Why AI Washing Won’t Work Much Longer
About this episode
Corporate AI has spent years rewarding flashy announcements, dubious layoffs, and shallow use cases. But the arrival of powerful open models—and a much more sophisticated conversation about routing, customization, costs, and organizational redesign—may finally make AI washing harder to sustain. In the headlines: Palantir’s march toward AI sovereignty, Google’s enormous bet on recursive self-improvement, and Claude exposes a major vulnerability in forensic DNA software.
