1 mei 2026 · 45 min
Would you break up with someone over their ChatGPT history? Lees meer
A woman discovers her boyfriend has been using ChatGPT to analyse their relationship, including, listing her flaws, questioning his feelings, and ultimately asking AI if he should break up with her.
It didn’t end well.
And we dive into the biggest stories in AI right now: Elon Musk vs OpenAI and why it’s now heading to court, the growing AI war between the US and China, Taylor Swift locking down her identity to fight AI clones, Spotify’s AI music problem (and why no one can tell what’s real anymore).

Anthropic's Mythos : Is this the moment AI becomes dangerous?
24 april 2026 · 52 min
This week, Anthropic unveil a brand new model so powerful it’s being deliberately kept out of public hands over fears it could destabilise cybersecurity, economies… and more. Lees meer
Some are calling it a breakthrough. Others are calling it a warning.
We're breaking down the “Mythos” model and why even governments are paying attention, and whether this is genuine risk or just clever PR. And ELSEWHERE, the AI race is heating up! Apple makes a bold move that could redefine how we experience AI, the UK risks falling behind as companies quietly move AI operations abroad, and OpenAI’s expansion hits a very British obstacle… Victorian cobblestones!
Plus, we dive into a new study suggesting AI might actually be changing the way we think : reducing memory, critical thinking, and creativity.
And in the weirdest corner of the internet:
An AI influencer making thousands… and a wearable AI “friend” that listens to your life and talks back.This episode asks a big question:
Are we building tools to help us… or something we won’t be able to control?Contact us over at aihaventaclue.com

The UK Just Lost a Major AI Deal…BUT Will Arsenal Use AI to Win the League?
17 april 2026 · 55 min
Is the UK already losing the AI race… and what does that mean for all of us?
This week we unpack the shock pause of a major OpenAI data centre project in the UK and why it could signal deeper problems with infrastructure, regulation, and global competition. Lees meerBut that’s just the start. We dive into the growing tension between governments, Big Tech, and the public as AI investment collides with real-world limitations. Are we too reliant on American tech giants? And is the UK missing its moment to lead?
Plus, AI coworkers are quietly creeping into meetings, inboxes, and daily workflows, but not everyone is happy about it. From bots taking notes to employees pushing back against being “monitored,” we explore the workplace culture clash no one has solved yet.
And finally: is the AI bubble about to burst? With billions being poured into tools that people still don’t fully trust, we break down the difference between real innovation… and overhyped expectations.

84% Of The WORLD Has NEVER Used AI… But Why?
27 februari 2026 · 51 min
Two of the most powerful people on Earth aren’t politicians. They’re tech CEOs. Lees meer
We're questioning the mindset driving today’s AI leaders. From Sam Altman comparing AI training to raising a human, to accusations of mass data theft between global rivals, the stakes are no longer theoretical.
We examine: The AI arms race between America and China, whether big tech can be trusted with your private data, the rise of AI wearables that will sit on your face, in your ears, and inside your home AND the uncomfortable truth about how little most of the world understands what’s coming.

Is AI crossing the line from helpful to horrifying? Lees meer
This week on AI Haven’t a Clue, things get wild.

The AI WARS Are Here: Meta, Microsoft & Google Go All In — and Phil Rowley Predicts What’s Next
1 augustus 2025 · 54 min
The tech giants are throwing down: Meta’s spending $69 billion on AI. Microsoft’s investing even more. Google’s rewriting search itself. So… what does it all mean for us? Lees meer
In this episode of AI Haven’t a Clue, futurist Phil Rowley joins George and James to unpack the escalating AI arms race and what it means for everything from entertainment to everyday life. AI-generated movie endings (without the directors permission!), NPCs that think for themselves, and algorithms that shape what we play, watch and hear, we look at all of the ways AI is shaping creativity.
And that's not all! We break down the four forces reshaping the future: democratisation, diffusion, dimensionalisation, and dismantling. Phil explains why AI might not replace human creativity, but radically extend it — and why the next big entertainment trend could come from someone with just a smartphone. Plus, the AI Challenge returns: can you tell which presenters are real and which are AI-generated fakes?
