In this episode of The Age of AI, we open the floor to your biggest questions and take them head on. Is it already too late for the little guys in AI? Have the tech giants locked down the future, or is there still space for startups, researchers and independent builders to shape what comes next? We also explore whether AI can learn from the data on our wearables. Could your smartwatch one day predict illness before symptoms appear? Could personal data, used responsibly, genuinely save lives? And then there’s the lighter side of the algorithm. What was really behind the wave of Victoria Beckham memes that flooded our feeds? Was it human creativity, machine amplification, or something more strategic happening beneath the surface? The humans who make this programme would love to hear from you.
