In this episode, Akli Adjaoute—AI entrepreneur and founder of multiple Silicon Valley tech companies—sounds the alarm on the unchecked power of artificial intelligence.

Drawing from decades of experience in building advanced fraud detection systems, Adjaoute explores how AI is already shaping surveillance, social control, and financial systems in ways that threaten personal freedoms.

“Technology should protect people, not manipulate or monitor them,” he warns.

Raised in North Africa and France, and later thriving in the U.S. tech scene, Adjaoute brings a global perspective to one of the most urgent questions of our time: Are we building tools that serve humanity—or systems that will control it?

Join us for a timely conversation about the hidden risks of AI, the ethical crossroads we face, and what it means to lead with both innovation and responsibility.
