Notes de l’épisode
As an electoral issue during the midterms, artificial intelligence was tied up with money in politics, with industry and government in cahoots, and with data centers feeling forced into communities.

Guest: Rob Flaherty, political strategist and founder of Tomorrow Together, a tech-focused political action committee.
