  • Everyone Has the Same AI. Here's What Actually Gives You an Edge

    Everyone Has the Same AI. Here's What Actually Gives You an Edge
    14 Oct 2026
    Every company has access to roughly the same AI. So why do some get real value while others just get faster at the wrong things? Beyond the Byte is back. In this relaunch episode, Mo Hafez makes the case that technology is the easy part and capability is the moat. Through Formula One, chess engines and a few too many meetings about meetings, he unpacks why access to AI is becoming a commodity, why judgment is becoming the scarce skill, and what leaders, teams and individuals should be building instead of buying.

  • The Whisperverse Is Here: Dr. Louis Rosenberg on AI Agents, AR Glasses, and the Voice in Your Head

    The Whisperverse Is Here: Dr. Louis Rosenberg on AI Agents, AR Glasses, and the Voice in Your Head
    7 Feb 2026
    A voice in your head that sees what you see, hears what you hear, and guides your decisions isn't science fiction, it's the technology arriving in 2026. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Louis Rosenberg, pioneering computer scientist and author of "Our Next Reality," about why augmented reality and AI-powered conversational computing are about to fundamentally transform how we live, work, and make decisions. We explore why immersive tech has struggled for 35 years and why AR glasses will finally break through, how swarm intelligence can create collective superintelligence that outperforms every individual in the group, and why AI denialism is dangerous when Meta and Google are already building AI systems designed to whisper in your ear all day long. Dr. Rosenberg reveals why the shift from flat screens to spatial computing is inevitable, how his work at NASA in 1991 shaped today's mixed reality revolution, and why targeted AI influence is far more dangerous than social media manipulation ever was. If you're building with AI, leading teams through digital transformation, or concerned about privacy and cognitive liberty in an AI-saturated world, this conversation will reshape how you think about the next decade of computing.

His research has been featured in Nature, Harvard Business Review, and numerous peer-reviewed publications.

  • The Corporate Capture of AI: Why Regulation Is Failing with Robert Weissman

    The Corporate Capture of AI: Why Regulation Is Failing with Robert Weissman
    24 Jan 2026
    Corporate interests are rewriting the rules of AI before the public even gets a seat at the table. In this episode, I sit down with Robert Weissman, Co-President of Public Citizen, to expose how Big Tech has systematically captured the regulatory process and turned AI governance into a profit protection scheme. We dive into why voluntary commitments from tech giants are meaningless theater, how concentrated corporate power threatens innovation and competition, and why the revolving door between Silicon Valley and Washington has created a regulatory vacuum that serves shareholders over society. Robert breaks down the surveillance business model that funds AI development, the national security implications of unchecked corporate control, and why antitrust enforcement is the missing piece in responsible AI deployment. If you're building with AI, investing in tech, or simply concerned about who controls the most powerful technology of our generation, this conversation will fundamentally change how you view the AI landscape. Tune in NOW: Corporate Power vs. Public Interest: Robert Weissman on How Big Tech Hijacked AI Regulation Download the FREE CLEAR Framework: ByteWise's Ethical Guide to AI Strategy 👉 https://biz.bytewise-llc.com/clear-framework Robert Weissman is Co-President of Public Citizen, a nonprofit organization with over 500,000 members dedicated to defending democracy, resisting corporate power, and ensuring government works for the people. With decades of experience in corporate accountability, antitrust policy, and regulatory reform, Robert has been at the forefront of battles against corporate monopolies, from Big Pharma to Big Tech. He's a leading voice on AI regulation, data privacy, and the intersection of technology and democracy. Robert's work exposes how corporate lobbying undermines public interest and advocates for policies that distribute power and innovation benefits equitably.
