Rare earth element boom poisoning Myanmar
Everyday AI: Your daily guide to grown with Generative AI
Growing demand for electric vehicles and wind turbines might look good for emissions, but there’s an environmental cost too. Regions, habitats and livelihoods in Myanmar are facing significant damage because the surge in demand for permanent magnets is driving up mining for rare earth elements according to a report from Global Witness. CEO Mike Davies tells us more.

Millions of gallons of water needed for new data centres in Chile during 30 year drought
Chile looks set to become the data centre capital of Latin America, with the country’s President announcing another 28 proposed developments. But these data centres require vast amounts of electricity to run and huge volumes of water to cool them. With the country experiencing a severe long term drought, predicted to last until 2040, how can building these centres benefit the environment and local communities. Rest of World Latin American reporter Daniela Dib has been investigating these concerns.
Concrete alternatives not very eco-friendly
New biobased building materials made from fungi and agricultural residues have been hailed as a possible environmentally friendly concrete replacement. However, new research suggests that these alternatives need huge amounts of electricity to produce and have a shorter lifespan than concrete. To discuss these potential issues as well as how to overcome them, the researcher behind the findings, Stefania Akromah of the University of Bristol joins us on the show.

Technology is not the problem (we are)…
Can we really lay the blame for our problems to the rise of technology or should be take responsibility for our actions and how we are choosing not to relate to the world around us? Author, tech journalist and comedian Timandra Harkness is on the show to challenge the way we think and deal with the choices presented to us by tech. Her new book “Technology is Not the Problem” explores the themes of our own self worth and of who we are. Are we choosing to lose ourselves to the choices that tech makes for us?Why do only a fifth of Brazilians have good internet access?
Everyday AI: Your daily guide to grown with Generative AI
According to The Brazilian Steering Internet Committee only 22% of Brazilians have satisfactory connection to the internet, despite just over 84% of people aged 10 and over, using it. Angelica Mari explains who has access and why the quality of the connections leaves much to be desired.

Indian Elections; deep fakes, false memes, and misinformation galore
Everyday AI: Your daily guide to grown with Generative AI
Resurrecting dead politicians in election campaigns online may sound unbelievable, but in the Indian elections it seems that almost anything is possible. From deep fakes and AI meme wars to bogus audio messages, Bangalore based investigative journalist Nilesh Christopher has been reporting on them all. He’s on the show to tell us how voters are being manipulated online.
A quarter of the world has experienced election internet censorship this year
Elections are happening in 60 countries around the world this year. Internet outages and restrictions were unfortunately to be expected in some countries. New analysis shows over 90% of voters in elections that have taken place so far this year live in countries where internet censorship has increased. These include India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, Taiwan, Senegal, Azerbaijan, Comoros and The Maldives. Top10VPN’s Head of Research Simon Migliano tells us more.

How AI is saving lives and languages in Ghana
Everyday AI: Your daily guide to grown with Generative AI
In general, people in the developing world are optimistic about the potential of AI. Of course, there are some concerns about job security and fairness, but overall, the positive outlook outweighs the negative. However, this is not the case in countries like Ghana, where suspicion and fear prevail. Interestingly, even with Google's significant presence in the country, the sentiment remains unchanged. That's why we have a special report on the state of AI in Ghana, covering everything from translation apps to healthcare. Our coverage of Ghana is thanks to author and journalist Sophia Smith Galer, who recently travelled across the country and has prepared a series of reports for us.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Wairimu Gitahi.

Can ‘small’ AI have a huge impact in sub Saharan Africa?
Everyday AI: Your daily guide to grown with Generative AI
Artificial intelligence is usually fed with large datasets allowing the technology to create what should be well balanced algorithms – but what happens when large data sets aren’t available or the impact of the AI could have a very significant impact on people’s lives? Researchers at Tufts University in the United States have started a program focusing on what they refer to as "small" AI - applications that have significantly positive impacts on individual lives and livelihoods. These applications are specifically designed, using models that have been trained on specialised datasets. Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business at the Fletcher School at Tufts and Abidemi Adisa, the author of the report, explain how farmers in Kenya can benefit significantly from AI.
Recycling e-waste in Kenya
A UN report recently said electronic waste is rising five times faster than documented e-waste recycling. In 2022, the waste was up over eighty per cent from 2010 and on track to rise by a third by the year 2030. We looked at the problem in Brazil a while back, but Africa has a growing e-waste problem too – and the stuff isn’t recycled in the same way as in developed countries. But could a recycling plant in Nairobi be helping – studio expert Wairimu Gitahi has more.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Wairimu Gitahi.

AI for peace – using artificial intelligence to manage conflict and maintain peace
With numerous ongoing conflicts in places like Sudan, Israel-Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and Syria, peace can seem scarce in today's world. However, artificial intelligence could play a role is managing wars. A new book titled “AI for Peace” provides a roadmap for using artificial intelligence to promote peace. While machine learning is often portrayed negatively, it has real potential for forecasting and preventing violence, combating hate speech, and addressing the root causes of conflict. Branka Panic, co-author, joins us to discuss how AI can be used to maintain peace.

World Cybercrime Index – Where are the cybercriminals hiding?
Russia leads the list of countries that host cybercrime, followed by Ukraine, China, the USA, Nigeria and Romania, according to a new study by an international team of researchers. The findings come from anonymous questionnaires completed by ninety-two cybercrime experts. The researchers say this survey approach overcomes a major challenge in investigating cybercrime - the anonymity of perpetrators who conceal their identities online. Dr Miranda Bruce, from the University of Oxford and New South Wales in Canberra is lead author and is on show.What is your data worth and can you use it like money?
“It’s where the future goes to be born”. That's one of the ways to describe Web Summit. It's a series of events around the globe that brings together some of the biggest names in tech. Over 34,000 attendees have just taken part in Web Summit Rio. Our own Angelica Mari sat down with Drumwave CEO and co-founder Andre Vellozo to discuss the infrastructures that will enable us to trade with our own data.

Is crypto currency supporting terrorism?
Everyday AI: Your daily guide to grown with Generative AI
With the phasing out of cash transactions we’ve seen a rise in digital and other transactions. One of the currencies that’s in the ascendancy are crypto currencies, whose place in the market according to Forbes magazine, has shifted from one of fear to neutral, and now to greed. In other words it’s hugely on the up. After facing some downturns a few years ago, it’s now collectively worth more than a trillion dollars. One of the reasons why people are drawn to crypto currencies is that they can offer a certain freedom from traditional banks and other financial authorities. But this freedom can also turn to anarchy and be used for more worrying purposes, as SOEP’s Shiroma Silva reports.
God-like? A 500-Year History of Artificial Intelligence in Myths, Machines, Monsters
Have we finally built a machine with higher intelligence that ourselves? That’s one of the issues that author and leading thinker on tech Kester Brewin explores in his latest book. Kester discusses with Gareth how myths, machines and monsters created over hundreds of years have influenced the development of AI and how we can now learn to live alongside it.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Peter Guest.

But this freedom can also turn to anarchy and be used for more worrying purposes, as SOEP’s Shiroma Silva reports.
God-like? A 500-Year History of Artificial Intelligence in Myths, Machines, Monsters
Have we finally built a machine with higher intelligence that ourselves? That’s one of the issues that author and leading thinker on tech Kester Brewin explores in his latest book. Kester discusses with Gareth how myths, machines and monsters created over hundreds of years have influenced the development of AI and how we can now learn to live alongside it.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Peter Guest.

Tech stories that matter – what should we be reporting on?
A little extra episode for our lovely SOEP Subscribers. Just over a year ago the BBC axed its flagship global tech radio show – Digital Planet. A few of the listeners (we did have 1.5million downloads a year BTW) got together in London to reminisce and remember the programme. Here’s a short recording from that evening where some of the team discussed what stories they would have been covering if Digital Planet was still on air. Hopefully we’re reporting on them here on Somewhere on Earth – if not let us know what we should be doing!
This show is presented by Gareth Mitchell with studio experts Ghislaine Boddington and Bill Thompson.Support the Show.
