David Phelan talks through the latest projects emerging from the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.
After Mark Zuckerberg’s apology to a joint senate committee, we discuss what he had to say.
Monocle’s technology correspondent David Phelan explains why Google is opening an artificial intelligence research centre in China.
Spoiler alert: the answer is “no”. The chief economist of UBS Global Wealth Management and the founder and CEO of Otonomos join the show to help explain why bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency) is not fit to settle such liabilities. Despite this fact, there appears to be appetite in some quarters to challenge the assumption. Are there any developments ahead that might change or threaten the status quo?
We meet a Ugandan IT specialist who has found a way to diagnose malaria quickly, without drawing blood. He tells Andrew Mueller about his research and how he hopes to convince those affected to embrace new technology.
In rural India, relationships between humans and large mammals are increasingly fractured. Dr Krithi Karanth tells us how she intervenes by helping farmers get compensated for damaged land and by teaching children that the animals aren’t all bad.
We meet the French doctor making major advances in the treatment of paraplegic patients. He tells Andrew Mueller how he used his background in maths and physics to devise a spinal bridge that’s helping people to get moving.
Our new series begins with Californian molecular biologist Miranda Wang, who’s been thinking about the plastic crisis since high school. Now in her mid-twenties, she tells Andrew Mueller about her company BioCellection, which could turn a third of the world's plastic waste into wealth.
All the best bits from the past seven days on Monocle 24, including award-winning astrophysicist Jill Tarter, novelist Howard Jacobson and Luis von Ahn, co-founder and CEO of Duolingo.
We pull back the curtain for a look at the complicated – and concerning – biases and preconceptions being programmed into artificial intelligences, with artist Trevor Paglen. Plus: Metronomy frontman Joe Mount takes us through the band’s latest album and we find out what it takes to put on a permanent exhibition as we meet London’s Wellcome Collection curator, Clare Barlow.
Why an architecture team is turning to a robotic arm for a helping hand. Plus: we ask a UCL professor for help understanding the ramifications of robots in design and ‘Disegno’ editor in chief Oli Stratford joins Josh Fehnert for a flick through his magazine picks for the month.
We ask how technology and connectedness are changing product design and transforming everything from homes to our cities. Guests include Kohler’s Mark Bickerstaffe, Ron Bakker of PLP Architecture and Sean Affleck of Make Architects.
New Zealand-based Xero is a world-leader in accounting software. The cloud-based programme was designed to help small and medium-sized businesses manage their finances – a tedious and time-consuming task for any entrepreneur. Since its launch in 2006, Xero has spread to about 180 countries worldwide, enabling business owners everywhere to dedicate more time to the important stuff. Co-founder Gary Turner tells us how to build a global brand and how you create “beautiful” software.
We mull over self-driving cars, facial-recognition technology and the dubious dream of an utterly connected kitchen. Plus: nab a word with Hong Kong-born designer André Fu and ask a new appointee at the Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design how these institutions can play a larger role in the public debate around design.
What role do technology giants play in urban planning? And what do you love the most about your city? Plus: an audio essay on Venice’s troubled relationship with water.
This week we hear how technology is helping companies collect data – and profits – from you, but also how it can help fight issues such as gun violence. Plus: a special report from the first edition of Torino-Stratosferica.
We go behind the scenes of technology company WeTransfer, which invested its spare advertising space into the arts, to ask whether the sector should be responsible for funding creative endeavours.
A new UBS report explains a decade of soaring popularity of these digital platforms as a bubble, and discusses why they can never go mainstream. Our experts will explain some of the anarchic behaviour that surrounds the space and we’ll also look beneath the bubble at the underlying technology – blockchain – and consider how it can reshape the future.
