Sweden’s AI gamble, NotebookLM goes public & more (June 5, 2025)

👋 Hey there,

Today’s AI headlines show a split screen of promise and paranoia. On one side, we’ve got godfathers launching safety labs and Microsoft teaching agents in under an hour. On the other? Notebooks going public and Sweden going all-in.

Let’s dive in.

🤖 Agents, Memory & Making Things Real

🧠 Microsoft’s Agent Crash Course

Microsoft dropped a free one-hour “AI Agents for Beginners” course. Learn how to build agents with a brain (LLM), memory, and tools using Semantic Kernel or Autogen. It’s perfect for devs and curious no-coders alike.

A diverse group of four people watch an online course on their laptops in a bright, white workspace, with notebooks, coffee mugs, and a subtle Microsoft logo on the screen.

📚 NotebookLM Goes Social

Google’s AI notebook now supports public sharing. Users can link directly to AI-generated summaries and Q&A while protecting source content, a game-changer for collaborative research.

👨‍💻 GitHub Copilot Spaces Launched

GitHub launches Copilot Spaces, which will let teams customize Copilot into a subject-matter expert by curating code, docs, and instructions, keeping everything synced as your repo evolves.

🛡️ Safety, Sovereignty & Science

🧪 Yoshua Bengio’s AI Safety Lab

One of AI’s founding fathers launched LawZero, a $30M nonprofit focused on building “safe-by-design” AI that’s honest and probability-based, not overly confident or deceptive.

🇸🇪 Sweden Bets Big on AI Agents

Sana Agents just rolled out to Sweden. It will support 2.3 million Swedish students, educators, and public workers, possibly the largest AI transformation in government to date. Will other countries follow suit?

🩺 FDA Approves AI Breast Cancer Predictor

Clarity Breast becomes the first AI tool approved to predict 5-year breast cancer risk from 2D mammograms, detecting patterns invisible to the human eye.

🛠️ Tools of the Day

  • HeyGen - full avatar control with voice, gestures, and more
  • JigsawStack - open-source deep research orchestration
  • Job for Agent - the 1st job board for autonomous AI agents

🧪 Prompt of the Day

Prompt:
“I’m interested in [insert topic] and its business application. Provide case studies from companies showing challenges, solutions, and results.”

⚡ Quick Hits

🧾 TLDR

Microsoft made agents easier to build, GitHub made Copilot collaborative, and Sweden bet big on AI agents for the public sector. NotebookLM is now shareable, Bengio is building “honest” AI, and the FDA approved a predictive AI cancer tool. AI is now public, powerful, and very personal.

👋 Until next time,
David
