The government needs to step up and properly regulate AI – that’s what Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy tells the podcast – saying we can expect to hear more about it soon.
She talks to Beth about the warnings that AI “could kill us all by the end of the decade”. She also reflects on the online safety act – are the tech companies taking the UK government seriously?
Beth also gets her take on the growing row over plans to house asylum seekers at a former military site near Piddington in Oxfordshire – the village of around 300 people who held a referendum this week to leave the UK.
So, who gets the final say when national policy clashes with local democracy?
Beth, Harriet and Ruth debate whether the government needs to rethink its plans on housing asylum seekers, why some communities feel unheard, and how immigration is becoming a defining battleground in British politics.
Plus – we have an exciting announcement for our Dysfunctioners!
