AI Last Week: Let's Catch Up Together!

AI Last Week: Let's Catch Up Together!

Last week, I helped to roll out the ASAP AI Skills Passport for the state of Wisconsin. Needless to say, it was a lot of travel and I needed some catching up on all things AI. So I figured, we'd catch up together! - Emily Host Emily Laird breaks down the week AI stopped acting like a science project and started behaving like a corporate takeover. From OpenAI and Anthropic chasing private equity pipelines to Meta’s agent mishap and Washington’s latest AI power struggle, this episode is all distribution, politics, and paranoia. The big twist: people are not just worried about losing jobs, they are losing patience with tools that sound smart and still make things up. It is a sharp, funny look at why the real AI battle is no longer who builds the coolest model, but who can make it useful, trusted, and hard to ignore.
