DC’s “Light Touch” on AI, Gen Z’s Good Vibes, and Autoworkers’ Bitter Battle of Words 9/14/23

Tech CEOs traveled to Washington, D.C. for a one-of-a-kind closed-door meeting with Senators on the rising regulatory implications of artificial intelligence. One of the lawmakers who organized the session, Sen. Todd Young (R-IN), argues that there is an “appropriate” role for government in determining the future of AI. The death of hope for Generation Z is greatly exaggerated, says NYU Stern School of Business Professor Suzy Welch, breaking out new data from Gallup. She asserts that the young Americans entering the workforce, or about to, are more optimistic than the olds think. Plus, what the looming auto worker strike tells us about the economy and how working Americans feel. The Delta Sky Club just got harder to get past the gatekeeper, and Arby’s has the meats! Or, does it?
