  • In an era where digital platforms shape our discourse, what does "freedom of speech" truly mean? In this episode, we tackle the complex, and often controversial, world of online expression.

    From JD Vanceā€™s bold statements at the Munich Security Conference to legislating freedom of speech, we explore the shifting sands of free speech in both politics and technology. Is the digital public square really free, or is it quietly governed by unseen hands?

    We also take a hard look at the US administration's paradoxical approachā€”championing freedom of speech on one side while taking actions that may contradict it on the other. And what about the tech giants and other nation states? How much responsibility do platforms hold in preserving or moderating our right to speak?

    Join us as we break down:

    Why freedom of speech is at a tipping point.The silent power of algorithms and moderation.How global politics are shaping the future of online expression.The fine line between protecting free speech and ensuring safety.

    This isnā€™t just about platforms or policiesā€”itā€™s about who gets to shape the narratives of our time.

  • E04: Rethinking Rare Earth Minerals ā€“ The Secret War No One Is Talking About

    Your smartphone. Your laptop. The electric car you dream of buying. None of it works without rare earth minerals. Theyā€™re invisible in your daily life, but they power the modern world. And right now, nations are scrambling, corporations are maneuvering, and billionaires are making strategic plays behind closed doors.

    šŸ”¹ Why are Trump and Zelensky negotiating mineral deals during aid talks?
    šŸ”¹ Why is Big Tech completely silent in the rare earth conversation?
    šŸ”¹ And most importantlyā€”who actually stands to win?

    In this episode, weā€™re connecting the dots between rare earth minerals, AI, electrification, and the global tech power struggle. This isnā€™t just about national securityā€”itā€™s about who controls the future.

    šŸš€ What in the world are Rare Earth Minerals? And why are they being called "the new oil"?
    šŸ”¬ The Tech Power Play ā€“ AI, EVs, and semiconductors depend on REMs. If China cuts off supply, the Westā€™s tech empire crumbles.
    šŸŒ The Geopolitics of Resources ā€“ Why Ukraine, Greenland, and even the Arctic are suddenly battlegrounds for mineral dominance.
    āš–ļø The Ethics of Resource-Driven Foreign Policy ā€“ Is trading aid for minerals just businessā€¦ or something more sinister?
    šŸ¤Æ What this means for YOU ā€“ Could AI prices skyrocket? Will Tesla and OpenAI be forced to play by Chinaā€™s rules?

    The real AI war isnā€™t happening in Silicon Valleyā€”itā€™s happening deep underground, in the global race for rare earth dominance.

    šŸŽ§ Listen now to rethink the future of AI, Big Tech, and global power.

  • šŸ’” Where will AI be by the end of 2025?

    A new U.S. presidency, rapid advancements in AI, and geopolitical tensions mean that any predictions made just a few months ago are already outdated. Thatā€™s why weā€™re hitting reset and breaking down five key trends that will define AI by the end of the year.

    šŸŽ™ļø In this snappy episode of Rethinking Tech, we cover:
    šŸš€ AI Tech ā€“ How agentic AI, robotics, and real-world applications will evolve.
    āš–ļø Legislation ā€“ Will 2025 bring stronger AI regulations, or will innovation win?
    šŸ’¾ Chips ā€“ Can Nvidia maintain dominance, or will new players rise?
    šŸŒ Data Centers ā€“ Who is investing, and will the U.S. face an energy crisis?
    šŸ¤– Ethics & Impact ā€“ How will AI reshape jobs, global power, and security?

    šŸŽ­ And at the end of the episode, we go off-script! We challenge each otherā€™s predictions, debate which ones actually hold up, and flesh out the ethical dilemmas that AI will create this year.

    2025 is moving fast. AI is moving even faster. Are we heading for a more competitive, more fractured, and possibly more aggressive future?

  • šŸ’” AI is moving fastā€”but are we steering it in the right direction?

    At the AI Action Summit, world leaders, regulators, and tech giants gathered to shape the future of artificial intelligence. But who really benefits from these conversations? And are the right questions even being asked?

    In this episode of Rethinking Tech, we unpack:
    āœ… The key narratives from the AI Action Summitā€”whatā€™s being prioritized, and whatā€™s being ignored?
    šŸŒ Geopolitical maneuveringā€”how AI is becoming a tool for influence and power between nations.
    šŸ’¼ Corporate vs. government controlā€”who gets to shape AI policy, and what does that mean for the rest of us?
    āš–ļø Ethical blind spotsā€”are we truly addressing AIā€™s risks, or just managing PR crises?
    šŸ”® The bigger pictureā€”what happens next, and how will it shape AIā€™s role in society?

  • Chinaā€™s answer to OpenAI,Deepseek, has arrivedā€”and itā€™s not just another chatbot. This episode ofRethinking Tech goes far beyond the usual headlines, unpacking what this really means forglobal power structures, AI competition, and the digital future weā€™re all walking into.

    Weā€™re not here to rehash the surface-level debates. Instead, we dive deep into:

    The geopolitical stakes: What does Deepseekā€™s rise signal about Chinaā€™s ambitions in AI, and why does this shake up the Westā€™s dominance?The business play: With its access to data and regulatory advantages, can Deepseek outmaneuver its American rivals?The ethics dilemma: Are we looking at a parallel AI ecosystem or a fragmented digital future where national AI models reinforce ideological divisions?

    Most discussions about AI stay locked inwhoā€™s smarter, faster, or more powerfulā€”but weā€™re askingwhoā€™s really in control? And more importantly,who stands to win and lose as AI becomes the next frontier of global influence?

    If you think youā€™ve already heard everything about Deepseek, think again.This episode will make you question whatā€™s next in AIā€”before itā€™s too late to shape it.
