  • The AI Supermodel Who Made It to Vogue (And the Two Young Founders Who Built Her)
    Aug 15 2025

    This week, the AI wars go global — China’s DeepSeek rattles Silicon Valley, Elon Musk loses at chess (and possibly friends), and Grok lands in hot water over some very unwanted Taylor Swift “content.” But the real showstopper? We chat to Valentina González and Andrea Petrescu, the founders of Seraphinne Vallora — the world’s first AI fashion marketing agency — whose virtual model just fronted a Guess campaign in Vogue. They spill the tea on creating their AI Model Vivienne (aka Vivi), why brands are calling them non-stop, and how AI could be the fashion industry’s new BFF rather than its grim reaper.

    Oh, and we try to tell real love letters from AI-generated ones… with mixed success.

  • Cloning The Rock & Resurrecting Ozzy?! What Happens When AI Takes Over Entertainment…
    Aug 8 2025

    Is AI crossing the line from helpful to horrifying?

    This week on AI Haven’t a Clue, things get wild. Rod Stewart caused chaos after using generative AI to create a "heavenly" concert featuring Ozzy, Elvis, Tupac and more — and the internet had thoughts. Meanwhile, Disney is reportedly using AI to recreate Dwayne Johnson for the new Moana remake. No filming needed.

    James is on holiday this week, and no we haven't replaced him with AI - the wonderful Phil Rowley joins us and is diving into the future of travel with a brand-new report revealing how AI could fully personalise and automate your holidays by 2035 — from booking your flight to adjusting your hotel air-con. Creepy or convenient?

    Plus, we explore what happens when AI rewrites the ending of your favourite films (yes, Inception is on the list), how Google is using AI to build video games in real time, and why big questions around intellectual property are starting to explode. Who owns the output of AI? And how do creators protect their work when anyone with a laptop can replicate their ideas?

    Guest Carl Rosen, AI and IP Strategy Expert at PA Consulting, joins us for the most mind-bending episode yet. If you're curious about how AI is shaking up everything from law to entertainment to travel, this is the one to watch.

    Is it the future we’ve all been waiting for — or a total ethical nightmare? Let us know what you've seen, are using, or ask us a question at aihaventaclue@gmail.com.

  • The AI WARS Are Here: Meta, Microsoft & Google Go All In — and Phil Rowley Predicts What’s Next
    Aug 1 2025

    The tech giants are throwing down: Meta’s spending $69 billion on AI. Microsoft’s investing even more. Google’s rewriting search itself. So… what does it all mean for us?

    In this episode of AI Haven’t a Clue, futurist Phil Rowley joins George and James to unpack the escalating AI arms race and what it means for everything from entertainment to everyday life. AI-generated movie endings (without the directors permission!), NPCs that think for themselves, and algorithms that shape what we play, watch and hear, we look at all of the ways AI is shaping creativity.

    And that's not all! We break down the four forces reshaping the future: democratisation, diffusion, dimensionalisation, and dismantling. Phil explains why AI might not replace human creativity, but radically extend it — and why the next big entertainment trend could come from someone with just a smartphone. Plus, the AI Challenge returns: can you tell which presenters are real and which are AI-generated fakes?

  • The one with The Minister... Inside the UK Government's Plan for a Tech-Powered Future
    Jul 17 2025

    This week, we sit down with the UK’s Minister for AI & Digital, Feryal Clark, to ask the big questions: Why is the government investing billions in artificial intelligence? Why is Scotland at the centre of it all? And most importantly — what’s in it for the public? From supercomputers in Edinburgh to AI tools tackling cancer and climate change, we explore the real purpose behind the UK's AI revolution.

    As always we’ll also be unpacking the latest AI news, taking a listener question and facing off in a tense AI Challenge.

    Whether you’re an AI optimist, sceptic, or just tuning in for the absurdity, this episode unpacks what’s driving Britain’s boldest tech leap yet— while keeping you entertained with news and playful banter.

  • Can AI Ever be TRULY Green—OR Are We Just Pretending it Lives in the Cloud?
    Jul 11 2025

    AI might help you write emails and plan dinner—but is it secretly cooking the climate while it's at it? In this eye-opening episode, we dig into AI’s hidden environmental cost with not one but two top experts: Dr. Felicia Lu and Noman Bashier. From energy-sucking data centers to cooling systems draining water from drought-stricken areas, the impact is bigger—and murkier—than you think.

    But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. We also unpack the bizarre AI experiment that ended with a fridge full of metal cubes, ask if the first AI-made trillionaire is coding from their mum’s basemen AND revisit the mystery of the AI band Velvet Sundown and its synth-pop soul
