NEW EPISODE TOMORROW: Dr. ‪@EricTopolSRTI‬ believes AI can predict disease decades before symptoms appear, and he's argued that AI without doctors may outperform doctors with AI. But someone has to set the rules. And right now, the people most likely to write them aren't doctors or patients, but rather insurers, tech companies, and hospital administrators.

This week on Agents of Tech we’re exploring prevention, power, and who really controls medical AI, with Dr. Eric Topol, cardiologist, bestselling author, and Founder and Director of the ‪@ScrippsResearch‬ Translational Institute.

Tune in tomorrow at 9:00am ET for our new episode with hosts Autria Godfrey, Stephen Horn, and Laila Rizvi. And be sure to join the discussion in the comments.

Can AI Create Materials That Never Existed?

‪@CuspAI‬ was co-founded by Max Welling, a pioneer of modern AI. But instead of building chatbots, he and his company are creating and harnessing AI to discover new materials for everything from carbon capture to water purification, plastic alternatives, and more efficient batteries.

If this works, it could change everything. But can it? And if so, when?

We’re talking science, scale, and when CuspAI will be able to deliver with company co-founder Max Welling on this week's episode of Agents of Tech.

Do you believe that all disease will be cured within a decade thanks to AI? Or that 50% of white collar work can easily be automated this year? Our guest, Immunologist ‪@DeryaUnutmazMD‬ of ‪@jacksonlaboratory‬, does. He says that if you can survive the next five years, you will live for the next 50.

Is he early with his predictions, or is he overselling what AI can actually deliver?

We're talking AI, AGI, SGI, disease, and the so-called bio singularity on Agents of Tech with hosts Stephen Horn, Autria Godfrey, and Laila Rizvi.

As AI gets more capable, will it make public information more trustworthy, or less? Does news media have to be biased to be financially successful? Is AI a threat to Wikipedia or will we always be reliant on the human component when it comes to seeking trustworthy information?

These are timely questions about AI, information, technology and trust that affect us all – which is why Agents of Tech hosts Stephen Horn, Autria Godfrey and Laila Rizvi are interviewing the founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales.

NEW EPISODE TOMORROW: The US and China control over 90 percent of the world's AI computing power. In practice, that means most countries rely on American or Chinese firms, chips, and rules to access the most advanced systems ever built.

Some call it partnership. Others call it dependency.

In our new episode, Agents of Tech hosts Autria Godfrey and Laila Rizvi interview Ryan Wain, Senior Director of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, who advises governments on how to navigate this. His answer? Stop trying to compete. In fact, he calls self-sufficiency a "vanity project."

But here's the question: if you're not one of the two countries holding the keys, what leverage do you actually have? And if you are America or China, should you share this power at all?
