## Resource

“It’s a mistake to wipe out a whole skill set based on the ability of one AI tool that you have as a subscription.” Tech Journalist Natasha Bernal joins The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound to talk about how AI is deepening wage inequality, how that divide is playing out on graduates and the instability of rebuilding a business around an AI subscription.
