VPNs and India

Tech Life

Available for over a year

In this edition we're trying to find out why some popular security and privacy services - known as VPNs - are disappearing from app stores in India. Also on this week's Tech Life, we speak to the team behind a super-lightweight plane, powered by the sun's rays, that could be used like a steerable satellite. And does talk of artificial intelligence make you worried about your job, or make you wonder what the future might hold ? Don't worry, it's not all gloom ! We hear from a historian who is taking a very long view of AI. We’re always keen to hear from you.
