"Governments Are Running on AI at Scale" Guest: Nicolas Babin, EU Deputy Mayor & Digital Ambassador
What if I told you that your government is running on AI systems that operate at speeds humans cannot match? Not chatbots. Not theoretical. Real systems detecting fraud across millions of accounts, predicting security threats before they happen, accelerating healthcare innovation, and shaping policy before votes occur.
In this episode, I sit down with Nicolas Babin—someone inside the European digital infrastructure who has spent a decade watching this transformation unfold—to talk about:
- Why the Latvia SIM card fraud (200M+ fake accounts) changed how governments think about detection
- How vision AI and drones are catching undeclared assets for tax compliance
- The speed-versus-problem gap in cybersecurity (and why humans cannot close it alone)
- AI's actual role in healthcare innovation (vaccine acceleration, tumour detection, personalized medicine)
- What happens when governments move faster than citizens can follow
This is not a fearmongering episode. It is a clarity episode. If your organization works with government, depends on government systems, or is trying to understand where the world is actually heading, this conversation is for you.
The core question we don't ask enough: When governments use AI to detect, predict, and enforce at machine speed, how do we ensure the system is fast and fair?
