As Host of The Circuit with Emily Chang, she goes behind the scenes with the world’s most fascinating founders, innovators, and changemakers. In its first season, the show examined the future of social media and Elon Musk’s Twitter reign and scored inside interviews with the makers of ChatGPT which focused on the promise and perils of artificial intelligence.
