In this episode, host Henrike Tönnes talks to Prof. Dr. Bilal Zafar, Professor of Computer Science at Ruhr University Bochum and an expert in trustworthy data science. Drawing on his experience in academia and industry, Prof. Zafar provides valuable insights into one of the most pressing questions of our time. Is AI fair? Together, they explore the concept of unconscious bias in AI systems, examining how it creeps into training data, design decisions and large language models such as ChatGPT. What does bias in AI really look like? Who is affected? And, most importantly: Can it be fixed? The conversation also explores the role of synthetic data and testing methodologies for bias detection, as well as the shared responsibility of tech companies, researchers and policymakers in developing trustworthy AI systems.

As the UK works toward a fully decarbonised power system by 2035, one thing is clear: hitting climate targets will require a more flexible electricity system. But that flexibility won't just come from utility-scale batteries or grid-scale innovation. It will need support from consumers, households, businesses, and communities that can shift, shape, and reduce their electricity use.In this episode of Transmission, Ed Porter is joined by Marzia Zafar, Deputy Director of Governance for Data & Digitalization at Ofgem, to explore why consumer flexibility is no longer just a nice-to-have, it's now essential for grid stability, cost efficiency, and net-zero progress.We dig into the economics behind demand-side response, the role of price signals and digital infrastructure, and the policy decisions needed to unlock this potential at scale. Whether you're a system operator, innovator, or just trying to understand what demand flexibility actually means, this conversation is packed with insight.In this episode you'll learn:Why demand-side flexibility matters now more than ever, and how it supports both consumers and the system.The practical and policy steps needed to scale flexibility across millions of homes and businesses.How real-time price signals and automation can help shift consumer load and reduce system costs.The regulatory shift underway at Ofgem, and why this matters for innovators and aggregators.Why enabling consumer flexibility is a ‘no regrets' decision for a decarbonised energy future.About our guestMarzia Zafar is Deputy Director of Strategy and Decarbonisation at Ofgem, the UK's energy regulator. With nearly three decades of experience across policy, utilities, and innovation, Marzia has worked on both sides of the Atlantic to design regulatory frameworks that support the clean energy transition.

Aap Hajj par nahi gaye... Toh kya Arafah aur uske baad ke dinon ki fazeelat se aap mehroom ho gaye? Kya ye din bhi aap sirf TV par Hajj ka manzar dekh kar, ya Eid ki shopping kar ke guzaar denge? Ye din — Arafah se le kar Tashreeq tak — aise a'maal aur mauqon se bhare hue hain jo aapke Imaan ko roshan, aur aapke nama-e-a'maal ko bhaari kar sakte hain. Wo a'maal kya hain? Kaunse amal ghayr-haaji afraad ke liye zariya-e-najat ban sakte hain? Aaiye, is dars mein jaante hain.

In this episode of After Maghrib, we sit down with Sayed Zafar Abbas to explore the provocative and pressing question of religious pluralism through a Shi‘i theological lens. Is Islam's finality compatible with the salvation of others? Can divine justice accommodate those who never encountered the Imamate? We navigate tensions between exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism—drawing from Qur'anic verses, classical scholars like al-‘Allama al-Hilli, and contemporary thought. From metaphysics to modernity, we ask whether the Shia tradition has something unique to offer today's interfaith world. A conversation for seekers, skeptics, and everyone in between.

Is it really a serious issue if we add to the religion what is not from it? Is there really such a thing as a bid'ah hasanah? A good innovation? Did the Prophet clearly and categorically warn us against every kind of bid'ah or just a few of them? Are all the Islamic speakers going to be reliable till the Day of Judgement? Brace yourselves as Shaykh Zafar Ul-Hasan responds to these misconceptions in light of the Qur'aan, the Sunnah & the statements of the sahaabah, destroying these doubts from the ground up.

Is prostrating to someone other than Allah a major sin or an act of Kufr (disbelief)? Is bowing to someone as a sign of greeting or respect considered an act of Sajdah? In this episode, Shaikh Zafar ul-Hasan Madani delves into the issue of prostrating to other than Allah. Drawing from hadith, textual sources, and the consensus of scholars (Ijma'), he clarifies when such actions constitute a major sin and when they lead to disbelief. Additionally, the Shaikh responds to the arguments of those who suggest that making Sajdah to figures like the Prophets, the Awliyaa, and righteous individuals is permissible based on the practices of the former generations.

Have you searched endlessly for days and weeks for a microsurgeon to perform breast reconstruction? Access to care is a real concern for patients who are affected by breast cancer. Finding a plastic surgeon who specializes in tissue reconstruction in the area you live in is not always a service afforded to all patients. Traveling for breast reconstruction is not out of the ordinary. It was something I did myself for my DIEP flap. I want to bring awareness to microsurgical services in various geographic areas and interview surgeons to help patients who are looking for a reconstructive surgeon. I am introducing a new surgeon to our listeners. I hope this helps streamline the time you are taking during an already challenging time in your life. Dr. Sarosh Zafar is a double board-certified microsurgeon in plastic and reconstructive surgery and general surgery. She specializes in the most advanced methods of breast reconstruction, complex reconstruction, and microsurgery. Dr. Zafar joined the team of pioneering surgeons at (CRBS) the Center for Restorative Breast Surgery and the St. Charles Surgical Hospital in 2021. She practices in the state of Louisianna but takes patients from across the U.S. and the world. Dr. Zafar shares why she chose the field of plastic and reconstructive breast surgery. She tells us the services provided at CRBS highlighting the value of the co-surgeon model in breast reconstruction surgery. Dr. Zafar shares the pathways to find her services both at CRBS and IFAR (Institute for Advanced Reconstruction), part of the Advanced Reconstructive Surgery Alliance (ARSA) network of surgeons. Her compassionate comment at the end of the podcast will benefit patients listening. “If patients have any questions, never hesitate. That would be my number one message. Always ask. Always ask us for clarification. It can be a very confusing, intimidating process, but that's what we're here for to help figure everything out and help you get the best outcome that we can.” Links to find Dr. Sarosh Zafar: Center for Restorative Breast Surgery (CBRS) The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction (IFAR) (IFAR) Patient Portal to Schedule an appointment: tel:1-833-887-2417 Social Media Links for Dr. Sarosh Zafar: Dr. Sarosh Zafar: LinkedIn Facebook: Center for Restorative Breast Surgery Instagram: Breast Center NOLA
