5:01Now PlayingA Letter From 1914 Saw AI Coming
A woman sat at her kitchen table in Detroit in 1914 and wrote a letter to Henry Ford.
She wasn't asking for more money.
She wasn't demanding that the assembly line be shut down.
She was asking a question every generation eventually has to answer:
What do we owe the people standing beside the machine?
Today, the machine isn't an assembly line.
It's artificial intelligence.
The technology has changed.
The constitutional question hasn't.
In today's Opening Argument, we explore a remarkable letter from the wife of a Ford assembly-line worker and what it teaches us about AI, concentrated power, working people, and the responsibility of American citizenship.
Because before we decide who should own the machine...
We should decide what kind of citizens we intend to be beside it.
