The UKTN Podcast is back with its third episode of 2025. This week’s podcast guest is Brian Mullins, the CEO of AI firm Mind Foundry.

Mullins looks at the ethics of using AI, from how the technology should be used with precision in high-risk scenarios, as well as the economic implications of the US dominance of the industry. 

Oxford-based Mind Foundry was setup to create AI responsibly from trusted scientific principles, aligning AI with human values and applying it where it is needed most in areas such as defence and insurance. 

Mullins suggested there were reasons to be positive about the election of Donald Trump in the United States.
