AI & Antitrust: Trump Warned Over Tech Billionaires & Monopolies | Jonathan Kanter

Former Assistant Deputy Attorney General for Antitrust, Jonathan Kanter, joins the show to deliver a dire warning about the unchecked power of Big Tech, the future of AI, and the collapse of antitrust enforcement.

Kanter draws historical parallels between the current entanglement of tech oligarchs (OpenAI, Microsoft, Nvidia, Google) and the robber barons of the past, explaining how their massive, intertwined investments create a dangerous web of control. He argues that the government is asleep at the switch, noting that decisive action against monopolies is urgently needed to protect the average American.

In this video, learn about:

The Wild West of AI: Why current federal gridlock means we have "no stop signs, no lines on the road" for powerful technology.

Political Handouts: Kanter's view on legislation that limits states' ability to regulate AI, which he calls a handout to Big Tech.

Algorithmic Manipulation: How AI and social media algorithms are conditioning users, fueling radicalization, and eroding social trust.

Erosion of the American Dream: Why the trend toward "bigness" is destroying opportunity for small businesses and creating anger and division.

The Path Forward: The need to rebuild government agencies with the expertise to investigate algorithms and set limits for the health and safety of children.
