Mexico’s Economic Plan and San Francisco’s A.I. Boom

In today's episode, we explore Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's 'Plan Mexico' aimed at boosting the nation's economy, alongside U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to delay tariffs on Mexican goods. We also delve into San Francisco's resurgence as a hub for artificial intelligence innovation, driven by significant venture funding and the return of tech talent. Additionally, we discuss the alarming rise in sophisticated cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure and the measures being taken to counter these threats.
