Liz Reid on What Publishers Get Wrong About AI Jun 26, 2026

This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis sit down with Liz Reid, VP and Head of Google Search, for a wide-ranging conversation about AI's transformation of the search product billions of people use every day. Liz makes the case that personalization could actually help small publishers find their exact audience rather than making them invisible, explains what the "ignore" bug revealed about how AI Overviews work under the hood, and talks about why users are adapting to natural language search faster than Google expected.
Also in this episode: how preferred sources and subscriptions fit into AI search, Jeff challenges Liz on filter bubbles, and Liz's take on whether "search" is even the right word anymore. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.

Joelle Pineau on Why Sovereign AI Just Got Real Jun 19, 2026

Days after the US government forced Anthropic to pull Mythos 5 and Fable 5 offline, Cohere Chief AI Officer Joelle Pineau joins Jason Howell to react.

Also in this conversation: why Cohere open-sourced its North Mini Code model, what stops an agent from taking an action it shouldn't, how AI is changing entry-level work, and where AI actually belongs in medicine and drug discovery.

When Agents Negotiate With Agents with Microsoft Research's Saleema Amershi Feb 28, 2026

This episode is sponsored by Airia. Get started today at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠airia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Saleema Amershi is a Partner Research Manager at Microsoft Research AI Frontiers, where she leads the teams behind AutoGen and Magentic-One. She joins the AI Inside podcast to discuss what happens when AI agents stop working in isolation and start collaborating, transacting, and negotiating with each other at scale. We cover the challenges of multi-agent orchestration, why current frontier models show a dangerous first-proposal bias that favors speed over quality, and how her team built the Magentic Marketplace to simulate agent-to-agent commerce. We also dig into agent manipulation, the tension between walled gardens and open ecosystems, and what duty of care means when an AI is acting on your behalf.

0:24:07 - The first-proposal bias

What Are AI Agents Doing On Moltbook? Feb 04, 2026

This episode is sponsored by Airia. Get started today at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠airia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis break down the rise of Moltbook, the social network for AI agents, and how it claims to let 1.5 million bots argue, joke, and organize like humans. We explore what it means when almost all of those agents are actually human‑driven proxies, and whether this is a playful experiment or a worrying blueprint for AI‑driven behavior at scale. We also question why anyone would need a social network just for AI agents, and what security and privacy risks OpenClaw‑style tools introduce when combined with an engagement‑driven platform that rewards risky actions.

Ben Goertzel, founder and CEO of SingularityNET, joins us to argue for an open path to AGI. We unpack what “open source” should include beyond code, how access to training data, pipelines, and compute shapes who can actually participate, and why “open weights” can still fall short. We also ask who needs convincing, what incentives could move the market, and how decentralized infrastructure fits into his vision for building advanced AI outside a handful of mega labs.
