Tech development continues at an unprecedented rate; how do we ensure it works for the good of humanity, not the enrichment of a few? Two authors with unique insight behind the digital curtain thrash out the problem and possible solutions with Misha Glenny. Sebastian Mallaby discusses The Infinity Machine – his biography of DeepMind founder, Demis Hassabis – and Tim Wu talks The Age of Extraction and tech monopolists’ quest to mine humanity for data, attention, intention, and profit.
