“These companies don't really care what governments do. Their
priority is their shareholders, their own existence and the next
quarter of growth. There is the possibility that governments can
regulate them, but they just don't. They don't regulate them
properly. The most they get are multi-billion dollar fines, which
sounds like a lot, but actually in the grand scheme of things
it's pocket change. It is a parking ticket for these companies.”
Misha Glenny speaks to technology writer Parmy Olson about
artifical intelligence, power and politics.

As AI rapidly reshapes economies and societies, Parmy has been
tracking the growing power of the companies driving this
technological revolution.

With tech giants now valued in the trillions, she also questions
whether governments are equipped to regulate them effectively, or
if their influence has already outpaced political control. The
Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world,
from all over the world. The best interviews from the BBC,

Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI. You can listen on the BBC World
