Is the U.S. government really ready to lead the AI race—or just making noise?

In this week’s Weekend News Edition of the Leveraging AI Podcast, Isar Meitis breaks down the jaw-dropping implications of America's new AI Action Plan, straight from the U.S. administration. It’s bold, ambitious, and loaded with buzzwords—but how much is substance versus sizzle?

We unpack the real strategic priorities behind the plan—from global AI dominance to deregulation, workforce upskilling, and the trillion-dollar infrastructure buildup. But that’s not all.

In this session, you'll discover:

• Why the U.S. AI Action Plan matters more than most realize—and what’s missing
• The truth behind Marc Benioff’s "AI will augment, not replace" promise
• What new salary and hiring data reveal about AI's impact on your workforce
• The real reason Anthropic is winning enterprise AI (and OpenAI’s counter-move)
• Why business leaders must rethink tech stacks now—thanks to AI
• How AI is silently eating into your website traffic and customer journeys
• The astonishing daily usage stats of ChatGPT vs. Google (it's closer than you think)
• How Zuckerberg’s AI vision flips the script: from work tool to life copilot
• The eye-popping rise of AI-powered glasses and personalized assistants
• Why the rise of global AI competition (China’s got serious game) can't be ignored
• And yes—where and when GPT-5 might actually drop
