We're back after a bit of a summer break and present our newest video episode in style - with brand new presenters, visuals, music, and a story rich in precious secrets - literally!

Follow our protagonist Gwen as she discovers more than just one mystery on her somewhat off-track journey through the forest and learns a secret or two about herself along the way.

Our AI goats of the episode are no less precious as we cover efforts of US politics to regulate AI, the potential of simulated data for surgical solutions, and new releases by big players in the field.

So, tune those prompts to tune in promptly!

(Always a bit but never fully sorry for the dad-jokes around here)

Once again, your favourite human hosts emerge from the algorithm. This time, they bring you the story of a painter and her subject- the latter claiming that he also just emerged from a rather mysterious place- the future, if you can believe it. Don’t worry if you can’t- you’re in good company, for our painter also doesn’t believe her subject initially. But you know what time’s like- it gets weirder as it goes on, so our artist might come around after all and pick up the hints around her. Listen to this week’s episode to find out!

We also bring you a quality-packed section of AI-news stories as we venture into the freshest developments in AI-generated music, a more careful corporate approach to the latest GenAI-rush, as well as the potential risks of AI trained on its own generations. Finally, we explore how the technology could be used for something genuinely good and promising, to leave you on a positive note.

Make sure to look out for us from your clouds as we float through the algorithms- we might just fly by one near you!

Ever wondered what a conversation between AI about AI, created with AI, presented by AI might sound like?

Well, look no further, as this week, our AI presenters bring you GPT-4’s take on the conversation between the president of a futuristic nation and her assistant with AGI-level capabilities. While this is a work of pure fiction (and you don’t have to worry about current bots achieving these levels of skill and sophistication any time soon) that doesn’t mean this week’s debated points won’t reveal a surprise or two, as well as some viewpoints that might be interesting to today’s modern societies. Tune into the presidential office of the future and witness great artificial exchanges first-hand!

Stick around for a shorter version of last week’s AI goats, bringing you a concise summary of recent big tech developer conferences and flagship events, as well as possible AI regulations.

Fire up those synapses and GPUs to make sure your operating systems can keep up!

Still waters run deep - and dark. Our AI co-hosts return to take you on a peaceful family vacation and beautiful private island. But watch out as not all is as it seems and this wouldn't be Tales of the Algorithm if we didn't have some dark twists in store for you. So, get ready to discover the sinister treasures and plots on Eden Island.

Aside from our two favourite AI assistants once again teaming up to deliver more or less well-calculated hallucinations, we'll bring you up to speed on new LLM releases, as well as the joining-up of some of the best brains out there- literally.

Enjoy all those gamified, algorithmic, computational and real goats!

Your favourite human hosts are back! But this time, they're joined by AI in yet another novel way- listen in as we task GPT-4 with writing a script about the adventures of Hilda and Johannes, two research scientists putting the near-perfect AGI of their new robot to the ultimate test: sarcastic human humour. Join us as we travel through different scenes and hopefully activate your comedic levels with a few good tech puns.

Stick around to hear about the latest big news stories in AI (aka our AI GOATS)- this week, we'll cover the AI letter everyone still can't get enough of, various new AI bots running wild, and the not quite real collaboration of two music icons.

The Fleabots will see you in the algorithm!
