Episode Details

Verity Harding, former AI policy advisor to world leaders, warns that calling AI an “arms race” between the US and China is dangerously misleading—and actively harms global cooperation. She traces how the focus shifted from international collaboration to geopolitical rivalry, forcing smaller nations into binary alliances and fueling nationalist policies. Harding calls for a coalition of middle powers to break free from this toxic narrative, arguing that rethinking how we talk about AI can unlock safer, more equitable development and prevent countries from becoming pawns in a global tech conflict.
