September 6, 2025 - AI-Now - Innovation, Investment Roundup - Deep Dive with Alex and Jessica

This episode dives into the accelerating global AI sector, highlighting a distinct market maturation driven by strategic independence and specialized innovation. We explore the intense competition in the Asian market, where DeepSeek is pushing "agentic capabilities" beyond traditional chatbots for complex, multi-step tasks with minimal intervention. OpenAI's bold move to develop custom AI chips signals a crucial shift towards hardware independence and cost optimization for tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Meta, reducing reliance on Nvidia GPUs. The UK AI sector is experiencing a boom with record £2.9 billion investment and significant job creation, yet faces critical hurdles in late-stage funding and regulatory clarity, emphasizing the need for a "clearer rulebook". Finally, we examine the real-world impact of AI through specialized applications like Enveda's AI-powered drug discovery harnessing natural products, and Sierra's high-value customer service automation, alongside critical discussions on AI ethics and intellectual property ownership following cases like Warner Bros. Discovery vs. Midjourney.
