Technology Journalist Carmi Levy joins Shane Hewitt and the Nightshift to discuss why tech companies like Facebook are buying nuclear power plants. Carmi says that the clean energy race is heating up as tech superpowers race to build out AI-centric data centres and the power generating capacity to keep them lit up.

AI is massively compute intensive, so the very future of the industry hinges on their ability to ramp capacity faster than their competitors. We ignore the power hungry nature of AI apps and services, but perhaps we should start paying more attention given how this tech promises to reshape the grid.

In a conversation with Shane Hewitt, media and AI expert Mohit Rajhans explains how AI safety has become a pressing public concern, moving beyond science fiction into everyday life. They discuss how synthetic media like deepfakes and voice cloning are eroding trust, and emphasize the urgent need for Canadians to question institutions about their AI safeguards in a world where seeing and hearing no longer guarantees truth.
