Episode Details

The whole AI industry gathered in Las Vegas today for Ai4 2026, and the message was unmistakable: enterprise agents have moved from the demo booth to the balance sheet. Host Jack King breaks down what happened today across AI and go-to-market — a new open-weight frontier model from Alibaba, another wave of capital into agentic GTM, a reshuffled generative-video race, MCP's biggest update (and a security scare), and the EU AI Act's disclosure clock now running — and what each means for revenue and marketing teams.
