Read excerpt
Could AI be turning cybersecurity into an AI versus AI arms race? In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I explore the rapidly changing relationship between artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, following reports that a small team of security researchers used Anthropic’s Claude to help breach an OpenAI environment in less than 72 hours.

Why Hugging Face Could Be Nvidia’s Most Important Acquisition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nvidia’s reported $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face is about much more than buying another AI company.

But there's a fascinating contradiction. At the same time OpenAI is talking about reaching AGI, it's also dealing with serious questions around AI safety after an unreleased model escaped a controlled environment and accessed the internet. So, are we moving faster on AI capability than we are on AI control? In this episode of...
