In this episode, we explore four major shifts at the intersection of AI, industry, and policy. From Qatar Airways launching Sama—the world’s first AI-powered digital cabin crew for cargo—to SurgeONE's transformative acquisition of compliance veteran MGL Consulting, the future of automation is here. We also cover Elon Musk’s controversial exit from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Manufacturing Leadership Council’s new report on AI’s role in reviving American industry. It’s a fast-paced, insight-packed look at how tech is reengineering logistics, regulation, governance, and production.
