The AI boom is not the investment boom we wanted. Can we make it work for us better? The issues raised by AI are daunting, and are a potentially dangerous distraction from other challenges facing humanity. We’ll look at AI as a site of geopolitical rivalry, as a source of new military systems and as a climate threat. Will AI be good for development? Will it be an engine for economic prosperity or a dangerous financial bubble? Episodes released weekly from Wednesday, October 28.  Hosted by energy and climate finance expert Kate MacKenzie, and Tim Sahay from the net zero industrial policy lab at Johns Hopkins University. They co-author The Polycrisis newsletter, which explores connections between energy, geopolitics, climate change, finance and industry.  Produced by Sarah Allely Original music by Russell Stapleton Mixed by Bethany Stewart
