This week on Think AI, we unpack the industry’s split-screen moment—massive infrastructure bets (OpenAI–NVIDIA’s $100B LOI, xAI’s ultra-cheap gov deal) versus rising calls for guardrails and “AI red lines.” We also cover enterprise rollouts (Microsoft + Anthropic, OpenAI shared projects), new consumer tools (Gemini on TV, conversational photo edits), and the growing data dilemma—from Spotify’s AI-spam purge to apps paying for your calls.

This week on Think AI: The AI Industry Podcast, we unpack the explosive rise of autonomous AI agents. From DeepMind’s Gemini outperforming humans at the world’s top coding competition, to OpenAI’s Codex and Notion Agent reshaping digital workflows, autonomy is here. We explore Meta’s neural band and smart glasses, OpenAI’s hardware ambitions, and the NVIDIA–Intel chip alliance powering the next era. Plus: an AI-generated artist lands a multimillion-dollar record deal, new tools disrupt video and music creation, Fiverr pivots AI-first with layoffs, and urgent research uncovers “scheming” in advanced models. We close with breakthroughs in AI medicine—predicting disease years ahead and detecting hidden consciousness in patients.

This week on Think AI, Sam and Rebecca cover AI’s real-world rollout—robots stocking shelves at 7-Eleven Japan, Zoox’s driverless robotaxis on the Vegas Strip, and Apple’s quietly embedded “Apple Intelligence.” We unpack California’s pending AI safety bills (SB 243, SB 53), open-model advances and agentic tools (ChatGPT MCP, Claude for teams), cheaper pro-grade media generation (Veo-3, Stable Audio 2.5), big infrastructure moves (Microsoft–GSA Copilot, OpenAI’s Oracle “Stargate”), and the open-web/content-licensing fight (RSL)—plus new research on making LLM outputs reproducible.
