Governors Talk Affordability; AI Complicates Dating

Governors from Oklahoma, Maryland and Delaware say states remain the nation's laboratories of democracy, sharing policy ideas on housing, education, child care and energy while arguing that affordability is the top concern for voters across party lines. They say states cannot control inflation or global energy prices but can lower costs through housing supply, consumer protections, child care investments and policies that encourage economic growth while managing the impact of AI and data centers.

Also this weekend, AI is dividing people not just over what the technology can do, but what kind of future they want to live in. A survey of 3,500 young people in the US conducted by dating app Hily found 64% of Gen Z and 56% of millennial daters said they wouldn’t date someone who relies on AI for everyday decisions.

On today’s show, Bloomberg This Weekend hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini speak with:

- Heads of the National Governors Association - Governors Spencer Cox (R-Utah), Wes Moore (D-Maryland), Kevin Stitt (R-Oklahoma), and Matt Meyer (D-Delaware) - on the relationship between state and federal leaders.

- Bloomberg News Contributor Josie Cox, on how AI is complicating relationships at work and home.

- Bloomberg Pursuits Global Luxury Editor Chris Rovzar, on whether it's acceptable to wear shorts to the office.

Plus, Christina, David, and Nathan Hager discuss the stories you might have missed this week on BTW.
