- This week, with news that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up Texas’ age verification law for app stores, we check in on how social media bans are going around the globe and what may be coming soon to a state near you. Then, we’re joined by Jeff Sebo, an associate professor at N.Y.U., to discuss new research into “A.I. welfare” and whether A.I. could ever become conscious. And finally, in our latest edition of Tool Time, we show each other some of the latest tech tools we’ve been experimenting with.

- We’re back with more from Hard Fork's live event in San Francisco! We sit down with Dylan Field, a founder and the chief executive of the design company Figma, for what he describes as a “roller coaster” of a conversation. We cover everything from the company’s “Design Is Dead” campaign, why writing and critical thinking skills matter more than ever, the sudden resignation of the Anthropic executive Mike Krieger from Figma’s board, and more.
One quick correction: In our interview with Field, he makes reference to the SpaceX S-1 filing and misstates what the company says their addressable market for A.I. enterprise applications is. Field says “$22.9 trillion,” but the correct number from the SpaceX filing is $22.7 trillion. The decimal point makes it look small, but it’s a difference of $200 billion.

This comes, however, against the backdrop of a growing public opinion problem for A.I. companies: graduates have booed mentions of artificial intelligence at commencements around the country, and a recent New York Times/Siena poll found that 35 percent of respondents viewed the technology as “mostly bad,” compared with just 16 percent who viewed it as “mostly good.”
After the I/O conference, Kevin Roose and Casey Newton, the hosts of "Hard Fork," sat down with Pichai to talk about Google’s place in the A.I. race, whether the usefulness of the company’s products will be enough to overcome public skepticism and what he expects for the future.
