Should we be worried in the US? I say YES... things may be moving in the wrong direction for personal brand builders like us...

In this episode, we delve into the recent missteps of Apple News’ AI feature, which delivered inaccurate and misleading alerts about notable figures such as Luigi Mangione, Luke Littler, Rafael Nadal, Pete Hegseth, and Benjamin Netanyahu. From fabricated headlines to premature announcements, we unpack the details of what went wrong, the implications for AI in news, and the lessons for tech companies and entrepreneurs alike.

The AI race isn’t just about technology—it’s about survival.

The countries that dominate AI won’t just lead in tech; they’ll control industries, economies, and even military power. And here’s the scariest part: the future of AI might not include you.

Why? Because what you should really be worried about is when AI stops being open-source—when access to cutting-edge AI is closed to the public. That’s when innovation gets locked behind closed doors, and the tools to create, compete, and innovate disappear. At that point, you won’t control AI; it will control you.

Right now, China and the US are locked in a battle for AI dominance. Recently, China launched DeepSeek, an AI model built at a fraction of the cost of OpenAI’s top systems—and it’s a direct challenge to global AI leadership.

Here’s why this matters to you:

✅ When AI is no longer open-source, we all lose. Innovation will be dictated by governments and corporations. You’ll only see the outputs they allow you to see, while your ability to build and compete vanishes.

✅ AI leadership = global power. The countries leading AI will dominate in every domain—healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure, and the military. This isn’t just about technology; it’s about reshaping the future.

✅ The skills gap is closing fast. If you’re not learning AI now, you risk being left behind. Leaders like Elon Musk are calling for top talent in AI, and the competition is fierce.

Here’s the bottom line: The Cold War of AI is here, and the window of opportunity is shrinking. This isn’t the time to sit on the sidelines. It’s the time to learn, adapt, and position yourself for the future.

👉 Take action now:

✔️ Start learning the fundamentals of AI—even if you’re not technical.

✔️ Experiment with tools and build something meaningful.

✔️ Stay ahead by applying what you learn to your career or business.

The countries winning the AI race are already deciding the rules. The only question is: will you keep up?

What are you doing to prepare for the AI future?
