8 QUESTIONS

What is going to change in the workplace with the adoption of AI?

AI is moving from being autopilot to being a co-pilot that helps us at our work. You put the human in the center, and then create this tool around them that empowers them and takes the drudgery away from work. How much time do we spend just coordinating and how much time do we spend creating-which is what gives us real joy? If we can tilt that balance towards more creativity, we will all be better off.

What are you doing to address concerns about job loss?

One of the things that I'm most excited about is how [AI] democratizes access to new skills. That will be a massive increase in total developers, because the barriers to being a software developer are going to come down.

Would you agree to any limits on use of AI for military applications?

OUR AGE OF DISTRUST

In 1624, the English poet John Donne wrote, “No man is an island entire of itself.” And yet in 2026, the Edelman Trust Barometer finds that 7 out of 10 people across 28 nations are hesitant or unwilling to trust people who have different values, approaches to societal problems, or backgrounds than they do. For most people, distrust is now the default instinct. Only one-third tell us most people can be trusted.

The most under- appreciated movies of the 21st century

WHENEVER I BROWSE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA or Letterboxd to see what movies young film lovers are discovering, I often see the usual suspects: pictures made by Hitchcock, Coppola, and Scorsese, with a smattering of classic films noir or romantic comedies thrown in.

The D.C. Brief

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP LAST year successfully wrestled control of one of the nation's dominant performing-arts stages with unheard-of efficiency. He ousted its leader, installed a loyalist at the helm, made himself the chairman of its reconstituted board, scrambled its programing calendar, alienated cultural leaders, exiled its resident opera company, declared himself the M.C. of its biggest fundraising gala, and treated it like an annex of the White House for events that cast him as the headliner.
