Stanford University professor Jim Steyer leads a lively discussion on the influence of big tech on democracy and America's youth. As founder of Common Sense Media, Steyer moderates a debate that features prominent tech journalist Kara Swisher, Pinterest CEO Bill Ready and Zoom Communications CEO Eric Yuan. They explore the consolidation of power in major tech companies, the role of artificial intelligence, and implications for our kids. What are the potential benefits and dangers of AI technologies?
