About this listen

Welcome to episode 2 of the Guardians of Data podcast. This is a show where we explore the world of information law and information governance - from privacy and AI to cybersecurity and freedom of information. In each episode we will be speaking with experts and practitioners to unpack the big issues shaping the IG profession.

Over the past few weeks, one AI tool has become the centre of an international controversy. Grok, the AI chatbot developed by xAI and integrated into the social media platform X, has caught the attention of governments and regulators across the world after it was used to edit pictures of real women to show them in revealing clothes and suggestive poses.

In this episode, we discuss these issued with Lynn Wyeth who is an expert in AI, data protection and responsible technology.
