AI isn’t just a tool anymore. It is changing the way we think, work, and even fall in love. In this episode of Augmented Voices, we dive into some of the most mind-blowing ways AI is reshaping our world.

We explore how an economist used AI to write a peer-reviewed paper in just an hour and what this means for academia. Then we break down LinkedIn’s AI-powered job search, which matches people based on skills instead of job titles. Could this make the job market more fair or will AI reinforce old biases? And finally, we get into AI’s role in dating as platforms like Tinder use machine learning to go beyond swiping and predict real compatibility.

From research and careers to relationships, AI is rewriting the rules. But are we ready for it? Tune in as we explore the impact, the risks, and the big questions we should all be asking.

In this episode of Augmented Voices , we break down Microsoft’s biggest Copilot update yet — and it’s all about context. First, we look at Researcher, a new tool that pulls from your emails, meetings and files to give answers that actually know what you’re working on. Then we dig into Analyst, which doesn’t just spit out numbers but shows its thinking step-by-step. Plus, voice and deep reasoning features are now free for everyone, and pricing changes mean more flexibility for teams building smart agents. So is Copilot becoming the AI assistant we were promised? Let’s find out.…
 
In this episode of Augmented Voices , we look at three massive AI breakthroughs that are turning heads. First, an Italian newspaper publishes a full issue written entirely by AI – no human writers. Then, we explore a medical model diagnosing cancer with over 99% accuracy, spotting things even experts miss. And finally, AI agents are now completing complex tasks on their own, with no human help – and getting better at it every few months. It’s not just about tools anymore – AI is starting to act like a co-worker. So what does this mean for journalism, healthcare, and the future of work? Is it brilliant progress or something we should be worried about? Tune in and decide for yourself.…
 
On this episode of Augmented Voices , we explore the fascinating collision between AI and everyday life. Join us as we discuss how artificial intelligence is cracking humour (with AI memes surprisingly outperforming human ones in blind tests), transforming health management with clever receipt-scanning technology that counts calories instantly, reshaping filmmaking through the Russo brothers' ambitious new AI studio aimed at democratising the industry, and revolutionising workplace productivity with Zoom's autonomous assistant that schedules meetings and assigns tasks without human intervention. As the boundaries between human and machine capabilities grow increasingly blurred, what might this mean for our society, creativity, and the very nature of work? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion about our AI-augmented future.…
 
AI is moving fast, and some of the latest tools are pushing the limits of what’s possible—maybe a little too far. In this episode of Augmented Voices , we break down the craziest new AI tools that just dropped. Snapchat’s AI-powered video lenses are adding next-level effects but locking them behind a paywall. Moon Valley’s AI video generator, Miray, claims to sidestep copyright issues with fully licensed training data. Same.dev can clone entire websites with shocking accuracy, raising major ethical and legal questions. Mirage AI is generating ultra-realistic fake user-generated content for ads, blurring the line between marketing and deception. And Cartesia’s Sonic 2.0 can clone a voice from just three seconds of audio, making voice deepfakes more convincing than ever. Are these breakthroughs exciting innovations or warning signs of what’s to come? We break it all down.…
 
AI is transforming industries at breakneck speed—whether we’re ready or not. In this episode of Augmented Voices , we explore some of the most fascinating and controversial developments in AI today.
