This Machine Kills - 251. The Triforce of Corporate Power in AI (ft. Sarah Myers West)

We are very pleased to be joined by Sarah Myers West— managing director of AI Now Institute and former Senior Advisor on AI to the FTC—to discuss their excellent new report, 2023 Landscape: Confronting Tech Power.
