AI’s rapid expansion is creating problems across the industry, from chip shortages to autonomous agents that exceed their instructions. On the latest episode of This Week in AI, we examined those challenges alongside growing regulatory scrutiny and an emerging debate about whether AI systems themselves might deserve protection. Chip production can’t match AI demand AI […]

New AI tools are making business data easier to explore. They’re also giving researchers new ways to study disease outbreaks and physical systems. On the latest episode of This Week in AI, we examined developments from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral, new research on the economics of robotics, and how scientists are using AI to tackle […]

AI systems are gaining more autonomy while governments, companies, and researchers are still working out how much oversight they need. On the latest episode of This Week in AI, we covered the US debate over AI governance, new frontier models, persistent agents, world models, and practical uses for AI in healthcare and disaster response. AI […]

On the latest episode of This Week in AI, host Vicki Reyzelman, a senior solutions engineer at Akamai, traced a common problem across cybersecurity, energy, model releases, consumer hardware, and regulation. AI agents can now probe networks, coordinate with other agents, make purchases, and interact with real-world systems faster than many organizations can respond. We’re […]

AI systems are gaining access to more tools and data, raising new questions about oversight and accountability. This Week in AI host Christina Stathopoulos spent this episode examining how those questions are playing out in model safety, government oversight, and even digital marketing. Safety needs more than safer models Anthropic’s latest threat report documented misuse […]

OpenAI expanded into software control, scientific reasoning, and financial services this week, and investors committed billions more to AI companies across the stack, while AI researchers went public with warnings. This Week in AI host Christina Stathopoulos looked at what those developments mean for an industry already wrestling with questions about safety and control. Models […]

Host Christina Stathopoulos, founder of Dare to Data and a former data scientist at Google and Waze, returned to This Week in AI with developments that stretched from Claude testing ways to improve model safety to Chinese open weight models gaining developer traffic and new systems learning to model physics. She also examined what Anthropic […]

In the latest episode of This Week in AI, host Vicki Reyzelman, a solutions engineer with Akamai, said the systems keeping AI secure, powered, and physically functional are getting stress-tested faster than anyone expected. She moved through cybersecurity and governance, the power strain behind rising compute demand, and humanoid robots that are now doing real […]

AI agents keep getting smarter, but the bigger story this week is how much they’re reshaping the systems around them. Host Eric Freeman, an O’Reilly author and UT Austin professor, pulled one thread through a packed news week. Models are optimizing less for chat and more for autonomous work, with fallout showing up in web […]

AI agents are multiplying, and many of the systems used to manage them weren’t designed for their scale or speed. This week, host Vicki Reyzelman, a senior solutions engineer at Akamai, used one figure to connect developments in cybersecurity, infrastructure, education, and AI governance: For every human on the internet, there are 144 agents. That […]

Governments are tightening control over AI infrastructure as companies spend heavily to compete at the frontier. This week, data and AI evangelist Christina Stathopoulos examined how policy, capital, product risk, and scientific research are shaping AI development. She explored AI sovereignty, Google’s infrastructure spending and product risks, the singularity debate, and several developments in mathematical […]

This week, data and AI evangelist Christina Stathopoulos looked at three developments shaping AI’s next phase: agents that can act across systems, infrastructure built for specific models, and world models that help AI understand physical environments. Model quality is no longer the only constraint for teams. They also need to account for security controls, compute […]

AI buyers have more choices than they did a year ago, but they also carry more responsibility for cost, reliability, security, and regulatory risk. This week, data and AI evangelist Christina Stathopoulos focused in on four forces we’ve been tracking that are shaping the AI market: product strategy (and OpenAI’s hardware plans), expanding government oversight, […]

Christina Stathopoulos, the data and AI evangelist behind Dare to Data, continued her run sorting the week’s most impactful stories into a handful of themes we’ve been watching play out over the past month: more firms investing in the compute AI runs on, more concerns about who controls a model’s borders, and more AI-generated code […]
