Artificial intelligence will be “mainlined into the veins” of the nation, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has declared, with a multibillion-pound investment and huge public rollout. Amid bond market chaos and a falling pound, the Government is pinning its hopes for growth on the AI revolution - what could possibly go wrong? To unpick the technogobledigook with Nish and Coco is technology journalist Chris Stokel-Walker. They drill into the Government's AI action plan and the potential pitfalls of this silver bullet for society, jobs and the environment.  With the far right surging across the world - it’s important to know when you can call a fascist a fascist. No one knows this better than Nafeez Ahmed, investigative journalist and author of “Alt Reich: The Network War to Destroy the West from Within”. He breaks down the scale of the threat we are facing and how we can fight it. And with so much Billionaire BS flying about, we debut “Facts versus Fuckwits”, debunking some prime fuckwittery from a painfully out-of-touch Tony Blair.   Useful Links “Alt-Reich: The Network War to Destroy the West from Within” by Nafeez Ahmed https://www.waterstones.com/book/alt-reich/nafeez-ahmed//9781916754140 Mental Health Services: https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/ https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/seeking-help-for-a-mental-health-problem/where-to-start/ https://www.samaritans.org/ https://www.youngminds.org.uk/ https://www.rethink.org/advice-and-information/   Guests Chris Stokel-Walker Nafeez Ahmed   Audio Credits Sky News Jimmy’s Jobs for the Future Podcast   Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.
