Andrew Miles Davis covers a genuinely significant week in AI news, leading with a Guardian investigation revealing that brands are secretly using AI-generated influencers to produce fake unboxing videos and customer reviews, paying creators under NDAs to keep the public unaware, against a backdrop where 70% of people currently cannot correctly identify a deepfake. He also covers a landmark moment for the legal industry as Garfield AI, the UK's first approved AI law firm, won its first court trial, recovering £7,000 in unpaid fees for a freelancer with AI handling case preparation while a human barrister managed courtroom advocacy. Other major stories include ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 extending its lead as the top AI video generator with 30-second 4K generation from a single prompt, Eleven Labs releasing a 13-hour AI-narrated audiobook of the Odyssey using a licensed clone of Sir Michael Caine's voice, Getty Images signing a licensing deal with OpenAI that tripled its stock overnight, Claude launching an at-mention feature for Slack that lets the AI complete tasks directly within a channel, and Hootsuite rebuilding its platform around an AI agent that takes action across social media rather than just reporting on it.

Andrew Miles Davis returns to his good, bad, and ugly format with three angles he has not covered before in the series. The good focuses on the ability to build bespoke tools and applications through vibe coding without hiring a developer, removing a financial and technical barrier that kept good ideas shelved for years, including in Andrew's own experience. The bad covers shadow AI, the unapproved tools employees use inside organisations that create serious security blind spots, often without the company ever knowing sensitive data has left their control. The ugly lands on AI-accelerated misinformation and its impact on shared truth in society, arguing that the speed at which fake content can now be produced outpaces any ability to fact check it, with consequences already visible in how election results and major events are perceived and trusted. Andrew closes with the idea that AI is not inherently good or bad, it is an amplifier, and the future depends on how wisely it gets used.

Andrew Miles Davis answers three questions from recent training sessions, including one from a 150-person session with the National Film and Television School, YouTube, and the BBC. He addresses whether AI note takers fabricate information due to a lack of detailed prompts, explaining his own workflow of extracting specific insights from transcripts using trained Claude prompts rather than relying on default summaries. He then tackles a genuinely important question for content creators, whether AI-generated content will all start to sound the same, using his belt system analogy to explain the difference between generic white belt prompting and black belt prompting that incorporates lived experience no AI can replicate. The episode closes with a thoughtful answer to whether children should be taught AI in schools, where Andrew's concern lands less on whether it should happen and more on who is actually equipped to teach it.
