Increasingly, speaking about anything to do with “Big Tech” is becoming a divisive, often ideological activity. On topics such as Palantir, digital identity, AI, datacentres and social media – to hold an opinion is a demonstration of tribal identity. It’s a terrible shame, because it obscures and even prevents the important discussions that we need to have as a society about the role of technology as it rapidly accelerates changes in the way we live and work.
