New Zealand futurist Ben Reid joins the (award nominated!) podcast for a second time to talk about his new book Fast Forward Aotearoa, which unpacks a path to a future of technological success and positivity for NZ.
Peter speaks to Reid about what systemic changes must be made to ensure the best outcomes for all New Zealanders.
Plus, we talk about Chorus' investment in datacentres, Uber's big Aussie settlement, and why news outlets are making deals with artificial intelligence (AI) companies.
