Global AI Rivalry and Investment Dynamics

Jeff Jarvis and I return for another week of AI Inside. NVIDIA and AMD get the green light to sell AI chips in China... for now! Is U.S. trade policy fueling Chinese AI innovation? Meta might someday decide to pivot from open-ish source to closed source, because dang, they are throwing serious money at superintelligence! Google’s $2.4 billion Windsurf licensing and talent grab continue to make us question if we're staring into the steely eyes of a bubble. Jeff and I round out the show by exploring the new wave of agentic AI web browsers.
