Greetings from Brussels, where I just moderated a session (on ethical A.I.) at the Tech.eu Summit. Unsurprisingly given the location, regulation is a recurring topic at this technology conference, but some of the voices calling for more of it may come as a surprise.
One of the most interesting speakers here is Miki Kuusi, cofounder of Finland-based delivery firm Wolt, which DoorDash bought for $7.5 billion last year. Kuusi is now both Wolt’s CEO and DoorDash’s head of international and would like to see more regulation of the gig economy. Why? Because it allows Wolt to treat its people well without being effectively penalized.
