About this episode

The episode discusses the rapid shutdown of Anthropic's AI model and the implications for women's voices in technology.

Sometimes the most dangerous thing about AI isn't what it can do. It's who gets to decide when to turn it off. Anthropic built the most powerful version of its AI model yet, released it to the public, and then three days later, the US government ordered them to shut it down. Worldwide. For everyone. But here's the twist: the security loop that triggered the shutdown wasn't found by a malicious hacker in a hoodie. It centred around an elegant shift in framing, pointed out by cybersecurity pioneer Katie Moussouri, proving that a simple change in perspective can completely bypass a multi-billion-dollar tech filter. In this episode of AI Ready Women, Georgie and Lou unpack the Anthropic drama, the race to build more powerful AI, and what it all means for women trying to stay ahead in a world where the rules are changing faster than anyone can keep up. This is about control. It's about trust. It's about who gets a say in the future we're building. And it's about why women's voices, women's questions, and women's perspectives matter more than ever before. ____________ ✨ 60 Day Bold Move Career Accelerator ✨ Learn more here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves ____________ 📚…
