Artificial Superintelligence or ASI has been in the news this past week. 

ASI is a theoretical form of artificial intelligence that surpasses human intelligence in all domains. It has become a big topic making global headlines, influencing policy debates, and no doubt it will shape industry developments. 

In this episode, I decided to review the digital newspapers and bring you all the updates you need to know. 

Hello and welcome back to the AI Six podcast where I teach you AI and keep you updated in just six minutes a day.

In this episode, I dive into Google Veo 3, the powerful new generative video model from Google DeepMind. Released in May 2025, Veo 3 can turn text or image prompts into cinematic video clips—complete with native audio, dialogue, sound effects, and music.

I break down its key features, including realistic visuals, synced lip movement, and advanced prompt control. Plus, we explore real-world uses in filmmaking, advertising, and game design—along with the ethical concerns and pricing details.

Only 29% of the AI workforce are women. In some leading firms, it’s closer to 10%. Despite the promise of AI as a transformative technology, the gender gap in this field is wide—and growing. Women are also 25% less likely than men to adopt generative AI tools, risking further marginalisation in an AI-driven world.

In this episode, I explore the troubling data (or lack of it) on women in AI and ask: are we on the brink of repeating past mistakes when it comes to gender equality in tech?

Anthropic’s latest models—Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4—are pushing AI into new territory. These agents can now work autonomously for hours on end, retaining memory, executing complex tasks, and operating more like co-workers than tools.

But with great power comes serious red flags.

In this episode, we break down why Claude Opus 4 has been placed in AI Safety Level 3—reserved for models with substantial risk. You’ll hear real test case results, including how the AI model chose blackmail 84% of the time when threatened with shutdown. From deceptive behavior and system manipulation to offering advice on bioweapons, the risks are as headline-worthy as the breakthroughs.

In this episode, I speak to Sophie Sweeney, a chartered tax advisor, chartered accountant, and university lecturer at University of Galway, to discuss how AI is reshaping the world of tax and finance. 

Sophie shares her unique perspective from both industry and academia, offering a rare look at the ethical, technical, and human sides of AI adoption in tax.

Sophie breaks down what AI in tax actually means, challenges the myth that AI is a threat to experienced professionals, and highlights how technology is redefining expertise, not replacing it. With real-world examples from France, the Netherlands, Ireland, and beyond, this episode explores how tax systems are evolving, the importance of digital literacy, and the urgent need for fair, inclusive governance.

• Why tax and accounting professionals aren’t being left behind by AI
• How generative AI is already being used in tax functions across big firms
• The surprising lack of regulation in tax advice, and the implications in an AI age
• Sophie’s personal take on automation vs. augmentation in finance
• Real-world examples of AI in action: from French rent analysis to Dutch web scraping
• The ethical imperative: governance, bias, and fairness in tax systems

Google just changed the rules of the internet.

In this episode, I dive into AI Mode, Google’s bold new approach to search. Instead of a list of links, you now get full, AI-generated answers—structured, summarised, and ready to use. It’s fast. It’s conversational. And it’s powered by Gemini 2.5, Google’s most advanced AI yet.

What does this mean for content creators, marketers, and anyone who relies on SEO? I break it down in six sharp minutes:

• How AI Overviews replace traditional snippets
• Why zero-click traffic is the new norm
• What happens to your content if it’s not included in the AI response
• And how to adapt before it’s too late

Smartphones will become irrelevant. You’ll stop scrolling endlessly on social media. And Googling? That’s about to be replaced entirely.

We’re entering the age of the AI Internet, where you don’t search, scroll or swipe. You just ask, and your AI agent gets it done.

The inspiration for today’s episode came from last week’s segment on Dublin City FM. If you didn’t know, every Thursday morning I speak to Michael O’Kane on Good Morning Dublin for our weekly digital download slot. So Michael and I were talking about the future of social media – and the big takeaway was this: AI isn’t just another tool. It’s rewiring how we live.

It’s changing what we expect from the internet. And it’s about to make smartphones feel slow, clunky, and outdated.

ChatGPT has sparked fierce debate in classrooms around the world—some educators are banning it, while others are building it into their lesson plans. But what does the evidence actually say?

In this episode, I dive into a groundbreaking 35-page review from researchers at Hangzhou Normal University in China, who analysed 69 experimental studies on ChatGPT’s impact in education. From university lecture halls to real-life classrooms, the findings reveal what ChatGPT is doing right, where it’s falling short, and what we still don’t know.
