Today on the AI Daily Brief, the week AI grew up.

The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI.

All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in.

First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, KPMG, Granola, Robots

and Pencils, and Section. To get an ad-free version of the show, go to patreon.com slash AIDily Brief, or you can subscribe on Apple Podcasts. If you want to learn more about sponsoring the show, send us a note at sponsors at AIDailydief.aI. And of course, while you're hanging out at AID Daily Brief.aI., you can find out about everything going on in the ecosystem.

You can find a link to the companion experiences. This week we had one for the AI subsidy era show, as well as one for the AI power rankings. Or you can find links to our free education programs like Agent OS, where 3,500 or more of you are doing this now, and I'm starting to see people posting what they're building on social, which is very cool. In fact, if you want a preview of all the different types of training things we have coming up, you can go to AIDBtraining.com. I'll be talking more about that in the future. I wanted to share an experiment that I'm going to be doing sometimes. This show is obviously meant to cater to the most engaged and enfranchised AI users. If you're paying attention on a daily basis,

you're in the top 1%, I would say, of people who are using these tools. However, there are

lots of other folks out there who would like to be in the top 1% of AI users, but just don't

have the time between their job, their life, their responsibilities, whatever it is.

One of the obvious gaps for the AI Daily Brief is some sort of

weekly recap. And the reason that I haven't done it in the past is that I don't want to be

repetitive for the daily listeners. But here's the experiment. I'm not going to commit to an

every week weekly recap, but I am going to experiment with sometimes using Saturday for that,

and sometimes when there's not

all that much new news, which if that ever happens, it is 100% on the Friday show, never any other

day, I will sometimes use that slot for a weekly exploration. What that weekly exploration will not be

is just a regurgitation or a summary of the top five stories from the week or something like that.

Instead, what it'll be is an exploration of what I think is the most important theme of the week,

the meta story that the individual stories are all adding up to, the whole greater than the

sum of the parts. And this week for me, it was absolutely the idea that we are entering a different phase of the AI era.

And across everything from business model to market reaction to new products, I think you can see

this theme woven throughout.
