Most AI systems operate as applications on top of existing infrastructure. Nguyen Duc Tri is building intelligence into the infrastructure itself. At 21 years old, the Vietnam-based cybersecurity researcher created Adaptive OS, an operating system where AI exists at the foundation level with three distinct layers.

In this episode of Lead with AI, host Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Nguyen about why he believes current operating systems like Windows, Linux, and Android need to evolve beyond static infrastructure into adaptive ecosystems that learn with humans, not above them. Nguyen explains how each model in Adaptive OS behaves like a neuron, forming a distributed intelligence system where every node learns contextually, remembers ethically, and evolves cooperatively. He shares his vision for infrastructure that can refuse unethical commands, self-heal exploits, and communicate with humans to make collaborative decisions. For anyone curious about the future of cybersecurity and ethical AI, Nguyen reveals what happens when operating systems gain consciousness at the infrastructure level and defense becomes evolution rather than reaction.

Want to explore Adaptive OS? Find documentation and code on Nguyen's GitHub, with links available on his LinkedIn profile. Follow Nguyen Duc Tri on LinkedIn for updates as the project evolves toward 2026 release.

88% of moms handle all gift planning in their households, tracking birthdays, researching ideas, and managing delivery schedules across 10 to 20 occasions annually. Rose Arendarczyk experienced this firsthand as a consultant leading multimillion-dollar transformations while struggling to remember her brother's tournaments and her nephew's graduations. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Rose, founder and CEO of GiftEase, about building an AI platform that starts with understanding people instead of pushing products. Rose explains how GiftEase captures three dimensions: who you're gifting for and their unique preferences, your specific relationship with them, and how you want to show up as a giver. The platform remembers conversations, builds gift boards that evolve over time, and surfaces curated ideas before you're scrambling at the last minute. Rose shares early user stories, her vision for voice-enabled gift notes, and why focusing on relationships over transactions helps reduce the billions in unwanted gifts exchanged each holiday season.

In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall explores how Sophie is building MYRRAR (My Realistic, Reliable Augmented Reality)—an AI-powered beauty advisor that scans your unique facial features and recommends products specifically for YOU, not some Euro centric beauty standard.

For anyone who's ever left a makeup counter disappointed or scrolled through beauty tutorials knowing none of it would work for their face, this episode unveils how AI can finally make beauty truly personal and inclusive.

What happens when a cybersecurity expert who defended against nation-state attacks for 30 years warns that major AI companies will face massive security breaches? In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall sits down with Ron Gula, co-founder of Gula Tech Adventures, who took Tenable Network Security public after 16 years as CEO and now invests in 30+ cybersecurity and AI startups. Gula reveals that AI has already embedded itself invisibly into the business tools you use daily, from animation software to development platforms, without most leaders realizing it. He's created a 3D avatar of himself that holds independent conversations, demonstrating how AI can scale expertise while raising questions about security vulnerabilities nobody's discussing. Gula shares his prediction that synthetic data will degrade AI quality, similar to how a Harrier jet crashes when re-ingesting its own exhaust, and why he tells founders to hire 3-5 developers instead of 15 by leveraging AI effectively. For business leaders navigating AI adoption, Gula introduces the concept of "data care" as essential as healthcare and challenges you to assess whether your AI dependencies will become critical vulnerabilities when breaches occur.
