America's tech giants are spending ten times the cost of the Apollo Project on chips and data centers to run the AI models they are developing at dizzying speed. Some claim this is a bubble ready to burst, while others think that AI will usher in utopia - or take our jobs and then kill us all. Who is right?

Former BBC World Service journalist Calum Chace is a co-founder of Conscium, an AI startup in London, and global keynote speaker on AI. He has been thinking, writing, and speaking about the future of AI for decades, and he offers a comprehensive account of why AI is so powerful, what it means for all of us in the near term - especially those of us in the media industries - and whether the dramatic forecasts about the longer term are simply science fiction.

Speaker: Calum Chace, Co-founder, Conscium

Moderator: Sebastien Berger, Bureau Chief for Southeast Asia, AFP, and FCCT Board Member
