AI is no longer just a technology story—it's a political, economic, and geopolitical story. In today's Flash Cast, John and Sanjay unpack three major developments shaping the future of AI governance and leadership: • Why OpenAI and Anthropic-linked groups are spending heavily ahead of the U.S. midterm elections • Why France's AI startup Mistral is warning Europe about dependence on American AI infrastructure • How opposition to AI data centers is becoming entangled with national security concerns and foreign influence claims As AI becomes critical infrastructure, the battle over who builds it, regulates it, and controls it is accelerating.
