In this episode, we examine the security and geopolitical challenges reshaping the AI landscape. Anthropic’s Claude AI suffered a major leak of its 24,000-token system prompt, raising alarms over intellectual property security. We also explore "Absolute Zero," a radical new training method developed by Tsinghua University and BIGAI that enables autonomous AI reasoning without human-labeled data—achieving state-of-the-art results while raising ethical concerns. Finally, we dive into U.S. congressional hearings targeting China's DeepSeek over alleged AI IP theft and export control violations. These stories highlight the urgent need for AI security, transparency, and international accountability.
