In this special Q&A episode of The Age of AI, Lara Lewington and Ben Clark tackle the questions listeners are really asking about how AI is reshaping everyday life. From Waymo and the reality of self driving cars on public roads, to whether AI can genuinely help defeat bias in promotions and hiring, the episode explores where AI is helping, where it is risky, and where human judgement still matters most. Plus, guest expert Sam Mundy joins the conversation to explain one of the most talked about AI problems of all: why AI hallucinates? Or rather gets things wrong in old speak!
