This is an unusual episode at the intersection of tech and human aspiration. What if instead of registering, cataloging and surveilling human beings, technology could be repurposed to helping them start their lives anew?

UAE Tech Podcast is an exploration on how technology is merging with and reshaping government in the United Arab Emirates. 

A little understood but fundamental transition is taking place across a series of Emirates first established less than fifty years ago, in 1971. 

It’s here that the center of technological gravity is shifting from the private sector to a hybrid relationship involving industrialists, entrepreneurs, diplomats, policymakers, creatives and citizens. 

It’s also here that signs of a Fourth Industrial Revolution are emerging.

In this series John Lillywhite talks with leaders from across the UAE in an effort to map these macro trends, and probe how innovations in big data, network science and digitalisation are not simply revolutionising government, but could - one day -  play a role in influencing the systems that power global civilization itself.
