The Soapbox E01: one-day regulator, AI takeover, and industry frustrations

Welcome to The Soapbox, a summer special from The Laundry.


The humble soapbox has been used for free speech and the open sharing of views for over a century!


We're channeling that spirit and inviting industry experts to share their hot takes on today's most pressing questions.


This week:


* If you were the regulator for a day, what’s the one thing you’d change?


* What should AI take over — and what should it leave alone?


* What’s the most frustrating part of your work, and how would you fix it?


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy

Engineer: Nicholas Thon
