Yuval Levin ranks AI among the most important political questions facing the country, one with “no left and right.” Just last week, the midterms saw voters push back against artificial intelligence in a series of referenda—but the question of its place in American life is far from settled. Today, Levin joins School of War to discuss what he learned during a recent visit to Anthropic, how the debate over AI defies traditional left-right political divisions, and how the technology threatens the development of the next generation of American leaders, including within the military.
