About this listen

Married To The Machine looks at how AI is impacting you in the real world. Designed for GenX listeners - those who need to know about AI, especially at work, this episode looks at the UK/US tech prosperity deal, the environmental impact of data centres - how much drinking water do you use posting those pics of your dog with human teeth? One listener asks if AI will take all creative jobs, and a mutiny is in the offing, with the AI presenters, even though they only started this week!
