Episode 12 | Jakob Thomä - Silicon Boundaries: why the social and regulatory pushback on AI could ‘strand’ some of today’s massive tech investment bets?
In this episode of The Transition Tapes, we speak with, Founder & CEO of Theia Finance Labs and Professor in Practice at, about the huge risks embedded in today’s overwhelming investment focus on AI and tech — and how social and regulatory pushback could ‘strand’ some of the sector’s biggest investment bets.
We explore:
• the “silicon boundaries” we may already be crossing — and the societal and environmental costs involved
• where the data on these issues can be found, and what it reveals
• the growing evidence of societal and regulatory resistance to AI and tech expansion
• what investors should be doing now to finance a more humanly responsible future
Jakob also shares his Transition Tapes playlist — described as “absolute chaos musically and stylistically” — featuring Nina Simone, TLC, Tupac, Gala, Duman and more.
