  • Can London become the AI capital of the world?
    Nov 19 2024
    Keir Starmer has vowed to make London the AI capital of the world. But is that truly possible? Silicon Valley continues to dominate the rapidly growing industry and with Trump promising to repeal Biden's AI regulations, the UK could struggle to keep up. In today’s episode of The Bunker, Dr. Kate Devlin speaks with Sana Khareghani, former Chair of the UK’s Office for AI, to explore whether London will rise as the next global AI hub – or if it is destined to fall behind in the race. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

  • MAGA Bing! How The Sopranos explains Donald Trump
    Nov 15 2024
    Donald Trump feels like a TV character – and if you’re a Sopranos fan, you might have noticed a similarity with Tony Soprano. Both are imposing egomaniacs, desperate to control their families, get more power and indulge themselves along the way. Jacob Jarvis is joined by former Obama speechwriter and fellow Sopranos superfan David Litt to discuss the comparisons and what the HBO show can teach us about the world of MAGA. Read David’s piece: The Sopranos Is the Perfect Show to Help Us Understand the Trump Era. We are sponsored by Indeed. Go to Indeed.com/bunker for £100 sponsored credit.
