  • This is The Guardian.

  • Hey, this is Michael Safi, host of The Guardian Investigates, and I have some 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 about this sort of extraordinary change that's happened right under our noses.

  • More than a billion people suddenly talking to machines, sharing with them their deepest secrets.

  • Maybe you are too.

  • 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. And just to note,

  • some of the laws and regulations around AI that we talk about in the episode have been amended since then.

  • Black Box is next.

  • High interest debt is one of the toughest opponents you'll face.

  • Unless you power up with a so-fi personal loan.

  • A SoFi personal loan could repackage your bad debt into one low fixed rate monthly payment.

  • It's even got super speed.

  • Since you can get the funds as soon as the same day you sign.

  • Visit SoFi.com slash power to learn more.
