Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel-Walker discuss how Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has sparked a media storm over her views on the surveillance state.

Her view? "To achieve, by means of AI and technology, what Jeremy Bentham tried to do with his Panopticon. That is that the eyes of the state can be on you at all times.”

We also discuss what Trump is doing in Iceland... we mean Greenland, and what, if anything, trust has do with prosperity.

Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel-Walker investigate how AI is transforming our relationships, from best friends to husbands and wives and even therapists, the death spiral of the global media and whether it’s AI to blame, and how Keir Starmer is attempting to influence the influencers.

This includes an interview with the author James Muldoon, whose new book Love Machines looks at how AI is changing relationships (you can buy his book here: https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571399277-love-machines/)

We also discuss the “death spiral” of journalism and the media industry, which executives still seem to underestimate despite the bleak outlook; Westminster finally catching up with the influence of influencers; and how David Attenborough is the secret victim of a Reddit bug.
