23-Feb-2026
Are technology providers responsible for reporting potential criminal activity on their platforms?
On today’s Techstrong Gang, Alan Shimel, Mike Vizard, Stephen Foskett and Garima Bajpai examine whether companies such as Apple and OpenAI are culpable for failing to alert authorities about potential crimes, including child exploitation material or violent intent.
The conversation explores the legal and ethical boundaries of platform responsibility and the limits of corporate oversight.
The gang then analyzes a US effort to create a portal for posting content banned in Europe, raising questions about digital sovereignty and cross border governance.
Finally, the discussion turns to AI economics. Is artificial intelligence generating meaningful return on investment for most businesses, or is the hype outpacing measurable results?
From liability to regulation to ROI, this episode examines the accountability gap in modern technology.
