  • #46 - Shaun Davies - Digital content and responsible AI.

    Shaun Davies spans a unique position as en expert in both media and technology. As someone on the initial wave of digital content, Shaun has seen the evolution of the industry to the algorithm driven sophisticated model we see today.

    With recent roles in content moderation on major platforms Shaun understands how hard it is to manage online trust and safety at scale.

    With an ability to translate the magic of internet algorithms into lay terms, I learned a great deal from this conversation.

    My conclusion? AI is here and will only get more common. Our best defence is education and understanding of this technology.

    You will find him today as the voice on any UCI BMX racing broadcast whilst also keeping the UK massive happy at national and regional level.

  • #41 - Hon. Sophia Moermond - Why Australia should legalise Cannabis.
    Sophia Moermond is a member of the Legislative Council in the Parliament of Western Australia for the Legalise Cannabis Party.
    She was elected on a legalise cannabis platform, having developed an intense interest in the use of cannabis following her own experience of a complex and expensive treatment path for her mother.
    Sophia believes in the same freedom of choice to use cannabis that is currently enjoyed by alcohol users in Australia and is also a strong advocate for the many sustainable uses of hemp.
    This was a fascinating and enjoyable discussion around a complex subject. We discuss legalisation, de-criminalisation, the complexities for road policing and the revenue benefits to the government.
