Summary
World leaders in Davos are talking about 'tech sovereignty', but can Europe or the UK really achieve digital autonomy when so much of the AI and cloud infrastructure is controlled by a handful of US firms? Danny and Katie talk to Hany Farid about the geopolitics of tech, and the fear of an 'AI kill switch' - is this scaremongering or a real concern? Guest: Hany Farid, UC Berkeley professor and Co‑Founder & Chief Science Officer at GetReal Security. Image: Getty Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
