Episode notes
Digital Concentration Mirrors Old Monopolies
- Big tech is recreating 19th-century utility monopolies through vertical integration of essential digital infrastructure.
- This concentration threatens competition, national sovereignty, and the diversity of information sources.
AI Is Not Just LLMs
- AI is more than LLMs and requires plural technological approaches and national strategies.
- Countries and communities should decide their AI narratives based on values, not accept a single winner-take-all model.
Adopt Right-Sized Regulation
- Implement right-sized regulation to provide certainty, stability, and protection for consumers and innovators.
- Use regulation to encourage investment and clarity rather than stifle sensible innovation.
