In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were delighted to welcome back Katie Harbath to the podcast. Katie graduated from the UW-Madison School of Journalism with a Political Science major as well in 2003. After graduating, Katie’s impressive career trajectory took her to high level politics and to Facebook where she served as the Public Policy Director for ten years. Katie is now Chief Global Affairs Office at Duco Experts and the founder and CEO of her own DC-based company, Anchor Change. With major concerns about whether Americans trust the electoral process amidst a historical presidential campaign season and controversy over proposals aimed at regulating big tech, we were grateful that Katie was willing to spend a little time with us to talk about big tech, AI, and the future of democracy in the United States. We learned so much and hope you will too.
