She also shares her thoughts on how AI is impacting the labor market, and the solution we need for those who lose their jobs due to the technology. Then, Bradley Tusk returns to the show to discuss Mark Zuckerberg’s AI manifesto and the $1 billion “Future Is For Everyone” fund. Finally, Ed asks the audience a question: what is democratic socialism, really?
