Big Tech is going all-in on AI. How ready is your data for that world? This week on Diffusion, Ben Fagg unpacks how big tech, governments, and even AI social networks are stress‑testing what responsible AI really looks like. ✅ Alphabet plans up to $185B in 2026 capex, SpaceX acquires xAI at a combined $1.25T valuation, and ElevenLabs triples its valuation to $11B as it doubles down on enterprise voice. ✅ The Middle East scales AI with SAMAI 2 to upskill 1.2M Saudi public workers, while Qatar grows its tech Fund of Funds to around $3B. ✅ Moltbook, a social network for AI agents, leaks private messages and user data — a warning shot for anyone deploying agents without robust governance. The theme: AI spend is surging, but compliant, well‑governed data is still the real competitive edge. ▶️ Hit play to catch the full 3‑minute breakdown. #AIInfrastructure #AIData #GenAI #AIGovernance #AITrainingData
