  • This is The Guardian.

  • Hey, it's Michael Safi, host of The Guardian Investigates.

  • With a bit of news, we've made a brand new series of Black Box,

  • our chart-topping podcast about the way AI is reshaping our lives.

  • This time, it's all about AI chatbots.

  • Gemini, Claude, ChatJPT.

  • These new voices in our ear, guiding what we think and feel and do.

  • But should we trust them?

  • Black Box the Chatbots is coming very soon on the Guardian Investigates feed.

  • And because Today in Focus is off this week, we're bringing you the first season of Black Box instead.

  • These episodes are exactly as we broadcast them in 2024. And just a note,

  • yesterday we played an episode partly about the love story between a man named Lee Johnson

  • and his wife Yoki, who was diagnosed with cancer.

  • We found out this week that Yoki passed away on Wednesday morning.

  • Lee was with her to the end, and he asked us to let you all know.

  • We're sending our love to Lee, their daughter Rose, and their whole family.

  • May Yoki rest in peace.

  • Today's episode is next.

  • Melissa Williams lives about 20 minutes outside of Detroit, in a neighbourhood called Farmington Hills.

  • Very suburban neighbourhood, a lot of young families.
