Big Tech is making headlines again! Apple has removed Advanced Data Protection (ADP) for UK users after refusing to comply with a UK government request for access to encrypted data.

Where do we draw the line between privacy and security?

Should tech companies have the power to withdraw security features instead of cooperating with governments? Will other nations follow the UK’s lead?

Listen in to this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders to find out why this decision is so important and the wider global ramifications it could now create.

It has been another week of high-stakes drama in the AI world! On February 14, OpenAI rejected a massive $97.4 billion bid from an investor group led by Elon Musk. But was it ever a serious offer? Or just a strategic move to disrupt OpenAI’s for-profit shift?

Meanwhile, the Paris AI Summit saw world leaders signing a pledge for ethical AI, but the UK and US refused to sign. Is this about protecting innovation or avoiding much-needed regulation?

In this episode of Inspiring Tech Leaders, we break down:
💡 Elon Musk vs. OpenAI – A billionaire battle over the future of AI
💡 The $500B Stargate Project – OpenAI’s next big move in AI infrastructure
💡 The AI Regulation Divide – Why the UK & US refused to sign the Paris AI Summit agreement
💡 What this means for YOU – The impact of AI’s rapid commercialisation on jobs, privacy & innovation

AI is evolving fast, and the battle for control is heating up. Should AI be more heavily regulated, or should innovation take the lead?
