Samsung get serious with their new Fold 7. At 8.9mm closed and weighing just 215g, this isn't your clunky first-gen foldable anymore. The redesigned FlexHinge practically eliminates that annoying crease, and the 8-inch open display means you're basically carrying a tablet that fits in your pocket. We look at the details plus all the new phones and AI enhancements announced this week.

There is also a great story of AI going rogue (real life not sci-fi) and why Amazon’s Prime Day is a bit of a damp squid for employees and customers alike.

We also chat with special guest Kyran O’Mahoney, co-founder of Nexus Inclusion, an Irish company using AI to develop a digital inclusion toolkit for websites to apps and beyond.

This week, we have the scoop on Samsung's thinnest-ever smartphone which delivers the same powerhouse camera as the Ultra but in a dramatically slimmer package. Is extreme thinness the future, or just a gimmick?

We continue to monitor big tech's stealth layoff strategy where Microsoft's "performance improvement plans" are actually targeting 6,000 jobs and what this means for your career. Plus the EU could be causing an online advertising earthquake by outlawing how cookies work.

With our guest, we dive into a fascinating conversation about how creative industries might actually learn to embrace AI rather than fear it. Dr Martin Clancy tells us more about project AI:OK
