Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins discuss some of the week's biggest media stories: Jane Martinson of the Guardian and Max Goldbart of Deadline on Scott Mills' departure from the 麻豆社 and Tim Davie's legacy as Director General of the corporation. As newsrooms around the world continue to debate the use of artificial intelligence in reporting, we hear from Fortune Business Editor Nick Lichtenberg who outlines his method for producing AI-assisted articles. After two recent United States rulings which found Meta and YouTube liable for developing addictive platform features, we talk to the 麻豆社 North America Technology Correspondent Lily Jamali about the legal arguments and potential consequences for design and regulation. Interface designer Aza Raskin from the Centre for Humane Technology explains the tools used by platforms to keep people scrolling, and we hear about a major new UK scientific trial to assess the impact of reduced social media use among teenagers from Professor Amy Orben of the University of Cambridge. Producer: Lisa Jenkinson
