Is Big Tech the new global government? In this episode of the McGill PTP Philosophy Podcast, host Alex Carty sits down with philosopher Radheesh Ameresekere to discuss his first post for "The Normative Network."

They dive deep into why we need to stop viewing AI and digital technologies merely as "tools" or "products" and start seeing them as active forms of global governance. From the US Cloud Act and data sovereignty to the blurring lines between private firms and state power, Radheesh argues that our current international legal frameworks are failing to keep up with technological innovation.
