Ep 296: AI Bot Swarms Threaten Democracy
28/01/2026 | 5 mins.
Send us a text
New peer-reviewed research published in Science is raising urgent alarms about a powerful new threat to democratic systems.
In this episode, I explore how coordinated “AI swarms” could manipulate online debate, interfere with elections, and erode public trust at an unprecedented scale.
Featuring insights from an international team of researchers linked to Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, and Berkeley, including Nobel laureate Maria Ressa, I explain how these multi-agent systems work, why they are far more dangerous than traditional bots, and what governments and platforms can do to respond.

Anthropic has just turned Claude into something very different.
In this episode, I explore Cowork, a new tool that lets Claude work directly on your computer by opening files, organising folders, creating documents, and building presentations on your behalf.
I break down what Cowork is, how to access it, what it can actually do, and the real risks Anthropic is openly warning about, including file deletion and security concerns. You will also hear a real-world test from developer Simon Willison, plus practical tips for using Cowork safely and effectively.
This is not just AI you talk to. It is AI that gets work done.

Ep 293: AI in Emergency Care with Declan Watters

What if a simple app could save precious minutes in an emergency and even prevent medication errors?
In this episode, I chat with Declan Watters, a paramedic from Donegal, about the AI-powered medical tool he developed, Medisnap.
Designed for pre-hospital and emergency care, the app uses OCR and AI to quickly identify medications, flag critical interactions, and provide inferred medical histories, helping paramedics, nurses, and doctors save time and make better-informed decisions. We dive into how the app was created, how it’s being used internationally, and the journey toward regulatory approval, all while bootstrapped and built as a side project. A fascinating story of AI for good, innovation, and practical impact in healthcare.

Ep 292: Is AI Overloading UK Government Departments?
23/01/2026 | 6 mins.

Written Parliamentary Questions to UK government departments doubled in 2025. That is according to a Sky News exclusive published on 7 January 2026.
The number rose from 49,125 in 2024 to 90,331 last year. Government sources are now accusing some MPs of using AI to generate questions, diverting civil service resources and wasting public money. But MPs deny the claim and say the real problem is that ministers are not answering their questions properly.
Today, I am looking at this fascinating story from Westminster and what it means for public sector leaders. Whether or not AI is behind the surge, the implications for government capacity and accountability are significant. This is a case study in how generative AI is changing the dynamics of democratic oversight.
