Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning - A Gift or Curse to human kind? (Part 1)
The Black Spy questions national journalists Firgas Esack and Sally Brockway.
The Black Spy Podcast Season 8, Episode 0003
This week's Black Spy Podcast discusses Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, and Machine Learning with Firgas Esack and fellow national news media Journalist, Sally Brockway; regarding these rapidly advancing fields that have the potential to significantly impact the future.
We consider the positives and negatives of these fields.
In the coming years, we can expect to see significant advancements in these fields, which will bring both major opportunities and potential existential threats.
The future of AI is particularly exciting as it has the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with each other. AI has already shown tremendous promise in fields such as healthcare, finance, and transportation, and its impact is only set to grow in the coming years. For example, AI-powered systems are already being used to diagnose diseases, analyze financial data, and control autonomous vehicles. The future of AI is likely to see it becoming even more integrated into our daily lives, with AI systems performing a wider range of tasks, from scheduling appointments to helping us make important decisions.
The future of robotics is also very promising. Robotics technology has come a long way in recent years, with robots now being able to perform a wide range of tasks, from manufacturing to search and rescue operations. The future of robotics is likely to see even more advanced robots, capable of performing complex tasks with greater accuracy and efficiency. This will lead to a wide range of benefits, including improved productivity and efficiency, as well as the creation of new jobs in fields such as robotics engineering and maintenance.
Machine learning is another field that is set to play a significant role in shaping the future. Machine learning is a subset of AI that involves training computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions based on that data. The future of machine learning is likely to see it being used in an ever-increasing range of applications, from fraud detection to personalized recommendations. Machine learning will also play a critical role in advancing the field of AI, allowing AI systems to become more intelligent and better able to understand and respond to the needs of their users.
In conclusion, the future of artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning is very exciting, with the potential to bring about significant advancements in a wide range of fields.
However, whilst this is all true, there are potential massive challenges to be faced along the way. And, although the benefits of these technologies could far outweigh the costs, leading to a future that is more productive, efficient, and interconnected, the potential threat, is the end of the human race.

Money & geo-politics. The real power? Peter Smith, the road to the City, investment banking, IPOs and Stock Market evaluations.
The Black Spy Podcast
01/24/22 • 59 min
In this week's Black Spy Podcast Carlton King sits down with Liverpudlian, Peter Smith, one time wizz kid of the City of London investment banking world regarding his journey into realm of riches in the big smoke (London) and beyond. It’s a story that becomes all the more fascinating as we learn that after becoming the youngest ever broker in the UK at barely 18 years of age, Peter is responsible for his own good fortune.
After getting to know Peter, he and Carlton discuss where the real power lies in the world today. They explore the almost mythical role played by the City, Wall Street and the big banks and their equivalents in all societies and countries. The growth of fintech, the tech giants and the seemingly unending easy money that funds and drives many a questionable, as well as clearly ‘positive’, tech startups is also put under the microscope.
Finally, the future of the markets are also discussed, where does Crypto et’al fit in? They also examine the obvious importance of ‘the market’ and banking to the secret world, terrorism, extremism and geopolitics and politicians including the petty or indeed major corruption of the political classes.
As always, this episode of the Black Spy Podcast can only educate listeners as it delves into another aspect of life that is relatively unknown to those who do not inhabit its environs yet suffer real and sometime enormous consequences of the decision made within this realm.
This episode was released on Monday the 24th of January 2022.

The Black Spy Podcast welcome to season Two review

The Black Spy Podcast, Season 2, episode 0000
'Listeners questions, a review of last season and the themes going forward'
Season Two of The Black Spy Podcast blasts off with the Black Spy answering the most asked questions from season One. Posed by Dan, his web director, Carlton answers the questions in depth utilising examples from his clandestine life.
Dan kicks off by asking Carlton about the coming season, so he spokes of Patreon and outlines guests such as Author, literary agent and publisher Andrew Lownie, the number one selling agent in the world.
Carlton is asked to provide his opinion of some of the best and most realistic espionage, undercover and protection orientated movies. Dan also asks if, like in the US with the Patriot Act, whether post 9/11 Carlton and colleagues in Special Branch, MI5 and MI6 obtained extra powers to bug and surveil suspects? Carlton fully explains his answer to this question and highlights the difference between the UK and the USA in this sphere.
An answer to one of Dan's questions elicits two examples from Carlton's past operations including his actions against an IRA hit team (aka Active Service Unit) and the shooting of a Palestinian assassin who shot the Israeli Ambassador in London.
Carlton speaks of the duplicity of politicians, and provides examples of this as regards the above mentioned operations and the fact that he was head hunted to take on the role as head of the Iraqi Mukhabarat (Secret Police or Special Branch) after the invasion of Iraq.
Carlton also answers questions concerning the validity of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Would he have advised undertaking them?
He's asked about the support of Saddam Hussein for some Palestinian terror groups and the activities of Israel and its secret services in Israel and the occupied territories. Dan also asks about the genesis of the Palestinian, Israeli conflict.
Dan questions Carlton concerning his firearms training as a secret agent? Carlton explains the different between the general limited level of firearms training in MI6, as opposed to the high degree of firearms training in some sections of Scotland Yard's Special Branch and subsequently SO1 Specialist Protection. Carlton explains the concept of horses of courses and the need for firearms training etc.
This is a far reaching extended episode around several themes of revision and setting the scene for future episodes with guests from varied walks of life such as: the gaming industry, a doctor in the UK prison establishment dealing with serial killers and drug abusers, 'A' list actors, a Premier League footballer, a leading drug, sex and abuse worker, a professional boxer, a major City (of London) financier, a TV & Movie producer, a top paparazzi and a man who made a fortune in crypto currency and lost it. And of course, The Black Spy will always explore the synergies with the Secret World.

Season 2, episode 0001
'Brexit, empire, the Traitor King & paedophilia in high office'
This hard hitting discussion with author, publisher, historian and the best selling literary agent in the world, Andrew Lownie, delves deep into Britain's past present and future, as uncomfortable histories are brought out into the cold light of day.
From skeletons in the Royal cupboard - treachery with Hitler and paedophilia at the highest military rank – to the Empire, Brexit and free trade verses protectionism the discussion freely meanders around the question of what are actual state and national security secrets as opposed to attempts to prevent 'individual' embarrassment. The episode also discusses changes in the British civil service, the increased prominence of SPADs (Special Advisors) and the competence of ministers within the British governmental system. Moreover, the programme assesses the importance of Scotland Yard's Special Branch as a one time long standing security service within the 'British police'. Furthermore, the discussion touches on the danger to all British intelligence and security services, of outing MPSB officers. As, if the UK can out its own clandestine officers, then how future agents have confidence that British intelligence will protect them. Such actions are a clear death knell, for any country's intelligence and security agencies.
In this extended episode listeners truly learn how difficult it normally is to gain an insight into the secret world as Andrew explains what he did to gain the knowledge he required to write his in-depth biographies.
If you're seriously interested in the clandestine world, this episode is a must hear and its revelations will inform and educate many, if not most listeners about matters long hidden from view.
Andrew now awaits the result of a very personally expensive legal adjudication concerning he right to obtain access to Lord Mountbatten's public dairies. Papers which could shine an even brighter light on some of his questionable activities!
Carlton intends to have Andrew back on The Black Spy Podcast when this occurs.
