Two hundred and fifty years ago, a new country formed with the idea that ordinary people could shape their own futures.
Now, new technology is raising questions about what control people have in making a living over the next 250 years.
Recent data shows AI isn’t currently erasing Pittsburgh’s largest job sectors.
