Each episode tracks the latest developments through three lenses: international relations and trade, business and industry, and everyday life — always asking not just what happened, but who it affects and why it matters. Reporting is grounded, measured, and sourced — we follow the evidence, not speculation.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-20T16:18:33.501210+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-eye-on-ai-7984767"},"episode":{"title":"A Eye on AI - September 8, 2026, 12 PM Eastern","slug":"a-eye-on-ai-september-8-2026-12-pm-eastern","published_at":"2026-09-08T17:39:06+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-eye-on-ai-7984767/a-eye-on-ai-september-8-2026-12-pm-eastern","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-eye-on-ai-7984767","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-eye-on-ai-september-8-2026-12-pm-eastern--75004056","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/75004056/episode_audio.mp3","summary":"Mistral raises €3B in Europe's largest-ever tech round to boost sovereign AI OpenAI unveils GPT-6 Astra, its most intelligent and aligned model yet China's humanoid robot boom: Unitree's IPO pop and startups finding niches A Eye on AI - 12:30 PM This episode of A Eye on AI kicks off with French AI lab Mistral raising €3 billion at a valuation over €21 billion, the biggest equity round ever by a European tech company, as it positions itself as Europe's sovereign AI champion.
