If Siri Walked, ChatGPT Is Jogging || This Week in AI

Описание: In this week’s edition of This Week in AI on Wine Down With Kev, Kevin Spann makes one thing crystal clear: AI is no longer “coming soon.” AI is here, it’s regulated, and it’s shaping how we work, hire, sell, and communicate right now.

Kevin breaks down four major AI developments from the week, starting with state-level AI regulation in California and New York. These new laws focus on transparency, bias testing, consumer protection, and workforce impact—especially in industries like insurance, finance, and small business. The takeaway: regulation isn’t a threat; clarity is an advantage for businesses that want to do AI the right way.

Next, Kevin explores ChatGPT’s new voice feature, turning AI from a typing tool into a real-time thinking partner. From role-playing sales conversations to talking through decisions out loud, AI is officially moving from “prompting” to conversation—and that changes everything.

The episode also dives into LinkedIn’s new AI-powered ad features, including boosting personal posts, thought-leader ads, and built-in lead generation for events. Kevin shares how this directly impacts personal brands, consultants, and business owners who already create value-driven content.

Finally, Kevin explains the implications of ChatGPT reading and responding to Gmail, with a strong emphasis on security, compliance, and guardrails. AI can help summarize, prioritize, and draft—but humans must remain in control.

The episode closes with real-world reflections, humor, and a reminder that AI isn’t here to replace people—it’s here to remove friction so humans can do what humans do best.
