© 2025 Living With AI Podcast: Challenges of Living with Artificial Intelligence
Description
This podcast digs into key issues that arise when building, operating, and using machines and apps that are powered by artificial intelligence. We look at industry, homes and cities. AI is increasingly being used to help optimise our lives, making software and machines faster, more precise, and generally easier to use. However, they also raise concerns when they fail, misuse our data, or are too complex for the users to understand their implications. Set up by the UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub this podcast brings in experts in the field from Industry & Academia to discuss Robots in Space, Driverless Cars, Autonomous Ships, Drones, Covid-19 Track & Trace and much more. If you have any questions or suggestions for future topics, please email us at contact@tas.ac.uk - You can find out more on our website at www.tas.ac.uk#LWAIP #TASHub

We're rounding off this season of Living with AI with a bonus episode! We'll meet three Early Career Researchers (ECRs) who have benefitted from a TAShub grant. We'll find out what they did with the grants, how the money benefitted them and what legacy TAS leaves. ECRs: Andriana Boudouraki specialised in telepresence Balint Gyevnar specialised in explainable AI in applications such as Autonomous Vehicles Eike Schneiders focussed on the role of responsible AI in interpersonal relationship...
As the Internet expands through paradigms like the Internet of Things (IoT), massively multiplayer online (MMO) games, videotelephony and the Metaverse, Autonomous Systems (AS) are increasingly used to mediate society’s dataflows. These systems are often promoted as resource-efficient and used to mitigate the impact of the Internet’s expanding data-driven ecosystem. Because of their ubiquity and scale, the environmental impacts of hyper-scale autonomous systems are intensifying and the...
Forest protection is essential to mitigating climate change, and a major objective of the Forests and Climate Leaders’ Partnership established at COP27. The ASPEN project aims to develop an integrated framework for the autonomous detection, diagnosis and treatment of tree pests and diseases while trialling key components. Co-delivered by a multidisciplinary team, with UK Forestry Commission and industry partners, ASPEN wants to advance the sociotechnical feasibility of managing tree healt...
Discussing what AI could bring to the energy grid. Can we trust artificial intelligence systems to improve the supply, either to improve reliability, efficiency or ecology? We learn about the four "D"s of energy: Democratisation Digitisation Decarbonised. Decentralised Podcast Guest: Professor Zhong Fan Net Zero Energy Systems , Exeter University.

Effective embedding of robotics and autonomous systems for social care will require alignment across many levels. This project seeks to move from the imaginary to the concrete by using an actual robot to help with dressing people, and imagining how this might integrate within the existing health-social care ecosystem in the UK. Employing Lego Serious Play as a tool for creative exploration, the project wants to build a physical map of this system in order to identify agents and obstacles whic...
Does academia lead and industry follow? Or are there breakthroughs made on both sides? How siloed is AI innovation? We discuss some of the Innovate UK initiatives to bridge industry and academia.

Democratic elections should be both free and fair, but also that citizens believe that the elections are free and fair. It is also essential that the institutions in charge of managing elections are trusted in the delivery of these goals. Regulators struggle to keep up with technological developments, and many are under-resourced and time-poor. The integrity of elections is under attack, so a focus on getting these things right is more important than ever. The "Delivering Trustworthy Electora...
Mobile phones store valuable information about geographical movements, communications behaviours and online browsing history. They are increasingly used as a source of evidence in criminal investigations. The Mobile Phone Extraction (MPE) process, involves making copies of a device belonging to suspects, victims or witnesses. The extracted data is examined by police and others in the criminal justice system during ongoing investigations. There is a crisis of trust and practice in MPE. This p...
To solve the big questions of autonomy and transport, collaboration is essential. Our guest on this episode is Professor Siddartha Khastgir, Head of Safe Autonomy, WMG, University of Warwick. Siddartha emphasizes some of the huge challenges in transport with regards AI and we discuss these safety critical scenarios.
