AI Weekly Wrap: Big Moves, Bold Laws, and Smarter Screens - October 14-20, 2025

Welcome to your weekly AI briefing - short, sharp and guaranteed to make you sound like you know what’s happening in the future before anyone else.

 🧠 OpenAI Turns Up the Heat: OpenAI is playing chess while the rest are playing checkers. This week, they inked a multi-year deal with Broadcom to supply AI processors and networking tech - enough juice to deploy 10 gigawatts of AI accelerators by 2029. Translation: OpenAI is making sure its brainy bots stay faster, smarter, and louder than everyone else’s.

 🖥️ Windows 11 Gets a Brain: Microsoft isn’t messing around. Copilot just levelled up: voice activation is live, vision features expanded globally, and “Copilot Actions” lets you do real-life things, like book a table at your favourite restaurant, straight from your desktop. The message is clear: AI isn’t optional anymore; it’s built into the very fabric of your digital life.

 🏛️ California Shows the World How to Govern AI: Transparency is king. California just signed Senate Bill 243, forcing AI chatbot developers to tell users when they’re chatting with a bot. No more pretending you’re texting a human. This move is especially important in mental health spaces and it sets a new benchmark for governments everywhere.

 🎬 AI Hits Prime Time: Bollywood (and beyond) is getting smarter. JioStar and Collective Media Network are dropping “Mahabharat: EkDharmayudh” on October 25, India’s first AI-powered premium entertainment series. AI is no longer behind the scenes; it’s now in the director’s chair.

 🧪 AI in Healthcare: Smarter Genes, Better Medicine: Google is flexing its science muscles with a new AI tool that identifies genetic drivers of cancer. Personalized medicine just got a turbo boost - AI is helping doctors understand the root of disease faster than ever before.

 ⚡ The Bottom Line
‍AI isn’t waiting for anyone. From powering your PC and making your Netflix binge smarter, to rewriting the rules of law and medicine, this week proves one thing: if you’re not paying attention, you’ll get left behind.
