Episode Summary

In this episode, we explore four major developments shaping the future of artificial intelligence — from the courtroom to the classroom. Salesforce faces a lawsuit over allegedly using copyrighted books to train its AI models. Silicon Valley is locked in a heated feud between tech giants and AI safety advocates. Meanwhile, Wikipedia’s traffic is quietly slipping as AI-generated search results and social media change how people seek information. And in South Korea, a trillion-won experiment with AI textbooks has collapsed after just four months. Together, these stories reveal how the AI revolution is colliding with ethics, education, and human trust.
