What Next: TBD | Tech, power, and the future
Technology
While the What Next: TBD team spends some time with their families during the holidays, we revisit some of 2023’s biggest, strangest, and best stories. Regularly scheduled programming resumes in January.

Guests:
Meredith Whittaker, president of the Signal Foundation, co-founder of the AI Now Institute at NYU
