AI is shaping how we live and work. Its potential feels limitless, constrained only by what we can imagine. According to the Microsoft Work Trend Index, 82% of leaders say they’re confident that they’ll use digital labor to expand workforce capacity in the next 12–18 months.

In episode 78 of The AI Fix, alien robot spiders invade Antarctica (or Facebook says they do), Mark prepares humanity for AI-powered fighter jets with loyalty issues, and Graham tries to work out why his AI-generated country music career hasn't yet paid for even a Tesco Meal Deal.

Mark asks the big question everyone is avoiding: are we in an AI bubble? Some are loudly shouting "yes" - even as trillions are still being hurled into data centres large enough to blot out the sun.

Plus an AI that needed a lie down after being asked one difficult question.
