  • This time, it's all about AI chatbots, Gemini, Chord, ChatJPT,

  • 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 back in 2024. Black Box is next.
