    How AI is Changing Work, Art & Accent 🤖 | Tech News That's Got Me Thinking AI is Changing Work, Creativity & Communication – Are We Ready?

In this episode of Tech News That Got Me Thinking, I, Sonya Barlow—founder of LMF Network, author, and presenter—unpack the latest AI trends, controversies, and breakthroughs shaping our future. But what does it actually mean for us? Let’s break it down. 🚨 What We Cover in This Episode: 🗣️ AI is neutralizing Indian accents – Why are companies trying to ‘standardize’ accents, and what does this mean for diversity, communication, and workplace biases? 💼 Automation & the future of jobs – AI is replacing some roles and creating new ones. What skills do we need to stay employable? Featuring insights from LinkedIn’s Jobs Report & World Economic Forum’s Future of Work 2025. 🎨 The battle over AI & creativity – Artists, musicians, writers, and content creators are pushing back. Is AI stealing creativity, or is this just a new era of innovation? We cover news from The Times, The Guardian, and The Sun, plus insights from BBC’s Zoe Kleinman on AI-generated books. 🤯 Snoop Dogg vs AI – "I see AI doing all this weird sht!"* What’s the real reason behind celebrities reacting so strongly to AI? 📉 Is AI killing languages? – Some researchers warn AI could accelerate the loss of native languages. How does this impact global culture and identity? 🔍 AI hallucinations & misinformation – Can we really trust AI to give us accurate information, or is it just making things up as it goes? AI isn’t here to replace us, but it is changing everything. So, how do we stay ahead? Let’s break it down and talk about what we can actually do. 💬 What’s your take on these AI trends?
