On today’s episode of AI Beat, we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping global power, the workforce, and our trust in technology. From the U.S. scrutinizing Chinese AI for ideological bias, to California’s push for tougher AI safety laws, to Microsoft’s $500 million savings and $4 billion investment in AI education, we break down the economic and ethical impacts of this rapidly advancing technology. Plus, we dig into new research on AI’s role in healthcare, advertising, and cybersecurity, and ask: how do we build AI systems we can truly trust?

Developments in AI and Generative AI on July 6-7, 2025, revealed significant industry initiatives, ongoing regulatory challenges, mixed economic impacts, and growing ethical concerns.
Major companies showed aggressive AI investment and deployment: Amazon launched its DeepFleet system for robot coordination, a prominent tech firm projected AI server revenue to rival its iPhone sales, and Alibaba invested $53 billion.
Regulatory discussions included Europe delaying AI guidelines, publishers challenging Google over AI summaries, the U.S. Senate revising an AI regulation ban, BRICS leaders advocating for data protection against unauthorized AI, and China exploring AI's inclusion in trade agreements.
Economically, AI spurred a record number of tech unicorns but also contributed to record-high unemployment among college graduates, with Amazon's CEO expecting fewer employees due to GenAI.
Ethical concerns centered on generative AI's role in misinformation and "hallucinations" in sectors like auto retail, alongside debates on universities' adaptation to AI and its emerging use cases in public relations.
