  • The Father of AI Was a Black Scientist 🤯
    Jan 27 2026

    Artificial Intelligence didn’t start in Silicon Valley—and it didn’t start recently. Long before today’s AI boom, a Black scientist laid critical groundwork that modern AI systems still rely on. In this video, we uncover the overlooked history behind AI and why the title “Father of AI” deserves a deeper, more honest conversation.

    We break down the legacy of David Blackwell, a pioneering mathematician and statistician whose work in probability theory, game theory, and decision-making under uncertainty directly influences how machines learn, optimize, and make decisions today. From Markov decision processes to statistical inference, Blackwell’s contributions shaped the mathematical foundation of artificial intelligence—yet his name is rarely mentioned. This is the history many were never taught.

  • Is OpenAI in Trouble? Lawsuits, Leadership & the AI Arms Race
    Jan 23 2026

    In this clip from Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the dramatic developments surrounding OpenAI. They tackle the recent lawsuit against the company, growing questions about leadership, and the fierce competition from major players like Google’s Gemini, Anthropic, and Meta. Rashad Bilal highlights the risks developers face with proprietary information uploaded to OpenAI, pointing out unsettling claims that some product outputs mirror confidential data. He discusses how Elon Musk's ongoing legal battle with OpenAI underscores wider issues, including shifting sentiment towards CEO Sam Altman and Microsoft’s strategic maneuvers—like moving Azure clients to other large language models. Ian Dunlap digs into OpenAI’s financial challenges. Even with an impressive $20 billion in revenue, their high spending has kept them unprofitable, prompting the unexpected introduction of ads on ChatGPT. Ian explains how competitors, like Google’s Gemini, are leveraging OpenAI’s struggles to strengthen their own platforms by pledging never to run ads. The conversation uncovers how OpenAI’s support network—from Microsoft, Oracle, and Nvidia to SoftBank and Broadcom—remains strong, but not unshakeable. Both Rashad and Ian emphasize that erratic leadership and mounting negative press could erode investor confidence and accelerate an exodus to rival platforms, especially as Anthropic nears a public offering and gains customers like Microsoft. The hosts also touch on concerning rumors emanating from San Francisco about the origins of OpenAI and the transition from nonprofit to for-profit status. They suggest leaders need composure and credibility to succeed at the helm of a company driving the future of artificial intelligence. Join Market Mondays as Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap break down the high-stakes battle for AI supremacy, exploring OpenAI’s opportunities and challenges—and what this means for the future of tech. *Don’t forget to like & subscribe for more insights on business, investing, and tech!* #OpenAI #MarketMondays #ArtificialIntelligence #TechNews #SamAltman #Microsoft #Anthropic #Gemini #ElonMusk #Nvidia #IanDunlap #RashadBilal #AIWars #BusinessInsights
