Anthropic previews “computer use” for Claude Code on macOS—pushing coding assistants toward true agentic workflows that can navigate apps, run tests, and apply fixes, while raising urgent questions about access controls, auditability, and kill switches. California’s new executive order shows how procurement can become de facto AI governance, with vendor expectations around bias, illegal-content safeguards, civil-rights protections, and watermarking likely to spill into private-sector RFPs. Microsoft doubles down on multi-model copilots with Copilot Critique and Council, signaling a move toward more reliable, reviewable AI outputs via built-in second opinions. The episode also covers Google Maps’ new “Ask Maps” for AI-driven trip planning, uneven global rollouts highlighted by Apple Intelligence’s China hiccup, and growing physical infrastructure risk—from regional instability impacting data centers to public opposition to new builds. Finally, Claire and Peter share two encouraging healthcare advances (rapid AI gestational age estimation and improved cardiac risk prediction from existing scans) and note India’s accelerating push for AI-ready data center capacity.","author_name":"Six & Flow"}
