William Crawley and guests reflect on the death of Jason Arday, the former University of Cambridge professor who had been the subject of an investigation into his qualifications amid intense media scrutiny over claims of plagiarism and misrepresentation. The Catholic theologian and philosopher Dr Carmody Grey explains why she turned down an opportunity to discuss ethics with Anthropic, the AI giant behind the Claude chatbot. And Father Bashar Fawadleh, a priest in the last entirely Christian town in the West Bank, speaks about living with settler violence.
