By
Malte Kirchner
Summary
This episode of the #heiseshow podcast discusses three main topics: Microsoft's Build developer conference where the company announced plans to transform Windows into a native AI agent platform (raising questions about whether Windows is still an operating system or becoming purely an AI platform); Volkswagen blocking car owners from accessing their own vehicle data via API; and US authorities monitoring tech critics (Tech-Extremismus). The hosts debate who truly benefits from Microsoft's AI push and the implications of these developments.
