“Digital machines are not just remaking stories, they're remaking
us.” So says Oscar-winning actor Robert Downey Jr. as the titular
character in his Broadway debut, MCNEAL. Kara talks with Downey
Jr., Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar and Tony-winning
director Bartlett Sher about the play and the thorny questions it
raises around truth, lies and power in the AI age. They also
discuss who is responsible for creating a new “social contract”
around AI. Plus: Kara and Robert get into the Marvel Cinematic
Universe and whether Downey is more like Elon Musk as Tony Stark
aka Iron Man or in his upcoming role as Dr. Doom. Questions?
