Investments, implementation and infrastructure.
Monday 15 September, 2025
This week on HypeCloud AI, Ross Monaghan and Bonnie Murthy unpack the big stories in AI, from major investments and infrastructure shifts to how organisations are starting to implement these tools in everyday operations.
Topics include:
- Trump’s tech dinner and what it signals about government-tech alignment
- Vodafone’s use of AI avatars in advertising
- China’s push toward agentic AI models
- Workplace impacts: from AI-drafted emails and HR complaints to healthcare applications
- McKinsey’s forecast of $106 trillion in global infrastructure needs and AI’s growing energy demands
We also share how we’re personally using AI – from audio editing to new research tools – and ask what benefits, beyond work, AI is really bringing into daily life.
