kurt wagner, thank you so much coming to us from denver.'s talk more about potential threats and benefits, the way in which ai technologies might solve and a role across the year of mobile election cycles. christopher ahlberg is with us, he is ceo of recorded future. let's dwell on what we were hearing from kurt, the fact there is some optimism that everyone is focused on it, so we won't be able to have this level of misinformation and deepfakes we are worried about. do you agree? christopher: yeah, no. first of all, i love optimism. second, the amazing thing is we are actually sort of able to collect all of this data, and we can organize it, we can analyze it, and look for what is anomalous, the stuff that doesn't stand out. i think it is fair to say that the big things, somebody does that deepfake, whether it is joe biden or trump, we are going to be able to find that. you may not even need an algorithm. i worry about the subtle stuff. when somebody in ohio somewhere that is the placed -- the place that is going to make a difference wheth

speaking to kurt wagner for more on this. the context being he is the first u.s.ist to do a significant sit down since war erected in 2022. and notably putin has fought back against critical journalism in particular and in fact has a key wall street journal reporter incarcerated at the moment. give us the context of what this makes advertisers feel like? >> a lot of advertisers would be very reluctant to see their brand show up anywhere near this interview. i also think a lot of advertisers are probably no longer on ask. i think a lot of the people who are still spending money on have a thick skin when it comes to what they expect or imagine that their marketing is going to appear next to. i'm not sure we are necessarily going to see a new wave of people rushing in the other direction because a lot of those people are already gone. this speaks to the ultimate game we've been told from elon musk is for freedom of speech. and all its entireties. so tell us about how ultimately the deal is with the likes of tucker carlson are going getting on people who attract a big

all that and so much more is unpacked in "atul for the bird," a book by bloomberg's on kurt wagner whooins us now. what can i say, i had the privilege of living this alongside you, and they want our global audience to relive that story through your book. summarize detail that you hope to tell. >> you did, we were in the trenches together on that one. i think of this book as two parts. part one was twitter 1.0, the jack dorsey years. it wasn't necessarily smooth sailing before elon musk showed up. part two is the elon musk experiment that we've seen the last 18 months or so. what i've tried to focus on was really this handoff between these two people. it wasn't an accident that this deal got done, it was something jack dorsey was pushing for behind the scenes. elon musk was someone he admired and thought was going to be a good steward for this company moving forward and as you pointed out, i think he kind of has acknowledged it didn't go the way he had it would. ed: when you were in the reporting phase, what was the thing about twitter's original history for the takeover by elon musk th
