Record labels including Sony, Universal and Warner are suing two major AI music-making companies, accusing them of copyright infringement. Mitch Glazier, CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, the industry group that represents record labels, talks to us about the argument they’re making. Next, we look at defense technology and explore why Silicon Valley appears to be changing its tune on collaboration with the military. Chris Kirchhoff, who used to run a special Pentagon office in Silicon Valley, explains what he thinks is behind this shift. And finally, we play another round of HatGPT.
