About this listen

We revisit the topics of individual agency, consumer perceptions of privacy, and self-sovereign identity through the lens of a “personal AI”.

Copenhagen-based Yngvi Karlson is the Co-founder of Kin, a personal AI built on privacy and trust. After two successful exits and a career in venture capital, he set out to answer a bigger question: can AI empower us without owning us? For him, Kin is more than technology. It’s a movement to put people back in control of their data, their conversations, and their future.
