Which tech products are affected by tariffs and which have been given exemptions? Justin is here to break it down for us. Should ChatBots be made to be less human-like so people don’t assume its intelligent? Would you feel violated if your ride-hailing service recorded your conversation during the ride? And if smartphones are durable to resist breaking if dropped what’s the point of having a phone case?
Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Justin Robert Young, Roger Chang, Joe.
