Control the Machine or Be Controlled

Coco and Nish are joined by top author and tech expert Jamie Bartlett. His new book is a deep dive into the ways AI is being used - highlighting its pitfalls and also where it might be beneficial.

Jamie even created an AI alter-ego to help people understand how the technology really works, its strengths and its limitations. 

Plus, your questions, answered! From the new electoral system in Wales to favourite conspiracy theories - you’ll learn and you’ll laugh!

Don’t forget to leave a review - it gives the show a boost and we love to see your comments.
