That may sound a bit vague, so I\u2019ll share a few more hints about where we \u2018re going. This is about an initiative by, and for, young people. We\u2019ll be talking to the president of Fidutam , \u00a0a small but global civil society organisation which started by using secure tech to enable small loans to young people. But there\u2019s more, they have also developed technology to enable anyone, but especially young people, to be able to learn almost anything using generative AI tools for free, a sort of study buddy if you like. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fidutam have also worked out how to influence policy makers and have contributed to consultations in the USA and Europe. To me, this is an intriguing mix of activities for a global organisation that is focused on, and run by, young people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely AI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And just so you know, we recorded this in December 2024 so the AI and political landscape may have changed a great deal by the time you\u2019re listening to this. Maestro should be up and running now that we are in 2025 so that you could try it out yourself. If you do, let us know how it went. I first found out about Fidutam from an article in the New Scientist magazine from 2023 and I am really amazed at the influence they seem to have built up with the politicians. What about you? What do you think the politicians should be doing to ensure AI develops in a good way over your lifetime?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for listening and if you have a story to tell then don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch or leave a comment.
