About this episode

The episode discusses the trustworthiness of AI, its biases, and features insights from tech experts, along with topics on digital twinning and video gaming.

Can we trust AI? Its answers are not always correct. And it only knows what it's been trained on, so some of its responses can contain bias. Tech experts offer us some solutions. Also this week: digital twinning is helping the restoration of a three hundred year old palace. And the joy of mundane video gaming!
