	Description:		Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. The following is a sample of the Munk Debates’ weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus. On this week’s edition of the Friday Focus podcast, Janice and Rudyard start the show with a discussion of what Henry Kissinger thinks about the world as he marks his 100th birthday. Are Kissinger’s warnings about the risks of war between China and the U.S. over Taiwan credible? And, is there still an agreement on his pioneering “One China Policy” as a means to manage growing tensions over Taiwan? On the back half of the show, exclusively for Munk donors, the conversation turns to next week’s Munk Debate on AI. What are the issues that Rudyard and Janice expect to see explored at the debate? How existential is the risk of AI and, more importantly, how should humankind be thinking about existential threats more generally in an age of machine intelligence? This podcast is a project of the Munk Debates, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to fostering civil and substantive public dialogue. More information at www.munkdebates.com.
