Having previously spoken to AI advisor and author of TheWhiteBox newsletter, Nacho de Gregorio Noblejas, in this episode we focus on AI in higher education through the lens of an academic himself. Through his work at the University of Leeds, Richard fosters discussion between academics around the use of AI, particularly focusing on how to prepare students for an AI-powered workplace whilst simultaneously preserving academic integrity. We talk about the practicalities of this in depth across the course of our conversation, as well as deskilling and the possibilities of sovereign AI.

In this edition of The VICTVS Podcast, we discuss this complex and challenging issue with help from our expert guests Lucy Mann and Marija Jovanovic. As today is the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, there’s no better time to discuss this topic and educate ourselves on what exactly modern day slavery is, how we can spot it and what should be done to prevent it.

Lucy Mann works with the British charity Unseen to help businesses monitor for and prevent modern day slavery and worker exploitation, while Marija Jovanovic is a lawyer and researcher at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights. Marija is also a co-investigator at Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC).
