Jon Stewart Reveals Apple's Interference with AI Talk Show Interview

Jon Stewart revealed that Apple prevented him from featuring Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan on his show and discussing artificial intelligence, leading to the cancellation of The Problem with Jon Stewart. Stewart criticized AI's impact on job loss and Big Tech's monopolistic power, particularly Apple, Facebook, and Google. He also questioned the retraining narrative around AI, drawing parallels to the failed promises made during the decline of the coal industry. Additionally, Stewart and Khan discussed the dangers of concentrated power in tech companies and the externalization of accountability through algorithms. Apple's extensive acquisition of AI startups and its upcoming AI announcement at the Worldwide Developers Conference were also highlighted, amidst the company facing a historic antitrust lawsuit from the Department of Justice.
