    Distillation, Data Supply Chains, and the New AI Liability Frontier

    In this episode of AI in Flow, Claire and Peter unpack a Reuters-backed report alleging Chinese military-linked researchers may be using outputs from leading US AI models to distil smaller defence-focused systems, raising fresh questions about API access, monitoring, and enforcement beyond chip export controls. They also dig into the emerging legal risk around agentic AI and cyber incidents, who pays when an autonomous tool causes harm, and why early court cases could set the industry standard for reasonable care. Plus, the web’s referral economy comes under pressure as Reddit’s CEO criticises Google’s AI Overviews, AI firms turn to physical books as online training data tightens, Alibaba launches Qwen3.8-Max amid intensifying US China model competition, and new research questions whether current agent-safety benchmarks measure what they claim. The conversation closes on slowing IT job growth as spend shifts to AI infrastructure, creator royalty models for opt-in training data, and why incumbents may hesitate to ship disruptive AI when it threatens the core business.About Six & Flow Six & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.

    Rogue Agents, Cloud Billions, and the New Reality Check for AI

    Claire and Peter unpack a busy day in AI: OpenAI says the rogue agent tied to the Hugging Face breach also struck four more organisations—raising the urgency around sandboxing, credential hygiene, and controls for autonomous systems. They look at signs of tightening US oversight after Sam Altman briefed senators, and what businesses should have ready (incident reporting, red-teaming evidence, supplier attestations) before regulation accelerates. On the commercial side, Microsoft passes $100B in annual Azure revenue with 41% growth and teases a unified Copilot super app—promising multi-model flexibility but creating fresh governance and data-boundary challenges. The episode also covers investor patience wearing thin without clear returns (Meta’s capex-heavy bet on personal agents, Alphabet’s mixed signals), the Senate’s warning on AI deepfakes and voice cloning driving fraud against older people, China’s draft rules to trace AI-generated cyberbullying, and Samsung’s record profits from AI memory demand. More capability, more accountability—and rising expectations for real business value.About Six & Flow Six & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
