"My advice would be to President Trump, at all costs, avoid a showdown over Taiwan," says historian Niall Ferguson. "You don't want a Cuban missile crisis to happen with Taiwan as the island and you in the role of Nikita Khrushchev." Follow on Spotify: bit.ly/4mpmJ7e




"Should the United States be a country where the president has the opportunity to enrich himself by the position that he has been entrusted with by the public?" MargaretHoover asks Niall Ferguson amid concerns that Trump's family is profiting off the presidency. "No," Ferguson says.



"There's a sense in which this is turning the clock back in American economic and political history, maybe all the way back to the 1890s, to the Gilded Age." Historian Niall Ferguson assesses the start of #PresidentTrump's second term. Follow on Spotify: bit.ly/4mpmJ7e






"There's a lot AI could do to make life and work better." AI scientist Fei-Fei Li, co-founder of Stanford HAI, says artificial intelligence could lead to advances in health care, economics, government, and more.

As the U.S. and China race to advance artificial intelligence, Fei-Fei Li says building AI with "democratic values" is important. "If we're a society that believes in... dignity, agency, and liberty, then we know we need to create technology that doesn't harm these values."



"This technology is a civilizational technology," says Fei-Fei Li of artificial intelligence. "It changes every industry, it changes many aspects of life, and many people in the community and many different communities are gonna be impacted." On Spotify: bit.ly/4kzK7Nv


"It is great to be hopeful, to want to use technology for good, to come from that right place," says "godmother of AI" Fei-Fei Li. "But we need to know that any technology can harm people. And we cannot be naive about that." FULL EPISODE: bit.ly/3H3xcoH


AI scientist Fei-Fei Li explains how the "vibrancy" of the artificial intelligence industry is a product of cooperation between the government, the private sector, and academia--and why she is worried that dynamic is changing. "The university has been so drained of resources."

"This is too important to be a political topic." Fei-Fei Li, co-founder of Stanford HAI, says politicians need to "keep the technologists and the experts at the table" as regulations are being made. Follow on Apple: bit.ly/3SOuRAj


A "pragmatic" approach to AI regulation would encourage basic research, says Fei-Fei Li. "But by the time this technology is closer and closer in the hands of consumers and users and small businesses, we do need to put guardrails around it." On Apple: bit.ly/3SOuRAj
