Record labels – including Sony, Universal and Warner – are suing two leading AI music production companies, accusing them of copyright infringement. Mitch Glazier, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America, the industry group that represents record companies, talks to us about their argument. Next, we take a look at defense technology and discuss why Silicon Valley seems to be changing its pace when it comes to working with the military. Chris Kirchhoff, who ran a special Pentagon office in Silicon Valley, explains what he thinks is behind the shift. And finally, we play another round of HatGPT.
