The podcast highlights Andreu Belsunces Gonçalves’s key points on the dangers of technology hype: that engaging with hype means adopting the political and ideological agendas of its promoters; that the tech industry relies on fiction, even in academic papers, to present imagination as science; that portraying AI as a god-like entity implicitly argues against regulation; and that by framing certain futures as inevitable, Big Tech generates normative visions that shape innovation, investment, and collective behaviour across society.
