In this episode, we examine three major AI developments reshaping technology and policy. Google's new Gemini-powered "Help me schedule" feature for Gmail is automating meeting coordination by analyzing calendar availability and suggesting meeting times directly within emails. We also discuss the consumer antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft alleging its exclusive OpenAI partnership has restricted competition and inflated ChatGPT prices. Finally, we analyze Senator Hawley's proposed GUARD Act, which aims to ban AI companions for minors and require chatbots to disclose their non-human status, following growing concerns about inappropriate AI interactions with young users.
