JB Pritzker thinks AI could help us live to 100 — or threaten us like nukes

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker joins Decoder to discuss the dual potential of artificial intelligence — from dramatically extending human lifespan to posing an existential threat comparable to nuclear weapons. He argues that AI, technology, and privacy are driving a major political realignment ahead of the midterms, and that some problems are collective action challenges requiring government intervention rather than individual or state-by-state solutions. Pritzker also highlights his state’s recent AI policy moves.
