The technological revolution is transforming the way we live. Individuals, businesses, NGOs and policymakers are operating and interacting more efficiently than ever. However, alongside these gains, the geopolitics of technology and data represents a significant risk for organisations across all sectors and geographies.
Our mission is to provide clients with thought leadership and analysis on key topics to help them navigate these emerging terrains. Leveraging technology and data and minimising risk allows our clients to maximise their potential and drive growth. Our team of dedicated Young Professionals are ‘on the pulse’, recognising key trends in data localisation, IP theft, AI ethics, big tech antitrust, cybersecurity, blockchain, crypto, GDPR and industrial policies affecting key technologies. The recognition of these key technology trends, with the backdrop of London Politica’s broader expertise in geopolitical risk allows for the provision of comprehensive and integrated actionable insights.

Through our series of articles, analysts from both London Politica and Warwick Think Tank delved into the ways in which TikTok has influenced propaganda and misinformation, whether it can be used as a means of surveillance, how it compares to long- standing privacy regulations and what implications this has for the wider international landscape.

With the growing popularity of AI-powered commercial chatbots such as GPT-3, Claude and Sage, artificial intelligence has taken the public discourse by storm. Questions of public utility, productivity, and task automation on the one hand and concerns over loss of jobs or dystopian visions of a robotized future on the other have divided public opinion across the world. It is thus no surprise that such controversial, yet undoubtedly extremely promising technology has grabbed the attention of state services, notably intelligence agencies.
