Find out how artificial intelligence is changing space travel — from planning smarter missions to possibly saving Earth from rogue asteroids.

    Back on Earth, we unpack the latest AI headlines:

    • Apple says AI models are faking it till they make it (and failing at hard stuff)

    • Teachers get the go-ahead to let AI mark homework

    • AI might just be your new work/life balance coach

  • Can AI Save the Planet (but Not Your Exam Results)?
    Jun 6 2025

    From fashion fixes to therapy bots and the return of actual handwriting, this episode of AI Haven’t a Clue has it all.

    George (on actual holiday, not AI-generated) and James tackle the latest AI headlines:
    – Why AI might work better when we’re mean to it (sorry, robot feelings)
    – Why Klarna’s customer service robot might need customer service itself
    – Why students are putting down ChatGPT and picking up pens (yes, really)
    – And why your next therapist might be... a chatbot. What could go wrong?

    Plus, we chat to Ahmed Zaidi, founder of Hyran Technologies, about using AI to tackle fast fashion’s waste problem — because if AI can’t save the planet, at least it might help your wardrobe make less guilt-ridden choices.

    There’s also another AI Challenge in the mix, and James tackles a listener question about how the UK can stay ahead in the AI race. (Jetpacks not included.)

  • AI STOLE MY VOICE! - The Shocking Reality of AI and Voice Cloning
    May 30 2025

    AI is stealing voices. Yours could be next.

    In this episode of AI Haven’t a Clue, hosts George Butler and James Chandler chat with three top voiceover artists caught in the crossfire of the AI revolution. Kasey Logan is cloning her voice. Peter Dickson (yes, the X Factor guy) is watching the chaos unfold. And Gayanne Potter? Her voice is turning up on Scottish Rail announcements — and she never gave permission.

    We also dissect the latest AI headlines: Darth Vader goes synthetic, Apple courts devs with AI toys, and Microsoft’s CEO ditches podcasts for transcripts.

    And finally, take our AI Voice Challenge: can you tell who’s real and who’s a robot?

    This is one episode you really don’t want to miss — unless you’re a robot trying to learn how to steal someone’s identity. In which case... please don’t.

  • Hey AI, What Time Is It? Oh Right… You Still Can’t Tell!
    May 23 2025

    New research reveals that despite writing essays and predicting storms, theres something AI models still can't reliably do... We also dive into Google's bold move to embed chatbots directly into search, and how AI is revolutionising weather forecasts (finally, a reason to trust your weather app?).

    We're joined by Dr. John Woodward – who’s here to blow our tiny human minds.

    From self-writing algorithms to AI copilots in military jets, Dr. Woodward breaks down what’s coming next, what jobs might vanish (gulp), and what skills the next generation really needs to survive the AI apocalypse (spoiler: it's not interpretive dance… yet). We also chat about AI in medicine, the global arms race for smarter machines, and how on earth we’re supposed to spot a fake AI image these days.

    PLUS: The hosts take on the AI Song Challenge – can they guess which tunes were made by a human, and which were cooked up in a synthetic sound lab? Can they pass the test? And can you do better?

  • AI Is Talking To My Dog AND Replacing Celebrities?!
    May 16 2025

    Does your cat really love you? Or is it just hungry? Can we use AI to tell us exactly what our pet is thinking?

    This week we are diving into the Chinese tech that claims it can translate what our animals are trying to tell us, we tackle the gender pay gap and look at the passionate plea from musicians and creatives who are basically yelling 'AI, stop nicking our stuff!'. We also answer your question, this week its all abot whether we are regulating AI, or just hoping for the best.

    But that's not all, Tobias Allen from Fanvue joins us to explain why people are forming emotional bonds with AI Influencers, why we should be making digital versions of ourselves and what the future of celebrities will look like.

    💬 Got a burning AI question? Email us at aihaventaclue@gmail.com slide into our DMs on LinkedIn, or socials @haventaiclue — we’ll pretend it was our idea.
