Bestselling author, political strategist and former Georgia State Representative Stacey Abrams will headline the inaugural KPBS San Diego Book Festival on Aug. 23.

Abrams joined Midday Edition on Thursday to talk about her latest book, "Coded Justice," which dives into the ethical questions around the use of AI in the healthcare industry.

"What I want us to think about with AI is that it's an extraordinarily powerful technology that is controlled by people," Abrams said. "And that means people have to understand what's happening and that means other people have to question where it comes from, what it does and what impact it will have on us."

Plus, KPBS' Beth Accomando looks at how a new all-women acting company is flipping the script on Shakespearean plays.

Then, Julia Dixon Evans shares her top picks for arts events this weekend, including meteor showers, visual art about caregiving and a children's film festival.

Guests:
  • Stacey Abrams, author of "Coded Justice," former Georgia State Representative and two-time gubernatorial candidate
  • Audrey Sweet, co-founder of the Queen's Men
  • Charlotte B. Larson, co-founder of the Queen's Men
  • Julia Dixon Evans, arts reporter, KPBS
