They look at a lawsuit alleging Meta used AI-assisted scoring in layoff decisions and what it could mean for HR governance and protected groups. They cover New York’s one-year pause on large data-centre permits as energy, water, and grid constraints turn compute into an infrastructure strategy, plus a new White House coordination effort for responsibly disclosing AI-discovered software vulnerabilities. The episode also explores Demis Hassabis’ proposal for a FINRA-style frontier model standards body, Nvidia’s tighter chip supply controls to limit diversion to China, new evidence that image generators can still be jailbroken with low-effort prompts, and how AI is reshaping enterprise spending decisions. Finally, they touch on Australia’s upcoming AI and data-centre regulations and DeepSeek’s reported funding talks at a major valuation—signs that competition and compliance pressures are accelerating worldwide.","author_name":"Six & Flow"}
