Don’t be the one putting your company at risk 😳

Most meetings include confidential data - from project details to client information.

But not every AI notetaker protects that information with the security your company deserves.

If the AI notetaker you’re using trains their AI models on your team’s conversations, you could be putting your company at risk without realizing it.

This AI Meeting Notetaker Security Checklist helps you avoid that.

In just two minutes, you’ll learn the 7 checks to ensure your team’s AI meeting notes stay private and secure.

ALBANIA

🏛️ Albania Appoints AI as Cabinet Minister

Albania just made history by naming an AI assistant, Diella, as its cabinet minister in charge of public procurement. The move aims to cut corruption from government tenders and marks the world’s first AI-driven ministerial role.

The Details:

• Diella has served since January as a voice-powered assistant on Albania’s e-portal, helping citizens access 95% of government services online

• She will now oversee public tenders, gradually taking power from ministries to ensure contracts are judged transparently

• The system is designed to remove bribes, threats, and conflicts of interest in procurement decisions

• Prime Minister Edi Rama said AI would guarantee that “all public spending in the tender process is 100% clear”

• Diella appears in traditional Albanian attire on the e-portal, symbolizing cultural trust and accessibility

Why it matters:

This is more than symbolism — Albania is testing whether AI can actually clean up one of government’s most corruption-prone areas. If successful, it could inspire other countries to experiment with AI as an unbiased enforcer in public governance.

SAM ALTMAN

🚀 Sam Altman’s Trillion-Dollar AI Ambition

After launching GPT-5, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is setting his sights far beyond chatbots. He’s laying the groundwork for a multi-trillion-dollar AI ecosystem—spanning chips, data centers, browsers, and even brain-computer interfaces.

The Details:

• Altman confirmed OpenAI is planning to scale to 100 million GPUs, potentially costing $3 trillion—a massive leap to power the future of AGI.

• He’s exploring acquisitions like Google Chrome to integrate AI deeper into how we browse and search.

• OpenAI may launch its own AI-powered consumer hardware, with custom chips and data centers at the core.

• New financial models are being designed to fund this infrastructure race, including sovereign partnerships.

• Altman also hinted at future experiments in brain-computer interfaces—tying AI even closer to human cognition.

Why it matters:

This isn’t just tech ambition—it’s an industrial transformation. If Altman succeeds, OpenAI could reshape the entire digital economy, shift control of infrastructure from Big Tech to AI-first players, and kick off a new era of trillion-dollar AI infrastructure wars.
