Show Notes
Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming embedded in everything, from our workplaces to our government. But who really benefits from the world Silicon Valley is building?
In this super sized episode of Beyond Voting, host Emily Williams speaks with tech researcher and author, Jathan Sadowski about the growing power of Big Tech and the rise of what some call the “tech broligarchy.” They explore how social media captured our attention, how AI could reshape creativity and critical thinking, and why the deepening partnership between tech companies and government should concern anyone who cares about democracy.
This extended conversation connects the dots between technology, capitalism, and democracy. It also asks a critical question: who benefits from the world Silicon Valley is building?
