234 - When AI Becomes Infrastructure: The Battle Over Compute, Governance, And Trust

234 - When AI Becomes Infrastructure: The Battle Over Compute, Governance, And Trust 2026-06-12 From Nvidia's strategic Washington hire to the UAE's ambitious plan to convert half its government operations to agentic AI, this episode examines how artificial intelligence is transforming from a technology into critical infrastructure. We explore Jeff Bezos's stance on AI regulation through his new venture Prometheus, a legal battle over AI transparency in court, and Google's coordinated takedown of a transnational AI-powered scam network. As AI capabilities scale, the questions shift from what's possible to who controls access, how we maintain accountability, and whether our institutions can adapt fast enough.
