2/3 - Most conversations about AI assume someone is in control. This one questions that assumption. In this second film in the UK AI Reality series, the discussion moves beyond the founder and into the systems that shape national infrastructure, public services, and technological risk. Jack Perschke speaks candidly about how decisions around cloud, platforms, and AI are often responses to circumstance rather than deliberate strategy, and what it means when core infrastructure is dominated by a small number of global players.

The conversation ranges from sovereignty and public sector delivery to governance, risk, and the practical realities of building systems people can actually trust. This isn’t a debate about policy. It’s a look at how things really get decided, and what happens when they don’t.
