His panel will explore how AI is reshaping the workforce—and whether its impact could revive the debate over Universal Basic Income.
The conversation will include audience Q&A and will also stream live on the 2WAY YouTube channel.
Tickets can be reserved on The Village Underground website or on 2way.tv/automation
“NEXT UP”
Yesterday on “Next Up,” I broke down what’s actually working—and what isn’t—in the U.S. conflict with Iran, and why the Strait of Hormuz remains the immediate priority.
Plus, Jonathan Freedland on how Britain misreads American politics and the case for diplomacy, and Ralph Reed on Charlie Kirk’s legacy and what it means for the elections ahead.
