In this June news episode, host Ather Gattami sits down with Anders Arpteg to unpack the biggest AI developments from the past month. The discussion looks beyond frontier model hype to the infrastructure, platforms and specialised models that are starting to define real-world adoption. From GPT 5.6, Claude and China's fast-rising open models to custom chips, enterprise agents, geopolitical pressure, continual learning and AI-enabled cyberattacks, the episode explores where advantage in AI is really shifting: from model weights alone to data, orchestration, efficiency and domain expertise.

In this May news episode, our host Ather Gattami sits with Anders Arpteg to discuss how the industry accelerating on several fronts at once: coding, agentic workflows, enterprise tooling and research capability. As Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Mistral and others push new models and platforms, the competitive edge is shifting from raw model performance toward speed, integration, transparency and data sovereignty. At the same time, breakthroughs in mathematical proof, AI-assisted research and formal reasoning suggest the technology is beginning to move beyond pattern recognition toward genuinely novel insight and more autonomous problem-solving.

In this special episode of AI-Podden, our host Ather Gattami sits down with Rolf Njor Jensen, VP of Technology at Lunar to explore how AI is reshaping the future of banking. From AI-powered support agents and smarter customer onboarding, to the rise of "invisible banking", we discuss how financial services could move beyond the banking app and become part of everyday digital experiences. We also look at what it takes to use AI responsibly in one of the world's most regulated industries, including data governance, privacy, security, human oversight and the new identity models needed for agentic AI.

In this March news episode, our host Ather Gattami sits with Anders Arpteg to unpack a fast-moving period in AI, from NVIDIA GTC and the rise of agentic, always-on systems to the growing demand for inference, physical AI and autonomous driving. They argue that while the industry is moving quickly and companies are racing to build more proactive, capable systems, current models are still far weaker at reasoning and action-taking than the hype often suggests, something they link to the poor results on Arc AGI 3. The conversation also touches on shifting power dynamics between companies like Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta, before ending on a more forward-looking note with Semantic Tube Prediction, a research idea that could offer a more efficient path to reasoning in latent space rather than through token-by-token prediction.    

In this February news update, our host Ather Gattami sits with Anders Arpteg, to recap the latest and most significant shifts in AI. On the menu; OpenAI's $100 billion funding round, intensifying competition from companies like Anthropic, Google, and xAI, and the growing geopolitical role of AI in defense and national security. They also explore the gap between rapid technological progress and slower real-world adoption, the evolving role of software engineers as AI automates more coding tasks, and Sweden's new AI strategy aimed at becoming a leading AI nation through stronger adoption and practical application of AI.  

In this months January news update, hosts Ather Gattami and Anders Arpteg, recap the latest and most significant shifts in AI. They including new model releases, the shift toward autonomous agent systems like OpenClaw, and breakthroughs in reasoning such as Gemini DeepThink's results. They also discuss the growing concentration of AI power among tech giants, the role of open and specialized models, and why rapid adoption will be critical for companies and individuals as AI capabilities accelerate.  

In this episode, Anders Hammarbäck, co-founder of Redpine AI, discusses how data, not models - will define the winners in the AI era. He explains RedPine's role as a "knowledge layer" that unlocks proprietary, high-quality data to improve AI accuracy and reduce hallucinations, especially in sectors like healthcare and pharmaceuticals. The conversation also covers the potential value of personal data, the near-term outlook for AI and AGI, Europe's position in the global AI race, and Ander's shift from venture capital to founding a company focused on data as the core competitive advantage in AI.  

Happy New Year listeners! In our first AI-Podden news update of 2026, our hosts Ather Gattami and Anders Arpteg, reflect on the key highlights of AI in 2025 and what lies ahead. They discuss OpenAI's loss of momentum, Google Gemini's rise, the hype and shortcomings of agentic AI, and the growing gap between rapid technological progress and real-world adoption. The conversation also covers infrastructure and hardware investments, energy efficiency, AI sovereignty, regulation, geopolitics, robotics, and the shift toward smaller, more specialised models, with a clear warning that the AI divide between leaders and laggards is likely to widen further in 2026. It promises to be a year full of twists, turns and surprises in the world of AI.

In this months November news update, our hosts; Ather Gattami and Anders Arpteg, recap November's biggest AI shifts. Google's Gemini 3 Pro taking the lead, OpenAI facing pressure over massive infrastructure bets and AGI expectations, Yann LeCun leaving Meta for new research ventures, the EU softening its regulatory stance, and Grok sparking laughs with overly pro-Elon responses, capturing both rapid progress and rising bubble concerns.
