Good morning from OWITH.ai: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in AI and tech world. AI adoption in Asia is progressing quickly, with challenges related to AI agents and the concept of "sovereign AI." Despite the desire for AI agents, their high risk and unreliability have led to limited usage. However, adoption is expected to increase significantly by 2028 as costs decrease and models improve. The impact of AI on the job market remains uncertain, with some evidence of increased coding requirements but no major changes in job availability. Soft skills are becoming more important as AI transforms all industries. Access to AI infrastructure is crucial, with many Asian governments aiming for sovereign AI but facing obstacles such as high costs and language/cultural considerations. China has an advantage in embodied AI, while Singapore seeks to bridge the gap between US and Chinese AI development. Recent news includes calls for international cooperation on AI governance and the lifting of US restrictions on technology exports to China.The text also discusses how Southeast Asia's venture investors are excited about AI but less enthusiastic about investing in the region.

Good morning from OWITH.ai: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in AI and tech world.President Trump has ushered in a new era of AI governance that is deregulated, pro-growth, and ethics-optional, favoring Silicon Valley's elite. The accelerationist ideology promoted by figures like David Sacks, senior White House AI policy advisor Sriram Krishnan, and Office of Science and Technology Policy director Michael Kratsios prioritizes speed and scale in AI development, advocating for minimal regulation. This approach has sidelined the diverse coalition of individuals who focused on AI ethics and safety during the Biden administration.

This liquidity aspect attracted Forerunner Ventures to invest in the company.Courtyard has experienced rapid growth, with sales increasing significantly in a short period of time.Shifting gears to other tech-related news, Elon Musk's plan for robotaxis and his control over Tesla are discussed along with David Sacks' involvement in America's AI policy, Google's increased capex for cloud infrastructure, and the launch of Fortune AIQ series.
