## Resource

Three second-order effects of the AI buildout are landing on business leaders at the same time — on your people, on what gets built next, and on who's allowed to use any of it. In this episode, Stephen Forte covers: The AI-jobs story flips — Gallup finds tech workers who rarely use AI are about 3x more likely to be laid off (~18% vs 6%), while Forrester says 55% of companies that restructured around AI now regret it and Gartner expects half of AI-driven cutters to rehire by 2027. Plus Stephen's own playbook: why one-on-one, workflow-specific training beats lunch-and-learns every time. Capital rotates to world models — General Intuition (~$300M at ~$2B, having turned down a ~$500M OpenAI offer) and Odyssey ($310M at $1.45B, optimizing for Amazon's Trainium chips) both raise nine-figure rounds days apart, betting on AI that understands the physical world. The rules harden — JPMorgan and Goldman restrict Claude for overseas staff while a bipartisan bill moves to mandate government vetting of frontier models. The era of self-policing AI safety is ending. Sources: AI fluency vs. layoff risk — Gallup General Intuition ~$300M at ~$2B — TechCrunch Odyssey $310M at $1.45B, Trainium-optimized — TechCrunch JPMorgan/Goldman restrict Claude overseas — US News Gottheimer frontier-model vetting bill — Politico The AI Brief from the YPO Technology Network is a daily executive briefing on the AI developments that matter to business leaders. Hosted by Stephen Forte.
