  • Can AI Really Outsmart Humans Or Is It All Just Hype? (2025/654)
    Dec 18 2025

    Are you worried that artificial intelligence is about to take over the world and replace your job? Before you panic about the robot uprising, you might want to see what happens when you ask AI to play chess against itself.


    In this episode, Charly covers:


    ✅ Why purpose-built chess computers like Deep Blue and AlphaZero mastered chess decades ago, yet large language models struggle with basic rules

    📌 How ChatGPT moved a pawn backwards, which breaks the fundamental rules of chess and demonstrates AI's pattern-matching limitations

    🛡️ The hilarious moment Google Bard hallucinated a chess piece into existence and confidently claimed checkmate with a knight that never existed

    ✅ Why AI is brilliant for drafts, summaries, content generation and repetitive tasks, but should never be trusted to make decisions or reason through problems

    📌 How Charly uses AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to save hours every week on social media posts, whilst still quality assuring every output

    🛡️ The practical approach to AI adoption that focuses on genuine productivity gains rather than believing the hype about world domination

  • How Can Small Businesses Protect Against Cyber Security Threats? With Steven Wright (S2025,E34)
    Dec 14 2025

    Small businesses face cyber security challenges that extend far beyond installing antivirus software. Many business owners believe cyber security is solely an IT problem, but data breaches, social engineering attacks, and compliance requirements create serious legal and financial risks that can destroy a business overnight.


    In this episode, Charly covers:


    ✅ Why cyber security must be treated as a business priority, not just an IT concern

    📌 Understanding data governance and protecting your business information supply chain

    🔗 The rising threat of data poisoning, deep fakes, and social engineering targeting executives

    🛡️ Practical steps for validating the information your business relies on for decisions

    ✅ How to implement incident response planning before a crisis hits your business

    📌 Why compliance requirements are creating new legal risks for small businesses across all industries


    Steven Wright brings over 30 years of technical expertise, 50+ patents, and recognition in the NC State ECE Hall of Fame. As a practising cyber security attorney in the United States, he helps businesses understand that cyber security encompasses technology, legal compliance, and business continuity planning.
