AI isn’t just a software story — it’s a power, water, and local sovereignty story that could reshape everyday life.

Listeners will come away with a clearer view of the economic inequality, infrastructure, misinformation, and defense-policy stakes behind the AI boom — plus why schools, jobs, and human connection may be changing along the way.
