Explainiacs

4 years since Explainiacs began in COVID time, Lindley is back with one of our wonderful Explainiacs from Season 1 - Pete Cohen. We're talking about Lindley's new book The Future of Truth (and How to Get There). There's lots more, and a link to buy it, at thefutureoftruth.info

This is the story of mis- and dis-information, how to spot them both in real-time and fight back wherever our timelines take us. False information and fake news are now classed as one of the world's greatest societal threats, and Lindley has spent the last year down the rabbit hole discovering the human causes, and easiest ways to clean up our information diet, based on his years in news and broadcasting, and lots of the best research on the subject.

Welcome to Explainiacs 12! This time, we meet the wonderful John Rosenfeld - President of the US bank Citizens Access, former engineer and Captain in the US Army Special Forces.

In under 20 minutes, we learn what true leadership under pressure is - and isn’t. How can we all apply the techniques that they teach top soldiers to our own lives, and how can we plan for, and handle, adversity.

You might be surprised how much special forces you already have in you!

Welcome back to EXPLAINIACS - SERIES 2!

And what a way to return! This time, we’re lucky enough to have one of the leading minds in AI with us – Dr Berndt Müller - to help us to think like a learning machine. We talk about AI development, ethics, creativity, and what young people will need to learn, to be ready for an AI-driven future. We also settle some of the myths about what artificial intelligence is, and what it definitely is not.

20 minutes of conversation at the cutting edge of augmented intelligence.

Explainiacs is back, across an actual table from an actual human being who’s been behind some of the best known dramas, actors and film makers of all time. 

Jeremy Hylton-Davies is here to explain how to take a small script all the way to the big screen. From the first idea, through the pitch, to development and the screenplay, Jeremy explains how the professionals make TV and film happen, way before we see the end results.

16 minutes of chat, from the Union Club in London which we hope you enjoy as much as we did, glimpsing the real world from a safe, social distance.
