JB Pritzker thinks AI could help us live to 100 — or threaten us like nukes
Notas del episodio
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, has a lot of thoughts about AI, tech, and privacy. Those issues are driving a big and maybe kind of unexpected political realignment — and with the midterms coming up next month, and early voting already underway in a lot of places, the stakes are pretty high right now. And as he notes, some problems are just collective action problems that require a government. We can’t solve everything one at a time, or even one state at a time.
And of course, I had to ask him: Are the Bears gonna stay in Illinois?
