    AI Automation: Why Entry-Level Jobs are Vanishing (and What to Do)

    Is the "college premium" hitting a digital wall? Join Lucian, Emily, and Mark as we investigate the 2026 Graduate Winter and why AI is replacing junior roles faster than the C-suite. In this episode of the podcast, our panel of experts breaks down the 33% drop in entry-level job postings and the rise of "Agentic Payments"—software agents making independent financial decisions on your behalf. We explore the dangerous "knowledge debt" created when companies stop training juniors and explain the "Golden Set" methodology required to keep AI models accurate. Whether you are a recent grad or a business leader, learn why the human-in-the-loop is the only thing standing between progress and permanent "algorithmic regression."

    GSE Update: AI Data Explorer, SAML SSO, and Impact Metrics

    Stop just sharing data and start measuring your actual impact on global fraud. In this session, the leadership team at Oxford Information Labs breaks down the latest GSE release and how we're using AI to dismantle cyber threats. In this deep dive, Lucian, Emily, and Mark explore the transition from building a platform to measuring real-world success in the fight against scams. We discuss the critical role of "boring" tech like SAML Single Sign-On for public sector security, the introduction of the GSE Index, and the difference between disrupting and dismantling threats. Plus, get an exclusive first look at GSE Compass, our new AI-driven data explorer that allows you to query over a billion signals using natural language. We wrap up with a developer’s review of Sanity Studio and why it’s a game-changer for structured content management.

    Stay Secure: Navigating the New Era of Identity and Robotics

    Is your privacy being traded for "safety" in the 2026 identity revolution? From Discord’s mandatory biometric scans to humanoid robots in our living rooms, we break down the tech shifts you can't afford to ignore. In this episode of the Internet Seriously podcast, we analyse the massive cultural and technical shift occurring as platforms move away from pseudonymity. We dive into the controversial "Brussels Effect" of global regulation, the breathtaking (and slightly terrifying) agility of China’s new Unitree humanoid robots, and whether "iRoot Safe" can actually protect your 3D home maps from foreign servers. We also get interrupted by our own security systems forcing a reset! Whether you're a privacy advocate or a robotics enthusiast, you’ll learn how the "mess of life" is the final frontier for AI and what it means for your digital sovereignty.

    AI in Research: Prompt Engineering & The Human-in-the-Loop

    Can AI actually help us stop scammers by "thinking" like them? Join Emily Taylor and the Oxford Information Labs team as they reveal how they’re using advanced AI to analyse 70 million scam signals without losing the "human touch." In this deep dive, we explore the methodology behind our latest study into scam and fraud victims, supported by Google.org. You’ll learn how "Prompt Engineering" and "Human Review" work together to process massive datasets that would take a human lifetime to read. We move beyond "victim blaming" terminology to look at how scammers target specific groups—from the "neurospicy" community to the bereaved—and discuss why AI is an essential, ethical tool for protecting researchers from traumatising content.

    Inside the Global Signal Exchange: Scaling to 1 Billion Signals

    How do we stop scammers who move faster than the law? In this episode, we go behind the scenes of the Global Signal Exchange (GSE) to reveal how a billion-signal database is revolutionising the fight against global fraud. Join Emily, Lucien, and Mark from Oxford Information Labs as they discuss the technical architecture and real-world impact of the GSE. Discover how a landmark "Malvertising" pilot between Google and Amazon proved that even the world’s largest platforms have blind spots that only collaborative signal sharing can fix. We dive into the "Big Tech" partnerships, the use of AI and LLMs for threat classification, and why "making it a sport" through league tables is encouraging providers to clean up the internet's supply chain.

Plus, we explore the shift from AI "slop" to high-value cognitive tools and provide a blunt review of the Sonos software meltdown—proving that even your home speakers aren't safe from the "internet of broken things."
