In this episode of Talk That Tech, Trey Scott breaks down Apples surprising decision to partner with Google to power a smarter version of Siri using Gemini AI. The move signals a major shift in how Big Tech approaches artificial intelligence, prioritizing speed and reliability over building everything in house. The hosts explain what this deal really means, how Apple plans to protect user privacy, and why OpenAI was left out of one of the most valuable AI distribution deals in the world.

The conversation also dives into a new push for AI accountability as lawmakers reintroduce the BIAS Act, a proposed civil rights law designed to stop discrimination baked into government AI systems. From housing and hiring to policing and finance, the episode explores how algorithmic bias can quietly scale inequality and why this issue connects directly to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

Plus, the show covers the latest tech events, career advice for standing out at major conferences, and a powerful Brown Box story about unexpected career pivots that lead to long term success.

In this episode of Talk That Tech, Trey Scott and Joseph Smith break down Metas $2 billion acquisition of an AI startup and why it represents a turning point for the tech industry heading into 2026. This was not a speculative bet or a flashy experiment. It was a strategic move to lock in AI systems that already work and already make money.

The hosts explain why Big Tech is no longer chasing ideas but buying proven AI agents, what this means for startups hoping to stay independent, and how consolidation is accelerating across the industry. They also discuss how AI agents are shifting from optional tools to core business infrastructure and what that means for jobs, founders, and the future of work.

This episode connects the dots on why speed, execution, and real revenue matter more than ever as the AI race enters a new phase.
