About Carl Miller
Carl’s podcast series tells the story of how he uncovered a secret murder-for-hire kill list on the dark net, targeting hundreds of innocent people. When law enforcement initially failed to act, Carl found himself in a race against time to warn those in danger and expose those responsible. His investigation ultimately led to 28 convictions and more than 180 years of prison sentences.
Carl is a TED speaker who addresses global audiences on how the digital revolution is reshaping and destabilising traditional power structures. He has spoken in Parliament, NATO, Oxford University, DEFCON, the Hay Festival, the British Academy, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, Wired, Google, Shell and to the Mayor of London, and has delivered keynotes across Chicago, Bangkok, Berlin, Vienna, Oslo, San Francisco, Prague and Ottawa.
His debut book, The Death of the Gods: The New Global Power Grab, explores how digital power is disrupting politics, business and media. It won the 2019 Transmission Prize and draws on immersive investigations spanning political technology communes, information warfare bases, fake news networks, hackers and assassination markets on the dark net.
In 2013, Carl founded CASM Technology, an AI research lab pioneering new ways to analyse and protect the digital world. Now a team of 25 Natural Language Processing engineers, CASM works with organisations including the World Health Organization, European Commission, NATO, Ofcom and BBC Monitoring, tackling terrorism, radicalisation, hate and autocratic influence online. He also coined the term “SOCMINT” (social media intelligence) alongside the former Director of GCHQ.
Carl combines immersive first-person storytelling with rigorous data and evidence, helping audiences understand how technology is transforming crime, AI, geopolitics, journalism, democracy and business. His talks explore who truly controls AI, how disinformation operates, how power is shifting online, and why organisations today sit on a knife-edge between risk and opportunity in the digital age.

- The Hidden Reality of Power Today – How the most precious commodity of the digital age is being fought over, won, lost and transformed. From politics to journalism, business to crime, Carl will talk about his year-long journey to track down the nature of power today, show where it has gone and the shape it now takes.
- Understanding risk and volatility in the Digital Age – Whether it is a crisis of law enforcement or the production of fake news, enormous disruptions to markets or the undermining of political systems, Carl will explain the important, and often hidden risks that digital technologies have created.
- Digital crime and cyber security – Carl draws on going on a cyber-crime raid with the police, going to the largest annual gathering of hackers in Las Vegas, and even trying to do some cyber-crime himself to show how we’re all living through an extraordinary moment: the worst crisis of law enforcement in the history of modern policing.
- How to win the digital revolution – From hackers to cyber-criminals, citizen journalists to fake news merchants, information warriors to digital presidents, what are the lessons that we can all learn from those on the front-lines of the digital revolution?
- Synthetic Media – Is seeing believing? Maybe not. Carl talks about the struggle between truth and lies online. He covers the rise of attention hacking, fake news, and information warfare. How new technology can create fake photos and videos that look very, very real. How social media platforms are being systematically subverted, and how militaries increasingly fight wars in information. It’s a new arms race, but one everyone is part of.
