Tech Care is back for a 4th Season!

Season 4 brings new Tech Care stories. This season, we go abroad in more episodes and try to go deeper into some complex issues. In the first episode, where we are joined by Malcolm Fisk, Professor of Ageing and Lifecourse at the University of Central Lancashire.

Working with social theory, Malcolm shares how we – as human beings – interact with technology and machines. He introduces the big dilemma that we are currently facing in a somewhat man vs. machine discourse: Are we controlling the development of technologies, or we are controlled by it?

We also touch upon the use of AI and how we can (if we can) control or even leverage it. Our discussion also spans across how can health and social care tackle the introduction of AI at a much higher level and rapid pace?

Happy listening & Tech Care!

PS: AI is used in this episode! Due to technical issues with Sangha’s recording, we have used voice cloning for her voice to save the episode. Quite ironic, isn’t it!
