Big Tech’s big influence on the Trump Administration, plus AI regulation
Update: 2025-01-29
Description
This hour, we examine the intersection of big tech and politics.
AI is growing rapidly and lawmakers in Connecticut and beyond are attempting to regulate the harmful impacts of artificial intelligence without stymieing innovation.
Meanwhile, billionaire CEOs were front and center at the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Tesla Motors CEO and X executive chairman, Elon Musk, even has a role in President Trump’s administration. Will this relationship impact the government’s ability to keep big tech’s power in check?
