YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

David Plouffe is the former campaign manager for Barack Obama and a partner at strategic communications firm, Orchestra. Plouffe joins us to discuss why the American public is so negative on AI and what the tech industry can do about it. Tune in to hear his sharp analysis of how economic anxiety, distrust of tech leaders, and the shadow of social media are fueling a political backlash that could make AI the dominant issue in the 2028 presidential race. We also cover the data center fight, why the geopolitical argument for AI falls flat with voters, the parental anxiety around kids and chatbots, and why JD Vance may break from Trump on AI by early 2027. Hit play for a rare look at AI through the eyes of one of America's most experienced political strategists.
