Happy International Women’s Day from the whole Teens in AI Podcast Team. To celebrate International Women’s Day, at Teens in AI we are currently holding our annual Global Girls in AI hackathon across 25 countries, with over 1000 participants, 150 speakers, and 500 mentors and organisers. The Lead Organisers really are the glue of this event, without them it just would not be possible to get so many young people from so many different backgrounds learning about AI. So for this special episode we talked to 5 of them, and the Founder and CEO of Teens in AI, Elena, to find out a little more about them and their hackathons! We hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoyed chatting with them.

From the story-writing algorithms of the Ancient Greeks, to the power of bots today to debunk vaccine rumours, we explore how this relationship is becoming ever more ingrained in our lives. Could a bot win a Nobel Prize? Write your essays for you? And would you take your three favourite books to a desert island, or a bot that would endlessly write new books for you? We hope you enjoy!
