This week is another awesome episode of The Next Wave podcast.

Matt Wolfe and I go deep on the wild week in AI—with surprising moves from OpenAI and Anthropic, new AI model launches, cutting-edge tools for video creators, and even Hollywood’s growing relationship with artificial intelligence. If you’re interested in where the AI world is heading and how it touches everything from your business to your favorite streaming shows, this recap breaks it down simply.

We're talking about who’s winning the AI model race, what the differences are between the latest smart tools, why everyone’s suddenly switching away from ChatGPT, and how big tech is handling privacy issues as real AI blends with our lives. We even look at how Netflix and Ben Affleck are using AI in Hollywood. Let’s get right into it!
