In this episode, we dive into a world in rapid recalibration. Artificial intelligence is no longer a discrete industry; it’s rewriting the rules of every industry. We unpack how explosive corporate spending on AI is reshaping work, automating communication and entry-level digital jobs, and even turning human customer support into a luxury upsell.

From there, we zoom out to the global tech race: the United States doubling down on AI infrastructure, India making bold moves in quantum computing to challenge the US–China duopoly, and governments scrambling to stay ahead of the next computational leap.

But the economic ground is shifting too. Persistent US tariff battles continue to push China, India, and others to rethink their trade strategies, while slow structural changes chip away at the US dollar’s dominance as the world’s invoicing currency.

We also break down corporate and regulatory storylines that reveal how industries are repositioning for an uncertain future: General Motors easing off its once-aggressive EV rollout, India reviving its coliving real estate market, and policymakers proposing new rules for spectrum auctions.

It is a dense, dynamic moment in global tech and economics, and this episode is your guided tour through the forces rebooting the world.
