Welcome to the seventh episode of the Connected AI Podcast, a fortnightly podcast presented by Charlie Taylor, the Business Post's technology editor, and Elaine Burke, one of our leading contributors.

The Connected AI Podcast, which is brought to you in association with Expleo, aims to cut through the hype and get to the heart of AI for business, with expert guests offering their advice, and the hosts giving their take on big developments in the space.

In the latest episode we're talking to Niamh Donnelly, co-founder of Irish start-up Akara Robotics, which is developing robotics and AI technologies for use in hospitals around the world. Niamh joins us with an update on Akara's move into the US and explains how they co-design their technologies by working closely with hospital staff, ensuring their tech is fit for purpose.

In addition, Charlie and Elaine discuss how educators are responding to AI, the advice from Ireland's AI Advisory Council, which LLMs are safest and much more.
