About this episode

In this week's deep dive episode ofThe Rundown, we explore how Big Tech is positioning itself as a dominant player in the race for artificial intelligence. As tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta push to control this next frontier, the Trump administration is taking a hard stance on regulating their power. With antitrust investigations and new policies on the horizon, these companies face increasing pressure to balance innovation with government scrutiny.
