It's been a year and half since Tristan and Aza laid out their vision and concerns for the future of artificial intelligence in The AI Dilemma. In this Spotlight episode, the guys discuss what's happened since then–as funding, research, and public interest in AI has exploded–and where we could be headed next. Plus, some major updates on social media reform, including the passage of the Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act in the Senate.

In this episode Giuseppe Sollazzo shares his insights from the NHS AI lab skunkworks programme - an initiative to find new ways to use AI for driving forward the early adoption of technology in the NHS. Discussion topics include: - The value of an open-source approach to AI development in the public sector - The importance of being transparent about both successes and failures - The role of MDT AI teams in the NHS and upskilling the workforce in relation to AI More information about the skunkworks projects here: https://transform.england.nhs.uk/ai-lab/ai-lab-programmes/skunkworks/
Is Generative AI a Threat or an Ally for Agencies? Join us for a special episode of the Vertical Go To Market Podcast featuring Russ Perry, CEO of Design Pickle, where we discuss effective strategies for agency owners to approach new tools such as generative AI and chat GPT. Our conversation explores how these tools can save time, improve efficiency, and add value for agencies. We also delve into the creative process and highlight how these tools can be used to craft specialized content for clients across various industries. We also touch on the potential legal implications of utilizing such tools, as well as the Wild West element that still exists in this space. You'll also hear about the inspiring origin story of Design Pickle and how Russ transformed from a failed agency owner to a successful CEO leading a thriving flat-rate subscription creative services company.

Yosuke @ushi_ and Ken @kenfjy from our London studio recently visited AI: More than Human at Barbican with our friend James from YES. In this podcast, the three of them share some of our first impressions of the exhibition, as well as work that they are interested in seeing in the future, in the context of Artificial Intelligence and smart systems.
Our podcast this week looks at a new exhibition on AI art that opened at the Barbican centre in London. *AI: More than Human* is an ambitious exhibition that explores the relationship between humans and AI technology. The show has received mixed reviews, particularly from art critics. Join Creative AI researchers Jon, Nina and Dilpreet as they unpack why AI Art exhibitions are problematic and might not be as favourable to art critics as traditional exhibitions of human art.
Mark Billingham, Val McDermid and Doug Johnstone are well-known for their detective stories, which they write alone. But they come together as members of the band Fun Lovin' Crime Writers. They perform live and talk to Stig Abell about their day jobs, the joys of collaborating as a popular beat combo and the connections between these. They stay on as cultural commentators to give their opinions of Robert De Niro's powerful new role - in an ad for bagels, the temporary ban on the export of the copy of Lady Chatterley's Lover that the judge annotated and brought with him to court when he presided at the famous obscenity trial in 1960, and, closer to home, the list of the 100 best crime novels published since 1945 - of which only 28 are by women. The impact Artificial Intelligence will have on our lives is the subject of the Barbican’s major new exhibition AI: More than Human, which also seeks to challenge our preconceptions. Tech expert Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino reviews. Medusa is an ancient myth that certainly speaks to our times, abused by a powerful male, she is somehow blamed for this and exacts revenge. The Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui has chosen this tale for his first work for the Royal Ballet and has set his dance to songs by Purcell and modern electronic music. He explains to Stig Abell why he is melding the ancient, modern and Baroque. Presenter: Stig Abell Producer: Julian May
OVERVIEW Listen in as I interview John Berkowitz, Co-Founder and CEO of OJO Labs in Austin, Texas. As we enter the early days of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the convergence of large amounts of data being capture on various devices and distributed computing power has ushered in a new world of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Many new commercial iterations AI have focused on service industries and trying to create applications that can service consumers better than the level of service historically provided by humans. John provides his thoughts on the promise of AI in real estate and what OJO Labs is doing to help both consumers and agents get value out this new technology. JOHN'S THOUGHTS: AI is technology that allows machines to perform tasks that previously were better performed by humans Artificial General Intelligence is where machines are able to “think” like humans and we are far away from that level of AI More narrow AI based on natural language processing, visual perception and pattern recognition is available today OJO launched in 2015 and it was not initially designed to be an AI company. It is now focused on helping consumers make better decisions. Initially launched a text bot and tested with consumers and learned that consumers will ask questions that they might not ask with humans but that the technology needed to be conversational in nature They are still very early in their tech development process OJO is trying to solve the problem where prospective home buyers are unwilling to talk with a human early in their home search process and provide them with meaningful assistance that can eventually act as a bridge to real estate agents OJO's customer is the consumer but deeply believes that real estate professionals are essential to a consumer's real estate journey Biggest challenge is trying to develop an application based on a complex and changing consumer dynamic He sees technology as reducing the number of agents necessary to service the demand but does not see the agent role going away LINKS www.ojolabs.com www.whatmatters.com
In part 2 of our bumper end of year special (episode 40), we make some predictions for what 2019 might hold... 2019 Predictions: Politics & Economics BREXIT (or not…?) General Election? UK voluntary reporting on SDGs Ongoing impact of austerity Local government funding and Local Authorities running out of money Populism & ongoing challenges for democracy Another global financial crash? Philanthropy & Civil Society More critiques of big philanthropy; general default more critical (also in UK?) Focus on think tanks, dark money etc Austerity: debating role of charity vs state Further closing space issues, including digital angles (misinformation, astroturfing etc) Networked models for social change Line between civil society and politics will come under increasing strain Shifting power; democratising philanthropy Next big fundraising/charity scandal? Technology Continuing tech backlash? More funders focussing on algorithmic bias Pushback on AI ethics- criticism that it frames the debate in the tech industry’s terms and allows them to avoid discussion of regulation etc. Divergence of cryptophilanthropy and blockchain efforts Blockchain will continue to bubble under surface and back office blockchain use case will be demonstrated Self Sovereign Digital Identity will come to the fore Charity RegTech applications will emerge Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing for data collection and analysis on charity finances, philanthropy data More giving by conversational AI More commercial platforms adding giving functionality eSports growth, digital “skins” and giving via gaming platforms (e.g. Twitch) Deepfakes and challenges to online authenticity More awareness of personal data bargain Charity Data fines
How can we build smart cities with AI? More than half of the world's population currently lives in cities, and this number is projected to increase to 4.4bn in the next 10 years. However, such rapid urbanisation will add further pressure on current issues with traffic, environment, and healthcare. In this Podcast we are joined by Dr Andy Chun - a leading Artificial Intelligence pioneer in Hong Kong - to discuss how AI can help cities minimise the burden of constant and inevitable expansion. We also talk about potential challenges that smart cities are likely to face when adopting AI and Machine learning solutions for their daily operations.
