Tech Life

Beyond the tip of the iceberg


Listen Later

Tech Life looks at icebergs. Climate change means there are more of them in our oceans, breaking away and slowly melting. Scientists need to study them - but how ? We speak to an expert about robotic gliders, which are opening up new research opportunities.

Also in this edition, can we trust artificial intelligence ? One of its problems is that it hallucinates, so we find out more about it.

How can tech help people who are blind or partially sighted watch TV ?

And our reporter gets his hands dirty examining rhino poo!

You can tell us about the one item of tech that you use in your life everyday – please get in touch by emailing [email protected] or send us a Whatsapp message or voice memo on +44 330 1230 320.

Presenter: Imran Rahman-Jones
