The world's biggest AI conversation is happening without India in the room. That is a mistake. One in eight of ChatGPT's weekly users sits in India. Eighty per cent of Indian professionals use AI at work — against fifty per cent in the US. And the country is quietly building its own sovereign language models, frugal AI tools, and healthcare diagnostics at a scale the West has not begun to absorb. Tushar Kansal — founder of Kansaltancy Ventures, VC strategist to 1,700-plus international investors — joins Nat Schooler to cover what India is actually building, what happened at the Delhi AI Summit that nobody is talking about, and why ancient Indian philosophy understands something about intelligent machines that Silicon Valley has missed completely. "AI can give you the right answer. But it cannot give you the right intention." Read the full piece: https://www.natschooler.com/why-india-is-winning-the-ai-race-nobody-is-watching/

Are your encrypted messages actually private, or is mass surveillance becoming the new normal? In this episode, host Nat Schooler is joined by business strategist Steven J. Manning to dissect EU Chat Control 2.0—the controversial legislative proposal that would force messaging platforms to use client-side scanning directly on smartphones, effectively breaking end-to-end encryption (E2EE) before messages even leave your device. Together, they examine the hidden realities of modern surveillance—from 300,000 mobile apps silently feeding location databases to CCTV networks and retina scanning—while weighing the delicate balance between public safety, child protection, and corporate privacy. What does this mean for executives, business operations, trade secrets, and everyday digital freedom? Episode Timestamps:
