For decades, AI stagnated with only a few dedicated scientists working on it. But in 2012, a researcher at the University of Toronto made a breakthrough — and every major tech company wanted in on it. They were convinced that AI was the next big thing, destined to change the world the way the personal computer, internet, and smart phone all had in previous decades. The race to be the leader would soon become cutthroat.

It was a routine drugs investigation until it wasn't. Drug investigators were targeting a Philadelphia drug ring pushing opioids. It was the biggest in the city and they believed it was being supplied by Dr Kermit Barron Gosnell - a much liked and respected physician operating the The Women's Medical Society Clinic.
Listen to the wiretaps, the secret recordings, and the dealer-turned police informants as investigators get closer to the source of the drugs flooding the city streets. But suddenly, one curious cop gets new information. The informants talk about a filthy clinic with unqualified staff and vague details about a dead woman. It's enough to make Detective Jim Wood want to investigate further. What is really going on behind those doors? Listen to the jailhouse interviews of Dr. Gosnell maintaining his innocence as investigators slowly realize that they might have accidentally uncovered a serial killer.

On Saturday, the militant and terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel. They massacred hundreds of innocent people. And Israel retaliated with its own airstrikes which, in turn, has killed many people including civilians. It’s an incredibly sad time for the region and the world and we hope it comes to an end soon.
But how did we get to this? And what have been the economic implications of this long-standing war? In today’s episode for 12th October 2023, we try and explain this century-old conflict. Remember, we’re not geopolitical experts but we’ll try and condense it as best as we can. So brace yourself.

It’s 1895 and Chicago’s a boom town that’s overflowing with pharmacies. But one drugstore is about to emerge from the city’s mass of small-time drugstores and become a national force.
It’s name is Walgreens and by the late 20th century it will be spreading nationwide and looking unbeatable.
But then a multi-billion-dollar shoe company bets everything on a little New England drugstore chain called CVS.

With the popularity of ChatBots exploding, Microsoft invests billions of dollars into AI-assisted internet search,trying to strike at Google’s core business. Google answers back with its own ChatBot “Bard”. And Facebook makes a surprising move to stay in the race. But more people start to have questions about whether the disruptions to society are worth the benefits.

Google is the undisputed leader in the race to dominate AI, in part because of its reputation as a company with strong corporate ethics. But as questions about the morality and efficacy of AI become more pronounced, Google finds itself mired in internal conflicts and bad PR. Google’s stagnation gives Microsoft an opportunity to team up with an ambitious start-up called OpenAI. When OpenAI releases ChatGPT, the chatbot shakes up the AI landscape and puts Google on its heels.
