📞 Google’s New AI Handles Phone Calls for You

Google just launched two experimental AI features that make phone calls on your behalf, streamlining inquiries about local services and customer support. Using advanced Duplex AI, these tools eliminate the hassle of waiting on hold or making service calls manually.

The Decode:

• Ask for Me’ Automates Local Service Calls – Google’s AI contacts businesses for pricing and availability on services like auto repairs and salons, then sends a text or email summary within 30 minutes.
  
• Talk to a Live Representative’ Waits on Hold – This feature calls customer service lines, holds your place in the queue, and notifies you when a rep is available, saving time and frustration.
  
• Powered by Google’s Duplex AI – Both tools use natural-sounding AI to handle real-time phone conversations, making interactions smoother and more efficient.

With younger generations avoiding phone calls, AI-powered assistants could see mass adoption. As customer service also shifts toward AI, the future may soon be AIs calling other AIs to get things done.

🔥 OpenAI Just Went NUCLEAR (Literally)
Insights from WSJ

OpenAI is taking a massive leap in AI-powered science, striking a deal with US National Laboratories to supercharge 15,000 scientists with advanced AI models. OpenAI is raising $40B, pushing its valuation beyond $300B, even while operating at a loss. Despite the financial risks, SoftBank is betting big, ready to invest $15-25B. 

The Decode:

• SoftBank Bets Big on OpenAI – Despite burning cash, OpenAI is securing $40B in funding, signaling investor belief in its AI-first future. SoftBank’s $15-25B backing shows that even with major losses, OpenAI remains the AI industry’s biggest player.
  
• Supercharging Science With AI –  OpenAI is deploying advanced AI models on Venado, a NVIDIA supercomputer, for 15,000 US National Lab scientists. The focus includes medical research, disease prevention, power grid security, and renewable energy. AI will also advance physics, astrophysics, and materials science.
  
• The Open vs. Closed AI War Intensifies – Anthropic’s Dario Amodei supports tight AI controls for national security, revealing DeepSeek’s hidden $1B AI chip investment as proof of the risks. Meanwhile, Hugging Face’s Thomas Wolf pushes for open AI, pointing out that DeepSeek published everything openly, enabling others to build on it.

OpenAI’s $300B valuation and national lab deal show AI is becoming a national security asset, but open-source developers are ensuring AI remains accessible. The future is shaping up to be a battle between AI gatekeepers and those pushing for decentralized progress.
