Daily AI News
A daily briefing on the biggest AI news — what shipped, what broke, and what it means — in 15 minutes or less, every weekday morning.
About the show
AI Chat is the daily news podcast for anyone trying to keep up with artificial intelligence. Every weekday, host Jaeden Schafer covers the single biggest AI story of the day, then runs through the other headlines you need to know — model releases from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta; funding rounds and M&A across the AI economy; regulatory moves in the U.S., EU, and UK; and the product launches reshaping how people work. Recent episodes have covered Anthropic’s Opus 4.7 release, the $300B Q1 2026 venture funding record, OpenAI’s acquisition of TBPN, the Claude Mythos security audit, and more. No hype cycles, no sponsor-driven takes — just the wires, the numbers, and the implications.
