Who’s behind the data dump disaster? – Plus Mystic Megatron, the A.I. psychic
About this episode
We read the papers so you don’t have to… Today: Two massive data breaches threaten Britain’s elections and Northern Ireland’s police officers. Who’s behind the data dumps? Plus, can A.I. write the pop music of the future? Google and Universal Music think so. But what about The Star’s A.I. psychics? And the Telegraph has a woke-gloat over vegan burger company Beyond Meat’s misfortunes.
Stand-up comic Fergus Craig and Marie le Conte of the New Statesman join Andrew Harrison to fight them on the column inches.
