AI Insights - Tomorrow’s Tech Today

In this episode, Gregorio and Fany sit down with Martin Schmoll, Director at TD Reply, to explore how AI is reshaping modern marketing. Martin starts by unpacking the idea of AI Listening—moving beyond traditional social listening to systems that interpret signals across platforms, markets, and formats to surface richer, more strategic insights for brands. The discussion then shifts to agentic automation along the marketing value chain: how AI agents can orchestrate workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and support decisions, while still leaving room for human creativity, judgment, and strategic direction.

In this deep-dive episode, Gregorio and Fany sit down with Professor Pei Wang, AGI pioneer and creator of the Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System (NARS), to rethink what we really mean by “general intelligence.” Professor Wang traces his journey from early AI research in Beijing and Indiana to coining and shaping the modern field of AGI, arguing that intelligence should be seen as one unified problem rather than a collection of isolated subfields. He explains why AGI is not a single technology, but a family of approaches with very different goals and assumptions.
