Join CXOTalk episode 875 for an exclusive conversation with Lord Chris Holmes and Lord Tim Clement-Jones of the UK House of Lords as they offer unprecedented insights into the future of AI, digital assets, and public trust.

This landmark episode explores how policymakers at the highest levels are navigating the delicate balance between technological innovation and public protection. The Lords share firsthand perspectives on legislative initiatives they've personally championed — including the AI Regulation Bill, the AI in the Public Sector Bill, and the Property Bill (which includes digital assets such as tokens), revealing the deliberations behind these frameworks.

The discussion will also emphasize the importance of international collaboration on AI standards, the transformative potential of digital asset tokenisation, and the democratizing power of open banking and open-source LLM technologies.
