Deskripsi

This week on the show, John and Sanjay unpack the biggest developments shaping AI leadership, governance, regulation, and enterprise adoption. We break down Google's push toward AI agents and why consumer trust could become the biggest barrier to adoption. We look at growing resistance among younger workers toward workplace AI and what leaders are getting wrong about organizational change. We examine why undersea cable infrastructure is becoming critical to the global AI race. And we discuss whether stronger communications strategies can solve AI's growing credibility challenge.
