In this episode, I talk with Toby Walsh about his new book - Faking It: Artificial Intelligence in a Human World. Toby is a colleague and friend, so this was good fun. We talked about everything from Toby's hopes for AI, his optimism with regard to AI's environmental overheads, the challenges of labour extractivism, the fate of the metaverse,  AI's relationships with consciousness, free will, and morality, and more. Thanks Toby.

In this episode, I talk with Victor Dominello about his innovations as Minister for Digital for the New South Wales Government during the covid pandemic, along with the origins of his fascination with all things tech, digital literacy, AI transparency, SXSW Sydney, and his hopes for the future. My sincere thanks to Victor for his time, and to his super executive assistant Rema Leak for making this so easy.
