Is the AI party over after a week from hell? | BBC News

After a shock US midterm election result handed Democrats control of both houses of Congress, the companies leading the AI revolution suddenly face an uncomfortable reality: investigations, subpoenas, public backlash and the prospect of sweeping new regulation.

At the very centre of the storm is the now former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company sits at the heart of the global AI boom.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk's political gamble appears to have backfired spectacularly. After pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the midterms, Silicon Valley's most influential figures are now confronting a Congress that may be far less willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

This week on AI Decoded, Christian Fraser is joined by:

Rumman Chowdhury - former US Science Envoy for AI and CEO of Humane Intelligence

Tabitha Goldstaub - co-founder of LichenAI and former Chair of the UK AI Council

Lara Lewington - BBC technology journalist
