Trump’s Tech and Xi’s AI – the livestream

America and China are fighting a tough battle for digital supremacy. And that now affects everything. From raw materials to the most crucial systems in our daily lives. Will we soon be completely at the mercy of the whims of crazy tech bros and Chinese bureaucrats?

In Trump’s Tech & Xi’s AI, Haroon Sheikh dives into the big strategic questions for Europe with Annette van Soest and Stefan de Vries. During this evening, with a special live edition of Café Europa, they analyze how much is at stake for us. Because from Nexperia to ASML and from DigiD to ChatGPT, a power struggle is being waged in every area of our economy with enormous consequences.

What difficult choices does Europe have to make to stay afloat? Because one thing seems certain: something has to change if we want to continue to live in freedom and prosperity. How do we prevent Musk, Altman and the rest of Silicon Valley from killing our democracy? On this evening you will hear everything that should be discussed in politics in The Hague and at the talk show tables.
