About this episode

The episode discusses AI and Data Science trends from 2025 and expectations for 2026, alongside a debate on smartphone impacts on behavior.

What were the big trends in AI and Data Science in 2025 and what trends they expect to see in 2026. Andrew Jones-Rooy is here to explain. And we discuss Derek Thompson’s “Is the Smartphone Theory of Everything Wrong?” post on his Substack page where he lays out the difficulty in analyzing smartphone impacts on behavior. Is there truth in Derek’s analysis or is all confirmation bias? Plus we debate the weightiest topics of our time in our Balance Game of the Week!
