Today on the Giant Ideas podcast we are joined by Azeem Azhar: author, futurist and founder of the Exponential View newsletter and podcast which explains how society and the political economy are changing under the force of technology.

Azeem’s first book Exponential: Order and Chaos in an Age of Accelerating Technology studied how technology’s rapid pace of development is impacting the world.

Azeem is considered one of the most influential thinkers on the impact of technology on humanity’s future.

We discussed: How is energy now a technology not a commodity, and why does that matter so much for society? How are China and Pakistan using solar panels to power their economies? And how will AI change energy consumption - will AI be good or bad for the climate? And lots more... enjoy!
