Chancellor Rachel Reeves only mentioned AI once and didn’t mention quantum at all in the Budget. Why? Wasn’t quantum meant to be a shining light for British innovation? Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel Walker explain why. 

Also, we’re joined by Dr. Carolina Are and Maedb Joy to discuss what campaigners are calling “the digital erasure of queer communities” across Instagram, Facebook and even WhatsApp. What does that meant for creators and wider society? 

Finally, who wins the AI chip race? NVidia? Google? A company we haven’t heard of? All will become (slightly more) clear.
