Lawmakers in Washington continue to debate the spending bill and infrastructure plan. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discusses gridlock on the Hill, the Build Back Better Plan, and President Biden’s plans for a fairer tax system. Former Google CEO and Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt discusses his projections for an AI-enabled future in his new book, “The Age of AI and our Human Future.” Schmidt weighs in on Facebook’s Meta rebranding and the digital world’s impact on human society. Tesla’s deal with Hertz isn’t quite sealed yet, Elon Musk is recalling over 12,000 vehicles, and Amazon-backed electric vehicle company Rivian is seeking a market valuation of nearly $55 billion in its upcoming IPO.
