Description

On today’s episode, we explore the very human side of artificial intelligence. AI doesn’t just “know” how to speak, reason, or relate — it has to be taught. And the ones doing the teaching? They’re called AI trainers. Psychologist Dr. Kirin Hillier, professor Talal Abdul Ghani Shaikh, and U.S.-based AI trainer Isaiah Kwong-Murphy join us to reveal the fascinating, ethical, and sometimes surprising world of training machines to think — and even sound — like us.

Also on the show, the Arab Child Summit returns to Expo City Dubai. Co-founder Reem Madkour and education leader Dr. Ghadeer Abu-Shamat ask a vital question: how do we raise children who are deeply rooted in Arab culture while thriving in a globalised world?

Plus, Dr. Vinayak Pavate explains new research linking oral hygiene to heart health, while Amna Al Owais from DIFC Courts breaks down what every expat family needs to know about wills and protecting their legacy in the UAE.

And finally, domestic abuse in our communities remains one of the least discussed but most serious issues. Mary Justine Todd, founder of Shamsaha, highlights the hidden forms of abuse and the support systems available here in the UAE.
