Summary

The tech bros could be in for a rude awakening come November. We’ve seen the big names in AI increasingly cozy up with Republicans, but they may have forgotten that there is another party is poised to get back into power.

GWU Professor and Tech Policy Press contributor Dave Karpf joins David Rothkopf to consider all this and more.
