What happens when technology starts talking to us? In this episode, we explore the rise of smart speakers and voice assistants—who or what do we think we’re talking to, and who’s really listening?

With over 50% of households now owning a smart speaker, these technologies are shaping young people's experience of tech. We discuss the impact of growing up with conversational AI and whether machines can become friends, assistants, or something else entirely.

We’re joined by audiovisual artist Lewis Heriz, who shares insights from the award-winning film So Long We Dreamt of This and our ongoing project Speaking Machines, where we explore young people's thoughts on AI and voice technology.
