Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 56 - The Old World Order is Dead. What Comes Next? Ian Bremmer with Anirudh Suri
Q: Are tech giants becoming co-sovereigns with states, or do states still retain the upper hand?
States still control overarching policies and governance frameworks, but tech giants now wield immense influence, often shaping defense, security, and economic outcomes through private capability and data leverage. The balance is shifting toward a more integrated, multi-actor sovereignty.
Ep. 56 - The Old World Order is Dead. What Comes Next? Ian Bremmer with Anirudh Suri
Q: What is really at play in this new geopolitics of technology and AI?
The interplay among state actors, private tech companies, and AI capabilities is redefining sovereignty and power. A technopolar order is emerging where non-state actors and digital infrastructure increasingly drive strategic outcomes, not just traditional nation-states.
Ep. 55 - Govts, Big Tech and India's Bid to Shape AI's Future | Ft. Amitabh Kant and Wilson White, with Anirudh Suri
Q: What should India focus on to become a global AI diffusion leader?
Prioritize data availability, energy-backed compute, a vibrant R&D ecosystem with public-private funding, and regulatory sandboxes that enable bold yet responsible AI deployment, plus scalable open data platforms and DPI integration.
Ep. 55 - Govts, Big Tech and India's Bid to Shape AI's Future | Ft. Amitabh Kant and Wilson White, with Anirudh Suri
Q: Is the view that India is a loser in the AI race accurate?
The guest argues that's an incomplete assessment; frontier models are led by the US and China, but India's strengths in data, diffusion, and open infrastructures position it to win through use cases and broad deployment, rather than chasing frontier models alone.
Ep. 52 (AI Futures) - Switzerland 2027: Is a Global AI Treaty Possible? Amb. Thomas Schneider with Anirudh Suri
Q: What role should consumers and voters play in steering AI development toward safe and beneficial outcomes?
Public choice and accountability matter; informed consumers and voters can pressure companies and governments to prioritize safety, sustainability, and rights protections, shaping the market and policy through demand and democratic processes.
