エピソード
  • AI Governance: Potential Mandatory Government Vetting, Chinese Open Source AI Models, and AI Tools Being Banned
    2026/05/07

    In this episode of AI the Podcast, David and Virginia unpack the growing backlash against AI and what it means for real businesses trying to navigate a rapidly shifting landscape. They explore how new government oversight of AI models could lead to regulatory capture, higher enterprise costs, and deeper vendor lock-in, while also discussing the risks of exposing sensitive business data to outside systems. The conversation then shifts to China’s fast-moving AI ecosystem and the rise of AI-generated entertainment, including micro dramas, as they debate whether AI is opening creative doors or fueling a race to the bottom. Throughout the episode, the core message stays the same: use AI to improve efficiency, but keep your business grounded in human trust, authenticity, and relationships.
