Episode Title: ๐จ๐ญUnder Surveillance๐ธ๐ช
Technology was built to serve humanity. But what happens when humanity begins serving technology instead?
My guest today on Heads Talkยฎ for the #HTPowerSeries, Sara Magdalena Goldberger, operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data governance, and digital regulation. Having advised organisations, policymakers, and international institutions on the opportunities and systemic risks of emerging technologies, Sara brings a refreshingly pragmatic perspective to one of the defining questions of our age: are we still in control?
This is a conversation that goes well beyond AI. We explore surveillance, accountability, digital sovereignty, quantum computing, and the quiet transfer of influence from governments to those who control data and algorithms. Along the way, we challenge whether regulation is chasing the wrong problems entirely and ask what meaningful human oversight should actually look like in an increasingly autonomous world.
For me, this was one of those discussions that starts with technology but quickly becomes about society itself. If you're interested in where AI, cybersecurity, governance and geopolitics converge, this episode is well worth your time.
