Tech commentator Mark Pesce joins Kathryn to discuss a new study which has found while our social circles have increased, so has polarisation. What happened between 2008 and 2010 to change us.... and what can we do about it? Deep fakes are coming for our payments systems, with receipts now looking so real can a human spot a counterfeit? It's now possible to create real-time audio deepfakes - is that really your boss on the phone telling you to move those funds to the Caymans?
And new research has found AI can be used to 'mind caption', work out someone's thoughts before they become verbal. Scary perhaps, but potentially transformative for those who may be non-verbal through stroke or other impairment.
