Podcasts about Bletchley

Welcome to another Rail Safety Review, and yes, despite the joys of a strep throat and a voice that sounds like it's been dragged through ballast, Dan is back to talk trains.This week we're diving into the chaos that's been brewing recently on the West Coast Main Line—a derailment near Bletchley, a buffer bump at Euston, trees taking down wires, freight trains giving up the ghost, and more disruption than you can shake a track circuit at. Safe to say, it's not been a great run up North.We also get an inside look at the new branding for Signals to Danger, as Dan shares the story behind the podcast's visual overhaul, why now was the right time for a refresh, and what remains unchanged at the heart of the show.

Khai mạc Tuần lễ Công nghệ Luân Đôn (London Tech Week 09-13/06/2025), thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer tuyên bố mở ra một chương mới, trong đó trí tuệ nhân tạo là trọng tâm, cho ngành công nghệ cao của Vương quốc Anh. Chính phủ công bố bản tổng dự toán chi tiêu công quốc gia giai đoạn 2025-2030, với con số khổng lồ là 86 tỷ bảng Anh (116 tỷ đô la) dành cho các ngành công nghệ cao, giáo dục và trí tuệ nhân tạo AI. Vậy tham vọng của Luân Đôn là gì và cơ hội nào để Anh Quốc trở thành cường quốc về ‘trí tuệ nhân tạo'? Tường thuật của thông tín viên tại Luân Đôn Nguyễn Giang.  Nguyễn Giang : Trước tiên xin giải thích rõ hơn về các con số lớn mà chính phủ Anh đưa ra để đầu tư vào phát triển công nghệ cao, gọi chung là R&D (Research & Development – Nghiên cứu và Phát triển sản phẩm mới). Khoản chi của ngân sách hàng năm từ nay đến năm 2029-2030 là 22,6 tỷ bảng, và đến cuối nhiệm kỳ Quốc Hội này, tổng mức sẽ là 86 tỷ bảng Anh, tương đương 116 tỷ đô la Mỹ. Trong các lĩnh vực, ưu tiên hàng đầu là nghiên cứu và phát triển các cơ sở trí tuệ nhân tạo (Artificial Intelligence – AI) để ứng dụng ngay vào giáo dục, đào tạo nguồn nhân lực, công nghệ tài chính (fintech). Ngoài ra, AI cũng sẽ được đưa vào như một giải pháp công nghệ nhằm giảm chi phí dài hạn cho y tế, quốc phòng và an ninh biên giới. Tôi sẽ nói rõ hơn về các ngành kỹ thuật, bộ môn khoa học, công nghệ nhận được khoản đầu tư lớn sau, nhưng tổng thể thì thông điệp của chính phủ Starmer là muốn tạo ra sự thay đổi cả về lượng và chất để đưa Anh trở thành một cường quốc hàng đầu trong cạnh tranh quốc tế về công nghệ cao và AI. RFI: Cụ thể hơn, Anh Quốc muốn chi tiền vào lĩnh vực nào và đặt ra các mục tiêu cụ thể ra sao? Nguyễn Giang : Về giáo dục, riêng khoản tiền dành cho ứng dụng AI trong giảng dạy và đào tạo nhân công có khả năng sử dụng trí tuệ nhân tạo là 2 tỷ bảng mỗi năm. Anh muốn thúc đẩy dự án AI trong giáo dục từ trung học tới đại học và sau đại học nhằm huấn luyện kỹ năng AI cho hơn 7 triệu nhân công (được hiểu là thế hệ trẻ) và đào tạo 1 triệu kỹ sư chuyên về AI trong 5 năm tới. Ngân sách dành cho y tế công (National Health Service – NHS) là 10 tỷ bảng để hiện đại hóa công nghệ và chuyển đổi sang công nghệ kỹ thuật số từ nay đến 2028-2029. Xin nhắc lại, ngân sách y tế công hiện đã là 29 tỷ bảng, nên khoản đầu tư thêm vào công nghệ cao cho y tế là rất lớn. Luân Đôn cũng sẽ hỗ trợ các công ty khởi nghiệp bằng cách điều chỉnh quy định tài chính để các ngân hàng thử nghiệm AI trong lĩnh vực fintech. Một số ngân hàng như HSBC đã sử dụng AI từ lâu, nhưng tổng thể thì thị trường fintech của Anh đã trở thành một lĩnh vực rất lớn, với hàng nghìn công ty, thu hút hàng tỷ đô la đầu tư, chủ yếu phục vụ doanh nghiệp và thương mại quốc tế, hơn là phục vụ người dân. Chính phủ muốn số hóa dịch vụ khách hàng, triển khai mạnh các ứng dụng ngân hàng (in-bank app) thay thế dịch vụ truyền thống dùng giấy tờ và thư bưu điện. Điều đáng chú ý là chính phủ Anh nói họ sẽ đầu tư vào AI để giải quyết nhanh hơn các hồ sơ xin tỵ nạn, tăng tốc thủ tục trục xuất người trượt tị nạn. Bộ trưởng Tài Chính Rachel Reeves cho biết, chỉ riêng việc nâng cao hiệu quả xử lý giấy tờ cư trú, tị nạn sẽ giúp tiết kiệm ngân sách khoảng 1 tỷ bảng khi chương trình này hoàn tất. Gần 300 triệu bảng cũng sẽ được đầu tư vào Bộ Tư lệnh An Ninh Biên Giới (thành lập năm 2024) và các đơn vị biên phòng của Anh sẽ sử dụng AI để nâng cao hiệu quả trong việc ngăn chặn người nhập cư trái phép. Thêm vào đó, Anh Quốc cũng sẽ tiến hành nghiên cứu chế tạo vũ khí sử dụng AI nhằm đảm bảo an ninh quốc gia và an ninh châu Âu. RFI : Để thực hiện các mục tiêu này, chính phủ Anh sẽ phải làm gì? Chiến lược của họ là gì? Nguyễn Giang : Chiến lược của Anh là “dựa trên vai của những người khổng lồ”. Trong Tuần lễ Công nghệ Luân Đôn, đã có hàng trăm công ty tham dự, gồm các tập đoàn công nghệ hàng đầu thế giới như Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud và NVIDIA. Ngay trong buổi khai mạc, thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer đã đứng cạnh ông Jensen Huang (Hoàng Nhân Huân), tỷ phú Mỹ gốc Đài Loan, chủ hãng Nvidia. Ông Jensen Huang khen Anh có “hệ sinh thái tuyệt vời cho công nghệ trí tuệ nhân tạo”, nhưng còn thiếu cơ sở hạ tầng. Cụ thể, ông Jensen Huang cho biết Anh có các trường đại học hàng đầu thế giới, các nhà sáng chế, các nhà tư tưởng, và các công ty startup trong môi trường lý tưởng, nhưng thiếu một thứ quan trọng nhất là cơ sở hạ tầng cho AI. Ông cam kết sẽ đầu tư vào lĩnh vực này tại Anh, nhằm đáp ứng sự đón nhận tích cực từ công chúng dự hội nghị London Tech Week. Ngay lập tức, Anh Quốc sẽ dùng 10 nghìn GPU (xử lý đồ họa) của Nvidia để xây dựng một trung tâm dữ liệu lớn, phục vụ hạ tầng AI tại Loughton, Essex, phía Đông Luân Đôn. Tuy nhiên, cách làm của Anh không dựa vào một hoặc hai công ty lớn, mà phân chia thị phần cho nhiều doanh nghiệp của Mỹ, Hà Lan, và các quốc gia khác tham gia. Ví dụ, Vantage Data Centres sẽ xây dựng một trung tâm dữ liệu tại xứ Wales; Latos Data Centres của tỷ phú người Anh Mike Carlin cũng sẽ xây dựng trung tâm ở Wales; tập đoàn Kyndryl thành lập trung tâm tại Liverpool; trong khi Nscale (dùng GPU của Nvidia) sẽ đầu tư 2,5 tỷ USD để phát triển mạng lưới dữ liệu toàn quốc. Tham vọng của Anh là đến năm 2030, sẽ có tới 40 trung tâm dữ liệu chuyên về AI trên khắp đất nước. RFI: Vì sao chính phủ của đảng Lao Động muốn thúc đẩy số hóa và áp dụng trí tuệ nhân tạo vào thời điểm này? Nguyễn Giang : Ở đây chúng ta cần nhìn bức tranh toàn cảnh quốc tế, gồm mối quan hệ Anh – Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Anh – Hoa Kỳ sau Brexit. Ngoài lý do rõ ràng là AI ngày càng đóng vai trò then chốt trong nền kinh tế và giáo dục, còn có hai vấn đề lớn đặt ra thách thức cho Anh. Một, là thiếu hệ sinh thái hạ tầng tốt cho R&D. Nhiều nhà khoa học Anh đã từng đoạt giải Nobel, sở hữu các phát minh, sáng chế hàng đầu thế giới trong di truyền học, y sinh, điện toán, nhưng thiếu hệ sinh thái để biến các ý tưởng, bằng sáng chế thành sản phẩm thương mại. Nhiều nhà khoa học này buộc phải sang Mỹ, hoặc hợp tác với các đại học, tập đoàn công nghệ của Mỹ để phát triển sản phẩm. Chính sách của Anh nhằm xây dựng các trung tâm công nghệ như Hành lang Oxford-Cambridge nhằm kết nối các đại học danh tiếng, tạo ra sức mạnh về nghiên cứu và đổi mới sáng tạo (critical mass). Trước đó, ngành xe hơi chạy động cơ điện (EV) cũng cần hạ tầng số, vệ tinh dân sự, AI, nhưng tới nay, Anh mới bắt đầu thử nghiệm xe tự lái và dự kiến đến 2027 mới chính thức cho xe tự lái hoạt động trên đường. Hai, là yếu tố địa chính trị. Tháng 2/2025, Pháp khai mạc Hội nghị về Trí tuệ Nhân tạo (AI Summit) và cam kết đầu tư hơn 100 tỷ euro vào AI, mong muốn dẫn đầu khối Liên Âu trong lĩnh vực này. Bruxelles còn hứa sẽ chi 200 tỷ euro cho AI. Trong khi đó, Hoa Kỳ dưới thời Donald Trump muốn bỏ ra hơn 500 tỷ đô la để dẫn đầu cuộc đua AI. Tuy nhiên, cả Anh và Mỹ đều từ chối ký Tuyên bố chung Paris về AI tại Paris vài tháng trước. Như vậy, Luân Đôn đã chọn hướng đi riêng, muốn có chủ quyền về AI (AI sovereignty) và không muốn bị Châu Âu kiểm soát chặt chẽ. Tổng thể, Anh mong muốn có một vị trí vững chắc trong lĩnh vực đổi mới sáng tạo AI toàn cầu – của Mỹ, Trung Quốc và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Để đạt được điều đó, Anh Quốc sẽ kết nối với Hoa Kỳ qua các hệ thống cáp dưới biển, tăng cường khả năng tính toán của các trung tâm dữ liệu và mở rộng hợp tác quốc tế trong lĩnh vực AI và công nghệ cao. Trong bức tranh lớn, các ngành công nghệ của Vương quốc Anh đã đạt giá trị thị trường tổng hợp lên tới 1,2 nghìn tỷ đô la vào năm 2025, đứng vị trí số một trong hệ sinh thái công nghệ châu Âu. Tuy nhiên, nếu không tăng cường đầu tư, Anh Quốc sẽ gặp khó khăn cạnh tranh với các quốc gia như Pháp, Đức, Hà Lan, các nước châu Á và Mỹ, Trung Quốc. Năm 2023, Anh đã tổ chức Hội nghị về quản trị toàn cầu của AI tại Bletchley (tham khảo Bletchley Declaration on Frontier AI and AI Governance), nhấn mạnh nhu cầu quản lý, xây dựng khung pháp lý để giảm thiểu các rủi ro do công nghệ AI gây ra. Hiện nay, thái độ của chính giới Luân Đôn đã hướng tới đổi mới, sẵn sàng chấp nhận rủi ro để thúc đẩy sự phát triển của các sản phẩm, kinh tế và tăng trưởng. AI đang được xem là điểm mấu chốt để tạo đà phát triển cho kinh tế Anh trong những năm tới. Khả năng thành công của chiến lược này còn phụ thuộc vào thực tế và còn phải chờ xem.

Some of the wealthiest tech entrepreneurs share a vision of life beyond the horizon. They see a future for humankind that abandons our tired, dirty planet and creates new colonies of health and creativity on the Moon, on Mars or even further into deep space. Is this a wise precaution for all our futures or an insurance policy for the super-wealthy as they continue to trash our home planet? Tom Heap and Helen Czerski are joined by British astronaut, Tim Peake to consider the big moral questions of space colonisation and the practical problems of devising ways to make the best of the extraordinary possibilities of space without increasing the pressure on Earth's resources. If we do colonise another planet how do we avoid making the same mistakes again? How do we grow food and find or produce freshwater? How can we travel to, from and around these planets without burning more fossil fuels? Could the answers help us all live a better life right here, right now? Joining Helen, Tom and Tim in studio are Eloise Marais, who leads the Atmospheric Composition and Air Quality research group at University College London and co-chair of the Environmental Task Force at Space Scotland, Andrew Fournet, and Tom pays a visit to a company in Bletchley who are developing nuclear fusion propulsion.Producer: Alasdair Cross Assistant Producer: Toby FieldProduced in association with the Open University

Desde a adoção em massa da inteligência artificial (IA) no final de 2022, motivada pelo lançamento do ChatGPT, regular o uso e desenvolvimento da tecnologia passou a ser prioridade para a comunidade global, ainda que as discussões mais relevantes sobre o tema tenham sido iniciadas alguns anos antes, a exemplo do primeiro esboço do AI Act da União Europeia (EU), divulgado em 2021. EUA, China, Reino Unido e mais 25 países anunciaram um acordo internacional que tem como objetivo regular sistemas de inteligência artificial (IA) considerados de ponta. O documento, batizado de Declaração de Bletchley, coloca como principais objetivos “identificar riscos de segurança da IA de preocupação compartilhada”, usando como base evidências científicas para compreender o impacto na sociedade, além de “construir as respectivas políticas baseadas em riscos em nossos países para garantir segurança”. No Brasil, está em discussão no Congresso o Projeto de Lei nº 2.338, de 2023, que disciplina o desenvolvimento e uso da inteligência artificial no país. Para tanto, foi criada no Senado uma comissão sobre inteligência artificial, com espaço para os diversos setores exporem suas preocupações.  Entre os principais pontos, o texto restringe o uso de câmeras instaladas pelas secretarias de segurança pública para reconhecimento facial indiscriminado de pessoas que circulam nas ruas. Também veda a implementação de modelos de “ranqueamento social”, usado pela China, em que cada cidadão recebe uma pontuação de acordo com seu comportamento nas redes sociais e a nota serve para assegurar ou não acesso a recursos públicos. No ‘Estadão Notícias' de hoje, a gente debate esse tema com o editor do ‘Link', Bruno Romani. O ‘Estadão Notícias' está disponível no Spotify, Deezer, Apple Podcasts, Google podcasts, ou no agregador de podcasts de sua preferência.

Début novembre, lors d'un sommet à Londres, 28 gouvernements ont signé une déclaration de coopération pour évaluer les dangers potentiels derrière l'intelligence artificielle. Cette «déclaration de Bletchley» déclare que l'IA «présente d'énormes opportunités», mais doit être développée d'une manière «centrée sur l'humain, digne de confiance et responsable». Pour comprendre où on s'en va, regardons d'où nous venons. Quelle est l'histoire de l'IA? Comment en moins d'un siècle, ce qui semblait totalement impossible s'impose partout dans nos technologies? Faut-il faire marche arrière?

From the twentieth century onward, women took on an extraordinary range of roles in intelligence, defying the conventions of their time. Across both world wars, far from being a small part of covert operations, women ran spy networks and escape lines, parachuted behind enemy lines, and interrogated prisoners. And, back in Bletchley and Whitehall, women's vital administrative work in MI offices kept the British war engine running. In this major, panoramic history, Helen Fry looks at the rich and varied work women undertook as civilians and in uniform. From spies in the Belgian network “La Dame Blanche,” knitting coded messages into jumpers, to those who interpreted aerial images and even ran entire sections, Fry shows just how crucial women were in the intelligence mission. Filled with hitherto unknown stories, Women in Intelligence: The Hidden History of Two World Wars (Yale UP, 2023) places new research on record for the first time and showcases the inspirational contributions of these remarkable women.

Bletchley Park - the once top-secret home of the World War Two codebreakers, including Alan Turing - has this week hosted Rishi Sunak's UK AI safety summit. It could help position Britain as a world leader on AI regulation, as governments seek to take back control over how the technology is developed and used, to prevent abuse. On the Sky News Daily, presenter Sally Lockwood looks at the risks and concerns AI poses, speaking to Professor Stuart Russell, a member of the World Economic Forum's Global AI Council. Plus, what was the point of Sunak's AI summit? Technology correspondent Arthi Nachiappan joins Sally from Bletchley to unpick the PM's ambitions.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Bletchley Declaration on AI Safety, published by Hauke Hillebrandt on November 1, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Bletchley Declaration was just released at the At AI Safety Summit. Tl;dr: The declaration underscores the transformative potential and risks of AI. Countries, including major global powers, commit to harnessing AI's benefits while addressing its challenges, especially the dangers of advanced "frontier" AI models. Emphasizing international collaboration, the declaration calls for inclusive, human-centric, and responsible AI development. Participants advocate for transparency, research, and shared understanding of AI safety risks, with plans to reconvene in 2024. Full text: Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents enormous global opportunities: it has the potential to transform and enhance human wellbeing, peace and prosperity. To realise this, we affirm that, for the good of all, AI should be designed, developed, deployed, and used, in a manner that is safe, in such a way as to be human-centric, trustworthy and responsible. We welcome the international community's efforts so far to cooperate on AI to promote inclusive economic growth, sustainable development and innovation, to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, and to foster public trust and confidence in AI systems to fully realise their potential. AI systems are already deployed across many domains of daily life including housing, employment, transport, education, health, accessibility, and justice, and their use is likely to increase. We recognise that this is therefore a unique moment to act and affirm the need for the safe development of AI and for the transformative opportunities of AI to be used for good and for all, in an inclusive manner in our countries and globally. This includes for public services such as health and education, food security, in science, clean energy, biodiversity, and climate, to realise the enjoyment of human rights, and to strengthen efforts towards the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Alongside these opportunities, AI also poses significant risks, including in those domains of daily life. To that end, we welcome relevant international efforts to examine and address the potential impact of AI systems in existing fora and other relevant initiatives, and the recognition that the protection of human rights, transparency and explainability, fairness, accountability, regulation, safety, appropriate human oversight, ethics, bias mitigation, privacy and data protection needs to be addressed. We also note the potential for unforeseen risks stemming from the capability to manipulate content or generate deceptive content. All of these issues are critically important and we affirm the necessity and urgency of addressing them. Particular safety risks arise at the 'frontier' of AI, understood as being those highly capable general-purpose AI models, including foundation models, that could perform a wide variety of tasks - as well as relevant specific narrow AI that could exhibit capabilities that cause harm - which match or exceed the capabilities present in today's most advanced models. Substantial risks may arise from potential intentional misuse or unintended issues of control relating to alignment with human intent. These issues are in part because those capabilities are not fully understood and are therefore hard to predict. We are especially concerned by such risks in domains such as cybersecurity and biotechnology, as well as where frontier AI systems may amplify risks such as disinformation. There is potential for serious, even catastrophic, harm, either deliberate or unintentional, stemming from the most significant capabilities of these AI models. Given the rapid and uncertain rate of change of AI, and in the context of the...

The Partnership on AI was launched back in September 2016, during an earlier flurry of interest in AI, as a forum for the tech giants to meet leaders from academia, the media, and what used to be called pressure groups and are now called civil society. By 2019 more than 100 of those organisations had joined.The founding tech giants were Amazon, Facebook, Google, DeepMind, Microsoft, and IBM. Apple joined a year later and Baidu joined in 2018.Our guest in this episode is Rebecca Finlay, who joined the PAI board in early 2020 and was appointed CEO in October 2021. Rebecca is a Canadian who started her career in banking, and then led marketing and policy development groups in a number of Canadian healthcare and scientific research organisations.In the run-up to the Bletchley Park Global Summit on AI, the Partnership on AI has launched a set of guidelines to help the companies that are developing advanced AI systems and making them available to you and me. Rebecca will be addressing the delegates at Bletchley, and no doubt hoping that the summit will establish the PAI guidelines as the basis for global self-regulation of the AI industry.Selected follow-ups:https://partnershiponai.org/https://partnershiponai.org/team/#rebecca-finlay-staffhttps://partnershiponai.org/modeldeployment/An open event at Wilton Hall, Bletchley, the afternoon before the Bletchley Park AI Safety Summit starts: https://lu.ma/n9qmn4h6Music: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

This is the second episode in which we discuss the upcoming Global AI Safety Summit taking place on 1st and 2nd of November at Bletchley Park in England.We are delighted to have as our guest in this episode one of the hundred or so people who will attend that summit – Connor Leahy, a German-American AI researcher and entrepreneur.In 2020 he co-founded Eleuther AI, a non-profit research institute which has helped develop a number of open source models, including Stable Diffusion. Two years later he co-founded Conjecture, which aims to scale AI alignment research. Conjecture is a for-profit company, but the focus is still very much on figuring out how to ensure that the arrival of superintelligence is beneficial to humanity, rather than disastrous.Selected follow-ups:https://www.conjecture.dev/https://www.linkedin.com/in/connor-j-leahy/https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-safety-summit-programme/ai-safety-summit-day-1-and-2-programmehttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-safety-summit-introduction/ai-safety-summit-introduction-htmlAn open event at Wilton Hall, Bletchley, the afternoon before the AI Safety Summit starts: https://www.meetup.com/london-futurists/events/296765860/Music: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

The launch of GPT-4 on the 14th of March this year was shocking as well as exciting. ChatGPT had been released the previous November, and became the fastest-growing app ever. But GPT-4's capabilities were a level beyond, and it provoked remarkable comments from people who had previously said little about the future of AI. In May, Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak described superintelligence as an existential risk to humanity. A year ago, it would have been inconceivable for the leader of a major country to say such a thing.The following month, in June, Sunak announced that a global summit on AI safety would be held in November at the historically resonant venue of Bletchley Park, the stately home where during World War Two, Alan Turing and others cracked the German Enigma code, and probably shortened the war by many months.Despite the fact that AI is increasingly humanity's most powerful technology, there is not yet an established forum for world leaders to discuss its longer term impacts, including accelerating automation, extended longevity, and the awesome prospect of superintelligence. The world needs its leaders to engage in a clear-eyed, honest, and well-informed discussion of these things.The summit is scheduled for the 1st and 2nd of November, and Matt Clifford, the CEO of the high-profile VC firm Entrepreneur First, has taken a sabbatical to help prepare it.To help us all understand what the summit might achieve, the guest in this episode is Ollie Buckley.Ollie studied PPE at Oxford, and was later a policy fellow at Cambridge. After six years as a strategy consultant with Monitor, he spent a decade as a civil servant, developing digital technology policy in the Cabinet Office and elsewhere. Crucially, from 2018 to 2021 he was the founding Executive Director of the UK government's original AI governance advisory body, the Centre for Data Ethics & Innovation (CDEI), where he led some of the original policy development regarding the regulation of AI and data-driven technologies. Since then, he has been advising tech companies, civil society and international organisations on AI policy as a consultant.Selected follow-ups:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ollie-buckley-10064b/https://www.publicaffairsnetworking.com/news/tech-policy-consultancy-boosts-data-and-ai-offer-with-senior-hirehttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-safety-summit-programme/ai-safety-summit-day-1-and-2-programmehttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-safety-summit-introduction/ai-safety-summit-introduction-htmlAn open event at Wilton Hall, Bletchley, the afternoon before the AI Safety Summit starts: https://www.meetup.com/london-futurists/events/296765860/Music: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

Bletchley Park, Britain's secret centre of code breaking housed the finest minds of a generation, and has always been perceived as a predominately male institution.Countless books, films and documentaries have paid tribute to the genius of eccentric code-breakers like Alan Turing, widely regarded to have brought the war to a premature end by cracking the infamous Nazi Enigma encryptions, but little has been said of the quietly formidable women of Bletchley Park.By 1944, Bletchley had over 8,000 personnel – 75 per cent of them women. These women, who outnumbered the men three to one, formed the backbone of the entire operation. Women like Charlotte ‘Betty' Webb, a former Bletchley park codebreaker. I went to visit Betty at her home in Worcestershire and was charmed by this lively, whip-smart 100-year-old. Betty is full of surprising stories about her time at Bletchley, or as she described it ‘Britain's Wartime University'. Rather than jitterbugging with a GI at London's teeming dancehalls, on her leave weekends, Betty would head instead to an Indian restaurant for a curry. "Unusual, but so much nicer than boiled beef and beetroot',' she told me. This episode is full of fascinating tales of her time at Bletchley and after VE Day, her experiences of working in the Pentagon in Washington.

There's a part of modern warfare that is often overlooked by the people on the ground, and that's the communications systems feeding them information. A war can't be fought without orders, and where there's a messenger, there's an enemy looking to find out what he's up to.When Australia joined the WWII efforts on Sept 1, 1939, we didn't have a cryptanalyst team, or anything remotely resembling a Bond/Borne/Reacher team of sleuths and codebreakers. But within 3 years, we were out there teaching the rest of the world how it was done. It was thanks to a group of people stationed across Australia - in Melbourne, Brisbane, Townsville, Darwin and other places - that helped the Americans seek vengeance for Pearl Harbor, strike back against the intended invasions, and start intercepting the Japanese fleets closer and closer to home.But for 30 years, these people were hidden from society, their achievements unrecognised and shredded like 1970s paperwork; some would argue they still are.Join Holly and Matthew as they look into Australia's own version of Bletchley Park and Alan Turing, or the Manhattan Project and Oppenheimer, complete with geniuses ahead of their time, abandoned and treated like crap after the War by governments desperate to bury their history.

Betty Webb is one of the last surviving women to have worked on cracking both the German and Japanese codes at Bletchley Park during World War 2. She attended Queen Elizabeth's Coronation in 1953 - and has been invited to this weekend's coronation of King Charles III. A week later she will celebrate her 100th Birthday with a party at Bletchley park. Her new book 'No More Secrets' tells the story of her childhood, recruitment to Bletchley and then the pentagon, her vital wartime role deciphering enemy communications, and how it felt to eventually be able to talk about her experiences which she had to keep secret for years. Today's Martha Kearney speaks to Betty Webb about the memoir and her invite to the coronation.

Bletchley Park, Britain's key decryption centre during WWI, is known for the success of breaking the Nazi Enigma codes - experts have suggested that the Bletchley Park codebreakers may have shortened the war by as much as two years.David Kenyon is the research historian at Bletchley Park. Recorded at the grounds, David and Dan walk through Bletchley's latest exhibition, The Intelligence Factory. They uncover hidden stories from the height of Bletchley's wartime operations and discuss the codebreakers' significant contribution to the allied victory of the Battle of the Atlantic.Produced by Mariana Des ForgesMixed and Mastered by Dougal PatmoreIf you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!
