Send us Fan MailAndrew Palmer is a long-time editor and columnist at The Economist, where he writes the widely read Bartleby column on work and life. He also hosts Boss Class, one of The Economist's most popular podcasts, whose most recent season explored generative AI in the workplace, a topic Andrew approached not just as a journalist, but as a self-described unsophisticated user determined to get smarter by doing.In this episode, Andrew draws on his reporting and interviews with leaders across industries to offer an outside-in view of where AI adoption actually stands, and why the gap between the hype and the reality is not a sign of failure, but of how complex change really is.In this conversation, we discuss:Why AI adoption faces three distinct barriers (behavioral, technical, and organizational) and why solving one without the others leaves productivity gains stranded.Why structural reskilling frameworks (like Denmark's flexicurity model and Singapore's voucher-based lifelong learning system) offer a more credible response to AI disruption than waiting for policy to catch up.Why Johnson & Johnson's "let a thousand flowers bloom" approach to AI experimentation produced a Pareto effect (15% of projects generating 85% of value) and what they changed as a result.How the AI productivity boom is real at the individual level but not yet showing up in aggregate data, and why Andrew believes that gap is a question of time, not technology.Why enlightened corporate leadership requires transparency about potential job disruption and a commitment to adjacent career planning rather than performative optimism.What work in 2036 might look like, and why Andrew's most unsettling prediction has nothing to do with jobs, and everything to do with privacy.Explore this conversation:00:00 Introduction to AI and the Future of Work episode 39101:14 AI fun fact: AI legislative speed versus technological advancement03:51 Meet Andrew Palmer The Economist Bartleby Column Boss Class06:14 Digital Doppelganger and AI Personality Traits07:57 AI Adoption Barriers Behavioral Technical and Organizational11:01 AI Impact at Work Startups vs Large Organizations14:15 Leadership Humility and AI Uncertainty in the Workplace17:41 AI Experimentation at Scale Lessons from Johnson and Johnson24:26 AI vs SaaS Productivity Data and the Speed of Adoption27:35 Balancing AI Automation with Human Meaning at Work31:26 AI Policy Reskilling and Lifelong Learning for the Future36:03 Work in 2036 AI Monitoring Privacy and Constant Surveillance38:47 Who Really Controls AI and What That Means for Workers44:08 Connect with Andrew Palmer and Boss Class The EconomistResources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Andrew on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn How Arvind Jain Is Shaping the Future of Enterprise Search Another episode mentioned in the interview: How we can take back control from Big Tech with Tom Wheeler, former FCC Chairman, CEO, VC, and author of Techlash.

The Iran War is not very popular with Americans – and the Trump Administration seems to think it knows why: the media is being too mean about the President's war of choice. On Saturday, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr reposted a Trump Truth Social screed against The New York Times and Wall Street Journal on Twitter — adding, “The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.” Carr has real power in his role as FCC Chairman – power he wants to use on behalf of President Trump. So to talk more about the FCC under Brendan Carr, we spoke with Matt Gertz. He's a senior fellow at the progressive media watchdog, Media Matters.And in headlines, the gloves came off during Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing, the government's top intelligence officials testify about worldwide threats before the Senate, and The New York Times publishes a multiyear investigation revealing labor activist Cesar Chavez's sexual abuse of women and girls.Show Notes: Check out Matt's work – www.mediamatters.org/author/matt-gertz Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Today on America in the Morning Trump Wants Help Reopening The Strait As gas prices around the world continue to rise due to the U.S. led war with Iran, President Trump is urging allies, and a main adversary, to help secure a highly used oil shipping waterway off Iran's coast.  John Stolnis has more from Washington. Severe Weather In America Snow measured in feet in the Upper Midwest, severe rain and bad weather for the South and Midwest, excessive heat in the West, and record rainfall for Hawaii that has caused flooding and power outages for over 100 thousand people is wreaking havoc for a majority of the states.  Correspondent Julie Walker says from Florida to Minnesota, the East Coast and over to the Hawaiian Islands, mid-March is roaring in like a lion with more bad weather today.   Latest On Michigan Synagogue Attack The Israeli government is claiming they have evidence that the brother of the man who carried out Thursday's attack on a synagogue in the Detroit suburb of West Bloomfield Township, Michigan was a Hezbollah unit commander responsible for launching hundreds of rockets into Israel who was killed in Israeli airstrikes against the terror group in Lebanon days earlier.  The latest from correspondent Ed Donahue.   FCC Chair On War Coverage There's bipartisan pushback to a comment made over the weekend by the FCC Chairman regarding media coverage of the war in Iran.  Correspondent Clayton Neville reports.   Gun Seller Charged In ODU Attack In Virginia, the government is bringing criminal charges against the man who sold the Old Dominion University shooter a gun.  Lisa Dwyer reports.   Iran On The Sunday Shows In the Middle East, nations are responding with caution after President Trump called on countries including China, France, the UK and South Korea to join an effort to help protect ships traversing the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran effectively shut down due to attacks.  The topic of the war with Iran and the shutdown of shipping was heavily discussed on the Sunday TV talk shows.  Correspondent Clayton Neville reports.   US-Cuba Talks There were protests in Cuba including the torching of Communist Party headquarters in the central part of the island nation over rolling blackouts and a lack of fuel due to the US effectively cutting off oil supplies.  Correspondent Cristiana Mesquita reports.   Powell Subpoenas Blocked The Department of Justice plans to appeal a judge's decision to block subpoenas issued to the Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell involving a criminal investigation that the DOJ claims has what it alleges as a mountain of evidence.  Correspondent Ed Donahue reports.   Talking About Higher Prices President Trump's Energy Secretary took to the Sunday talk shows to discuss the rapidly increasing price at the gas pump, but as Sue Aller reports, the answer from the Trump administration is that gas prices will remain higher, but not for the long term. Pain At The Pump Gas prices continue to soar by the day across the nation.  At one Chevron gas station in the Chinatown section of Los Angeles, regular unleaded priced out at $7-61-a-gallon, nearly $3 more than the city average, and about $2 more than the Golden State statewide average.  Finally   The Oscars took center stage in Los Angeles with a showdown between Sinners and One Battle After Another.  With a Hollywood recap, here's entertainment reporter Kevin Carr.    Learn more about your ad choices.

In hour 1 of The Mark Reardon Show, Mark reacts to ABC ending Jimmy Kimmel's suspension after only a few days. Mark is then joined by J. Peder Zane, an Editor at Real Clear Investigations and a Columnist for Real Clear Politics. He discusses his latest piece which is titled, "Fear, Dread and How America Got to This Point". He's later joined by Missouri Congressman Bob Onder. Congressman Onder discusses several topics including the potential for a government shutdown if the Senate does not approve a Continuing Resolution, his reaction to the Memorial for Charlie Kirk, Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar and other radical leftist politicians comments on Kirk and more.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- According to reports, ABC/Disney has indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel's comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network's move appears to be a result of Kimmel's comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel's vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many have expressed concern that Carr's warning amounts to a First Amendment violation. Republicans must be consistent defenders of free speech. 3:15pm- Following ABC/Disney's decision to end Kimmel's show, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr went on television expressing joy over the announcement. Carr told MSNBC: “We're on a cable show right now. You don't have an FCC license and an obligation to serve the public interest. Podcasts don't either...Kimmel is free to do that—but if you have a broadcast TV license...it comes with an obligation to serve the public interest.” Rich points out that Carr's comments aren't helpful and allow Democrats to claim Kimmel is a victim of government-led censorship. 3:50pm- Callers weigh in on comments from the FCC Chairman and ABC/Disney's decision to end Jimmy Kimmel's show. Is the Trump Administration making a massive mistake getting involved in Kimmel's termination? Most seem to agree, this is problematic.

Is the Trump Administration making a massive mistake getting involved in Kimmel's termination? Most seem to agree, this is problematic. 4:05pm- While appearing on Fox News, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr stated: "We at the FCC will enforce the public interest obligation. If there are broadcasters that do not like it, they can turn their license into the FCC." 4:15pm- Why does Matt's microphone sound so bad today? He reveals that he's working from a beach in Cape Cod…Justin says this is further proof that Matt is an Ivy League weirdo/elitist. 4:20pm- Fox News host Laura Ingraham stated that Carr should have stayed off television and allowed the market to determine whether Kimmel retained his show. Rich says her take is 100% correct: keep the government out of it! 4:30pm- During the Biden Administration, Democrats and media members called for widespread censorship of opinions they didn't like—suggesting those takes amounted to “dangerous misinformation.” Republicans should not be adopting a similar stance just because they're in power right now. 4:40pm- Why is FCC Chairman Brendan Carr constantly making television appearances and taking credit for Kimmel's cancellation? He's not doing the Trump Administration any favors. Does he have an interest in running for office? Because he seems to be prioritizing his own self interests. Rich says: “this guy has got to go.” 5:05pm- Rich receives a gift from Jack Carr! 5:10pm- On Monday, October 13th at 7:30pm—Rich will host New York Times best-selling author Jack Carr at the Zlock Performing Arts Center (at Bucks County Community College) in Newtown, PA. They'll sit down for an engaging discussion about Jack's latest thriller, Cry Havoc—the newest installment in his acclaimed James Reece series.

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid focuses on the indefinite suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel following comments about Charlie Kirk, deemed offensive by Nexstar Media Group. The FCC Chairman suggested possible punitive measures, prompting Disney, owner of ABC, to pull Kimmel's show. This incident draws comparisons to CBS's cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show. Sid also covers President Trump's comments about labeling Antifa as a domestic terror organization and bringing legal action against agitators. Additionally, Rosenberg delves into the New York City mayoral race, with endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from top Democratic leaders and his campaign priorities like universal childcare. Mayor Eric Adams criticizes Mamdani's supporters for their negative rhetoric, linking it to recent political violence.

//The Wire//2300Z September 18, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TRUMP STATES INTENT TO CLASSIFY ANTIFA AS TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. CHICAGO MAYOR LAMENTS IMPENDING NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Illinois: Statements by local mayor Brandon Johnson have continued to escalate as the National Guard deployment to Chicago draws near. Johnson stated that “Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities”, and that he intends to "eradicate" this "sickness".Analyst Comment: It is often a hard sell to convince the public that putting violent criminals in prison is against the best interests of the taxpayer, but Johnson continues to make that argument nonetheless. Right now there is no real confirmation of how the National Guard QRF is to be deployed around the city, though city and state opposition has been high.California: Following yesterday's statements by the FCC Chairman, the ABC network has pulled the Jimmy Kimmel show from it's timeslot indefinitely.Analyst Comment: The network does not care about the crass statements that were made, as it encouraged this behavior for many years. However, getting their license yanked at a time where their ratings are already down would not have been a positive outcome for them.Washington D.C. - Yesterday evening President Trump stated his intent to designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization on social media.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Beyond President Trump's short post on social media, no details have been provided on this designation yet, or how it's going to work out paperwork-wise. ANTIFA certainly has foreign roots, but in most cases is not explicitly foreign-controlled, so a designation by the State Department as being an FTO might not be an adequate fit. Nevertheless, if the intent is to create a label that ensures more federal charges can be pursued against militants (instead of the catch-and-release that ANTIFA is used to), there are plenty of options. The White House is probably also looking at RICO options regarding the bail-fund practices for ANTIFA members, which have industrialized the process of rotating through the court system.More directly, ANTIFA activities are certain to increase due to this designation, whatever it works out to be. Low-level demonstrations are certain to take place in the usual areas, and more kinetic "Direct Action" attacks are also quite likely to spring up, though larger efforts may take some time to organize. Either way, ANTIFA can certainly mobilize faster than government forces can respond in most cases, though the biggest barriers to ANTIFA operations right now are funding and a lack of coherent picture at higher levels of organization. For many years, ANTIFA has had no natural predators in their environment, and has been allowed to conduct all manner of activities without any sort of barriers at all. Designating this group as a terrorist organization also isn't really necessary; almost all ANTIFA publications directly state that they seek to use violence to further their political goals...which is the textbook definition of terrorism. Where a federal "terrorism" label (however it works out) can be applied, is in cases where local prosecutors won't prosecute terrorist attacks, or more importantly, in the dismantling of the financial networks which have openly been operating under shady LLCs and nonprofit groups, which have acted as shell corporations for ANTIFA funding sources. This still requires federal agencies and prosecutors to *actually prosecute* under the current laws that exist, which is still a bridge too far in most jurisdictions.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Brendan Carr's career in telecommunications policy spans over a decade. He began his legal career as a clerk for Judge Dennis W. Shedd of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Later, he worked as an attorney at Wiley Rein LLP, focusing on appellate, litigation, and telecom practices. In 2012, Carr joined the FCC as a staffer, working on spectrum policy and competition matters. He then served as the lead advisor to FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai on wireless, public safety, and international issues. Carr was later appointed as the FCC's General Counsel, representing the agency in court and serving as its chief legal advisor. In 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Carr to serve as an FCC Commissioner, and he was confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate on August 3, 2017. He was sworn into office on August 11, 2017. In January 2025, Carr was elevated to the position of FCC Chairman by President Trump during his second term.

Tom Wheeler served as the 31st Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission after being appointed to the role by President Obama in November 2013. His chairmanship has been described as “The most productive Commission in the history of the agency.”Prior to that, he was a venture capitalist and, among other roles, the CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) where we first met in 2001. He is the only person to be elected to both the Cable Television Hall of Fame and the Wireless Hall of Fame, which led President Obama to proclaim him “the Bo Jackson of telecom.” Additionally, Tom is an award-winning author, a sought after speaker about topics ranging from leadership to net neutrality, and a visiting fellow at The Brookings Institution.Listen and learn:Why today's Digital Age is reminiscent of the early 20th century Gilded AgeHow owners of today's digital pathways make rules that govern privacy and safetyWhat does history teach us about how can we take back control of our data from Big TechHow to make capitalism work for everyoneWhy AI is triggering an awareness of the impact of Big Tech on our livesWhat's different about regulatory models in the digital eraWhy we need a new agile, digital-first agency to regulate Big TechHow to regulate Big Tech without stifling innovationReferences in this episode:Mark McCrindle on AI and the Future of WorkPew Research: 68% of US adults don't trust Big Tech to self-regulateTechlash: Who Makes the Rules in the Digital Gilded AgeScientific Management by Frederick TaylorWhich tasks is AI being used to do at work today?

Free speech in the First Amendment protects us from government censorship but not private censorship.  This means the government cannot censor your speech but a private entity such as a newspaper does not have an obligation to publish your speech. Continuing this analogy, are social media companies more like a newspaper where they can pick and choose which speech to publish or more like a telephone company where they allow all speech regardless of content to use their infrastructure?  What happens when the government wants to stifle otherwise free speech, but doesn't have the grounds to do so?  We've seen a troubling trend of the government pressuring social companies to censor speech.  Joining our all-star student panel to discuss this trend, we are excited to welcome Brad Smith, Professor of Law at Capital University, former FCC Chairman and founder and Chairman of the Institute for Free Speech for this informative discussion.

The evolution of Networks has been characterized by periodic technological revolutions that result in accelerated dispersion of information and new ideas. By examining these moments and the conditions that caused them we can learn new things about the nature of networks.Tom Wheeler is a visiting fellow at the Brookings Center and also an author. He has an upcoming book called Techlash: Who Makes the Rules in the New Gilded age. His previous book is called From Gutenberg to Google: The History of Our Future, and he is also the author of Mr. Lincoln's T-Mails: The Untold Story of How Abraham Lincoln Used the Telegraph to Win the Civil War. Tom is also the former FCC Chairman appointed by President Barack Obama. Tom and Greg discuss what constitutes a network, and what Tom would surprisingly classify as the first high-speed network. Tom relays the history of telegraphy, and the debt the telegraph owes to the printing press. Tom explains where some companies made huge blunders, passing on the chance to control important networks and the nefarious ways in which some ‘inventors' actually came to be remembered for the inventions of others.Episode Quotes:What can we learn from the previous revolutions?50:04: Napoleon used to tell his generals: “Study the campaigns of the past.” It wasn't so that you will do the same thing. It was that, so you internalize those experiences. So when your leadership moment comes, you can say, "Aha, I've got an approach," and I think that's what's lacking right now in our discussion of what has been created by this third network revolution.51:54: What fascinates me about military history is the leadership moment. When you have a clear-cut decision, you have clear-cut winners and losers, and it happens in the public eye, so you can learn from it.How can regulators stay ahead and maintain environments that allow continuous disruptions?43:53: Regulators need to get their heads out of the cockpit. And the trap that you fall into that is easy to fall into is to rely on the incumbents and those that they fund, because the current technique is that the incumbents fund "independent groups" to keep feeding information into the regulators, the public media, and Congress. And you've got to get your head out of the cockpit and have an understanding of what's going on, or at least be seeking what's going on.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Charles MinotGeorge B.

Why did American internet infrastructure shine throughout the pandemic compared to foreign networks? How might the executive branch best implement the massive sums of money going toward rural broadband expansion across the myriad agencies that touch it? What does leadership in broadband require moving forward? All of these questions and more are discussed with none other than the former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) itself— https://www.aei.org/profile/ajit-pai/ (Ajit Pai).

A discussion with FCC Chairman Ajit Pai on the role of the FCC in expanding healthcare access via Telemedicine, the impact on privacy, cybersecurity and net neutrality.

On May 9th, 1961, a still-celebrated speech rocked the world of broadcast television. In it, FCC Chairman Newton Minow zeroed in on television's vapid programming landscape, and the words "vast wasteland" became a contemporary catchphrase. More from WNYC's Sara Fishko in this edition of Fishko Files.  Newton Minow told broadcasters that they might lose their licenses if they didn't improve the content of their television. Hollywood producer Sherwood Schwartz felt that Minow was interfering with broadcasters. To rib Minow, Schwartz named the ill-fated boat on his show, Gilligan's Island, the S.S. Minnow. Minow and Public Television Newton Minow played a major role in the creation of Public Television in the United States. Channel 13 in New York began in the 1940s as a Commercial Television station with a cultural bent. After going through several owners, Channel 13 was put on the market in 1961. Minow and a number of interested broadcasting colleagues got together to help Channel 13 make the transition from a Commercial Television station to a Public Television station.  One day I read in the paper that Channel 13 was being sold. And there was a group of people in New York --  particularly led by some of the foundations --  that were trying to buy it and make it into an educational station. And I decided then and there that we were going to help them, and then we did. And Channel 13 became an educational station. And we did the same thing in Los Angeles, the same thing in Washington. And without those three we would never have had a national system. My main goal was to expand choice. To let the viewer have a wider range of programming. And that’s why we created, really, public television. By expanding choice it seemed to me that was the best role for the government.   Channel 13’s first day as a Public Television station was September 16, 1962. Edward R. Murrow introduced the first broadcast. Mike Dann – then a programming executive at CBS -- remembers Minow’s role in Public Television. I think he was a great advocate of it. And made broadcasters and the public conscious of the difference between PBS and the broadcast networks. There was a sense of dignity. We didn’t have public broadcasting practically at all at the start. There was none. It wasn’t until a number of us banded together and helped start channel 13 in New York. I think he helped make public broadcasting more important.  Jack Gould Newton Minow cited Jack Gould as a major influence: "At the time [of the FCC appointment] I had been deeply influenced by a television critic named Jack Gould, who was the television critic for the New York Times. He was writing very often about the failure, as he perceived it, of the FCC to uphold the public interest in regulating broadcasting. And I went to the FCC with his message very much in my mind." From 1948 to 1972, Jack Gould was the head television reporter and critic for the New York Times. Gould’s columns were devoured by television executives. And because he worked with the Times as television critic for so long – from TV’s beginnings to its installation as a cultural mainstay -- even these selected article titles show the progression of the medium, in just his first few years on the job (Excerpted from Watching Television Come of Age, by Jack Gould). “Matter of Form: Television Must Develop Own Techniques If It Is To Have Artistic Vitality, October 31, 1948” “Edward R. Murrow’s News Review ‘See It Now’ Demonstrates Journalistic Power of Video, November 19, 1951” “Celebrity Time: Murrow Puts Camera into Their Homes in ‘Person to Person,’ October 7, 1953” “Man on the Street: The Public Often Can Outshine TV Stars, August 14, 1955” For more from the people heard in this episode of Fishko Files… Newton Minow is a lawyer living in Chicago. He writes often – his most recent article, on the 50th anniversary of his speech, appeared in The Atlantic. Mike Dann’s book about his years in television, As I Saw It: The Inside Story of the Golden Years of Television, is available here. Thomas Doherty is a professor of American studies at Brandeis University. One of his books is Cold War, Cool Medium: Television, McCarthyism, and American Culture. Mary Ann Watson wrote The Expanding Vista: American Television in the Kennedy Years. This is the final edition of Fishko Files at WNYC. The episodes will live online and in the WNYC archives.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai joins Harold Furchtgott-Roth for a speech on the role of economic analysis at the FCC.

Ajit Pai, the new chairman of the FCC, doesn't like the net neutrality rules enforced by the agency President Trump named him to lead. He voted against them as a commissioner in 2015, and in a speech after Trump's election said their days arenumbered. But until this week, Pai hasn't explainedhow he would go about reversing the rules.
