About this episode
The episode discusses the reopening of UAE airspace and its implications for travel and the economy, alongside topics on AI and Hollywood's response to it.

We'll hear from the General Civil Aviation Authority of UAE, the CEO of Dubai Airports and aviation expert John Strickland. Meanwhile, AI is making headlines once again, Hollywood is coming out fighting - saying only human performances and scripts will be Oscar-worthy. And Taylor Swift is looking to protect her image, voice and likeness from being used by AI - but has the horse already bolted? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
