For over a decade, technology has promised to simplify our lives, but the rapid rise of AI has brought a wave of anxiety about the future of work, governance, and human connection. We sit down with AI analyst Ignacio de Gregorio, author of The White Box, to separate the unsubstantiated hype from the geopolitical and economic realities of artificial intelligence. From the hidden debt financing fueling data center expansion to Europe’s critical compute gap, this conversation explores the real risks—and true potential—of the AI boom.

At the intersection of human ingenuity and our rapidly evolving tools, Tech, Innovation & Society-The Creative Process offers a necessary space for deep conversation. This podcast moves beyond simple gadget reviews or speculative hype to examine how technology, from foundational software to advanced AI and robotics, is actively reshaping our culture, economy, and daily lives. Each episode is built on the premise that the most meaningful progress emerges from a blend of disciplines. You’ll hear from leading scientists, engineers, and economists alongside visionary artists, writers, and environmental thinkers, creating a unique dialogue between the technical and the humanistic. These discussions delve into the real-world implications of innovation, tackling both its extraordinary potential and the complex challenges it presents for people and the planet. The focus is consistently on pathways toward a more sustainable and thoughtfully constructed future. By exploring the lives and creative practices of these diverse minds, the series illuminates how artistic sensibility informs scientific rigor and how technological understanding can expand creative possibility. Tune in for a nuanced exploration of the forces designing our tomorrow, grounded in the expertise and personal reflections of those who are shaping it.
