AI, Power, and Politics: Who’s Really in Control?
This week, we unpack the growing intersection of AI, politics, and economic shifts. With AI agents evolving into virtual coworkers, Sam Altman’s latest blog post raises urgent questions about the future of work, democracy, and power. We explore how AI is being used for government efficiency, the potential displacement of jobs, and why policymakers are struggling to keep up.
Plus, we discuss:
- The Anthropic Economic Index and how AI is already reshaping industries.
- California State University’s groundbreaking ChatGPT partnership - the largest AI rollout in education.
- Why schools and businesses must rethink AI not just as a tool, but as a teammate.
- How policymakers are responding (or failing to respond) to rapid AI advancements.
