“Weapons of Mass Disruption” with NYT’s Tom Friedman 5/8/26
About this episode
Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Tom Friedman discusses the geopolitics at play in the AI revolution, including President Trump’s upcoming meeting with President Xi. Friedman is calling for collaboration–even an arms deal, of sorts–between the two nations on the topic of artificial intelligence. Plus, CNBC’s Dan Murphy is in Dubai reporting on the war in Iran, and Anthropic could be nearing a valuation larger than OpenAI’s.
