Andrew Yang, a prominent 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate, ran on a platform that warned about the speed with which technology like automation and AI is upending the world as we know it. His solution – rein in big tech and capitalism, introduce a universal basic income, and help the economy trickle upwards.
Yang was the first guest on our new series The Future We Want. Each episode invites a guest (futurists, thinkers, campaigners) to share their bold ideas about the steps we need to take today to create a more equitable and sustainable future.
