  • Into the AI of the storm
    Apr 20 2023

    Everyone’s talking about one thing right now and it’s not the start of the cricket season. It’s AI, and specifically ChatGPT, and even more specifically what universities are going to do about it.

    We got Ed Daniels on the show to try and sort some fact from fiction. Not only has Ed recently won a grant to help him develop his AI detection app "AIED", he's also got wide ranging knowledge of the future of AI and some interesting ideas about how we should be dealing with such fast paced change.

    Come and listen to find out how AI detection works, what the future of AI looks like, and how you can start using ChatGPT to your advantage.

  • What on earth is..?
    Apr 13 2023

    What on earth does net-zero look like? How do we get there? How do you avoid the spiralling doom of climate anxiety? What the hell are Carbon Credits? How much of what we see in the news is just a fad? How much is here to stay? Should we rely on technology or societal change to save us? Why do we care about any of this anyway?


    Sustainability Consultant Barnaby King takes us on a high octane (low-carbon) trip around these massive topics and we come away a little bit wiser, a little bit more focussed, and a little bit more inspired. We hope you do too!
