#97 - Three Breakthroughs: The AI Arms Race

In this Three Breakthroughs episode of the Alumni Ventures Tech Optimist Podcast, host Mike Collins and Lucas Pasch explore three transformative advancements shaping the future. First, they break down the AI arms race, where tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are pouring tens of billions into AI infrastructure, fueling competition and raising questions about market concentration and innovation. Next, they examine the unbundling of social media, with platforms like BlueSky gaining traction by offering decentralized, user-controlled experiences that challenge Big Tech’s dominance. Finally, they dive into a groundbreaking cancer vaccine trial from Dana-Farber, where personalized immunotherapy has delivered astonishing results—zero recurrences in advanced kidney cancer patients after three years. These breakthroughs are redefining industries and opening new possibilities for technology, medicine, and digital interaction. Tune in for a forward-looking discussion on where these shifts are headed next!
