Another captivating episode in the BRICS & Geopolitics Series (#HTBRICSSeries) on Heads Talk where we explore the shifting landscape of money, trade, politics, conflict, and the technologies shaping the next global order.
This week, Iโm joined by David Sime, Chief Innovation Strategist at Invantage Ltd, with over 25 yearsโ experience spanning international markets, emerging technologies, and education. David has advised global institutions on navigating technological and geopolitical disruption, leading projects in AI, XR, Digital Twins, post-quantum encryption, and advanced energy systems. All with a focus on real-world impact and societal resilience.
In this conversation, we marry AI sovereignty and safety with the rise of BRICS+ and the cyclical nature of empires. Topics that might seem worlds apart, yet intersect at every level. From the cultural and political dimensions of surveillance technology to the contrasting innovation models of East and West, David takes us deep into how emerging tech both shapes and reflects global power shifts.
We ask: Can Western innovation, constrained by shareholder short-termism, compete with BRICS nationsโ state-aligned, long-horizon strategies? How will AI governance evolve in a multipolar world? And what can historyโs great power cycles tell us about the future weโre building?
