Half a Billion Pounds in AI Funding and the Person Steering It Doesn't Even Use AI (AI Weekly News)

Andrew Miles Davis covers one of the busiest weeks in AI news this year, opening with two robotics breakthroughs including a humanoid robot running a half marathon faster than any human on record and a Sony robot beating a professional table tennis player under official match conditions. He breaks down the image generation battle heating up between ChatGPT Images 2.0, MidJourney 8.1, and Claude Design, gives his honest verdict on which is now his go-to tool, and covers ChatGPT's new workspace agents that let AI run scheduled tasks across an entire team. The episode also tackles an AI-generated track hitting number one on the US iTunes chart, Meta tracking employee keystrokes to train its AI models, Rishi Sunak warning about AI cutting entry-level jobs while advising the companies building that AI, and the story that genuinely stopped Andrew in his tracks, the UK cabinet minister responsible for a £500 million AI investment fund admitting she does not use AI at work.
