About this episode

In this episode of Bot Boundaries, co‑hosts Jackie and Katie dive into the latest developments in global AI governance and what it means for businesses, citizens, and policymakers alike.

They discuss the first global UN dialogue on AI governance, which brought together all 193 member states in Geneva. They unpack the implementation of the EU AI Act and compare Europe’s regulatory framework with the USA's more voluntary, industry-led approach. 

In their “Love It or Leave It” segment, they weigh in on recent corporate clashes between Apple, OpenAI, and Elon Musk. They also explore the latest advancements in voice AI and discuss the delicate balance between creating more human-like AI experiences and avoiding unhealthy emotional dependency.
