This week, we wanted to give you a chance to check out another amazing show from the TED Audio Collective, The TED AI Show – a podcast meant to guide us through the mystifying world of artificial intelligence. We heard you when you said you enjoyed our AI episode with A.J. Jacobs – so we think this is going to be right up your alley. Our host and creative technologist, Bilawal Sidhu, sits down with Sam Gregory, a human rights activist and technologist, to discuss how we’re going to seize the opportunities and solve the problems that the newest technologies are bringing to our world. We’ll be back next week with more Fixable, and you can catch The TED AI show wherever you get your podcasts.

Anne and Frances spill the tea (er, coffee) on how Starbucks and its leadership can revamp their strategy. Transcripts for Fixable are available at https://go.ted.com/fixablescripts
