Welcome to our weekly edition of AI & Finance™!
Hello, friends, this week we have to address that our newsletter (which we love, and hope you love, too) is really not the same so far this year. We have a pretty good excuse, of course: We're reminded every day of the loss and absence of our founder, Cindy Taylor, and that she is absolutely irreplaceable, and the proof is all over these AI & Finance newsletters. We're still figuring out the kinks in getting our Al & Ivy podcasts published, so we're running a popular previous podcast in the newsletter, with hopes of having it back on track soon. We also noticed an issue with our AI Intelligence top 10 news column, which is mostly written using ChatGPT. Somewhere along the line we lost our author's note crediting ChatGPT with doing the work, violating our own policies on disclosing our AI use. Yikes! Yet here we are with another week full of interesting and useful news items for you, and that's one of the big reasons we're committed to keeping the Digital Wealth News torch aloft. Thank you, dear reader, for bearing with us as we return to form. We hope you'll find this weeks content as illuminating as we do... CHECK IT ALL OUT BELOW!
We'd all better get into artificial intelligence, and get good at working with it, too. AI isn't a perk. It isn't a value add. It's table stakes. It's an expectation. Not just for the financial services industry, but now, for everybody who wants to work and thrive and participate in the greater economy. Recent news and research certainly plays that out, we're going to talk more about the vibe here than the actual numbers, but we'll give you a little bit of both to chew on. How about the survey from AI corporate finance automation platform Yooz, that found that two-thirds of corporate... CONTINUE HERE
It's said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It might also be worth a whole lot of money. Welcome to AI Education, where, this week, our topic will be preventive AI, which is less a technology in and of itself, but instead more of a paradigm shift in technology with provocative implications for humanity, particularly in realms like finance and health. Let's stick with the health metaphor for a moment, because we'll place particular emphasis on preventive artificial intelligence's health care applications in this piece. Think of some of the basic diagnostic and monitoring technology in a hospital... CONTINUE HERE
Venture capital activity switched back into acceleration mode this week, with six fundraising announcements coming in above the $100 million threshold. The biggest announcement, per FinSMEs, came from Cambridge, Mass.-based Cambridge Mobile Telematics, which raised $350 million in "strategic" funding to "scale its global road safety platform, advance its DriveWell Atlas AI models for real-time crash detection and risk assessment, and accelerate the adoption of its Universal Driving Score," according to the announcement. Cambridge Mobile Telematics operates a road-safety platform using data from smartphones, devices and connected vehicles. Our second-place announcement was from Dallas-based healthcare data platform provider Verily, which raised a $300... CONTINUE HERE
This week underscored how artificial intelligence is rapidly consolidating power among major technology firms while simultaneously diffusing across governments, financial institutions, and enterprise software ecosystems. Leading AI labs pushed forward with new model capabilities and commercial integrations, while regulators and policymakers intensified efforts to define governance frameworks. Meanwhile, financial markets and corporate strategies continue to adjust to AI's growing influence on productivity, labor, and competitive positioning. The following ten stories highlight the most important developments shaping the AI landscape over the past week. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta expanded investments in hyperscale data centers and long-term energy contracts to power next-generation AI systems... CONTINUE HERE
In this week's podcast, Al & Ivy unpack the history and traditions of Labor Day-exploring its origins, cultural meaning, and modern significance. The content was generated through NotebookLM from this source: "What to know about Labor Day and its history" published by the Associated Press. The provided text offers a comprehensive overview of Labor Day, highlighting its 19th century labor movement roots, the first parade in 1882, and President Grover Cleveland's 1894 decision to make it a federal holiday following the Pullman strike. It explains how the holiday evolved from union activism into a three-day weekend that now features travel, cookouts, and... CONTINUE HERE
