Description

Brown University’s president, Christina Paxson, is stepping down after 15 years, leaving behind a legacy of transforming the school’s endowment to $8 billion and launching major campus expansions — all while drawing criticism for prioritizing Wall Street ties over local engagement. Meanwhile, Newport is rolling out a $375K drone program to boost emergency response, raising eyebrows about surveillance. The episode also dives into AI’s growing influence on creativity and human connection, the looming threat of cyberattacks on data centers, and the urgent need for media outlets to uphold truth in an age of political pressure and profit-driven reporting.
