Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Every last girl: a journey to educate India’s forgotten daughters

Q: How did precision targeting change the pace of impact?

Using predictive algorithms and data from millions of households, Educate Girls moved from broad village-wide outreach to targeted work in a small subset of villages, dramatically shortening the time to enroll millions of girls.

Every last girl: a journey to educate India’s forgotten daughters

Q: What were the two bookends essential to this work?

Community ownership for mindset shift and government partnership for systems change, with technology acting as an accelerant to scale impact.

In conversation with Reni Eddo-Lodge

Q: What would you hope the legacy of your book to have in the UK ten years on?

I hope the book remains a reference point that helps students and readers understand power dynamics and racism as both interpersonal and structural, continuing to influence curricula and public discourse while encouraging more nuanced discussions about British identity and anti-racism.

Socialism after AI

Q: Can AI be used to foster class consciousness and challenge the system that created it, or will it primarily reinforce capitalist dynamics?

AI can potentially catalyze a form of class consciousness if used as a tool for critical education and collective organizing, not merely as a productivity enhancer for capital. However, achieving this requires institutional support, transparent governance, and a cultural shift away from privatized access toward public, solidaristic use. The technology's social meaning depends on who controls data, algorithms, and the resulting infrastructures; without democratic oversight, it risks reinforcing the existing power structures.

Socialism after AI

Q: If AI replaces lots of jobs, would you see that as a problem or opportunity from a socialist perspective?

Job displacement is a real risk under current AI deployment, but the focus should be on how society reorganizes work and education. Rather than accepting a purely market-led reallocation, socialism should emphasize developing new capacities, expanding public goods, and ensuring access to lifelong learning. The goal is to move from a simple productivity narrative to a framework that broadens human capabilities and social solidarity, leveraging AI to enhance collective well-being rather than to entrench capitalist control.
