Without a beat, Betty decides where she stands (with no wiggle room) but Veronica’s not so sure. And is Betty actually really such a socialist?


Plus: Could the spirit of ubuntu be the saving grace for AI? Can anything get done in China with so many egos in the room? And does Jensen Huang have the right idea about managing people and organisations? Betty really (really) hopes so.


KEEPING US HONEST:

The actual definition of our word for the week means “to be absorbed, included or categorised as part of a larger whole”. But we didn’t want to ruin Betty’s moment so we thought we’d fact check ourselves here.
