Advertise on podcast: AI Haven't A Clue

Hollywood sold us humanoid robots, but the real AI revolution looks nothing like scifi. It’s spreading quietly into media, infrastructure and everyday life. Futurist Phil Rowley breaks down how AI is moving laterally across industries, why robots don’t need to look human to change the world (they look more like dogs) and how media, trust and power are being reshaped behind the scenes.

NYT Bestselling author Karen Hao lifts the lid on OpenAI’s cult-like AGI rituals, internal factions and burning effigies, revealing why today’s AI giants look more like empires than tech firms. We ask: who’s really in control of AI... and should we be worried? And we explore some of the weirdest stories we can find, from the never-ending Elon Musk vs Sam Altman soap opera, to robot police hitting the streets of China, to ANOTHER man falling in love with his chatbot.

An AI artist racks up millions of streams. A chart-topping song gets banned for being made by a machine, and SWEDEN is putting its foot down! From predictive policing straight out of Minority Report to AI data centres draining trillions of litres of water, the consequences of AI are getting very real, very fast. We break down the Grok scandal, ask whether Big Tech can really self-regulate, and hear directly from policy expert Sinead Coogan Jobes on why the UK thinks it’s got AI governance right and why others aren’t so sure. Contact us at aihaventaclue.com.

AI was meant to make life easier, so why is it now being called a public health emergency? Grok is under fire after generating harmful content, and now the UK government is stepping in. We're asking the big questions this week : Should AI be banned for under-16s? Are AI toys a public health risk? And has Big Tech gone to far this time? We're also touching on Chatgpt's new health feature, and how Apple and Google are joining forces.

Over 20% of videos recommended to new YouTube users are now AI-generated, but does it matter?

Plus, we’re joined by an anonymous artist who secretly hung AI-generated art inside a national museum — without permission — and sparked a debate about what art even means anymore.
