Do you have a phone that won’t connect to triple zero, and what happens if AI doesn’t listen and won’t shut down? Pickr joins ABC to explain.
AI may dominate many of the world’s headlines, but it’s not the be-all end-all controlling machine that science fiction paints it to be… yet.

Pickr’s Leigh Stark joins ABC Canberra Mornings with Emma Bickley to talk about these issues. Hear the segment from the October 27, 2025 program, listening from the five minute mark (5.00).
