Scott Galloway and Ed Elson discuss the challenges facing OpenAI and the broader implications of AI in various sectors.

Scott Galloway and Ed Elson unpack OpenAI's turbulent week and assess the biggest threats facing the company. They discuss why China's latest AI models could pose a serious challenge and why Scott thinks there might be a leadership shake-up at OpenAI. Then, they examine the growing narrative that the market is becoming more diversified, arguing that AI's influence extends far beyond Big Tech, and identify the sectors they believe are least exposed to the AI trade.
