The Washington Roundtable Live: Can D.C. Get a Grip on A.I.?
Summary
At a live taping in Madison, Wisconsin, Jane Mayer, Susan Glasser, and Evan Osnos discuss the White House press ban and the emerging political crisis surrounding artificial intelligence.

They also explore how data centers have become a bipartisan lightning rod in midterm elections, uniting unlikely allies like Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon against unchecked technological power.
