Should we use AI to make legal decisions?

Could Artificial Intelligence be used by judges in our courts - and even help make legal decisions? It's a technology that's already being adopted by legal systems in other parts of the world, including a court in the Chinese city of Shenzhen where it is has helped judges navigate over 600,000 small claims cases. Other countries are more cautious, and maintain that AI should never replace human judicial decisions. What are acceptable uses of AI in the judicial system, and what areas should be off limits? So far, in England, Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland, there have been AI pilots for legal administrative work and transcription services. In England and Wales, there are also plans for AI legal assistants to help with routine casework and help judges decide which cases are ready to be heard in court. It's an issue which has been considered by Sir Geoffrey Vos - the recently retired Master of the Rolls, Head of Civil Justice in England and Wales. He speaks to Joelle about his findings and how he thinks we the legal system could benefit from AI - and the areas he thinks should be off limits. Plus: is it illegal to buy the books of Irish author Sally Rooney, since she made public that she would like to donate her royalties to the proscribed group Palestine Action? The Independent Reviewer of Terrorism legislation, Jonathan Hall KC, explains the law.

Mike Repole, entrepreneur: You’ve got to keep challenging

“They used to ask champions like Kobe [Bryant] and Tom Brady, ‘which championship is your favourite?’ - and they would say ‘the next one’. The next one, that's what they wanted. Life is a journey, and they say it's better than the destination… but I don't believe that there is a destination. Your destination is a hundred years from now when we're not here, so just keep going - you just keep pushing, keep challenging.” Hannah Mullane speaks to American entrepreneur Mike Repole. The 57-year-old New Yorker’s journey to the top of the US beverage industry had a very humble beginning at a supermarket in Queens, where he’d stack shelves as a teenager. In 1999, he co-founded Glaceau, the manufacturer behind Vitaminwater. The business grew rapidly, and just 8 years later, he made headlines when it was sold to Coca Cola in a deal worth over 4 billion US dollars. But despite the huge windfall, Repole opted against retiring. Instead he went on to launch new business ventures, partnering with some of the biggest names in sport, including Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady. As of 2026, Forbes has estimated his wealth at 2.5 billion US dollars. Thank you to the Business Daily team for their help in making this programme.

Behind the Scenes of China's Fifth Plenum

In this episode of Pekingology, Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Victor Shih, one of the world's leading experts in Chinese politics, as well as Edgard Kagan, Freeman Chair in China Studies at CSIS, to unpack the Chinese Communist Party's 5th Plenum - a critical meeting in which Xi Jinping sought to strengthen the Party and reinforce his personal control over it. Henrietta, Victor, and Edgard discuss why the plenums still matter in an era of one-man rule, why this plenum elevated so-called "intra-party democracy," what it's actually like to attend the plenum, and what this all means for U.S.-China relations.

Экономика терпеливых: стоит ли жертвовать частью сегодня ради завтра

Нас с детства учат терпению. Но действительно ли оно сопутствует успеху и какую роль играет в экономике? Об этом новый выпуск «Экономики на слух» с ректором РЭШ Антоном Суворовым и профессором факультета экономики Европейского университета в Санкт-Петербурге Юлией Вымятниной. Они рассказывают о самых разных исследованиях по этой многогранной теме. Когда, например, отказ от настоящего в пользу будущего оправдан, а когда терпеть и ждать не лучшая стратегия и для человека, и для общества? Как мозг принимает решение подождать? И как связаны готовность терпеть, доход человека, его социальный статус и ситуация в экономике? Можно ли сказать, что более терпеливые нации еще и более богатые? И правда ли, что, как говорил Михаил Жванецкий, если хочешь всего и сразу, то получаешь ничего и постепенно.

David Robinson, former OpenAI leader: Why I quit over safety

“It's a cultural thing. There's an aspect of this that's a Silicon Valley belief that what's invented in California has a special status. I implored colleagues to bring people in from other industries. And people said to me ‘well they can't imagine how powerful AI is, and they can picture what we're doing’ and there's really a sense that the people in the Bay Area are a special group with some special franchise to understand and deal with this technology.” Rick Edwards speaks to David Robinson, who until recently led safety and transparency at OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. Robinson resigned because he no longer believed that the industry was doing enough to protect us from the risks posed by increasingly powerful artificial intelligence systems. He warns that Silicon Valley’s culture of overconfidence is leaving us exposed to systems that are becoming harder to control. He explains what AI companies could learn from industries with decades of experience managing serious risks, and what needs to change to keep the technology safe.

Brazil's Elections: Why Lula's Win Matters for Global Security

Dr Daniela Portella Sampaio joins Dr Andrew Gee to discuss the security implications of Brazil's 2026 election and Lula's fourth term. On 25 October 2026, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva narrowly defeated far-right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro to win a fourth term as Brazil's president. Dr Andrew Gee, Director of the International Security Research Group at RUSI, is joined by Dr. Daniela Portella Sampaio, Senior Research Fellow for Latin American Security. They discuss what the result means for international security, for competition between the US and China, and for the fight against organised crime across South America. In this episode: Flávio Bolsonaro's flight to the US while under investigation, and what it means for US–Brazil relations. How Lula's win reshapes US–China competition in Brazil, including the BRICS group of emerging economies and the US dollar. Why Brazil's dominance of critical minerals such as niobium matters for global defence supply chains. Tackling organised crime and drug trafficking across South America. How an opposition-dominated Congress and right-wing state governors could constrain Lula. Strains in Mercosur, South America's main trading bloc. Opportunities for UK–Brazil defence and security cooperation.

The Long War Doctrine: Gen. Mick Ryan

Michael is joined by retired Australian Army Major General Mick Ryan to examine frontline developments in Israel and Ukraine, as well as the rapidly evolving nature of modern warfare. Fresh off a research trip to Israel, General Ryan details the IDF's shift toward an enduring, lower-tempo security posture in Gaza alongside emerging operational threats like Hezbollah's fiber-optic drones. He also dissects the operational breakthrough of Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi, the strategic realities behind Starlink reliance, and why tactical sensor coverage does not equate to a truly "transparent battlefield."
