In today’s episode, Ahmed Banafa, artificial intelligence (AI) expert, author, and professor of engineering, returns to discuss the explosive AI landscape—from trillion-dollar investments in ‘Circular AI’ by OpenAI, Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom to the fierce war for talent reshaping Big Tech.
“AI is a train that left the station—now it’s about guiding the rails,” he says, exploring how OpenAI is challenging Google’s search dominance and the dark side of AI hallucinations that is leading to real-world harm.
From California’s SB 53 regulation efforts to the future of physical AI and ethical concerns, Banafa shares his insights on augmentation over automation, and why we must verify AI outputs.
