This week's podcast covers AI's rapid move into real-world products, starting with Google Maps integrating Gemini for "human-like" landmark navigation. The discussion then highlights AI's humanitarian use in instantly screening for Tuberculosis (TB) and its commercial efficiency with Amazon's new Kindle Translate service for authors. Shifting to professional tools, Google Finance is getting a "Deep Search" AI upgrade, and Microsoft AI has introduced its philosophy of "Humanist Superintelligence" (HSI) to guide development. The hosts also cover the stark warning to the accounting profession: adopt AI or be replaced. The conversation then turns to market conflicts, with Amazon suing Perplexity AI over its "agentic" shopping tool. On Wall Street, Michael Burry has bet $1 billion that the AI boom is a bubble. Geopolitics also flared up, as Nvidia's CEO surprisingly claimed China is "going to win" the AI race. Finally, OpenAI's Sam Altman is calling on governments to build their own AI infrastructure, warning that a "compute" shortage is slowing the entire sector. Hosted on Acast.
