Trust, Trade, and Turmoil

Columbia University agreed to some demands set by the Trump administration, restoring $400m in federal funds to the institution. University of Chicago president Paul Alivisatos says the deal is concerning, and it is indicative of a crisis of trust in higher education. Co-founder of Dreamworks Jeffrey Katzenberg is betting on Aura, a company that uses AI to protect kids and families online. Aura founder and CEO Hari Ravishandran joins Katzenberg to explain the tools parents can use to keep their children safe while respecting their privacy. Plus, Disney’s latest “Snow White” remake has hit theatres amid multiple controversies, South Korea’s Hyundai will announce a $20B investment in the U.S., the IRS might collect less tax revenue this year, and tariffs are still shaking the markets.
