Science Actually is a podcast by Imperial College London students and staff. Are you keen to find out more about current and future research, and to discover how not every question will have one answer? In each episode a member of our podcast team interviews an Imperial expert to see if they have the answers to our burning questions. In the first series, we dive into myths surrounding different aspects of student life: memory, food, sleep and partying. The second series revolves around the science that is shaping our future. Intro by Clara Tillous Oliva, jingle by Hendrik Vogt, artwork by Ali Al-Sikab.

Biases and Artificial Intelligence: a data or people problem?
In this episode, Josh Hodge explores the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and bias with two Imperial experts. Dr Kuan Hon, a guest lecturer in the Department of Computing, is a qualified English solicitor and New York attorney specialising in data protection laws and related legal issues. They draw on every day and legal examples to introduce the topic and take a deep dive into the key AI concepts, such as bias and fairness. Dr Viral Thakerar is a practicing general practitioner, a Clinical Lead for the Digital First programme in the Northwest London Integrated Care System and leads the Patients, Communities and Healthcare GP course in the Faculty of Medicine, which integrates the use of AI in GP practice. They explain the integration and use of AI in digital health, and how Imperial is addressing biases in medical curricular. Together, they address the overarching question: how do biases impact legal, clinical, and educational practices?
