Hello and welcome back to yet another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast. 

In this episode we are talking about a Manchester-based startup that’s trying to use data and AI to stop child labour. Primark and Apple will be delighted. We also take a look at the rise of religious versions of ChatGPT.


Bex is on hosting duties and she is joined by TFGL team member Greg Ashton.

Our special guest joining us to talk about our news stories this week is Scott Casson-Rennie, who is, amongst other things, COO of NGO FASD Ireland and host of the A and F podcast exploring adoption and fostering and other related topics.

Tune in to the next episode where we get to know more about Scott.
