Ever wondered what happens when the slow, deliberate machinery of government collides with the relentless pace of technological change? That’s the central tension explored in Government vs The Robots, a fortnightly podcast from Little Atoms hosted by Jonathan Tanner. This isn't just speculative fiction; it's a grounded, often surprising look at the very real ways emerging tech is set to reshape power, policy, and public life. Think of it as a necessary briefing for the future, where the corridors of Westminster meet the algorithms of tomorrow. Each episode, Jonathan is joined by a rotating panel of thinkers and practitioners-experts he genuinely enjoys engaging with-to unpack topics from AI legislation and surveillance to digital democracy and the ethics of automation. The conversations are accessible but never superficial, designed for anyone curious about where politics must go as technology races ahead. Tune in for thoughtful analysis that cuts through the hype, asking not just what technology can do, but what it should do within the frameworks that govern us all. This podcast is hosted on Acast.
