AI Shoes and Ireland’s Copper Shutdown

from Tech Radio Ireland · host TechCentral.ie

Episode 1112Shoes that are now AI, how your smart TV is spying on you and full movie leak on X are just some of the stories this week. We also look at the push for a definitive "off" switch for Ireland’s legacy copper network. While full fibre reaches new milestones, the transition isn't as simple as swapping a cable; it’s a logistical puzzle involving everything from elderly care panic buttons to the humble office fax machine. We look at why the UK is aiming for 2027 and what a copper-free Ireland might actually look like by 2030.Plus, our guest Barry Byrne joins us to preview Knowledge Summit Dublin, explaining why "Humans in the Loop" is the essential philosophy for navigating the AI era.For more on the event or to grab your tickets, go to: knowledgesummitdublin.com—----- Listen to Tech Radio now on Apple, Spotify and YouTubehttps://www.podfollow.com/tech
