We are honored to be joined by Congressman Ro Khanna, Democrat of California and the representative for many living in Silicon Valley.

At a time when the intersection of regulation and tech is the topic of discussion on many fronts, we got to have a wide ranging discussion with the Congressman on how he thinks of tech regulation, his thoughts on AI, how tech’s relationship with DC changed over the years.

This was a true delight and perhaps one of the best interviews we have done on this show.
