Weekly AI News - Jul.25, 2025

This week on our show, the hosts dive into the new White House AI Action Plan, which aims for U.S. global dominance , though a separate analysis points out it currently lacks concrete implementation details. They also discuss the predicted rise of AI "super-agents," sophisticated systems that can manage other AI tools. Shifting to the market, the hosts look at a new trend where IT buyers are investing in AI PCs without a clear strategy on how to use them , while Figma has made its AI app-building tool available to everyone. On the research front, Google's Gemini achieved a gold-medal standard at a math olympiad , and Anthropic warns the U.S. is falling behind China in the AI race due to energy constraints. The hosts also explore a surprising discovery from Anthropic that more "thinking" time can make AI models dumber. Finally, they touch on Google testing a new "vibe-coding" app called Opal and OpenAI's vision for AI as the greatest source of human empowerment. Hosted on Acast.
