AI Haven't A Clue

Looks like the Gruffalo could be taking AI companies to court.

Big Tech has been hit by a huge stock market wobble, with Alphabet losing more than $500 billion in market value as investors question whether its AI investments are paying off. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has reportedly spent $255 million backing a Republican candidate in Texas, only for his preferred candidate to lose.

And that's not all. The illustrator behind The Gruffalo, Axel Scheffler, is considering legal action over AI-generated copies of his characters.

Plus, MPs and peers are calling for AI-powered toys to be banned unless manufacturers can prove they're safe. And after seeing what some of these toys can say to children, it's a debate that's getting harder to ignore.

And James has discovered a pair of AI glasses that let you communicate without actually speaking. Because apparently talking out loud is now optional.

AI might live in the cloud. But the cloud is made of enormous buildings that need electricity, water and land. So who pays the price for the AI revolution?

As tech companies pour billions into artificial intelligence, the UK is facing a huge wave of proposed data-centre developments. But campaigners warn that the rush to build them could put pressure on our energy supply, threaten climate targets and transform communities without residents having much say.

We speak to Owen Espley, a campaigner who has worked on issues ranging from workers' rights to the Make Amazon Pay campaign. He's now calling for a pause on new data-centre developments until proper safeguards are in place.

Owen argues that the rush to build is putting investment interests ahead of the needs of ordinary people. But with AI becoming increasingly important, can we afford to slow down?

Is the AI revolution worth the environmental cost, and who should get to decide?

What if the people funding the AI revolution aren't just trying to make money, but want to fundamentally change society?

Behind the biggest AI companies is a small network of influential investors whose money, political connections and personal ideologies are helping shape the future of technology.

Jack Benjamin, Senior Reporter at The Media Leader, returns to AI Haven't a Clue to unpack what these powerful figures actually believe.

We explore Peter Thiel's controversial views on democracy and capitalism, Marc Andreessen's political shift, the influence of Silicon Valley billionaires on US policy, and the growing divide between those who want AI developed as quickly as possible and those calling for more safeguards.

We also discuss the idea of AI accelerationism, the race against China, the future of regulation and why investors' financial incentives matter when deciding how technology is built.

And what does all of this mean for you? The companies behind these products have access to enormous amounts of personal information.

Who should control the technology that could reshape humanity: the people funding it, the governments regulating it, or the public using it?

AI can generate answers in seconds. But does it actually understand what makes us human?

What happens when we stop using AI as a tool and make it the central character in an immersive courtroom drama?

George Butler and James Chandler meet Stephen Henderson, co-founder of Nilo Studios and creative director of GAWD v The People, and Ivan Alejandro Diaz Cardenas, the studio's Agentic Director, to discover how they created an AI-powered experience that puts humanity on trial.

Rather than presenting AI as an all-knowing, all-powerful machine, the creators gave their AI God the voice of a curious child, constantly asking questions about human behaviour, emotion and belief.

We discuss:

• How multiple AI agents interact, remember context and respond to audiences in real time

• What happens when audiences challenge AI with unpredictable questions

• Whether AI can ever truly understand human experience

• How immersive technology could change theatre, film and live entertainment

Gawd v The People's London run was staged at Lightroom, in King's Cross, the incredible immersive space that is home to David Bowie: You're Not Alone and Larger Than Life: Starring Wallace & Gromit, Shaun and More.

Can ChatGPT be tricked into believing you're a pilot, a surgeon or a secret agent? Apparently, it will certainly try to help.

A social media creator who deliberately trolls ChatGPT and tech billionaires making extraordinary promises about the future, we're getting into it!

We look at prompts that convince ChatGPT to roleplay a plane emergency, an SAS interrogation and even self-surgery. Why does AI sometimes take absurd requests so seriously, and what does that tell us about the technology?

Elon Musk's Starlink has become part of a serious debate about the role of private technology in warfare. Meanwhile, Musk says AI and robots could surpass human capabilities, and both he and Anthropic are proposing ways to share some of the wealth generated by AI.

Should schools ban AI, or is banning it the worst thing they could do?

Children are already using ChatGPT, Gemini and AI image generators. But while some schools are blocking the technology, others are teaching pupils how to use it critically, creatively and responsibly.

In this episode of AI Haven't a Clue, we speak to Tom Le Tissier, Head of Alleyn's Regent's Park, and Amy Austin, Head of Digital Learning, about the future of AI in education.

Tom's school group developed its AIQ curriculum with MIT and other universities, while Amy is bringing AI literacy into the classroom, helping children understand everything from algorithms and misinformation to AI-generated images.

We discuss:

• Why banning AI at school might leave children less prepared for the real world

• Whether ChatGPT is helping pupils learn or simply doing their homework

• Why children can struggle to tell AI-generated images from reality

• How teachers are using AI to support learning, marking and personalised feedback

• Why critical thinking and creativity could become the most important skills children learn

If AI is going to be part of every child's future, shouldn't every child learn how it works?

A handful of billionaires could be deciding the future of AI. But who is funding them, what do they want, and how much power do they really have?

We talk constantly about Sam Altman, Elon Musk and the race to build increasingly powerful AI. But behind the CEOs is another group of people with enormous influence: the investors funding the entire revolution.

In this special episode of AI Haven't a Clue, George Butler is joined by Jack Benjamin, journalist at The Media Leader, to investigate the money behind AI.

We uncover the connections between Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, the PayPal Mafia and some of Silicon Valley's biggest venture capital firms. We explore how the same investors keep appearing across OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX, and why their political connections matter.

Plus, we look at the reported $30 billion UAE investment talks involving OpenAI, why AI investment is helping prop up the US economy, and what happens when so much power is concentrated in so few hands.

If AI is going to change everyone's lives, shouldn't we know who's paying for it?

Your doctor might only see you when you're already sick. BUT AI could spot the warning signs years earlier....

Dr. Dan Sodickson has spent more than three decades working out how to see inside the human body. A physicist and MD, he has worked at Harvard and NYU, where he served as Vice Chair for Research and Chief of Innovation in Radiology.

His big idea? We are using some of our best medical technology too late.

MRI is usually used once there's already a reason to suspect something is wrong. But Dan believes AI could change that by making imaging faster, cheaper and more accurate.

AI could compare new scans with your previous scans, understand your personal baseline and help doctors distinguish genuine warning signs from harmless changes.

And eventually, he thinks scanning could move far beyond the hospital.

Imagine a scanner built into your bed. Or your home. Or somewhere you visit every day.

Dan calls this future “everywhere scanners”: a connected network of sensors, blood tests, imaging and wearable devices with AI acting as a kind of central brain, constantly looking for changes in your health.

Is this the future of preventative medicine?

AI could destroy humanity, but according to Sam Altman, we just have to roll with it.

That's not a line from a sci-fi film. It's a risk being discussed by some of the people actually building the technology.

We dive into the biggest AI stories dominating the headlines, including Trump's new AI push, why he's STILL insisting on calling it “super intelligence”, the growing political battle over AI regulation, and why Slovenia is in the money from this AI hype.

AI doesn't need your face to identify you anymore.

It can recognise your voice. Your fingerprints. And potentially even the way you move.

Simon Weckert is a Berlin-based new media artist whose work combines code, circuits and social commentary. He has become known for playful projects that expose the strange ways technology shapes our lives, including his infamous Google Maps experiment and a colourful T-shirt designed to confuse AI surveillance systems.

Simon explains how he created the digital camouflage, why AI surveillance worries him, and whether we should have the right to disappear from these systems in the first place.

We get into the uncomfortable question of freedom vs safety, whether surveillance technology could reduce human civic engagement, and why being able to opt out of tracking online doesn't necessarily mean you can opt out in the real world.

Plus: can AI make better art than humans?

If AI can recognise you without your face, is there anywhere left to hide?
