October 29, 2025

Alan Shimel, Mike Vizard, Dan O’Brien, Kate Scarcella, and Chris Blask dive into the intersection of quantum technology, government investment, and AI regulation. The conversation explores how the U.S. government’s interest in quantum startups raises questions about fairness, innovation policy, and the concentration of technological power.

The gang also examines the shifting landscape of AI politics, including the White House’s regulatory stance, the influence of malicious actors on public discourse, and the pressing need for transparent governance and public awareness in the age of AI.
