The FT’s popular podcast Tech Tonic returns for its second season

Tech Tonic is an FT podcast dedicated to exploring the benefits - and downfalls - of our increasingly technology driven world. Headed up by the FT’s innovation editor, John Thornhill, the podcast looks at the real world implications of tech advancement and how innovation is impacting emergency rooms, city centres and beyond.

Now, Tech Tonic has returned for a new series, diving deep into the big ideas driving tech advancement and laying out the promises and perils that come with the new technological age.

Specifically, season two centred on our relationship with AI, promising to explore all the philosophical, ethical and technological questions along the way. As with the first season, Tech Tonic provides listeners with analysis on the effects technological advancements have on both our present and future. There are episodes on medical research, modern warfare, investments, and more areas of our lives that are being transformed by the power of AI.
