Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hidden Cost of AI: Who Actually Pays? | Elina Noor | Keris & Silicon EP03
Q: How should Southeast Asia envision a regional tech strategy that avoids being a perpetual labour layer?
By pursuing a third- or fourth-way regional approach, prioritising local data governance, indigenous data practices, and smaller-scale, community-informed tech solutions that complement regional capabilities rather than chasing centralized, extractive models.
The Hidden Cost of AI: Who Actually Pays? | Elina Noor | Keris & Silicon EP03
Q: What excites you about tech despite its risks, and how do we balance promise with perils?
There is cautious optimism about tech expanding capabilities like cancer detection, but we must unpack the data behind it, address bias and harms in data labor, and ensure governance structures keep pace with innovation to avoid reproducing old power dynamics.
The Hidden Cost of AI: Who Actually Pays? | Elina Noor | Keris & Silicon EP03
Q: You've been one of the leading voices questioning how we ensure AI is ethical; in two minutes, what is your position, starting from your colonial infrastructure point?
Technology is sociotechnical and must serve society with justice and equity at its core. The bigger picture shows tech as power, and the path forward requires awareness of colonial underpinnings, concrete governance, and local autonomy rather than simply adopting the future.
Is The Internet The Successor to America | Balaji Srinivasan | Keris & Silicon EP02
Q: What's this thesis on the Network State? Give us a two-minute version.
Balaji outlines four core ideas: immigrants seek new countries; the East's governance advances contrast with the West's crises; the end of the American empire will be followed by chaos in some regions and the rise of internet-based networks; and the internet enables a cooperative state model where network and land collaborate, including legal and economic mechanisms to recognize and benefit from digital communities.
