Introduction:
In this episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping today’s economic and technological landscapes. Apollo Global CEO Marc Rowan challenges the traditional public stock market model, advocating for private markets as the future of investment amid shifting dynamics. We then examine SAP’s ambitious €20 billion investment to build a European “sovereign cloud,” designed to protect data privacy and advance AI development within the EU. Despite Amazon CEO Andy Jassy’s claims of record-breaking Prime Day success, internal data reveals a decline in U.S. Prime sign-ups, raising questions about membership growth. Next, Norwegian startup Aviant is innovating with drone delivery to bring hot food to remote Scandinavian communities, addressing delivery challenges with cutting-edge technology. Finally, we discuss the controversy sparked by Bristol City Council’s use of AI-generated artwork for a creative course booklet, which has drawn criticism from artists concerned about the impact on their craft.
