Tim Mohin wrote “Changing Business from the Inside Out: A Tree-Hugger’s Guide to Working in Corporations” back in 2012, after three decades in sustainability — first in government, with the US Environmental Protection Agency, and then at companies like Intel, where he served as director of sustainable development. He went on to head the Global Reporting Initiative, which administers the GRI standards for sustainability. He recently helped launmch ESG data provider Persefoni and hosts his own podcast, “Sustainability Decoded with Tim and Caitlin.” We look back on 40 years of sustaiability finance and ahead to the future of Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance (ESG) reporting — its potential for driving real change, its prospects for employment, and its inherent limitations.

Remember crypto? Only a year ago, it seemed like the future of finance, but now it's a smoldering crater in the ground. Between large corporations and everyday people that got caught up in the grift, trillions of dollars vanished seemingly overnight. But what was it like in the heart of this surreal, million-dollar-monkey-jpeg storm? Zeke Faux, investigative reporter and author of Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall, joins Adam to deliver a captivating and hilarious account of the sharp ascent and rapid collapse of the world of cryptocurrency.

The Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown for April 6, 2023, focused on regulators and OpenAI, ChatGPT’s popularity compared to the iPhone, deepfake disclosure, authentication and ownership, monetizing those generative AI models, what’s Meta doing, and more.

Bret Kinsella (that’s me) hosts this week with guests Nina Schick, the author of the 2020 book Deepfakes, and Eric Schwartz, head writer at Voicebot.ai. The top stories in generative AI land this week include:

ChatGPT Gets Banned

• A time-out chair for OpenAI and some unfortunate users: Italy took action. Canada opened an investigation. France received complaints. Germany and Ireland indicated they’d like to get involved. Regulators have OpenAI in their sights. How will it go down?

ChatGPT vs. Alexa vs. iPhone

• Compared to what?: ChatGPT is a phenomenon, but how does it stack up to the hype of earlier products? We compare ChatGPT to some notable break-out hits.

Deepfake Solutions

• Provenance in the unreal valley: It’s a deepfake, but you want to disclose its synthetic origins. You also want to show its history and ownership. How about a cryptographic signature from Truepic that tracks the life of the digital artifact?

• The unbearable likeness of your being: Those amazingly lifelike avatars don’t have a clear ownership model today. Someone could make a deepfake of you, and what recourse do you have? However, if you owned the copyright to your digital likeness…

Bing Chat Ads Arrive

• Paying for those GPT-4 inference costs: We knew they were coming, and now we know what they look like, at least one format. Bing Chat has ads that look a lot like what you see in web searches today, with a twist. Generative AI definitely has a revenue model.

Meta Gets Objective

• Alignment is king: Meta rolled out another researcher-only generative AI model. However, this time it showed up with a demonstration app. Segment Anything is a new AI (foundation) model for identifying objects in images and being able to save them separately from the picture with two clicks.

Canva, the True Believer

• Taking the lead over Microsoft: The Redmond giant has talked about DALL-E and GPT-4 in Microsoft Designer and coming to PowerPoint. Canva just started adding new features. A light skepticism from the company in December (ironically about new generative AI features) was replaced by more robust tools and a bigger vision.

More About GAIN

The show is recorded live and streamed via YouTube and LinkedIn at 12 noon ET on Thursdays. You can re-watch each week’s discussion on Voicebot’s YouTube channel. Please join us live next week on YouTube or LinkedIn. Also, participate in the live show by commenting, and we are likely to give you a shoutout and may even show your comment on screen.

For over 22 years, A.R. Bernard has run the largest church in New York City, the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn. Starting as a preacher from his kitchen in Williamsburg, Bernard is now of of New York’s most powerful religious officials, running the center at its 10-acre campus in Brooklyn. Bernard has advised everyone from actor Denzel Washington to Mayor Michael Bloomberg to NBA star Jason Kidd to President Bill Clinton and, for a short time, President Donald Trump.

Bernard joined Errol Louis for a frank discussion about his journey to Christianity, his beginnings as a member of the Nation of Islam, and how his background as a banker helps him to offer financial advice to his congregation. They also talked about his role as one of the more prominent black Republicans in New York City, his plans for a “mini-city” within the Christian Cultural Center’s campus, and why many younger people are turning away from religion.

Join the conversation, weigh in on Twitter using the hashtag #NY1YouDecide or give us a call at 212-379-3440 and leave a message.

Or send an email to YourStoryNY1@charter.com

I am joined by the CMO of Change Foods, Irina Gerry and the Founder of the Vegan Women Summit, Jennifer Stojkovic to discuss the State of the Plant-based Foods and Innovation Industry.

Is the sector dead? Has the media gotten it wrong? Is there positive data to report? Where is the sector headed? Have your own thoughts? Share them with me on Linkedin!
