About this listen

 Today we explore Google's massive £5 billion UK AI investment and new datacenter launch, though environmental costs raise concerns with 570,000 tonnes of annual CO2 emissions. Music legends including Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, and Elton John challenge PM Keir Starmer on AI copyright protections for artists' work. We examine privacy issues with AI-powered children's toys that record conversations, and discuss the global talent competition as top AI scientist Song-Chun Zhu's move from US to China highlights geopolitical tensions. A thought-provoking analysis compares AI development to a German fairytale about magical wishing versus human creativity. These stories reveal AI's complex landscape of innovation, investment, and ethical challenges shaping our digital future.
