Is Kamala Harris the AI Tsar?
Épisode 49
mardi 10 septembre 2024 • Durée 29:37
Is Kamala Harris the AI Tsar?
The upcoming debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is scheduled for next week, where the two candidates for the U.S. presidency will engage in a direct confrontation on the ABC news channel in anticipation of the November election. Should the topic of artificial intelligence arise, it may favour Kamala Harris, given her significant involvement in AI policy as Vice President. This perspective is shared by Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business at The Fletcher School, Tufts University, who recently discussed technology, the election, and Kamala Harris with our editor Ania. While the Vice President enjoys substantial support from influential figures in Silicon Valley, it is important to note that prominent tech entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are aligned with Team Trump.
Video Games were good for mental health through COVID
Engaging in gaming for a few hours each day has been shown to enhance mental well-being, as indicated by a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour. One significant finding of this research is that merely owning a gaming console can have positive effects. The critical aspect of this study is that it establishes causation rather than mere correlation, which is a significant advancement in this field of research. For instance, if an individual purchases a gaming console and exhibits good mental health, one might question whether their happiness is a pre-existing condition or if the acquisition of the console has contributed to their improved well-being. This study was conducted during the pandemic, and the unique circumstances of that period enabled researchers to uncover valuable insights regarding the connection between gaming and mental health. Professor Andrew Przybylski from the Oxford Internet Institute explains the significance of the work.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Peter Guest.

Can a booming tech economy help Ukraine in the war against Russia?
Épisode 44
mardi 6 août 2024 • Durée 26:19
Can a booming tech economy help Ukraine in the war against Russia?
Ukrainian Independence Day is almost upon us, and as the war with Russia continues well into its third year, we want to look at how everyday tech development continues and is a vital part of the country's economy. We’ve brought together three entrepreneurs to tell us about their work. Andrey Klen is co-founder of a number of tech businesses – including Petcube, O0 Design, and Spend With Ukraine. The platform brings together startups and tech companies in one place, making it easy for consumers to buy directly from Ukraine companies and therefore support the country’s economy. Also joining the show is Vira Tkachenko who is Chief Technology & Innovation Officer at MacPaw. In 2022, Forbes Ukraine named her on its list of the Top 25 women in IT. MacPaw develops and distributes software for macOS and iOS. And finally co-founder & CEO of Esper Bionics Dima Gazda. His human augmentation startup is working on the first bionic ecosystem in the world.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert isPeter Guest.

Getting online in Russia – which tech companies are standing up to Putin?
Épisode 43
mardi 30 juillet 2024 • Durée 28:12
Getting online in Russia – which tech companies are standing up to Putin?
The Mozilla Foundation, widely recognised for the Firefox Browser, temporarily took down browser add-ons that assist people in Russia in bypassing state censorship, following a request from the state, according to news reports. It reversed this decision and reinstated the browser add-ons that Russia objected to. Apple though has been criticised by a VPN provider for complying with Russian demands to remove its tool from Apple’s Russian app store. Freelance technology researcher and journalist Samuel Woodhams is on SOEP to tell us what’s been happening and who is standing up to Putin.
First academic evidence of online harassment of women in India
Dealing with trolls requires solidarity, according to a well-known Indian journalist and academic, Dr. Sanjukta Basu, who has personally experienced vicious trolling. She’s been in the UK presenting her research which documents the online abuse women in India have experienced on Twitter/X. We discuss her research on how women can combat toxicity online, particularly in response to orchestrated attacks by right-wing nationalists in India.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Peter Guest.

Duchenne UK pushes tech to its limits to help those with the condition

Duchenne UK pushes tech to its limits to help those with the condition
This week we see the impact one charity is having on development of assistive technology for the degenerative condition Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which affects more than 300,000 people around the world. The technology is playing a vital role in keeping teenage dreams alive.
A mother and son tell their story; he has DMD, she’s founded a charity to tackle some of the big challenges in drug development in their search for a cure for DMD. In 13 years, Duchenne UK has raised more than £27 million and used this money to fund pioneering medical research, create a DMD clinical research network of hospital sites across the country, set up a national programme establishing best practice across all the disciplines involved in DMD clinical care, and develop innovative assistive mobility technologies, such as the arm-assist Elevex, to support the independence of people with DMD.
Somewhere on Earth meets Eli Crossley - musician, pupil, teenager, whose rock band was the youngest ever to perform at Glastonbury, Eli’s mum, co-founder and Chief Executive of Duchenne UK, Emily Reuben OBE, and Hayley Philippault, Head of Technology at Duchenne UK.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Nick Kwek.

Do we need new laws to control AI? Also the Prix Ars Electronica 2024 winner speaks to SOEP
Épisode 41
mardi 16 juillet 2024 • Durée 34:17
Do we need new laws to control AI?
Will current legislation be sufficient to control the development of AI? How is AI affecting our human rights? Is AI good enough to draft legal submissions? Does automation bias make us want to trust the technology more than we should? These are just some the of questions SOEP is asking international human rights attorney Susie Alegre. She’s just published her latest book “Human Rights, Robot Wrongs” and will navigate us through the impact of AI on human rights and our interaction with machines.
"Smoke and Mirrors" - the Prix d'Electronica 2024
Beatie Wolfe, pioneering artist and composer, has been awarded the Prix Ars Electronica "Golden Nica" for her work "Smoke and Mirrors". She’s used NASA data on methane emissions. Probably the most prestigious Media Arts Award in the world Beatie represents 60 years of decades of NASA climate data – in this case rising methane levels, set alongside advertising slogans deployed by Big Oil companies to question climate change during this time. Beatie has also beamed her music into space, weaving her second album into an NFC-enabled jacket. SOEP discusses her piece which reflects the interface between art, music, and technology.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Ghislaine Boddington.
