Ready for a TechTime ride through the transformative world of Artificial Intelligence? Brace yourself, as we discuss Hollywood’s tilt toward AI and the concerns around its potential role in background acting. The ride doesn’t stop there – we also navigate the seas of artificial intelligence in music production and Microsoft’s new AI Co-Pilot. Plus, we chew over the shift in Twitter’s ad revenue tide ever since Elon Musk stepped in, and the revolutionary bionic eye’s potential to restore vision.

Hang on tight as we switch gears to the pulsating beats of the music industry with Noraya, a captivating DJ and producer from London. She passionately elaborates on the irreplaceable human connection music engenders, standing firm in her belief that AI can never mimic this magic. Furthermore, we delve into Google’s AI chatbot expansion to 40 languages, and its innovative use of vocals for repetition.

Venturing into the realms of medicine, we discuss genetic manipulation and AI’s role in it. Unravel the ethical debates that surround genetic editing and explore the intriguing science of the human eye.  The Science Eye is a prosthetic that is implanted atop a human eyeball. We tap into the visions of the future with AI-driven bio-implants, and deliberate over Microsoft’s pricing strategy for its AI Copilot. To top it all, we wrap up the episode with a whiskey tasting of Old Granddad 114.
