In this course
Rishi Sunak appears only as a passing reference in the course materials, mentioned incidentally rather than as a theorist or thinker central to understanding AI, cybernetics, or their cultural implications. His citation in Bostrom's work likely concerns policy or governance responses to existential risk, but he functions here as a contemporary political figure navigating technological questions rather than as someone whose ideas shape the seminar's conceptual framework.
