AI Reality Check: Hiring Freezes, Smarter Scams, and the Illusion of Empathy

In today’s episode of A-I in Flow, we unpack Meta’s sudden hiring freeze after a spree of AI talent acquisitions and what it means for the superintelligence race. We also cover Google’s AI-packed Pixel 10 lineup, the alarming rise of AI-powered phishing scams, and what businesses need to do now to stay secure. Plus: the massive power demands behind Meta’s $10B data centre, Mustafa Suleyman’s warning about ‘conscious AI,’ and the risks of AI in mental health apps following a tragic real-world story. From tech launches to ethical landmines—this episode hits both the headlines and the hard questions.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
