In this episode, we explore Google’s latest AI announcements ahead of the I/O 2025 conference, including breakthroughs in Gemini AI, healthcare innovations with AMIE, and the launch of the AI Futures Fund. From transforming Google Search with generative AI to AMIE outperforming human doctors in simulated diagnostics, Google is rapidly expanding its AI ecosystem. We also highlight the success of Gemma’s open-source models and how startups like Toonsutra are leveraging Google’s support to drive culturally relevant AI applications. These developments underscore Google’s growing influence in shaping the future of AI across sectors like search, cloud, health, and content creation.

In this episode, we discuss the major implications of the dramatic US-China tariff reductions on the artificial intelligence industry. With import duties on critical components like GPUs and semiconductors slashed—from 145% to 30% on Chinese goods and from 125% to just 10% on American exports—companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Alibaba are seeing immediate benefits. We explore how these lower tariffs are reducing hardware costs, stabilizing supply chains, boosting investor confidence, and reshaping global AI competitiveness. We also examine how lingering export controls and the short-term nature of this tariff truce may temper long-term strategies for firms across both nations.
