in neuroscience from m.i.t., you're a pastor, a teacher.place. as an educator in your state, as an educator in your state, how dangerous is it when you see governor huckabee sanders and the legislature say you can't take a.p. african american studies, and you can't teach the actual history of the state? what does it do to students in the classroom? >> well, jason, great to be on the show, and to put it bluntly, it's a shame. i have spent decades in k-12 education and higher education. and to think that the students are starting the school year expecting to come into an environment where they can learn and learn how to learn, but instead getting a lesson on injustice and discrimination. you know, and it really just speaks to the fact that governor sanders is just a governor reboot, and they're actively trying to unravel the lessons that actually make us great. i'm a seventh generation arkansan. i'm a descendant of enslaved people. when i learned about the history they went through and the struggles they overcame and the contributions they ma

that study is based on your work and your time at m.i.t.. can you just talk about why a.i. we are to have as humans? >> absolutely. thank you so much for having me and highlighting the work of the algorithmic justice lead. we are looking at a.i. systems. we continue to see amplify racial bias, amplify racial binds, and also the gender bias we are seeing with black women indigenous women and as you spoke to before part of the reason and i amplifies this biases it perpetuates the bias that has already been seen so if it is more likely that a woman has been a misidentified or not as well represented in a particular data set, then the a.i. is going to make that even worse. what we are seeing is a combination of algorithmic bias. the a.i. systems work differently on different faces. also, confirmation bias. here we have a feedback loop where somebody is seeing a black person being labeled a suspect. it is than being given an indication that confirms that bias as well. >> this story of porsche woodruff in detroit, that experience a wrongful arrest. it exemplifies some of the real

on focusing on artificial intelligence, you know, starting with myself in 2015 and doing that large m.i.tgned to that with fx and a.i. at oxford, turned out to be the right calls because that's what's on everybody's mind now what i would say with a.i. is this is one of the most exciting developments of a lifetime and a.i. isn't going to just be able to write poems for somebody's birthday. it's going to be part of everyone's life. it's going to change the way organizations are run. it's going to result in explosion of discoveries in medical science and drugs. it's going to change how education is done. it could be customized and basically be done around the world. it's going to change the profitability of certain companies. and blackstone we're relying on those. i just had a meeting with the 100 largest and made it clear to everybody that this is the first move for advantage kind of technology where if we get there first with our companies, then they'll be much better positioned than somebody who shows up five years later. and what's interesting to me now, is the major companies in this fi

and some of us are very concerned, and it has been documented -- an economist at m.i.t., for example, the accession of china to the wto, we have all benefited from lower prices and we have so many of these. i'm not sure whether the last one is so valuable. but we have benefited in terms of lower prices, but the costs have been not born is equally and there are parts of our country and population that if severely borne the cost. the death of despair, they have tied that to the unequal cost of the trade. through this industrial policy, if we can right some of that by trying to be strategic and where the investments have been made, if we can bring jobs back or revitalize communities or bring those who have been left behind and benefit more from this economic activity, that may help us have a healthier economy in the sense that there may be some costs in terms of pure economic efficiency, but if we have the means in terms of equity, maybe that would help with the polarization we are having this country, helping for having a more sustainable economy going forward. these are questions -- i

andrew: i am also affiliated with an institution at m.i.t., a new center there called the center for constructive communication. it's actually trying to use a combination of technology and humans to create a healthier alternative to the kind of social media phenomenon of divisiveness and polarization. i tried to find ways for people to connect and grappling now with the role of generative ai as well. . the other thing is i'm focused back on the art of storytelling. in the television world, i would argue that atrophied because of the emphasis on live coverage. there was technology that outstripped editorial ability. to keep up the emphasis of television became immediacy instead of importance. everybody makes fun of a reporter in the dark and you can't see anything. underlying that, i would argue that before live technology came along, tv reporters had to be better writers and storytellers. i think that message is resonating with tv stations i deal with around the country where they are in a world of on-demand consumption and shareable media. the story becomes a unit of value as much o

three guys that went to m.i.t. and harvard, they had this crazy idea to make an upper stage commercially on the shuttle called the transfer orbit stage and the company was orbital sciences, which a couple of years ago was bought for $9 billion. you could argue they are one of the true pioneers of the commercial effort from a long time ago. so that was good. the bad was that i also had some contracting work with nasa, trying to figure out how to commercialize the space station, because the space station was in the early days of development. we looked at things on the shuttle, protein crystal growth -- it was bad. the cost of getting it checked space was exorbitant, the cost of operations, exorbitant. there was no business case. then scott -- back in those days, as i was going to monopolize the shadow, it was called the space transportation system. we would get rid of all expendable large vehicles. nasa said we need somebody that can actually sell it ride on the shuttle. we teamed up with rockwell. this guy walking t

it faced criticism from the likes of m.i.t. for targeting consumers in the developing world first.ple that probably feel very inclined to participate, not because they really want to participate, but because they don't have a lot of other income. let's world coin has raised more than $500 million to date. sam altman says the head is uncertain, even with all the hype. >> you can get your eyes scanned on the orbit. i think it's going to deliver real utility as we go into this brave new world. >> annabelle droulers, bloomberg news, hong kong. david: nice piece there. markets, back to that we are coming off of lows. 9/10 of 1%, 158. it looks like some are attributing the balance to a technical one. we did get going into today, we are down a couple already. you did get signs up parts of the equity market was oversold. not everyone is convinced when you look at volumes, lighter than usual, i'm giving you a number that's 25% lower than the 30 day average. you are getting spots of busyness, it's those right green pits on the pie chart you see on your screen. global macro movers, price is s
