Summary

AI is often presented as a danger to democratic societies by undermining trust in institutions and government. But can the reverse also be true? The Canadian Senate passed the “Online News Act” Thursday, sending it for royal assent to become law. What are the repercussions for Google and Meta and how will Canadians actually benefit? And we go over the latest revelations from the FTC’s attempt to block Microsoft from closing its deal to acquire Activision Blizzard.

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Owen JJ Stone, Len Peralta, Roger Chang, Joe.
