This week, Pivot examined the collision between Silicon Valley's self-regulation efforts and Washington's growing skepticism of Big Tech's intentions. From Nvidia's AI safety claims to the administration's competing impulses on AI governance, the hosts traced how tech companies are simultaneously seeking influence in government while facing questions about whether their commitments to responsible AI are genuine or performative. The week concluded with historian Timothy Snyder's stark warning that America's technological and institutional advantages may be eroding faster than the nation recognizes.
