On today’s episode we sit down with Executive Chairman of the Institute for Global Change and former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Tony Blair.
Tony became Prime Minister of the UK in 1997 where he served for over 10 years, and holds the record as the Labour party’s longest serving PM to date.
In December 2016 he founded the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, a not-for-profit organisation that aims to help make globalisation work for the many, not the few.
In November 2017, the Tony Blair Institute, published a paper entitled Technology for the many: A public policy platform for a better, fairer future. The premise of the paper was to set out the challenges and the opportunities for governments in the face of rapid technological change and to highlight the numerous ways in which government can use technology for good, resulting in positive outcomes for the many.
On today’s episode, I sit down with Tony, to learn more about the catalyst for the paper, why he believes government needs to start adopting technology now more than ever, and his thoughts on the biggest risks facing people in the tech sector and what that could mean for public policy in the UK.
