We're back after three weeks away!!
And we're diving straight into the deep end. Ryan and Richard break down one of the biggest stories in AI right now. The dramatic headlines between the US government and AI companies Anthropic and OpenAI. From Anthropic being labelled a national security risk for refusing to remove safeguards around autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, to OpenAI stepping in to fill the gap, we give our take on what it all means and what it actually says about brand trust and ethics in the AI industry.
We're also joined by Ed, CTO and co-founder of LOOP, to dig into Scotland's newly released AI strategy. Is Scotland genuinely positioning itself as a global leader in AI, or is it more government propaganda than actionable plan? We get into the report's strengths, its glaring gaps, and what it would actually take to move the dial. We round things off with a wider chat about AI in education, how it's changing the way students research and write, and what skills are going to matter most in a world where information retrieval is practically free.
