child safety,
critics argue it's overreach and it's a threat
to privacy with VPN downloads, as I said,
(38:01):
starting to spike to get around this.
Users are seeking to bypass the rules despite
backlash and a 400,000 signature petition UK
government says has no plans to repeal the
law.
I get where they're going with.
I think it's good, but I think maybe
they need to make sure that they don't
(38:23):
just limit, but maybe they got to put
some of these sites out of business.
Unfortunately, guys, I hate to say that, but
there's a lot of shady webmasters out there
and they'll do anything for a buck.
Number 13, Pope Leo warns, uh, it's AI
versus humanity.
(38:44):
Pope Leo urges influencers and innovators to use
tech compassionately.
That's a word we don't hear in tech
and warns the world not to let AI
compromise human dignity or connection.
Let me say that again.
So the Pope warns the world not to
let AI compromise human dignity or connection.
(39:06):
And I think that's happening because a lot
of people just don't understand what AI can
do.
And so, um, Pope Leo is sounding the
alarm on AI urging the world to protect
human dignity as tech advances and accelerates speaking
at the Vatican's first mass for Catholic influencers.
He called on creators to use their platforms
(39:26):
for compassion, not division and warned that artificial
intelligence must serve humanity, not undermine it.
Quote unquote, our voices must carry love, not
ego end quote.
He declared as he rallied youth to build
bridges online and guard against digital age that
risks losing its soul.
You never hear about using a computer with
(39:49):
heart or using a computer or using technology
with compassion.
Those words never seemed to have had a
place before, but maybe they will know.
And I think that might be the greatest
thing in our world.
Our last story for this evening is all
about Australia.
Australia is banning YouTube for kids.
What are you talking about?
In a bold move, Australia will now ban
(40:10):
social media for kids under 16, including YouTube,
the law prioritizes child safety over platform profits
and big tech.
I'm sure, you know, is not very happy.
So Australia is moving this way to ban
YouTube for kids under 16.
It's a major, major shakeup.
(40:32):
And it's a bold step.
Australia is banning the children under 16 from
using social media platforms, including YouTube in a
big sweeping law set to take effect this
December of 2025.
The move, which reverses an earlier promise to
exempt YouTube follows rising concern about harmful content
and, uh, persuasive design features like infinite scroll.
(40:54):
The government is pushing back against legal threats
and tech lobbying, uh, insisting the law protects
children's wellbeing over platform profits.
Violators could face fines of up to you
ready guys, 32, not dollars.
Million.
I didn't say thousand.
I said million as officials roll out age
(41:15):
verification systems amid growing privacy concerns.
My question is what data are they going
to use or potentially compromise?
See that that's a big, big problem for
me.
So as we're thinking about AI, right?
Uh, for those of you don't know, I'm
actually back in school, getting my master of
science, AI, and then my PhD in that,
I think a lot of people realize AI
(41:40):
could be a threat.
Other people realize that they're going to milk
it for all they can.
Because it's their gold or silver bullet.
And the question, even in school, now it's
rising a big issue.
You can use chat GPT and other chat
systems to help you learn, but what you
don't want to do is use chat GPT
(42:01):
or other AI systems to do your homework.
You want to understand what the work is
and why things are a certain way.
I think that's a very, very big thing.
And so the more we think about, you
know, AI, the more we think about ethical.
And I think what the Pope has, uh,
instituted is very, very price.
I know he's going to get some pushback.
(42:22):
I mean, not everybody's going to like, you
always said you can love me, like me
or hate me.
And I'm going to keep doing what I'm
doing.
And I told people this before, you know,
you have the right to do anything in
your world, include being competitive, as long as
you don't harm or hurt another person, I
think that's a huge, uh, huge thing is
if you can learn how to respect other
people, if you can learn how to respect
(42:43):
other people, then you too have the power
to make a difference.
Not only in your personal life, in your
family, in your neighborhood, your entire town or
your borough, your entire County, your entire voting
(43:06):
district, right, your entire ecosystem that could be
at work, uh, that could be a volunteer
that could be at school.
I come back in school.
So we all have a capability of influencing
other people, people that have been using AI
(43:27):
more than others like myself, they turn to
us for advice.
And I tell people AI is a good
tool.
If you know how to use it correctly,
that's an interesting thing.
And we were talking about the robots before,
(43:48):
right?
So the Chinese robot that we're talking about,
uh, prices out around 16,000 and the
more advanced, larger H one goes for 90
,000.
And this is all done by deep robotics,
uh, links, but you can get that small
one we're talking about for around 18,000,
(44:09):
just $17,999 plus tax, but launching a
robot that's all terrain.
We think about an all terrain vehicle.
We know what that's about, right?
But a robot that's all terrain.
I mean, that's pretty like pretty up there.
So, as I said, while performance, I mean,
this thing can do, uh, mountains could do
(44:32):
a lot of different things.
And so, um, it features a wheel leg
hybrid design, combining the wheels speed with legs,
uh, agility and powered by deep robotics, proprietary,
intelligent motion control algorithms and achieves well, a
lot of success in doing that.
So when we think about robots, right.
(44:54):
Or we think about our world and we
think about why something is a certain way.
We could be talking about a robot, a
robot arm.
We can be talking about other types of
AI and algorithms.
And I think as more people get to
understand what a robot is and what it
isn't, I think that's going to get people
(45:16):
on a different trajectory.
If I asked you right now today, what
AI is in use around you, besides your
computer, maybe you have, um, Syria, maybe you
have, um, Alexa, you have some other voice
assistant that uses AI.
(45:39):
And I think again, AI is a tool.
So I think there needs to be more
courses to explain to people how you use
AI properly in the most respected fashion.
And I know that sounds like something that
is, I don't know.
Sounds like something that's like made up, but
it is the truth guys.
It's the truth.
(45:59):
And if we understand just one thing about
AI, I think we can understand quite a
bit.
Okay.
And by quite a bit, I mean one
thing.
I mean that we have so much potential
in our life, but we have to remember
one thing.
We have to remember that whatever we're doing
is for the greater good of all concern.
(46:21):
I think a lot of people in technology,
they, well, they get a little bit lost.
And the reason they get lost is because
they think that AI is going to be
like this magical.
And AI has a lot of potential.
I'll be honest with you, but also if
you don't know how to use it properly,
AI can, let's say really mess you up.
(46:44):
We've seen situations where AI has been used
to exploit people.
Right.
And I think that's a big problem for
a lot of people.
I think if, if you understand what that
is, I think you'll use AI in a
more, well, a more ethical fashion, right?
(47:08):
A more ethical fashion.
And by being in a more ethical fashion,
I know ladies gentlemen, that it's got to
be about you, it's got to be about
making change, but sometimes when we try to
make change too quickly, you know what happens?
(47:31):
We fall off and we fall off because
people don't realize what we've done.
And maybe you're saying to me, John, you
(47:51):
know, this is something that's pretty interesting, but
then you're also probably saying to me, John,
like, I don't get this for some reason.
And the reason you don't get it is
very, very simple.
It's because you're thinking about AI, like it
was technology from 20 years ago.
(48:14):
Right.
It's never going to be like that.
AI is something that can morph, something that
can change.
And that I believe is something that I
hope will, I hope will get people excited.
Okay.
(48:34):
And that excitement can get people to build
things.
I mean, it could do so many great
things, right?
And that's really, um, that's really a big
thing is to get what you need and
to be cognizant of the technology out there.
(48:57):
So AI is going to keep evolving guys,
every single day, all right.
It's going to keep evolving.
And if AI keeps evolving, then I feel
that you will be glad that you hung
around.
Maybe you're on a trip and maybe while
(49:18):
you're on that trip, maybe you're now like,
well, I don't know what I have to
do.
Maybe the perspective that you had yesterday is
different than the perspective you had a year
ago, two years ago, three years ago, four
years ago, 10 years ago, because our mindsets
(49:42):
change guys, our mindsets change.
And that's something that most people don't get
is that what we have focused on for
maybe our whole life up until now might
change when we suddenly get curious about something.
(50:05):
So again, everyone that chooses to use AI,
it's fantastic, but know your purpose.
And if you don't know what AI can
do, well, there's nothing wrong with just exploring
it, but you know, when you're using AI
for something that's not good, when your intent
is to harm or hurt another person, you
know, when AI is going to be a
(50:28):
problem, when it comes into an ethical issue,
right, AI is great at doing research, AI
is not perfect.
Like let's get that right through the get
-go.
AI is not perfect.
Artificial intelligence.
It's been around for a while, but we're
(50:49):
starting to morph into a very interesting time,
you guys all know about the password caper
that's coming up and pretty soon we need
to come up with a whole bunch of
new algorithms so that computers and technology are
going to remain safe.
But did you ever think there'd be a
(51:12):
robot dog, right?
You probably remember Spot.
I know I remember Spot from Boston.
It was Boston Dynamics.
We don't hear a lot about Spot, is
the robot from, you know, from Boston Dynamics,
and that robot is a pretty amazing robot,
okay?
(51:32):
It's a four-legged, agile, mobile robot known
for its ability to navigate various terrains, including
stairs and obstacles, and it can be used
for inspections, data collection, and even handle hazardous
situations.
So we have something like this, guys, right
here in the United States of America.
(51:53):
They can use things like this on a
battlefield, and I think this is a big
thing, so Spot has mobility, it uses multiple
sensors, including stereo cameras, to perceive its environment
and avoid obstacles.
Stereo cameras mean basically if we have two
eyes, well, the robot has two eyes.
(52:14):
Think of a camera as an eye, and
basically you're getting vision.
Now the robot's not going to see the
way we see, but it is going to
get data and be able to perceive that.
So Spot is used in various industries like
remote inspections, data collection, and incident response.
(52:36):
Spot can be used to investigate hazardous situations,
potentially preventing injuries, or issues to human personnel.
Boston Dynamics continues, guys, to keep expanding the
world of robotics.
But what I want to say is when
(52:58):
we start to come up with a premise
that a robot can do something and it
can save a human's life, by that I
mean that when somebody gets harmed or could
potentially be in a life threatening situation, when
we send robots in that are very capable,
very knowledgeable, first of all, we don't risk
(53:22):
the robot being harmed, but the robot can
operate on pure precision every single time.
A human can't do that.
Maybe the human gets stressed.
Maybe the human is not used to this
kind of condition or the heat or the
cold, right?
Robots just operate at negative four, negative five,
(53:46):
right?
Or five degrees or four degrees, all the
way up to 131 degrees.
That's pretty amazing.
Now you might be asking, and it's a
very good question to ask, what is, you
know, the heat range for Spot from Boston
(54:06):
Dynamics, and I think if we were to
ask that question today, you guys would be
very surprised because it goes from negative 20
to 25, negative 20 to 25, right?
Negative 20, excuse me, negative 20, pardon me,
(54:27):
negative 20 to 55, excuse me, negative 20
to 55, the ambient temperature for it is
about 35, that's Celsius, but that's something I
believe that's pretty important.
Right?
If we convert 33 Celsius and 55 Celsius,
(54:52):
we probably will get a number that'll blow
you away.
Okay.
It can operate in the 91.4 degree
Fahrenheit range all the way up to 131
degrees Fahrenheit, that means it makes it perfect
for different things like rescue missions, and because
(55:17):
it's bigger, drones are small, right?
But because this robot is bigger, because it
can operate on so many different planes, that
can give us a world where not only
are we going to be able to stay
safe, be able to help more people, and
(55:38):
never have a sick day called in by
the robot, that's pretty incredible.
Maybe you want a robot to come in
and check levels of a lake or something,
or maybe you want it to figure out
something for you, it can do that.
So a robot is a computer, okay?
But it has different inputs and outputs.
(56:01):
Now we know an input is like your
keyboard, your mouse, et cetera, right?
Outputs are like your speakers, your monitor.
So imagine that and imagining that a robot
has things like sensors, okay?
And the sensors to the robot are in
a sense, what's going to have it traverse
to other levels, right?
(56:23):
I think some people, when you think about
robotics and you think about AI, they have
a natural cohesion together.
But what I want to tell you is
that so many people I know will want
to learn AI, not for the reason that
you and I probably want to learn AI,
which is to help other people, and there's
millions of applications for AI today, there's millions
(56:47):
of them.
But what I want to share with you
is, is that I think AI should be
licensed because if AI is licensed, and I
don't mean that it has to pay money
for it, but that people are using AI
for something in business, they want to keep
track of it.
They want to know that everything's going to
work well.
I think that's a very, very big fear
(57:08):
of some people, but they don't want to
touch AI because they don't know what's going
to happen or where something's going to go.
What have I said to you tomorrow?
You could do anything you want with AI,
but because of your curiosities, you might venture
into areas that, let's say, may not be
appropriate.
They may be harming somebody, and we don't
(57:30):
want to do that, guys.
We do not want to do that.
So thinking about technology, whether it's collecting data,
whether it's trying to share information back, or
it's trying to help us in a way
that we didn't even know was capable, I
think that's the real magic of taking the
(57:51):
kind of the fusion, if you will, of
AI and robotics.
And what else do robots have?
Robotics have motors, right?
So a robot has motors, and so there's
sensors.
And so the motors activate when certain things
happen.
So if, like, for example, they call the
procedure walk, it would walk.
And it would use different sensors to know
where it is.
