    Frank Pasquale - Trust, Power and Democracy

    Professor Frank Pasquale, Brooklyn Law School, is an expert in the regulation of AI, with wide-ranging expertise from law and political economy to healthcare policy and privacy. His latest book is “New Laws of Robotics: Defending Human Expertise in the Age of AI”. In this episode, we talk about the loss of trust in US democratic processes; why regulators around the world are investigating alleged abuses of power by Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon; whether governments should use the location data collected by private companies to trace COVID contacts; why Frank says we’re in an arms race of self-disclosure to virtual nakedness; how AI decision-making could be democratised to make it more trustworthy; and whether the very nature of trust is changing.
