Description

This week, Amol speaks to Matt Clifford, co-founder of Entrepreneurs First and former AI advisor to Number 10. Matt’s radical idea is simple; he wants to make Britain wealthy again by supercharging economic growth. He argues that economic stagnation has left the UK with flat living standards and wages. In short, he says, Britain needs a pay rise - and the way to get it is through a rapid adoption of AI, and backing entrepreneurs. But what are the challenges? Amol and Matt discuss the potential winners and losers in the AI revolution, the dangers of cutting red tape, and whether economic growth really is the best way of improving our lives.GET IN TOUCH    * WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480  * Email: [email protected]    Episodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Thursday and Monday.
