41
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 2>camera and microphone stay active so Meta AI can continuously

42
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 2>see and hear what you do. New Conversation Focus uses

43
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>AI to filter out background noise in loud rooms. Meanwhile,

<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty six, with audio only models running Gemini and

46
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 2>display models built on Android XR Google Io. On May twentieth,

47

<v Speaker 2>AI assistance is about to go mainstream coverage at Meta

50
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 2>and CNBC. The Open Ai and Microsoft partnership got a

51
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.599

52
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>excluded ucivity, killing the famous AGI clause and freeing OpenAI

53
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>to use Amazon, Google and other cloud providers. Microsoft will

54
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 2>continue licensing open AI's technology through twenty thirty two and

55
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.439

56
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 2>competition between cloud providers means lower AI inference prices, broader availability,

57

<v Speaker 2>mature governance model for autonomous agents. The SMB lesson here

99
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 2>is direct. Define what your AI agents can and cannot

100
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 2>do in writing before you deploy them. Cover scope, data, access,

101
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.800
<v Speaker 2>escalation rules, and human approval thresholds. Especially important now that
