Why China Might Win the AI Race – And That’s Not a Bad Thing

From cyber law to Kabul, from the UN to Brussels, Caro Robson has been at the frontline of AI regulation for two decades. In this episode, she joins Maryrose Lyons of the AI Institute to dissect the global power struggle over AI.

They talk DeepSeek, Deep State, and the deep flaws in Europe’s AI readiness. Caro breaks down the delays in the EU AI Act, the surprising innovation culture in China, and the human cost behind every clever chatbot.

Expect a smart, clear-eyed take on ethics, enforcement, and why Malta is outperforming Ireland on AI preparation.
