AI Ethics, Silicon Valley Culture & Startups

What Happens When Big Tech Says No to Government?
Guest: Paul Ducklin (Duck)
After the response to Duck’s appearance in Series 1, we were delighted to invite him back to the show to hear more of his insights. This time, we discuss the UK government’s demand to weaken the encryption level of Apple’s iCloud Plus service, resulting in the withdrawal of the enhanced service from the UK market. We also discuss the growing challenge of knowledge and speed in technical innovation and debate the pros and cons of government legislation.
