This week, Rewind takes a look at some of the big dilemmas of the day. We look at the endurance of sexism in sport, the ethics of cutting-edge A.I., and the food shortages we didn't think we'd see in WA.
First up, Taylah Strano speaks to sports management expert Michelle O'Shea about how gender-balanced the Olympic Games really are. Half of the 2021 competitors are women – but does that mean we're seeing true gender parity?
Next, Jeff Bullen digs into the BourdainBot scandal with LegalTech lecturer Mitchell Adams. Why does deepfake technology creep us out? And how can we manage its use ethically?
Finally, Jesse Begley talks about food security – the need to make sure people don't go hungry in the midst of casual work closures and panic-buying. Public health expert Christina Pollard explains how Covid-19 has forced West Australians to rethink food accessibility.
