If the UK’s former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was in the government today, he says that he would mobilize his whole office around the technology revolution. Tony Blair and Azeem Azhar discuss why the tech leaders must collaborate with policy makers — whether they want to or not — and why regulating big technology is only a small part of the solution.
In this podcast, Tony and Azeem also discuss:
- Why Silicon Valley needs to share societal responsibility with the public sector
- How the government needs to change to be at the forefront of the technology revolution
- How the power of the technology industry has become its greatest liability
