‘Weird Science’… an 1985 movie (remember Kelly LeBrock?) and also and accurate title for this chat. Patrick and Tor are back and this time we talk about the mental, emotional and social consequences of people staring at phones (and ignoring the people around them) in social situations, the potential role of artificial intelligence in hair regeneration, faecal transplants (poo therapy, of sorts), a new male contraceptive (ouch), a new technique for same sex conception for men, technology that lets us ‘speak’ to our dead relatives (kind of), a system that allows users to communicate with others remotely while embodying a humanoid robot (I was confused too), headlights that see around corners and mind-reading AI. Enjoy.EnterWrite to Tiffanee Cook
