Fund Drive Special: Artificial Intelligence, the Media, and the Billionaire Class
About this episode
Rob Larson discusses the influence of the billionaire class on media and politics, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence and press freedom.
If it weren’t obvious before, the Trump administration has exposed the enormous power, as well as astounding wealth, of the billionaire class. And the power of that class partially emanates from their ownership of much of our media system, with significant political consequences. Economist Rob Larson discusses the 1%, AI and the massive build out of data centers, and the decline of press freedom in the U.S. Please donate in support of KPFA and Against the Grain.
