Addictive intelligence, assistive intelligence…Audrey intelligence?

About this episode

Audrey Tang and James Gauci discuss the role of open-source technology and AI in promoting community service at the Social Enterprise World Forum 2025.

The world of business for good is complex and fast moving, and it can be challenging to keep up with the new ideas, technologies and innovations driving positive change. So at Pioneers Post, we’ve decided to call in the experts to help us – and you – to make sense of it all: welcome to the Good Experts Podcast. In episode two, Taiwan’s cyber minister Audrey Tang and ethical technologist James Gauci discuss how open-source technology can counter ‘digital feudalism’ and how AI can be developed to truly serve communities. At Social Enterprise World Forum 2025, which took place in Taipei, Taiwan, Gauci and Tang explored these questions, and more, before Tang’s keynote speech which closed the event. From “techno-communitarianism” to “polarisation per minute” to “ancestral intelligence”, Gauci and Tang uncover ways AI can be developed and used while maintaining a commitment to serving people and planet.  This episode was produced in partnership with  Cadent , with support from Social Enterprise World Forum .
