Welcome to our weekly edition of AI & Finance™!
Hello, Friends, thank you for joining us as we wrap up another week where technology news might be a source of respite from the fear, anger and overall cacophony of political life-and thankfully there was a lot to talk about in artificial intelligence and financial services . We dive right into the AI and authenticity debate in a very long AI & Finance headlines column, while AI Education discusses the no-code development movement. A big fundraising round from Databricks leads our Top 5 VC deals list this week, while AI Intelligence mops up some of the other goings on, including continued fallout from the recent MIT AI pilot study. And, timely as always, Al & Ivy wrap things up the newsletter with a discussion of the Fed and monetary policy... CHECK IT ALL OUT BELOW!
With AI becoming better at writing, speaking-even appearing in videos-like a human, we find ourselves asking how much of what we read, see and hear on our computer and television screens is actually real. No, we're not losing our grasp on reality, we've always had these feelings to some extent. For example, we've never been able to watch televised music performances from awards shows and sporting events, knowing in advance that we're almost certainly hearing a backing track and watching singers lip synch their vocals and bands mime their instruments. The inauthenticity, no matter how many justifications are used, bothered us... CONTINUE HERE

What if creating computer programs was so easy, anyone could do it? Welcome to another week of AI Education, where, this week, we're going to talk about low-code and no-code software development and its collision with artificial intelligence-a collision that has software developers pondering the future of their industry. To be clear, we are not a computer programmer, though we have proficient coders in our family. We were introduced to coding in elementary school, programming lines of Basic on Apple II computers, but it's not a skill that we honed or retained beyond school. But even our rudimentary education in coding taught... CONTINUE HERE
This week's venture capital funding announcements are a return to form, led by three transactions exceeding the $100 million threshold. The top reported deal, per FinSMEs, came from a familiar name, San Francisco-based Databricks, which raised a $1 billion Series K in part to "accelerate its AI strategy, expanding Agent Bricks, launching the new Lakebase category, and fueling global growth," according to its announcement. We took a bit of a dive into Databricks in a recent AI Education column. Our second-place announcement comes from the AI development space, where Baseten, also based in San Francisco, brought in a $150 million Series D. The... CONTINUE HERE
This week AI revealed its fractures and its force-enterprise failures, billion-dollar copyright reckonings, and infrastructure strains colliding with new breakthroughs. The story of AI is as volatile as it is unstoppable. Enterprise AI Still Drowning-MIT's State of AI in Business 2025 report shows 95% of pilots fail-not from lack of tech, but poor alignment with real workflows. Authors Hit Big Settlements- Anthropic agreed to a $1.5B payout over unauthorized training on copyrighted books-a landmark in the generative AI legal era. Data Centers Under Pressure-U.S. spending on AI-driven data centers hit $40B annualized in June, while analysts warn global... CONTINUE HERE

In this week's podcast, Al & Ivy unpack the mechanics and implications of U.S. monetary policy-exploring the Federal Reserve's role, the tools it uses, and the broader economic impact of its decisions. The content was generated through NotebookLM from this source: "Introduction to U.S. Economy: Monetary Policy" (Congressional Research Service, April 1, 2025). The provided text offers a primer on how the Federal Reserve manages U.S. monetary policy, primarily through the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). It explains the Fed's dual mandate-pursuing maximum employment and stable prices-and describes the federal funds rate (FFR) as the central tool for influencing short-term... CONTINUE HERE
