Description

This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we're coming to you from our mobile recording studio, aka Todd's car, as he and John make the most of their time in a clogged parking garage to discuss the comments they had just heard from T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert at the Technology Alliance annual State of Technology luncheon.
Topics include artificial intelligence, national security concerns over Chinese hacking, downtown safety, and getting employees back to the office. From there, we take an impromptu driving tour of Amazon HQ to see things first-hand.
Stories discussed on this week's show:

How T-Mobile plans to use AI to improve one of its most important business metrics
‘It’s your responsibility’: T-Mobile CEO exhorts tech industry leaders to return to the office
Car and foot traffic data show impact of Amazon’s return to office mandate on Seattle commutes
Microsoft says critical U.S. infrastructure targeted by Chinese hackers
Amazon responds to walkout plan: ‘We respect our employees’ rights to express their opinions’

With GeekWire co-founders Todd Bishop and John Cook. Audio clips of Sievert provided by the Tech Alliance. See GeekWire.com for more coverage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
