Judith Dada: European Tech Sovereignty and AI Optimism
Judith Dada of Visionaries critiques the German chancellor's speech at the startup awards, then frames sovereignty as leverage: owning choke points like ASML-style bottlenecks and Europe's industrial manufacturing base for robotics and embodied AI, funded with a real step change in public-private capital rather than incremental policy. She argues Europe needs a fiercely positive AI narrative, linking adoption to demographic decline and populist pressure on social cohesion. The conversation also digs into her essay on raising 'unfuckwithable' kids in the age of AI, literacy decline, the Odyssey, and whether humans became cyborgs the moment we bonded with our phones.
