This week on the Podcaster’s Corner:

Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have become a focal point for expenditures in business technologies, policy discussions in Washington D.C., and the worldwide competition for technological dominance.

We dissect a major U.S. Senate hearing centered around AI and competition between the U.S. and China, where key testimonies were provided by Microsoft’s Brad Smith and OpenAI’s Sam Altman. The event took an unexpected turn when Senator Maria Cantwell experienced a microphone malfunction during Senator Ted Cruz’s introductory remarks in Seattle-style fashion.
