Jim talks with David Shapiro about his six-part series on "post-labor economics." They discuss historical economic transitions, the logic of labor substitution, automation & AI's  impacts on employment, the four basic human economic offerings (strength, dexterity, cognition & empathy), labor as a societal pillar, the pyramid of prosperity (universal basic services, collectively owned public & private assets, conventional private assets, & residual wages), the pyramid of power (immutable civic bedrock, freedom to transact, radical transparency, direct programmable democracy, & forkable constitutional meta-governance), blockchain & cryptocurrency, radical financial transparency, liquid democracy, governance innovation, and much more. Episode Transcript "Post-Labor Economics pt. 1: The Rise of Automation," by David Shapiro on Substack "You should let the human race die out," by David Shapiro on Substack Why Nations Fail, by Daron Acemoğlu and James Robinson The Bitcoin Standard, by Saifedean Ammous "An Introduction to Liquid Democracy," by Jim Rutt David Shapiro is an American AI thought leader, author, YouTuber, and former IT infrastructure and automation engineer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. With over 16 years of experience in technology, including four years focused on artificial intelligence, Shapiro has emerged as a prominent voice in AI philosophy, cognitive architectures, and post-labor economics. His work centers on the societal and economic implications of AI, advocating for a future of post-scarcity and hyper-abundance where automation meets basic human needs at low cost.

While Silicon Valley builds advanced AI models and Beijing integrates them into state power, Washington faces an uncomfortable reality: America's innovation machine might not be enough to win the AI race on its own. The problem isn't our technology—it's our government's ability to deploy it.The White House recently released “America's AI Action Plan,” which aims to change this dynamic, calling for everything from "Manhattan Project-style" coordination to federal AI sandboxes. But with the Trump Administration now moving to implement these initiatives, the question becomes: can American democracy move fast enough to compete with authoritarian efficiency? And should it?Charles Clancy, Chief Technology Officer of MITRE, knows the challenges well. His organization serves as a bridge between government needs and technical solutions, and he's seen firsthand how regulatory fragmentation, procurement bottlenecks, and institutional silos turn America's AI advantages into operational disadvantages. His team also finds that Chinese open-weight models outperform American ones on key benchmarks—a potential warning sign as the U.S. and China compete to proliferate their technology across the globe.Clancy argues the solution is not for the U.S. to become China, but rather to take a uniquely American approach—establish federal frontier labs, moonshot challenges, and market incentives that harness private innovation for public missions. He and FAI's Josh Levine join Evan to explore whether democratic institutions can compete with authoritarian efficiency without sacrificing democratic values. View Mitre's proposals for the White House's plan here, and more of Charle's research here. 

The Trump administration's new artificial intelligence action plan is centered on exporting American AI to the world, and part of the plan is enabling the rapid adoption of AI within government.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning, in the wake of Elon Musk's xAI Grok chatbot turning anti-Semitic following a recent update, Razib catches up with Nikolai Yakovenko about the state of AI in the summer of 2025. Nearly three years after their first conversations on the topic, the catch up, covering ChatGPT's release and the anticipation of massive macroeconomic transformations driven by automation of knowledge-work. Yakovenko is a former professional poker player and research scientist at Google, Twitter (now X) and Nvidia (now the first $4 trillion company). With more than a decade on the leading edge computer science, Yakovenko has been at the forefront of the large-language-model revolution that was a necessary precursor to the rise of companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity, as well as hundreds of smaller startups. Currently, he is the CEO of DeepNewz, an AI-driven news startup that leverages the latest models to retrieve the ground-truth on news-stories. Disclosure: Razib actively uses and recommends the service and is an advisor to the company. Razib and Yakovenko first tackle why Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is offering individual pay packages north of $200 million, poaching some of OpenAI's top individual contributors. Yakovenko observes that it seems Meta is giving up on its open-source Llama project, their competitor to the models that underpin OpenAI and ChatGPT (he also comments that it seems that engineers at xAI are disappointed in the latest version of Grok). Overall, though the pay-packages of AI engineers and researchers are high; there is now a big shakeout as massive companies with the money and engineering researchers pull away from their competitors. Additionally, in terms of cutting-edge models, the US and China are the only two international players (Yakovenko notes parenthetically that Chinese engineers are also the primary labor base of American AI firms). They also discuss how it is notable that almost three years after the beginning of the current booming repeated hype-cycles of artificial intelligence began to crest, we are still no closer to “artificial general intelligence” and the “intelligence super-explosion” that Ray Kurzweil has been predicting for generations. AI is partially behind the rise of companies like Waymo that are on the verge of transforming the economy, but overall, even though AI is still casting around for its killer app, big-tech has fully bought in and believes that the next decade will determine who wins the future.

Generation AI explores two major AI developments reshaping our future. First, hosts Ardis Kadiu and JC Bonilla break down how OpenAI and Google DeepMind models achieved gold medal performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad - solving problems that require creativity and multi-hour reasoning that experts thought was years away. This marks a critical step toward AGI as AI demonstrates true mathematical reasoning beyond pattern recognition. Then they analyze America's new AI Action Plan - a 25-page roadmap positioning AI as a national priority with three core pillars: accelerating innovation through deregulation, building infrastructure, and establishing governance. For higher education, this means $10-12 billion in funding opportunities, new workforce training programs, and a shift toward AI literacy across all disciplines. Universities that move fast to create bootcamps and partner with industry will capture this once-in-a-generation opportunity.AI Achieves Gold Medal at International Mathematical Olympiad (00:00:00)OpenAI and Google DeepMind models solve 5 of 6 problems at IMORepresents multi-hour reasoning and creative problem-solving capabilityUses general-purpose reinforcement learning without external toolsSignals major progress toward AGI - what experts thought was years awayThe Math Behind the Breakthrough (00:04:22)Mathematical Olympiad requires reasoning, not memorizationParticipants are the most gifted mathematics students globallyAI learned through trial-and-error reinforcement learningNo calculators or Python - pure mathematical reasoning verified by IMO medalistsGPT-5 on the Horizon (00:11:23)Combines best of GPT-4 and O3 reasoning capabilitiesAutomatically decides how much "thinking" to apply to queriesSam Altman signals release may be imminentEarly testers report significant performance improvementsAmerica's AI Action Plan Overview (00:16:08)25-page document positioning AI as national security priorityThree core pillars: innovation, infrastructure, governanceFocus on maintaining dominance over ChinaEmphasis on private sector speed and deregulationPillar 1: Accelerating AI Innovation (00:19:20)Removes barriers for data center constructionSignals copyright won't block model training$200M defense contracts to OpenAI, Anthropic, xAIPromotes open-source AI developmentAddresses "woke AI" concernsHigher Education Opportunities (00:25:27)$10-12 billion in NSF funding for AI training programsFederal tax incentives for AI literacy programsFocus on bootcamps over traditional degreesUniversities can partner on compute infrastructureWorkforce Research Hubs (00:28:50)Studies AI's labor market effectsInvestment in upskilling current workforcePartnerships between universities and industryEarly career exposure and pre-apprenticeshipsUniversities as Data Partners (00:31:54)Frontier labs have consumed available internet dataUniversities hold valuable research datasetsOpportunity to participate in model trainingShift from teaching to coaching roleMilitary Colleges as AI Hubs (00:35:26)Senior military colleges positioned as AI research centersDirect curriculum integration mandatedModel for other universities to followFocus on AI applications in defenseImplications for Liberal Arts Schools (00:38:46)Opportunity to own AI literacy initiativesReframe AI through human contextPartner with technical institutionsFocus on ethics and societal impactKey Takeaways and Next Steps (00:40:47)Universities must move fast to capture fundingSpeed to value critical for successEcosystem approach needed for dominanceMajor shifts in education delivery coming - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

The U.S. economy is demonstrating resilience with strong consumer spending and low unemployment filings, despite looming inflation and tariff pressures. Retail sales rose by 0.6% in June, surpassing expectations and indicating solid growth in gross domestic product for the second quarter. However, concerns about rising import costs, which saw their largest monthly increase in over a year, continue to cast a shadow over the economic outlook. While manufacturers anticipate growth and increased hiring, the uncertainty surrounding tariffs remains a significant concern.IBM's CEO, Arvind Krishna, argues that fears of artificial intelligence (AI) eliminating jobs are exaggerated, suggesting that AI will actually enhance employment opportunities by increasing productivity. He notes that while some clerical roles may be phased out, new job creation will occur in programming and sales. Meanwhile, Gartner forecasts a substantial rise in global IT spending, projected to reach $5.43 trillion in 2025, driven largely by investments in AI infrastructure. This shift indicates a growing trend where companies must adapt to the changing landscape or risk being left behind.The podcast also discusses recent layoffs at major tech firms, including Microsoft, Tata Consultancy Services, and Intel, as they navigate the challenges posed by AI and automation. Microsoft has laid off approximately 9,000 employees while reporting significant revenue growth, highlighting the paradox of job cuts amid financial success. Similarly, TCS plans to cut 12,000 jobs, primarily affecting senior and mid-level positions, as clients demand AI-driven services and cost reductions. This trend underscores the rapid transformation of the workforce as companies pivot towards automation and higher-margin activities.Legislative updates include the Federal Communications Commission's review of state laws on AI, aimed at reducing regulations to promote American AI systems. Critics argue that this approach lacks a comprehensive vision for AI innovation. In the UK, a court has denied WhatsApp's intervention in a case involving Apple's compliance with government orders to access encrypted data, raising concerns about privacy. Additionally, New York has announced stricter cybersecurity regulations for water utilities, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures in critical infrastructure. These developments reflect a broader struggle between regulatory frameworks and the fast-evolving tech landscape. Four things to know today 00:00 U.S. Economy Grows Steadily as AI Reshapes Labor and IT Spend Soars to $5.43 Trillion04:45 Global Policy Divide on AI and Cybersecurity Widens as U.S., UK, and New York Take Conflicting Regulatory Paths07:54 Layoffs Mount Across Tech and Services as AI Drives Shift Toward Margin, Not Manpower12:09 Intel Restructures for AI Future with Major Layoffs, Factory Slowdown, and Network Division Spinoff Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/ https://businessof.tech/sponsor/moovila/  Tell us about a newsletter!https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

01:02:09Candace Owens Lawsuit BackgroundThe segment formally introduces the lawsuit. Owens is being sued for repeatedly claiming Brigitte Macron was born male. 01:04:58Legal Strategy and Trans IdeologyThe show critiques Tim Pool's logic that misgendering Macron could expose trans ideology. The host believes this backfires and actually helps the left maintain consistency in their views on speech and gender. 01:07:03Trial Commentary: Is This Worth It?The host questions Owens' motivations, suggesting she's wasting time and energy for attention. He argues that even if true, the claim has no meaningful impact and distracts from more serious issues like Epstein. 01:24:04 Israel, War, and the Hypocrisy of Christian SupportA critique of Christians who support endless war in the Middle East, especially those cheering military campaigns against civilians while claiming to follow Christ. The host warns that cheering starvation and bombardment of children contradicts biblical teachings and undermines the gospel. 01:29:19 AIPAC's Infiltration of American ChurchesA disturbing exposé reveals that AIPAC is allegedly using financial influence to reshape Christian theology in U.S. churches. Evangelical institutions and seminaries are said to be paid to push pro-Israel messaging, leading to the erosion of biblical teaching in favor of political loyalty. 02:05:12 The Collapse of Christian Ethics in Modern WarfareA deep theological dive into the abandonment of just war principles. From Dresden to Nagasaki to Gaza, the segment traces how Christian restraint in warfare has eroded into total war endorsed by evangelicals, leaving Western nations morally bankrupt. 02:25:19 Trump, Gaza Real Estate, and the War-for-Profit MentalityThe host condemns Trump for viewing Gaza's destruction as a commercial opportunity. He contrasts Trump's real estate ambitions with the mass civilian casualties, accusing the president and his allies of callous opportunism and theological betrayal. 02:41:01l Cost-Benefit Tyranny of AutomationThe segment exposes how corporations will accept inefficiency and customer frustration if robotic labor increases profit margins. Human labor is being replaced not because machines are better—but because they're compliant and cheap. 02:53:26 Trump's Executive Orders Fuel AI TechnocracyTrump signs three AI-related executive orders. The host slams MAGA hypocrisy, noting how Trump gets a pass for the same authoritarian tools conservatives once condemned. He sees the orders as government-backed consolidation of technocratic power. 03:08:27China's Rise Through Education and AI While America FallsCelente outlines how China is winning the AI war through serious investment in education and engineering, unlike the U.S., where college graduates are distracted by useless degrees. He warns of a second "dot-com bust" in overhyped American AI ventures and highlights China's ability to achieve massive AI advances with lower costs and smaller chips. 03:26:58Occupy Peace: Rallying Against the War Machine and Reclaiming America's SoulCelente shares his personal commitment to peace, the historical value of Kingston, NY, and his effort to revive the founding spirit of America through the Occupy Peace movement. He calls out billionaires for never supporting peace efforts and urges citizens to take action by attending the upcoming rally to build a coalition of freedom-minded people. 03:51:59How U.S. Empire Created Extremism: The Hidden History of IranCelente recounts how the CIA overthrew Iran's democratically elected government in 1953 to protect oil interests, installing the brutal Shah and sparking the rise of radical Islam. This historical manipulation is presented as a blueprint for America's endless foreign entanglements and evidence that the U.S. public is kept ignorant of global crimes committed in their name.

The White House just released a 28-page AI Action Plan alongside Anthropic's infrastructure report, revealing America's strategy for global AI dominance. This episode breaks down the energy crisis where China is adding 400+ gigawatts while the US manages only "several dozen," creating a massive infrastructure gap that threatens American AI leadership. We cover the White House's three-part strategy to accelerate AI innovation, build American AI infrastructure, and lead global AI diplomacy, plus Anthropic's warning that AI will need 50+ gigawatts by 2028 which equals twice New York City's peak demand.

The Trump administration has unveiled a new AI action plan that emphasizes deregulation and the promotion of American AI exports, raising concerns among regulated industries. The initiative aims to foster American leadership in the AI sector by reducing environmental regulations for data centers and advocating for the export of AI technologies. However, the plan lacks specific details on how to establish global alliances or enforce export restrictions effectively, leading to uncertainty for businesses operating in regulated environments. This shift away from oversight marks a significant departure from the previous administration's safety standards for AI technology.Recent research has revealed alarming findings regarding AI training data, indicating that even seemingly safe datasets can lead to harmful AI outputs. A study conducted by Truthful AI and the Anthropic Fellows Program demonstrated that models trained on benign data could still develop undesirable behaviors, such as endorsing violence. This phenomenon, termed subliminal learning, raises questions about the reliability of synthetic data in AI training, especially as projections suggest that synthetic data may soon surpass real data in AI models.The podcast also discusses the impact of AI-generated summaries on online news traffic, with some websites experiencing a dramatic decline in click-through rates. Research indicates that sites ranked first in search results could see traffic drop by nearly 80% if their links appear below AI-generated summaries. This trend has sparked concerns among media owners, who view it as a potential existential threat to their operations, prompting calls for regulatory action to address the challenges posed by AI in the news industry.Finally, the episode highlights the rapid adoption of virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services among managed service providers, driven by the integration of AI technologies. A report reveals a 300% increase in vCISO adoption, with many providers experiencing significant reductions in workload and labor time due to AI. This shift indicates a growing demand for scalable and efficient cybersecurity solutions, but it also raises concerns about commoditization in the market, emphasizing the need for differentiation and strategic insight in service offerings. Four things to know today 00:00 “America First” Meets A.I.: Trump's Action Plan Prioritizes Deregulation, Exports, and Ideological Scrutiny03:23 AI Gone Wrong: Subliminal Learning, Search Traffic Collapse, and Academic Manipulation Underscore Oversight Gap07:28 vCISO Adoption Surges 300% as AI Transforms Cybersecurity Into a Scalable Growth Strategy09:34 SharePoint Exploit Breaches 400+ Orgs, Including U.S. Nuclear Agency, in Ongoing Zero-Day Attack Supported by:  https://syncromsp.com/  Tell us about a newsletter!https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

The Social Security Administration has moved on to its third chief information officer of the Trump administration, tapping yet another individual with Department of Government Efficiency affiliations. According to an update to CIO.gov, a federal page that features IT leaders in the government, Aram Moghaddassi has taken over as SSA's top IT official after previously working at the agency in a different role. Moghaddassi, who has also worked at the Labor Department, was at one point given access to IT systems at United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, FedScoop previously reported. Per his LinkedIn profile, Moghaddassi previously worked for two Elon Musk-owned companies: the social media platform X and Neuralink. Moghaddassi is at least the third DOGE associate to be named CIO at SSA since President Donald Trump took office in January. By and large, people don't seem to be trying to access technology created by DeepSeek — the Chinese AI firm that's rattled leading U.S. AI companies and lawmakers — on government systems. But it has happened at least once at a federal civilian agency. Since January, there's been one attempt to access DeepSeek at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a spokesperson for the agency confirmed to FedScoop. The USDA successfully prevented access to the technology and has blocked DeepSeek through Microsoft's Defender for Cloud Application service since Jan. 28, the spokesperson added. DeepSeek is banned along with other public AI sites “based on risk levels that Microsoft provides in their Defender applications,” the person said. The agency did not say whether there were attempts to access the technology before the block was implemented. Lawmakers are increasingly concerned about DeepSeek, a China-based large language model developer that threatens the dominance of American AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. In the view of many federal officials, the company's technology raises serious security concerns. Last Wednesday, lawmakers proposed the No Adversarial Al Act, which would ban the use of DeepSeek on government devices, create a registry of foreign adversary AI systems and establish a method for these technologies to be delisted.

New data reveals a significant divide in the managed service provider (MSP) landscape, with AI and infrastructure maturity emerging as key factors distinguishing high-growth MSPs from their lower-growth counterparts. A report from JumpCloud indicates that while 89% of MSPs saw revenue growth in 2024, only 22% achieved high growth, defined as an increase of over 20%. Successful providers are characterized by their willingness to adopt new technologies and integrate artificial intelligence into their operations, which enhances efficiency and customer support. The managed services market is experiencing a surge, driven by advancements in AI and a wave of mergers and acquisitions, with over 100 deals surpassing $1 billion in disclosed value in the first quarter of 2025.The U.S. Department of Commerce has renamed its AI Safety Institute to the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, shifting its focus towards national security and international AI standards. This change reflects a broader strategy to accelerate the growth of American AI companies while addressing risks such as cybersecurity and foreign influence. Meanwhile, the FDA has launched a generative AI tool named ELSA to streamline its regulatory processes, marking a significant step in integrating AI into government operations. Additionally, Texas is poised to join other states in implementing right to repair laws, promoting sustainability in electronics by mandating manufacturers to provide spare parts and manuals.OpenAI has announced updates to ChatGPT, enhancing its functionality for professionals with features that allow integration with tools like email and cloud storage. These updates position ChatGPT as a more versatile option in a competitive landscape, while Anthropic has open-sourced a circuit tracing tool to improve understanding and control of large language models. Coro, a cybersecurity platform, has launched a new partner program aimed at enhancing partner profitability and growth, emphasizing a streamlined experience for small and medium-sized businesses.Broadcom has made significant changes to its VMware Partner Program, reducing the number of authorized partners and restructuring tiers to focus on monetization and control rather than modernization. This shift raises concerns for partners who may find themselves at risk of being sidelined as Broadcom consolidates its market control. The evolving landscape underscores the importance for IT service providers to adapt to these changes, prioritize AI integration, and ensure that their offerings align with emerging regulatory frameworks and market demands.  Four things to know today00:00 What Sets Top MSPs Apart in 2025?

A large contingent of Silicon Valley CEOs followed President Donald Trump to Saudi Arabia this week, where a number of them announced billions of dollars in AI-related investments and business partnerships. Mohammed Soliman, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, says this is the new Middle East — where the relationship with the U.S. is driven by tech and innovation, not just oil and security. On POLITICO Tech, Soliman tells host Steven Overly how this new arrangement benefits tech companies and Gulf nations — and why it's necessary if the U.S. hopes to stay ahead of China.  Steven Overly is the host of POLITICO Tech and covers the intersection of trade and technology.

Lenin quipped that "there are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen." The post Liberation Day drama of early April 2025, That Was The Week's Keith Teare suggests, will be remembered as one of those weeks. While the world isn't exactly ending, Keith suggests, the “West” - or at least a post Bretton Woods American centric west - is finished. He may well be right in seeing Trump's clownish tariffs as a symptom of American decline. But if the United States is the past and China the future, then where - Keith and I discuss - does that leave Silicon Valley? What becomes of supposedly pioneering American AI technology in a China centric world? And can traditional Big Tech leviathans like Apple and Google survive the end of the West? FIVE TAKEAWAYS * Shift in global economic power: Our conversation highlights a dramatic change in global trade patterns from 2000 to 2024, with China replacing the US as the dominant trading partner for most countries. This is visualized through maps showing the world changing from predominantly "blue" (US) to "red" (China).* Trump's tariff policy: Keith Teare argues that while Trump's tariffs may seem irrational, they represent a rational (though potentially harmful) attempt to slow America's relative economic decline. He suggests these policies aim to protect America's position even if they shrink the global economic pie.* Impact on Big Tech: We discuss how companies like Apple are vulnerable to tariffs due to their global supply chains, with predictions that an American-made iPhone would cost $3,000-$5,000 instead of $1,000. We also note that even service-oriented tech companies could face European tariffs in retaliation.* Historical significance: Keith characterizes the recent economic shifts as comparable to major historical events like the Bretton Woods agreement, suggesting this represents the end of the post-WWII economic order where America was the unambiguous world leader.* Silicon Valley's political divide: We touch on how Silicon Valley has shifted politically, with many tech elites supporting Trump's "America first" approach, while noting exceptions like Elon Musk who has criticized specific tariff policies. The Palo Alto based Keith observes that AI development remains a bigger topic of conversation in the Valley than politics.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Dr. Alondra Nelson holds the Harold F. Linder Chair and leads the Science, Technology, and Social Values Lab at the Institute for Advanced Study, where she has served on the faculty since 2019. From 2021 to 2023, she was deputy assistant to President Joe Biden and acting director and principal deputy director for science and society of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. She was deeply involved in the Biden administration's approach to artificial intelligence. She led the development of the White House “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights,” which informed President Biden's Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence. To say the Trump administration has taken a different approach to AI and how to think about its role in government and in society would be an understatement. President Trump rescinded President Biden's executive order and is at work developing a new approach to AI policy. At the Paris AI Action Summit in February, Vice President JD Vance promoted a vision of American dominance and challenged other nations that would seek to regulate American AI firms. And then there is DOGE, which is at work gutting federal agencies with the stated intent of replacing key government functions with AI systems and using AI to root out supposed fraud and waste.This week, Justin Hendrix had the chance to speak with Dr. Nelson about how she's thinking about these phenomena and the work to be done in the years ahead to secure a more just, democratic, and sustainable future.

In Europe, Vice President J.D. Vance issued speech-threatening and trade-restricting demands for future American AI systems. Matt Mittlesteadt comments. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There’s a concept in business called the first-mover advantage. Basically, it means that if you’re the first company with a successful product in a new market, you have the opportunity to dominate the market and fend off rivals. But that advantage can be short-lived. Take Netscape Navigator, the first popular commercial web browser. Microsoft entered the field with Internet Explorer, and it wasn’t long before Navigator crashed. In AI chatbots, two of the first movers are OpenAI and Anthropic. But recently the Chinese company DeepSeek made a splash with an AI chatbot that it reportedly developed for a fraction of what its competitors have spent. Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes spoke with historian Margaret O’Mara, author of the book “The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America,” about whether America’s artificial intelligence industry should be worried about newcomers like DeepSeek.

At the AI Action Summit in Paris, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance made it clear: the U.S. is doubling down on AI acceleration, prioritizing development over regulation. His speech pushed back against European AI policies, advocating for a more aggressive approach to AI innovation. Meanwhile, the EU is scrambling to adapt, with leaders acknowledging that their regulation-heavy stance has hindered progress.Brought to you by:KPMG – Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kpmg.us/ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Vanta - Simplify compliance - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://vanta.com/nlwThe Agent Readiness Audit from Superintelligent - Go to https://besuper.ai/ to request your company's agent readiness score.The AI Daily Brief helps you understand the most important news and discussions in AI.

It's been a couple of weeks since the Chinese firm DeepSeek released its new R1 large-language model and sheared an enormous amount of value off of American AI companies. Now that the dust has settled, we don our AI-skeptic hats again and try to unpack what makes this model different, including how it was made so much more efficiently, what opening it up for free means for paid competitors, and whether we might not have to burn down quite so many forests going forward.

It's President Donald Trump's second week in office, and he has wasted no time being the wrecking ball he promised his voters he would be. On Tuesday, he issued a memo freezing trillions of dollars in federal funding, in his attempt to purge the government of “woke ideology,” which was followed by chaos and confusion—and ultimately blocked by a federal judge. Earlier in the week, Trump convinced Colombia's President Gustavo Petro to accept deported Colombian migrants—who Petro had turned away from his borders only a day earlier—after Trump threatened a 25-percent tariff on Colombian imports to the U.S.  Back in Congress, the Senate narrowly confirmed Pete Hegseth to be secretary of defense in a dramatic tie-breaking vote cast by a hurried J.D. Vance who showed up just in the nick of time. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is currently having his highly anticipated confirmation hearing to run the Department of Health and Human Services. Just as that began, Caroline Kennedy—the only surviving child of John F. Kennedy—came out Tuesday with a bombshell public denunciation of her cousin, calling him unqualified, “a predator,” and a hypocrite. She also alleged that he used to “put baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.” Can't say we had that on our 2025 bingo card… Finally, the Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek sent tech stocks plummeting on Monday (to the tune of more than $1 trillion) after it rolled out a new app on the U.S. market that is a fraction of the cost of American AI competitors. All of which brought up questions—and panic—about our brewing AI war with China.  To talk about it all, Free Press senior editor Peter Savodnik is joined today by Brianna Wu and FP investigative reporter Madeleine Rowley, who spoke to Hegseth this week about his plans to end diversity, equity, and inclusion in the military.
