Dirty Laundry, Rapid AI and A Gigantic Surplus.

It’s shaping up to be the great question of our time; AI is moving at a pace that its creators never really expected. This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston asks can we control it before it controls us when she talks to Sarah Mayer West of the AI Now Institute. And back home, as organised crime featured large in the news this week, Mandy looks at the figures involved and where and how criminal gangs are stashing their money in the modern era with John Mooney of the Sunday Times. And finally bumper revenues and exports were outlined this week by Government and Enterprise Ireland. Mandy is joined by Cliff Taylor of the Irish Times to outline what this might mean for the future and if tax cuts will be a major discussion point in the months ahead for the Government.
