Show Notes

What exactly is sovereign AI and why would we want it?

Machine learning and artificial intelligence expert Kiarie Ndegwa has been in the trenches with the tech for a decade, including working on Te Hiku Media's bilingual te reo Māori/NZ English transcription tool.

Ndegwa shares his unique perspective on what it means to truly own AI and data and dips into the technical details to debunk the claims that only Big Tech can deliver the goods to power AI.

Plus, the government's promise to open up genetic tech soon, US and China IT cold war continues, and NZ's telcos' steps toward modernisation.
