What if the price you pay depends on how desperate you are? Investigative journalist Sarah Westall joins Richard Syrett to expose the unsettling world of AI shopping surveillance, secret consumer profiles and algorithmic pricing. Are corporations merely tracking our purchases, or learning exactly how much they can squeeze from us?
GUEST: Sarah Westall is an investigative journalist, technology entrepreneur and host of Business Game Changers. With a background in computer science, engineering and systems design, she has led telecommunications technology teams, built an international business and taught at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management. Her investigations examine the intersection of technology, corporate power, surveillance and individual freedom.
