    This month Smera and Jonah are joined by Megan Hughes of the Turing’s Centre for Emerging Technology and Security to inform us about misinformation during election periods, and assures us to not always believe the hype. Smera and Jonah also discuss some of the latest breakthroughs with robotics and what that could mean for our workforces, and they explore the tricky topic of how generative AI is being used to create pornographic material, much of which is harmful.
