The Fourth Industrial Revolution Will Not be Televised, But It Will Be AI Generated (with Tom Kemp)

Tom Kemp is a Silicon Valley-based entrepreneur, seed investor,  policy advisor and author of the award-winning bestseller Containing Big Tech: How to Protect our Civil Rights, Economy, and Democracy. Tom was the founder and CEO of Centrify, a leading cybersecurity cloud provider. As an angel investor, he’s made seed investments in over fifteen tech start-ups. He has also served as a volunteer technology policy advisor for political campaigns, legislators, and civil society groups. His advocacy work includes leading the campaign marketing efforts in 2020 to pass the California Privacy Rights Act, and advising and contributing to the passage of state privacy laws in 2023, such as the California Delete Act and Texas’ data broker registry law. In 2024, Tom collaborated with advocacy groups and legislative leaders on the California AI Transparency Act.

In this conversation with Greg Olear, Tom Kemp discusses the implications of Elon Musk’s actions in the political landscape, the significance of the Delete Act for data privacy, the complexities of AI technology, and the current state of antitrust actions against big tech companies. The dialogue explores the intersection of technology, politics, and civil rights, emphasizing the need for regulatory frameworks to protect democracy and individual freedoms.
