On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick talks with Ed Wytkind, Interim Director of the AFL-CIO Technology Institute, about Elon Musk’s claim that work will be “optional” in 20 years. Wytkind breaks down what AI and automation really mean for workers, warning that without strong labor standards and worker voice, tech could accelerate inequality rather than progress. Later, Renee Saldana, Press Secretary for SEIU-UHW, joins Rick to discuss the California Billionaire Tax Act, an effort to save the state’s healthcare system as the Trump administration slashes $1 trillion in funding.
