Summary

AI is no longer a distant threat—it’s here, reshaping jobs, politics, and the economy. In this episode, Andrew and John Avlon discuss how AI is displacing both blue and white-collar workers, data ownership, and the urgent need for policies like a guaranteed income to address growing inequality. They also dive into AI’s influence on social media, democracy, and regulation. Will we take control of AI’s future—or let it control us?

0:06.0	podcast. We talked about AI, personal data, and much more this week on the Andrew Yang podcast.
