9:11 am
pushing for a national conversation about productivity. if we think about productivity. if we think about the ai revolution as starting with the it revolution, we are still not seeing those productivity gains we want to see with the introduction of computers and automation to date in manufacturing systems, we are not capturing productivity gains for the amount of investment that has been made in it systems. differentjobs have been created, different kinds of industries, but we need more upskilling and reskilling and we need more people to be part of these conversations so we can make the kinds of changes in society that benefit everybody. i'm happy to talk about my experience in watching what has happened in construction on some of those automated jobs.— of those automated “obs. remind me to come to that, — of those automated “obs. remind me to come to that, i _ of those automated jobs. remind me to come to that, i will— of those automated jobs. remind me to come to that, i will go _ of those automated jobs. remind me to come to that, i will go to - of those automated jobs. remind me to come to that, i will go to some - to come to that, i will go to some calls in a moment but i notice talking to you, gina, you have a

more food, so that motivates them a little bit, but also because our cows go out to grass, they are on three paddocks over 2a hours and they always go on to fresh grass every time they get milked, so the grass becomes a driver. so they know if the grey is the first paddock of comedy can come back, get milton going to the next paddock, there is always fresh grass there, so that motivates them. iii always fresh grass there, so that motivates them.— motivates them. if people are watchin: motivates them. if people are watching on — motivates them. if people are watching on television, - motivates them. if people are watching on television, we - motivates them. if people are| watching on television, we got motivates them. if people are i watching on television, we got a brilliant team of human beings who put the pictures up, if we had ai, we'd be getting pictures of cows right now being milked. i'm not seeing that my colleagues need to be replaced, the first person to be replaced, the first person to be replaced with establish would be me. the cows, all day long there is no pressure there, nobody chasing them up

are too far away from it, it could be in several years as other folk are saying, there are more unicorn mullions $1 billion companies in the space than ever before, the things happening almost every day, i read a book about it recently, it's insane how quickly it is happening to of the big question is will it take people's jobs. the big question is will it take people'sjobs. as in the the big question is will it take people's jobs. as in the example of the former, that's great. somebody using ai will take yourjob, it won't be the ai, because ai is a tool that allows you to become superhuman with productivity. so, for example, you could argue from a marketing point of view, i know my job will be replaced if i'm writing

where khayri went to school, and where jakele pusey, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life with a minimum of 16 years yesterday, i metjakele when he was 11, he was in a group in the school for children who needed extra support, they were of concern to the teachers, perhaps because of some concern but not serious concern, they were still attending school, they were still attending school, they had not been sent to a pupil referral units, it was an in—house pupil referral units, if you will. jakele was there, he was a typical 11—year—old boy, really. sometimes he was cheeky and outspoken, and at other times he was much moodier, one thing we have always talked about was marcus rashford, i think he saw them as coming from a similar pace but marcus rashford was from quite a
10:10 am
deprived part of manchester and jakele thought it rashford could make it out, maybe i can too, he spoke a lot about playing football and wanting to escape its area and become a famous footballer like rashford. when i said i work near the bbc sport studios his eyes lit up the bbc sport studios his eyes lit up and he asked me if i ever got to see manchester united play, which i had, and he was excited to hear about that. i recorded to him in a few times with a view to him taking part in a podcast i was doing call hope high which was looking at county lines and why children were carrying lives but we did not pursue the interview, jakele changed his mind, as was his right, but i got to know him a bed, which went to his house, i met his parents, he lived very near school that he decided it was not something he wanted to be part of, which was fine, but i could
10:11 am

10:12 am
hugely detrimental impact on him, i believe, and understandably he became a very, very angry young man. to be shot at any age is incredibly traumatic, i can't imagine what that must have been like for him. his mother spoke to people and said he can't sleep, he is very angry, very scared. obviously that is no excuse whatsoever for what has happened, but i think it provides a fair bit of context. he was in his area, in this environment were violent incidents were occurring over time, he was just incidents were occurring over time, he wasjust 12, he incidents were occurring over time, he wasjust12, he had been shot. i can't imagine what support he got after that but it was not affected because three years later he went on to kill khayri mclean. that because three years later he went on to kill khayri mclean.— to kill khayri mclean. that is such an interesting _ to kill khayri mclean. that is such an interesting point _ to kill khayri mclean. that is such an interesting point about - to kill khayri mclean. that is such an interesting point about role i an interesting point about role models, marcus rashford, it shows us how important it is to have great role models like marcus rashford,

10:39 am
me it was and why did you end up prison? fr?" me it was more of a case were growing up with people my age who started to see what everyone else dead, were influenced by the same things, people are influenced by wading balaclavas on your head, for example, the normal accessory of fashion right now, for some reason thatis fashion right now, for some reason that is normal and when people go out and use balaclavas, go around stabbing people, questioning why these people even have them on but in broad daylight you are actually allowed to walk around with them on your head. on top of that, on your actual radio, as you hear someone is being released that has explicit content, such as stabbing people and other stuff, content, such as stabbing people and otherstuff, i content, such as stabbing people and other stuff, i don't get it. but back then as a kid you kind of glorify that, along with the same other things you do like playing grand theft auto on your playstation and you link that to seeing everyone around you in these deprived areas committing crime for money and you start to think it's ok. so when you
10:40 am
do do it, you get in trouble and you go to prison and when you go to prison, there is no rehabilitation, you go there, you can get playstation, xbox, you have your own close, do you want all day. you literally go there and can order all this goods and stuff, people live a comfy life in prison, there is no rehabilitation whatsoever. so when it comes to talking about why nave came happens, where gang stern it comes to talking about why nave came happens, where gang stem from, it all stems from there being nothing to do for kids, for example, the public funding is gone. you've got the fact that obviously like i said about the drill music, that is now put on live radio. this said about the drill music, that is now put on live radio.— now put on live radio. this is so important. _ now put on live radio. this is so important, lots _ now put on live radio. this is so important, lots of _ now put on live radio. this is so important, lots of people - now put on live radio. this is so important, lots of people listen j now put on live radio. this is so i important, lots of people listen to drill music without becoming killers. {lit drill music without becoming killers. , , ,. drill music without becoming killers. , , , . killers. of course. drill music as well, killers. of course. drill music as well. peeple _ killers. of course. drill music as well, people might _ killers. of course. drill music as

10:54 am
are worried about who their kids are hanging outwith? there is hardly any resources for kids. are we surprised kids are carrying knives? it is as though they feel they are alone out there. i am just so worried for him. i also have an eight—year—old nephew and a 14—year—old nephew, i eight—year—old nephew and a 14—year—old nephew, lam eight—year—old nephew and a 14—year—old nephew, i am worried for them, and i don't think enough gets talked about in terms of their desensitisation from the violent gaming, a lot of teenagers are playing, and we hear about studies from gaming companies saying that games have no impact but here we are bringing social media companies about how the content is having an effect on how many teenagers are...
10:55 am
but here we are, it is very scary. how much do you think family background is relevant? we were hearing earlier on some cases of boys coming from lovely families but falling in with the wrong crowd, how significant do you think... ? i think that's the thing. if it comes down resources, if my son, if i am worried about the people he's hanging outwith, what help would be available to me if i'm worried about drug gangs are... ? where do i go? i can havea drug gangs are... ? where do i go? i can have a lovely family as much as i like but how do i protect my child? when i was a teenager we had youth clubs, all of these things are nowhere to be seen. we see all of
10:56 am
these massive knives teenagers are supposedly carrying now, when are they getting them from? we talk about stop and search, from they were just too late, it is already on the street, how did it get to the kids spice we have had instances with the baby that was shot i think in liverpool, how are these guns are getting on the streets? by then they are already on the streets. it is almost too late in my eyes. what exactly is the government doing to make sure these things don't get in the hands of kids? and what are they doing, once we have troubled teenagers, what help is available to them? these things are starting to affect everybody because you hear so much about what is happening with teenagers, ifind myself thinking when i'm walking on the street, if i have an argument with a teenager out

10:58 am
taken a different approach, they were then a prime capital of europe at one point and now they put it down dramatically because they are taking public health approach, police are notjust going out to look for young people and profiling what they are doing, they are working with schools and health care workers, with social workers, with families to help bring a systemic approach to dealing with the actual causes. i believe personally that there should be more money and finances to approach it from even a therapeutic aspect, providing more finance for schools to support young people from a therapeutic angle, and also support families, because what you have, we are dealing with young people that are notjust you have, we are dealing with young people that are not just angry, you have, we are dealing with young people that are notjust angry, we are dealing with a lot of young people that are hurt, and when they... when they leave the family home, many of these areas, they face
10:59 am
danger every day. most of these danger every day. most of these danger even when they leave school under a love policing and support for these young people so they are left alone —— there's not enough policing and support. we need a new approach, we need to do with the causes are not the issues and think that finding for schools to provide more therapeutic support, notjust for children but also for parents and families, like your last caller said, what does she do if she has a concern for her son? there is no clear guidelines, clear pathways for parents to go and get that support, and i'm sure the government needs to take a more holistic and health approach and systemic approach to stemming the cause and notjust working on the symptoms, if i am making sense. working on the symptoms, if i am making sense-— working on the symptoms, if i am makin: sense. ., . . ~' , . making sense. you are making perfect sense, making sense. you are making perfect sense. thank— making sense. you are making perfect
