    1007: AI Out of Control. Do We Need a Kill Switch?

    We’re talking about OpenAI's groundbreaking text-to-video image generator which may not be as great as they say. In fact, AI has been doing some very strange things lately, with some people calling for a ‘kill switch’ to be baked in. 
    We chat about that, plus a look at what’s just landed on the moon and TikToks restructuring in Ireland.
    Our guest this week is Ann-Marie Clyne from Mastercard who shares the surprising amount of tech they have based in Ireland. She also tells us how they are using the Fasttrack to IT apprenticeship programme to recruit new tech staff here.

This is the worst. It isn’t even on the actual radio. It is in Ireland which also makes it bad because they are all gingers. Real tech radio is better.
