Download MP3In this episode, we explore the role of artificial intelligence in various sectors, starting with Bloomsbury's chief executive Nigel Newton, who believes AI can help authors overcome writer's block without replacing them. He emphasizes the enduring appeal of renowned authors, as seen in Bloomsbury's recent success with Sarah J Maas's popular series. We then shift to Nytro Marketing's new Lead Generation Assessment tool, designed to optimize marketing strategies.

The conversation turns to OpenAI's mental health initiatives, addressing the impact of ChatGPT on users with mental health concerns, and Sam Altman's new venture, Merge Labs, which offers a non-invasive alternative to brain implants. We also highlight the rise in AI-generated workplace fraud and the tools being deployed to combat it.
