AI Haven't A Clue

Your AI girlfriend will never reject you. That's exactly the problem.
Psychotherapist and Clinical Director of Awake Therapy Dr Jourdan Travers joins us to explore what happens when AI starts replacing the difficult parts of human relationships.
AI girlfriends and companions can be endlessly complimentary, available 24/7 and designed to give you exactly what you want.
But Jourdan argues that rejection, disappointment and discomfort are essential parts of learning how to have relationships.
We discuss, why people are forming relationships with AI, the rise of AI girlfriends and why rejection might actually be good for us.

AI could trigger the next global economic crash.
That's from a warning from the Governor of the Bank of England.
Could the extraordinary amount of money pouring into AI eventually create a huge market correction, and what that would mean for the rest of us?
But that's not the only warning sign.
Actors are demanding protection from AI voice cloning. Hollywood is using AI to cut production costs. AI systems are becoming capable of breaking out of controlled environments. And Meta's smart glasses are raising serious questions about privacy.
The good news?
AI still can't reliably make a pizza.
So perhaps we're going to be alright.

Can AI help lonely people? Can AI companions replace human connection? Are AI companions safe for older people?
It sounds dystopian. But for someone who is lonely, awake at 2am and has nobody to call, an AI companion could provide something surprisingly valuable: someone to listen.
Grant MacKenzie is the founder of Comfort Companions CIC, a non-profit he created with his dad to provide AI-powered voice conversations for older people experiencing loneliness.
After working with Age UK South Gloucestershire, Grant has seen first-hand how long people can wait for human companionship and believes AI can help fill the quiet gaps without replacing human connection.
But where do we draw the line?
Grant's answer is nuanced: The value isn't necessarily being known. It's being heard.
The service has been trialled with Age UK South Gloucestershire, and Grant explains what they've learned about loneliness, human connection and the surprising value of simply having someone, or something, there to listen.

Why are we now seeing 20–30 page AI-generated complaints, Hollywood workers training the machines that could replace them, and huge chunks of the internet turning into AI-generated sludge?
This week we debate whether Australia is right to ban AI-generated music from its charts, why shoppers using AI at Walmart reportedly spend 40% more, and what happens when AI models start training on an internet increasingly filled with AI content.
And then there’s Grok… which briefly forgot how to speak English. Cheese please?

Tilly Norwood isn't real. But she's about to star in a movie.
And that has Hollywood seriously divided.
We sit down with Sarina Da Costa Gomez, Executive Creative Director at Particle6, the AI-first production studio behind the controversial AI actress, to ask whether Tilly represents the future of entertainment or the beginning of the end for human performers.
Sarina believes AI can make bigger, more ambitious creative ideas possible, and explains how traditional film jobs are being transformed rather than simply eliminated, and why Tilly requires a team of around 20 humans to create.
BUT if AI makes productions faster and cheaper, what happens to the hundreds of people who used to work on them?
And if AI actresses are always beautiful, flawless and impossibly perfect, what does that do to our expectations of real people?
