  • Hygienist Jill

    This is the tale of the long suffering dental professional who has to look after the well-being of my molars. As a result of many one-sided conversations, I’ve learned something about the art of strictly come dentistry. How my gum hygiene is assessed, noted carefully, and recorded with evidence to be used against me at my next visit to the hygienistry. 

    But recently, a serious blow to my dental support has occurred…

    Mohammed Bin Salman. Review of ‘The man who would be King’

    Tudor Rickards

    The man who would be King is Crown Prince  Mohammed Bin Salman, of Saudi Arabia. In his efforts to transform his country, his approach deserves comparisons with another globally influential leader, Chairman Xi Jingping of China.

    The distinguished American political reporter Karen Elliott House has summarised her extensive study of the leader who is attempting to transform Saudi Arabia from an oil-rich traditional country into one with its unique culture, but accommodating western-style aspects associated with technology, tourism and global sporting events such as golf and football.

    The acronym MBS is one shared with Manchester Business School, my long-time academic location. In what follows, MBS refers to the Prince not the Business School.

    Before reading the book, my understanding of Saudi Arabia drew on two popular media stories. The first often described as ‘green-washing’, refers to any attempt to disguise an ecologically dubious activity as environmentally healthy.
    Saudi Arabia’s efforts to become a global superstar for sporting excellence ha s been cited as an example of greenwashing.

  • Assessing the creativity of AI generated music. I try the Suno system

    Send us Fan Mail


    Over the last few months,I have become involved in the generation of music produced with the help of artificial intelligence systems. The work has evolved from long-term contact and now Business collaborator Jonathan Levitt. 
    Johnathan is a Chess grand master, but my initial contact was coming across a book he wrote about the nature of humour. In case any of you would like to obtain a copy of the title is contemplating comedy by Jonathan Levitt.
    More recently I came across his work applying AI systems to generate music and wondered whether it throw light on the nature of creativity particularly as it was supplied to music. In this podcast, I would like to introduce the subject to encourage others interested in the subjects to experiment for themselves.
    Essentially, the process is one in which the music is generated in this case through application of AI provided by an organisation known as Suno. You will find information about Suno by googling Suno, and typing in a request for creating a new song.
