Is the U.S. government fighting yesterday’s tech wars while the world races toward an AI-driven future? In this CNN International interview, hosted by Becky Anderson, tech expert Shelly Palmer—CEO of The Palmer Group and Professor of Advanced Media in Residence at Syracuse University—unpacks the far-reaching implications of ongoing antitrust lawsuits against Alphabet (Google) and Meta (Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp).
Palmer explains why the DOJ’s focus on search and advertising might be missing the mark in a world rapidly shifting toward AI agents, answer engines, and autonomous data-driven interfaces. He dives into the future of Google’s AI ecosystem—highlighting tools like Gemini 2.5 Pro and Google VEO—and unpacks Mark Zuckerberg’s bold vision for Meta, including open-source AI models like LLaMA, wearable tech like Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, and what may replace smartphones entirely.
🧠 Learn why Palmer believes the outcomes of these trials might be irrelevant by the time they conclude—and what tech leaders know that regulators don’t.
