Oprah Winfrey is taking her signature interview style to the world of AI and 
bringing some of the biggest names in tech and policy with her for a new TV 
special. 

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Bill Gates, former CEO of Microsoft, FBI Director 
Christopher Wray, and more are all set to appear to discuss and demonstrate 
AI with Winfrey. AI and the Future of Us will air on ABC on September 12 at 8 
p.m. ET and stream on Hulu the following day. Winfreys special is designed to 
demystify AI and explore how it will affect our lives. 

Altman will explain the fundamentals of AI. Then, Gates will extend that to 
the changes AI may bring to education, healthcare, and other sectors, and 
Wray will touch on what AI means for law enforcement and national security.

technologist Marques Brownlee ( MKBHD ) will showcase existing products with

mainstream. How she presents AI may influence a lot of people as they develop 
their own opinions on AI. By dedicating a primetime slot to this topic, ABC 
and Winfrey are acknowledging AIs growing significance and the need for
