Artificial intelligence is the big talking point of the week, with UK PM Sir Keir Starmer announcing a drive to unleash its full potential.
It’s already being used in healthcare, but recent studies have exposed both strengths and weaknesses.
We’re joined by Dr James Kinross, a surgeon and researcher at Imperial College London, to discuss the positives and the pitfalls.
Also this week, we talk all about what a Trump presidency might mean for science; why powerful winds are driving the deadly fires in LA – and anyone for science-optimised pasta? Marnie is helped by a physicist to make the perfect Cacio e Pepe.
Spoiler alert: Recipe below!
Presenter: Marnie Chesterton

Science-backed Cacio e Pepe:
For two servings:
