About this listen

What if AI could help you have a real say in how your neighbourhood runs, from getting your bins collected on time to actually being heard by your local council? In this episode of AI and Us, science communicator Stephen McGann explores how artificial intelligence might transform civic engagement, but only if everyone has access to the digital tools they need. From digital inclusion hubs in Liverpool to debates about who controls our data, this episode asks: can AI really empower ordinary people, or will it just deepen the digital divide?
