Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull on LBC Radio to discuss the results of a study by Microsoft on the impact of AI on job availability. Should we be far more concerned about how AI will change the employment landscape, and how will society adapt to deal with so many losing their jobs to AI systems? The environmental impact of AI needs to be tackled as energy requirements far exceed current availability. Plus will we see AI integrated into our brains?

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull on LBC to discuss the announcement by the UK government of the introduction of a compulsory smartphone based digital ID, which could be required when working, renting a property, and a lot more. What information will the ID store, what form will it take, who would have access, and do we want so much information about us centrally stored with the ever present danger of the database being hacked, and is it an unwarranted intrusion on our privacy and security?
Questions raised include
- What happens if you lose your smartphone that contains the ID app?
- What if you don't own or want a smartphone?
- What if future governments have more authoritarian intentions?
- What if you're homeless?
- Is this a creeping Big Brother?
- Are there other motives to these IDs?
- Can we minimise the data we currently share?

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Stephen Jardine to discuss the plans by the UK government to introduce ID Cards. What information will these cards contain, and what concerns does having to carry such a card raise? With personal privacy and the potential of data breaches, should we be agreeing to having so much of our personal data stored centrally and accessible this way?

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull on LBC to discuss the new tech agreement between the UK and United States. The UK/US Tech Prosperity Deal covers up to ten years and encompasses AI, Quantum computing, Nuclear and Fusion technology, and Space defence. With a highly transactional US administration what is in it for the UK, is it wise to be building up to 12 nuclear reactors to power some of this technology, and could it all harm relations with our other trading partners?
Plus a scam warning; Be on the lookout for emails claiming to be from the government asking if you received the recent emergency alert test to your mobile device, because the emails are fake and can install malware on your device.

Fevzi Turklp, the Gadget Detective, joins Natasha Devon on LBC Radio to discuss whether the instantaneous access we all enjoy has a positive or negative impact on our lives, with some arguing humanity was better off when we didn't have immediate information on global events and issues as they happen. Can the genie be put back in the bottle, or is the genie out and going feral?

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull on LBC to discuss the latest tech news, including the launch of the new Apple products, including the iPhone 17 with its brighter pro-motion display and improved selfie camera. Also a look at other phones that are available at a lower price but offer similar functionality, such as the Murena version of the Fairphone 6, which is self repairable and upgradable, and uses a de-Googled version of Android which doesn't harvest user data. Finally, looking to the future, will we still be carrying smartphones in ten years' time, or will they have been replaced by other tech offering features currently not even dreamed of?
