150 New Zealand executives were given Spark-funded scholarships for a four-week course all about learning how to use modern AI tools to boost business productivity.

We talked to two of them, NZME's Matt Martel and the NZ Institute of Directors' Kristen 'KP' Patterson, who explained what they learned from the course and how it shaped their thinking about AI.

They outline the business cases they developed during the course and how they have started implementing them within their organisations.

Plus, Australia's open banking woes, concerns over AI power carbon emissions, and MT Gox and Cryptopia bankruptcy updates.

In this episode, Ben refers to the remaining assets of Cryptopia as being $775,000 of $28m - please note this is what remains of the liquid assets used to fund the liquidation process.
