Jonathan and Carissa also express their fears of the UK becoming a data​ haven in 2021 and the possibility that individuals more than large conglomerates will become the targets of cyberattacks in 2021. They also discuss AI, predicting an acceleration in businesses performing Tech and AI audits this year as well as a need for randomised control trials for newly developed AI.
