Will the calls to pause the development of AI solve the challenges? Is more global governance and regulations the answer to the rapid development of generative AI? What are the implications of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse? 

Together with Gerard de Graaf, EU's Senior Envoy for Digital to the U.S, we discuss these matters and the importance of the role of the governments to protect our society from the downsides of technology. In this second episode we discuss the latest news from Silicon Valley.
