17th October 2025 - Discussing AI on LBC
Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull on LBC Radio to discuss the results of a study by Microsoft on the impact of AI on job availability. Should we be far more concerned about how AI will change the employment landscape, and how will society adapt to deal with so many losing their jobs to AI systems? The environmental impact of AI needs to be tackled as energy requirements far exceed current availability. Plus will we see AI integrated into our brains?
