Today’s episode explains Nigeria’s landmark bill elevating NITDA as a digital super‑regulator, the strategic implications of Intel’s AI chief joining OpenAI, Microsoft’s “Whisper Leak” side‑channel risk to AI chat privacy, and why the AI boom resembles the dotcom era with crucial differences. We cover the rise of private AI accelerators in India, surging AI healthcare investment, pragmatic LLM evaluation methods, a theory paper on echo‑state networks’ memory bias, Sam Altman’s take on AI poetry versus human provenance, and transparency concerns in Europol’s partnerships with US surveillance tech. Three takeaways: clarify governance, focus on unit economics, and build for trust.
