AI doesn't just exist in the lab, it's already solving a range of problems in the real world. In this episode, Hannah encounters a realistic recreation of her voice by WaveNet, the voice synthesising system that powers the Google Assistant and helps people with speech difficulties and illnesses regain their voices. Hannah also discovers how ‘deepfake' technology can be used to improve weather forecasting and how DeepMind researchers are collaborating with Liverpool Football Club, aiming to take sports to the next level. For questions or feedback on the series, message us on Twitter @DeepMind or email podcast@deepmind.com.  Interviewees: DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, Raia Hadsell, Karl Tuyls, Zach Gleicher & Jackson Broshear; Niall Robinson of the UK Met Office CreditsPresenter: Hannah FrySeries Producer: Dan HardoonProduction support: Jill AchinekuSounds design: Emma BarnabyMusic composition: Eleni ShawSound Engineer: Nigel AppletonEditor: David PrestCommissioned by DeepMind Thank you to everyone who made this season possible!  Further reading: A generative model for raw audio, DeepMind: https://deepmind.com/blog/article/wavenet-generative-model-raw-audioWaveNet case study, DeepMind: https://deepmind.com/research/case-studies/wavenetUsing WaveNet technology to reunite speech-impaired users with their original voices, DeepMind:| https://deepmind.com/blog/article/Using-WaveNet-technology-to-reunite-speech-impaired-users-with-their-original-voicesProject Euphonia, Google Research: https://sites.research.google/euphonia/about/Nowcasting the next hour of rain, DeepMind: https://deepmind.com/blog/article/nowcastingNow DeepMind is using AI to transform football, WIRED: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/deepmind-football-liverpool-aiAdvancing sports analytics through AI, DeepMind: https://deepmind.com/blog/article/advancing-sports-analytics-through-aiMetOffice, BBC: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/The village ‘washed on to the map', BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-28523053Michael Fish got the storm of 1987 wrong, Sky News: https://news.sky.com/story/michael-fish-got-the-storm-of-1987-wrong-but-modern-supercomputers-may-have-missed-it-too-11076659#:~:text=In%20a%20lunchtime%20broadcast%20on,%2C%22%20he%20confidently%20told%20viewers.

With schools struggling to recruit and teacher training targets being regularly missed, the TA workforce is surely a resource to be utilised. With over 260,000 TAs in the UK, upskilling just a fraction of these experienced classroom aficionados would help stem the shortage.So what’s the catch? We speak to UCL Institute of Education’s Rob Webster, who leads the Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants initiative, about how TAs can make the step up.We also talk to Niall Robinson, a former TA and now a year-5 teacher, about how he found the transition to qualified teacher status.This sponsored podcast was produced in association with Tes Institute, who have helped many TAs become qualified teachers through their Straight to Teaching course.Find out more about Tes Institute’s Straight to Teaching course here.

Met Office scientists take a lively look at the fascinating history and science of weather and climate research. In this month's episode Mostly Weather returns after a short hiatus to tackle its first climate related topic. Podcast regulars Niall Robinson, Doug McNeall and Claire Witham are joined by climate scientist John Kennedy, an expert on global temperature records. We’ll find out what it takes to measure global temperatures, why they’re such an important piece of evidence in our understanding of climate change, and why buckets turn out to be crucial.

Met Office scientists take a lively look at the fascinating history and science of weather and climate research. Over the last three months we have been taking an in-depth look into the process behind creating a weather forecast - starting at how we take observations of the weather, then on to the creation of the forecast itself and ending, in this episode, with an investigation into how we actually communicate the weather forecast after it is made. Podcast regulars Doug McNeall, Niall Robinson and Jeff Norwood-Brown are joined in this episode by ex-BBC weather presenter, press officer and current operational meteorologist Helen Roberts, to discuss the many different ways that a weather forecast is communicated. As they go on to discover, this part of the process is of extreme importance - as communicating a weather forecast to, for example, the public and the armed forces are two different and unique challenges that each need a specific approach. As Niall eloquently puts it at the beginning of this episode - everything else in the process goes to waste if we don't get this part right!
