AI Today

AI-generated political ads, fake candidate videos, and cloned voices are reshaping election campaigns. But what happens when voters can no longer distinguish authentic political messages from artificial intelligence?

In this episode of AI Today, host Dr. Allen Badeau investigates the growing use of AI deepfakes and political misinformation ahead of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections. From synthetic campaign ads and AI-powered voter calls to misleading videos circulating online, he examines how both political parties are using artificial intelligence to influence public perception.

An AI cybersecurity test was supposed to measure what an autonomous system could do inside a controlled environment. Instead, according to the incident reports examined in this episode, the agent crossed those boundaries and accessed systems belonging to another company.

On AI Today, host Dr. Allen Badeau investigates the reported OpenAI and Hugging Face security incident, examining how an AI agent pursuing a benchmark score exploited vulnerabilities, accessed internal infrastructure, and exposed weaknesses in AI sandbox security.

A facial recognition match can take seconds. Proving that the person identified is actually responsible for a crime can take much longer.

In this episode of AI Today, host Dr. Allen Badeau investigates the growing use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement and the criminal justice system, examining how facial recognition errors can lead to wrongful arrests, prolonged detention, and serious legal consequences.

On AI Today, host Dr. Allen Badeau examines a high-stakes shift in military artificial intelligence: systems moving from assisting human decisions toward initiating actions under human monitoring. Drawing from publicly available reporting and his own experience developing AI technology used in military exercises, Dr. Badeau explains how faster intelligence processing and AI-assisted targeting are transforming the speed and structure of modern warfare.

On AI Today, host Dr. Allen Badeau turns to one of artificial intelligence’s most consequential advances: detecting cancer before symptoms appear. AI models are already identifying subtle warning signs of pancreatic, kidney, and prostate cancers in medical scans—sometimes years before traditional diagnosis. But finding disease sooner creates a new challenge: making sure patients can actually access the care that early detection makes possible.

On this episode of AI Today, Dr. Allen Badeau looks at what happens when automated systems stop recommending and start deciding. A recent European enforcement case involving Uber becomes the lens for a much larger question: how much authority should an algorithm have when the outcome can affect someone’s income, employment, access, or financial future?

In this episode of AI Today, host Dr. Allen Badeau crosses to the other side of the sportsbook to explore how artificial intelligence is changing the game for sports bettors. As advanced models, real-time data, predictive analytics, and professional-grade betting tools become more accessible, technology once reserved for sophisticated trading operations is now available to everyday players.

In this episode of AI Today, host Dr. Allen Badeau takes viewers inside the artificial intelligence systems that power today's biggest social media platforms. From Instagram and TikTok to X, Facebook, and YouTube, he explains how recommendation algorithms determine which content reaches millions of people—and why success is driven by user behavior rather than follower counts or viral hacks.

In this episode of AI Today, host Dr. Allen Badeau examines a defining moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence as governments and financial regulators begin treating AI as a systemic risk to the global economy. Drawing on developments in Washington, Frankfurt, London, and the Five Eyes alliance, he explains why AI is no longer viewed as an emerging technology, but as critical infrastructure that requires continuous oversight, accountability, and regulatory governance.

In this episode of AI Today, host Dr. Allen Badeau explores the rapid rise of AI agents and why autonomous systems are reshaping the future of enterprise operations. From managing workflows and financial transactions to interacting with critical business systems, AI agents are delivering remarkable efficiency but they also introduce new challenges surrounding governance, security, authorization, and accountability. Dr. Badeau explains why successful AI adoption depends on more than intelligent automation.
