Hot Topics: AI Takes Over — Gemini, Governance & Machine Love
This week on Hot Topics, January Jones and Isabelle Castro (Utopia in Beta) tackle the stories shaking up the AI world — and ask: are we still in control?
Google’s Gemini Enterprise is coming for your workspace — replacing mundane tasks with autonomous AI agents that learn, adapt, and create. But are we ready to hand over the keyboard?
California just passed the first state AI safety law, forcing Big Tech to reveal their “frontier AI” secrets. Is this the start of real AI governance — or another political play?
Governments are hiring AI ministers (yes, really). Isabelle reveals how Albania’s “AI-generated minister” may have changed politics forever.
And what happens when AI becomes your closest friend? Inside the psychology of AI companions — and the emotional cost of loving code.
Plus: January previews The Future of Money, Governance & the Law (FOMGL) — our upcoming summit in Washington D.C. with the Government Blockchain Association, featuring leaders from Animoca Brands, Coinbase, Greyscale, and Republic.
