This week it"s the first in a series of special episodes recorded in front of a live audience at the Sifted Summit, and we"re kicking off with a bang: a fireside discussion between former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Sifted"s founder and editorial director John Thornhill. They discuss the ongoing AI revolution, with Eric arguing that the technology is actually undervalued today, and why "industrial" bubbles can actually be a good thing after they burst. He also talks about what the rest of the world can learn from Ukraine when it comes to automation in the defence sector, and about how Europe can compete on the global stage in the new AI economy.
