Brewdog and Deep Mind

In Touch

Available for over a year

The firm Brewdog is at the forefront of the resurgence in trendy craft beer in the UK, but as Tom Walker reports a tribunal panel has found their lack of knowledge in relation to an employee facing sight loss "astonishing". Ian Brown from RNIB Scotland tells us more about what workers in similar positions can expect from their bosses. And our columnist Mike Lambert marks the end of the hot and sultry weather of summer with a reflection on a moment in time enjoyed in his garden... We also hear about a new development in artificial intelligence which has been described by Moorfields ophthalmic consultant Dr Pearse Keane as "jaw droppping". It's a breakthrough with repercussions for patients worried about their sight - and for waiting lists. Presented by Peter White. Produced by Kevin Core.
