Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull with this week's tech news, including how Meta has confirmed they'll be tracking their employees' mouse and keyboard clicks to train their AI to use the same software, but are they being expected to train their own replacements at a time they've announced massive layoffs while investing in Artificial Intelligence? Plus, how ChatGPT became abusive and threatening after users abused it.
Gadget of the Week goes to;
TP-Link Archer NX500 5G AX3000 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router. This  wireless dual-band Wifi 6 enabled router uses a nano 5G sim card, allowing you to replace a conventional internet connection with a cellular one you'd normally find in your smartphone, as well as being compatible with standard fibre and DSL modem connections.

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Stephanie Finnon on BBC Radio Cumbria to discuss how Meta has confirmed it has started tracking its own employees' keys and mouse clics to train its AI to operate the very software those employees are using. What are the ethical implications of employees being expected to train AI to replace them? Just where is this all heading, and how worried should we be about the implications? Could even this text you're reading now eventually be outsourced and not need the Gadget Detective to type it?!
