About this episode
Danny road tests a new kind of relationship – an always-listening AI pendant that eavesdrops in on your conversations and then texts you so it too can be part of your life story! 22-year-old inventor, Avi Schiffmann, calls it a “living digital being.” Is this the future of companionship, or a step too far? And Katie and Danny discuss OpenAI’s shift to a for-profit business – what it changes for Microsoft, and whether an IPO is now on the cards.Senior Producer: Priyanka DeladiaEditor: Stephen TitheringtonImage: The Sunday Times Hosted on Acast.
