Summary

Seamus Malekafzali returns to the show to talk to us about a report into the BBC’s reporting by a law firm that alleges the organisation is not sympathetic enough to Israel… but don’t worry about the report being biased, they used ChatGPT! Also, we talk about Elon Musk’s blanketing South Memphis in methane gas, and look at executive misbehaviour at Neom (which, wouldn’t you know it, is a kind of French Foreign Legion for senior businesspeople who are unhireable anywhere else).

We found a use case for AI, which is doing PR for Israel.

0:09.0

I would hope that no one would have to use an AI to work out that I'm being mean to Israel.

But, you know, if people want to duplicate their labor.

This is someone who also has been like complaining to the BBC's guy Trevor Asserson. He's been complaining to the BBC for years.

0:21.9

He has just one guy?

0:23.6

Well, he owns a law firm.

0:24.9

He runs a law firm that's based in London and Tel Aviv.

0:27.6

And, you know, he's his, he loves complaining about the BBC.

0:30.4

He's been doing it for decades.

0:31.4

And so he says, the Asserson report analyzed the BBC's coverage during the four-month period

0:35.7

beginning October 7th. A team of 20 lawyers and 20 data scientists contributed to the research, which used AI to analyze 9 million words

0:42.2

of BBC output, identifying 1,553 breaches of editorial guidelines regarding impartiality, accuracy,

1:20.8

What you saw were a bunch of TikToks that got out of hand. Yeah. Also, men's mental health.

1:26.2

Like, that seems to be like a go-to case.

1:28.3

It's like, oh, they're just, they're doing it as like a trauma response.
