Joined @NIAbbot on @lbc to talk about the rise of facial recognition cameras and people getting unexpectedly banned from their local supermarkets due to mistaken identity thanks to imperfections in the AI detection process.

@soniasodha Just got told they couldn’t see the payment requests so i’d have to go back to every individual i’ve worked with over last month. Great work.

@willguyatt Try calling BBC Business services to start the wheels turning but be prepared to spend a long time on the phone. These are the instructions I was given Business Support Service Desk (0800 0581870) and select 3 (Contingent Workforce queries) then 2

So all BBC freelancer payments have been made through a new system since 1 April, which requires freelancers to log in to "claim" the payment before it's processed. But no one has sent me a link to register on this new system yet so none of my payments can go through😵‍💫

@soniasodha There's a multitude of difference systems. The Artists & Contributors, Freelancers, Casual and they don't all talk to each other. My payments stopped 31st March and I've got around 20 things that simply don't exist or can't be seen and NOBODY will investigate.

Luckily I just spotted an email typo before hitting send. Supposed to say 'absolutely bonkers'. Had written 'absolutely boners'. Different sentiment.

Taylor Swift is one of the first celebrities to trademark their voice, their likeness and their appearance in a popular video clip in an effort to fend off the advances of chatbots generating unauthorised deep fakes. I joined Kate and Stig on @TimesRadio to talk it through

Has there even been a more divisive tech than the smartphone? A connected computer in the palm of our hands; something science fiction could only dream of in the last century. So much potential. But in the hands of cynical capitalism, a tool to track, monetise, and addict us.

The UK government has now confirmed there will be some kind of restrictions for Under 16s in social media without saying what, and despite the fact a public consultation is still ongoing. i joined BBC Radio Scotland to discuss what’s going on. Where do you stand on this?

In my semi regular series of chats with @LBC’s @NIAbbot about the rise of AI - our extended 16-minute conversation started from government departments disagreeing on the amount of energy infrastructure required to power the “AI revolution” here in the UK. We covered a lot ground in the conversation- including the fact the energy used to generate the eight second video version of the image of our LBC colleague, Nick Ferrari being chased by a bear on a moped through London’s Leicester Square would have powered a microwave for an hour.

The world’s a screwy place so who knows what might happen in the next few hours, but i’m due to be joining @NIAbbot on @lbc to discuss a bonkers story where two UK government departments seem miles apart on the assessment of what energy AI compute with require….

The long developing legal dispute between Elon Musk and Sam Altman heads to a Californian court on Monday - thanks to Musk’s $134bn lawsuit that would keep Open AI a not for profit, and potentially see Altman booted out. I joined the fabulous @AliMirajUK on @lbc to talk this through, and why Elon and Sam are no different to Peggy and Pat in Eastenders.
