The Aftershock: Tech’s Reaction to a Blue Wave 11/5/26

After the Democrats flipped both the House and the Senate, The Information CEO and founder Jessica Lessin discusses tech’s allegiances across different administrations, including how Silicon Valley’s politics may swing with power shifts on Capitol Hill. AI pioneer Kai-Fu Lee, former lead at Google China and at Microsoft China, has penned a new book on leadership: “AI Native.” Most CEOs, he says, are going about the AI revolution all wrong. Lee also believes there’s room for China and the U.S. to win the AI race. Plus, OpenAI has pledged to solicit community input in its data center development in a new series of commitments published today.
