Meet the Meat Proxies
What happens when people become 'meat proxies' for AI? Also on the show, Lyse Doucet on reporting from Afghanistan under the Taliban, and the executive producer of The Grand Tour.
'Meat proxy' is a new term coined to describe someone who acts as a human conduit for material generated by AI. Software engineer Niklas Gruhn, who came up with the phrase, joins Will Oremus of The Atlantic and Fortune’s Diane Brady to discuss how much AI is being used in journalism and when readers should be told about it.
Five years after US troops withdrew from Afghanistan and the Taliban returned to power, Lyse Doucet has been back in the country, including visiting one of the secret schools set up for girls. BBC News’ Chief International Correspondent discusses what it takes to report from Afghanistan now, the restrictions she encountered and the difficult decisions involved in protecting contributors.
A new series of The Grand Tour has three new presenters following the departure of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. This time, social media creators are taking over the long-running motoring show. Phil Churchward, its director and executive producer, explains how they were chosen.
