AI can read minds now, and is your co-host a clone?

In episode 46 of The AI Fix, China trolls US tariffs, a microscopic pogoing flea-bot makes a tiny leap forward for robotics, Google unveils the Agent2Agent protocol, a robot dog is so cute it ruins Graham's entire day, and Europe commits €20 billion and all of its buzzwords to five moonshot AI gigafactories.

Graham brings his clone to work for a game of “Cluley or Cloney”, and Mark introduces Graham to a mind-reading technology that could transform the lives of people with serious neurological disorders.
