Married to the Machine: Living with AI
Everywhere you look right now, people are whispering (or shouting) about AI—sometimes like it’s the future of humanity, sometimes like it’s the end of the world. Stephanie Power, a journalist with a nose for a story, and David Reid, a professor who has been working in this field for a really long time, are here to cut through the noise. Together , they’ll explore how AI is already changing our lives, answering your questions, and considering what it all means for our jobs, our planet, and—yes—our politicians. Did we mention we are married? Think thoughtful chat without the jargon, Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy meets Tomorrow's World, aimed squarely at Gen X listeners who want the inside track. It’s smart, it’s curious, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. WARNING: There may be bickering. Email us at married2themachine@gmail.com
