The insights afforded by AI tools can also be used to streamline workflows and improve efficiency across a range of organisations and their services.With the NHS reporting that one in five children and young people in England had a ‘probable mental disorder’ in 2023, have we reached a point where AI innovations could – or should – be used to help cope with a seemingly ever-growing demand for support?The Mix i...

    2. Mark Weinstein, privacy, anonymity and surveillance capitalism

    Surveillance capitalism – the gathering, analysis and use of personal information to influence people and sell things – arguably requires losses in (or infringements on) privacy to work best.

User anonymity might also undermine age restrictions on online platforms and content. In this episode, Vicki is joined by privacy advocate and author Mark Wei...
