What happens when your closest tech partner morphs into a direct competitor—while regulators, watchdogs and Wall Street all look on?
This week’s Weekend-News deep-dive unpacks the high-stakes AI arms race: OpenAI sparring with Microsoft, Google gutting its own search empire to fund a $75 B AI push, Meta writing $100 M signing bonuses—and why every one of those moves lands squarely on a CEO’s desk.
Future-proof your organisation by up-skilling talent, cleaning your data silos and baking AI governance into every growth bet—before the next “frenemy” move hits your balance sheet.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- The OpenAI Files: governance red flags, cultural fissures and why watchdogs say “recklessness” is now an enterprise risk.
- Microsoft vs OpenAI divorce watch: $13 B invested—now fighting over clouds, code and customers.
- Google’s voluntary buy-outs & back-to-office ultimatum: how a 56 % revenue engine is being dismantled to bankroll AI.
- What a one-person, $80 M exit tells you about competitive advantage (hint: it’s not headcount).
- Privacy pain points: from Meta’s leaked user data to calls for an AI-client privilege protecting your own employees’ chats.
- Courtroom storm clouds: Hollywood vs Midjourney, environmental suits versus Elon’s server farms, and why every board needs an IP-risk dashboard—yesterday.
- Short-form video shake-up: VO3, YouTube Shorts & the end of “traditional” ad budgets.
- Wearables 2.0: Meta × Oakley, Snap Spectacles & Apple’s 2026 AR gambit—how ambient AI will live on your employees’ faces.
