The social giant abandons Aquila, a drone that was supposed to connect people in remote places. Ken Banks, expert on connectivity in Africa, gives his view on what will replace the project. Elaine Safier from HSBC tells us how banks are increasingly using AI to personalise their services and make decisions about us. And we talk to Basma Ali and Rasha Abu-Safieh from GGateway, a Gaza startup helping IT graduates to find work remotely. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with BBC tech reporter Chris Baraniuk, and special guest May Al-Karooni, founder of circular economy platform Globechain.
