What does the Turing Test have to do with the future of your business? In this episode, Paul explores AI not as hype or threat, but as the latest step in a long line of human invention — from the steam engine to the microchip. He breaks down how AI is set to dramatically cut the cost and timeline of software development, what that means for small business owners, and why the coming era may be one of genuine invention rather than just innovation. He also touches on why we should be careful not to anthropomorphise our AI tools.Connect with PaulWebsite: https://www.secondnature.solutions/Subscribe to the newsletter: https://www.secondnature.solutions/joinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-spencer-7252118/Chapters(00:01) Fun, Fresh, and Exciting Conversations(01:20) Introducing the Turing Test and AI’s Vision(03:57) Human Intelligence Versus Artificial Intelligence(05:54) Human Perception and Emotional Attachment to AI(13:18) The Age of the Microchip and Evolution of Work(17:26) AI’s Impact on Software Development Costs and Skills(25:12) From Data Innovation to Data-Driven Invention(31:20) A Golden Age of Marvelous Works(33:06) AI as a Powerful Tool and Turing Test Reflections

In this episode of "In the Interim…", Dr. Scott Berry and Dr. Kert Viele examine Bayesian borrowing in Phase 3 clinical trials, focusing on statistical handling of prior information and real-world FDA interactions. The episode opens with an analogy, comparing prior probability in Bayesian analysis to interpreting a home pregnancy test, succinctly demonstrating the effect of prior knowledge on trial interpretation. The discussion addresses technical challenges—how borrowing inflates Type I errors and why this is addressed differently under Bayesian operating characteristics. Concrete examples include dynamic versus static borrowing approaches, and formal integration of prior evidence in regulatory submissions. Case studies center on the WATCHMAN device (PROTECT AF and PREVAIL trials) and REBYOTA, illustrating FDA engagement, relevant trial design tactics, and published outcomes. The episode also critiques common pitfalls such as selective data use and improper prior construction, emphasizing the FDA’s focus on comprehensive and unbiased historical sources.Key HighlightsPregnancy test analogy used to clarify prior probability in trial interpretation.Bayesian borrowing’s effects on Type I error and statistical thresholds.Case studies: WATCHMAN device (PROTECT AF, PREVAIL) and REBYOTA approvals.Dynamic borrowing versus static borrowing strategies in regulatory settings.Risks of cherry-picking and importance of unbiased, relevant prior data.FDA guidance and review procedures for Bayesian trials.For more, visit us at https://www.berryconsultants.com/
