INFLECTION zurich: Who Rules the World in the Age of AI

A talk in the INFLECTION Zurich series about the power of big tech corporations in the age of AI and the cloud. Dr. Cecilia Rikap, an economist at University College London, draws on her book "The Rulers" to show how Amazon, Microsoft, and Google use cloud credits, strategic acquisitions, and open-source strategies to create lasting dependencies — among innovators and even sovereign nations. She examines how these corporations gain political sway. The talk closes by asking how technology can be reclaimed for the public good. Sign-up is required.
