This week, we sit down with the UK’s Minister for AI & Digital, Feryal Clark, to ask the big questions: Why is the government investing billions in artificial intelligence? Why is Scotland at the centre of it all? And most importantly — what’s in it for the public? From supercomputers in Edinburgh to AI tools tackling cancer and climate change, we explore the real purpose behind the UK's AI revolution.

As always we’ll also be unpacking the latest AI news, taking a listener question and facing off in a tense AI Challenge.

Whether you’re an AI optimist, sceptic, or just tuning in for the absurdity, this episode unpacks what’s driving Britain’s boldest tech leap yet— while keeping you entertained with news and playful banter.

AI might help you write emails and plan dinner—but is it secretly cooking the climate while it's at it? In this eye-opening episode, we dig into AI’s hidden environmental cost with not one but two top experts: Dr. Felicia Lu and Noman Bashier. From energy-sucking data centers to cooling systems draining water from drought-stricken areas, the impact is bigger—and murkier—than you think.

But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. We also unpack the bizarre AI experiment that ended with a fridge full of metal cubes, ask if the first AI-made trillionaire is coding from their mum’s basemen AND revisit the mystery of the AI band Velvet Sundown and its synth-pop soul

Tennis fans, cover your ears—Wimbledon just sacked its 147-year-old line judge tradition in favour of AI! That’s right, over 200 humans out, cold robotic accuracy in. Meanwhile, at Glastonbury, we’re wondering: is it only a matter of time before an AI act headlines the Pyramid Stage? And straight from the main stage, we're even hearing from Jarvis Cocker with his thoughts on the use of AI.

As always, we're bringing you the biggest and weirdest AI news:

• Microsoft’s new AI doctor that scores 8/10 while human medics only manage a 2/10.

• A man gets scammed by AI-generated Jennifer Aniston asking for Apple gift cards. No, really.

• AI-enhanced four-day workweeks

• Listener Libby asks: “Will AI be playing Glasto?” We dive in and name-drop the Velvet Sundown , a mysterious AI band making waves on Spotify.

Our guest is the fabulous Tara Thompson—AI educator, workshop wizard, and inclusivity advocate—who’s using tech to level the playing field for neurodivergent users and beyond. She shares why we all need to read (or AI-summarise) those Terms & Conditions, what red flags to watch for, and how to make AI actually inclusive. It all starts with US.

And of course, this week’s AI Challenge gets lyrical as George and James try to spot which poem is from ChatGPT, and which won second prize at the National Poetry Competition. It gets emotional. Like, “fluorescent tube thrown like a javelin” emotional.
