Kara Swisher has followed the story of Silicon Valley for three
decades, having started work as a tech journalist at a time when
few people were interested in the beat.

But through relationships she built with the likes of Steve Jobs,
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and many others, she became a
formidable voice, and eventually more of a commentator and
critic.

Swisher now hosts the podcasts Pivot and On with Kara Swisher.
Following a year in which Silicon Valley titans lined up behind
Donald Trump, she tells Mishal Husain what she thinks 2026 will
bring. Swisher unpacks fears of an artificial intelligence

after Trump may be like.
