This Candidacy Is a Test Case for AI Regulation

In This Episode

Why is Palantir, the former employer of congressional candidate Alex Bores, currently running attack ads against him…for working at Palantir? New York Assemblymember Alex Bores joins Offline to explain why his stance on AI has made him a target for the biggest dark money super PAC in the country. Then, he and Jon discuss what AI regulation could actually look like if we had a competent government, how to guarantee the dignity of work in an age of full automation, and weather the wealth AI creates could be effectively redistributed back to the people it replaces.
