Series 10, Episode 3 This week's episode is an interview with Dr Anna Denejkina, who's an interdisciplinary researcher and Associate Director at The Insight Centre. We discuss her research on youth engagement with generative AI. The conversation explores the multifaceted impact of AI technology in education, addressing benefits such as upskilling and accessibility, as well as concerns related to academic misconduct, job displacement, and misinformation. Key themes include gender disparity in confidence using AI, the importance of critical and empathetic thinking, and the evolving landscape of education assessments. The dialogue also highlights issues of loneliness, anxiety, and the growing equity gap driven by differences in AI adoption across various educational institutions. Anna talks about her previous research on Young People's Perception and Use of Generative AI, which is a collaboration between The Insight Centre and YouthInsight. Here's a good summary article at The Research Society, and the full research here We also mentioned the STEM tracker research, which is published by the Dept of Industry here You can find all of Anna's research publications here

In this episode of The WTiN Podcast, we talk to Chris White who is the director of Industrial Policy and Insight Centre at The Manufacturing Technology Centre (The MTC).  The MTC was established in 2010 as an independent Research & Technology Organisation (RTO) with the objective of bridging the gap between academia and industry – often referred to as ‘the valley of death'. It represents one of the largest public sector investments in UK manufacturing and provides integrated manufacturing system solutions for customers large and small, across sectors as diverse as automotive, food and drink, textile manufacturing, rail and so on.In this podcast, White talks more about the organisation's capabilities and how it can help businesses maximise supply chains, compete better, reskill and more. We talk about some of the company's case studies such as how it helped the British cushion filling manufacturer Fibreline Ltd minimise waste and boost productivity, and how it helped the vehicle hardware supplier Albert Jagger re-shore its operations. Elsewhere, White gives his views on how innovative manufacturing could be the key to recovery post-Covid-19 and how the UK could once again become ‘the workshop of the world'.

How can we innovate and connect to help make our island economies more sustainable in a post-COVID World? That’s the key question being asked at a free Irish webinar on Wednesday 2nd September from 10 am to 12 pm. The webinar is Ireland’s Virtual Hub event for the 2nd global Virtual Island Summit (VIS), which runs from 7th to 13th September online, involving over 100 island communities. Virtual Island Summit: Creating a sustainable future “Ireland is an island economy with over a dozen populated offshore islands,” says Dr Noirín Burke, of the National Aquarium of Ireland and Irish Ocean Literacy Network, who’s a VIS Ambassador to Ireland. “Islanders work hard to maintain their economies, stay connected and create a sustainable future, something that has been extra challenging this year with Covid-19,” says Dr Burke. Her fellow VIS Ambassador, ex BBC and Irish Times journalist, Trish Hegarty of Inis Communications, says this free online event will explore how islands connect “to each other, to the mainland and to other islands across Europe and the world.” The event is being run by the two VIS Ambassadors in collaboration with Comhdháil Oileáin na hÉireann, which represents offshore islanders. Trish says the participants will get to hear from islanders working in enterprise, economic and community development, and other experts working with island communities in areas like energy, sustainability, technology, and connectivity. “We’ll also have Q&A’s and breakout sessions, so everyone gets a chance to discuss how we can connect better in the future, both locally and globally.” Rhoda Twombly of Comhdháil Oileáin na hÉireann says her members are more than used to connecting online because of their physical distance and separation from the mainland. “But in this time of social distancing and such an uncertain future, it’s more important than ever to strengthen our national and global connections to learn from each other’s experiences.” Virtual Island Summit: Key contributors Contributors to the event include: Forbes Top 30 under 30 innovators, James Ellsmoor, the founder of VIS; Offshore islanders Rhoda Twombly and John Walsh of Comhdháil Oileáin na hÉireann (Irish Islands Federation) The European Small Islands Federation ESIN; Cathy Ní Ghóill, Manager of Comharchumann Forbartha Arann, Máirtín Ó Méalóid, manager of Cape Clear Island Cooperative, Vice Chair of Comhdháil Oileáin na hÉireann; UCC researcher Dr. Sarah Robinson, who’s working with island communities on Bere, Sherkin and Cape Clear as they establish community radio; Simon Cocking, Chief Editor of Irish Tech News; Brendan Smith, Education and Public Engagement Officer at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics; Aine Ryan, an award-winning journalist based in Westport, County Mayo, interested in rural issues & peripheral communities.

Barry Smyth is a data scientist. Early on in the outbreak, he was among the first to realise the importance of looking closely at the number of excess deaths in the population, as revealed by website Rip.ie, to track the true toll of the virus. Since then, he has written about the nature of lockdown measures imposed across Europe, as revealed through data.  Which countries are strictest, and what happens to the virus when people start moving about again? Barry talks to Deirdre Veldon about what the data reveals. Barry Smyth holds the Digital Chair of Computer Science in University College Dublin and is a Director of the Insight Centre for Data Analytics.

In this revolution, the consumers are the drivers and technology is the equalizer.” - Dr. Basil Harris Dr. Basil Harris is CEO and founder of Basil Leaf Technologies www.basilleaftech.com Basil and his team were inspired by Star Trek to create a tricorder, a portable Ai device that could tell whether you had pneumonia or diabetes or a dozen other conditions all by yourself. This is like the one waved around by Dr. McCoy on the Star Ship Enterprise. With it, people can monitor their own blood pressure, heart rate and other health vitals. Basil emphasizes how this device is to free up doctors and health practitioners, not to replace them.
