The Big Tech Show · America's AI kill switch — why Donald Trump now decides whether we get Claude and ChatGPT in Europe · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

You pointed in one of your pieces online to an essay that a guy called Leopold Aschenbrenner had written a couple of years ago. voice-verified

And he raises this idea of the nationalization of artificial intelligence. voice-verified

And that is the next question. voice-verified

Are we now looking at voice-verified

the Americans essentially trying to nationalize AI, the frontier models, the anthropics, the open AIs, you know, to a lesser extent, you know, XAI or whoever is based in the States. voice-verified

Is that what's happening here? voice-verified

So if you even considered the chips... Just before we go there, because again, it was something that you pointed to, but the Washington Post had reported... voice-verified

that Trump had told reporters that the leaders of all of the big AI companies, as Trump described them, would soon be coming to the White House to discuss the government taking stakes, calling it a partnership with the American public. voice-verified

Sam Altman of OpenAI has already indicated voice-verified

that they would be willing to talk on those terms. voice-verified

Bernie Sanders on the other side, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont wants a sovereign wealth fund to take equity and board seats. voice-verified

Yeah, but why? voice-verified

We had to do it with the banks for liquidity. voice-verified

This is not one of the complaints about the Chinese companies that we're all worried that the Chinese state has too much of an influence and a potential backdoor. voice-verified

And I guess is this what we in the West, and by the way, it's a very broad we with a small w, is this our response to quasi-nationalize or have, say, board seats on the most powerful companies? voice-verified

So we shouldn't regard this as just a whim by this administration, that the US state is serious about this. voice-verified
