Having a consistent, low-pressure method to process those emotions may help students feel more grounded and self-aware, particularly during high-stress periods such as midterms and finals.

Certainly with any robotic system, the ROI is expected to come from labor saving, but due to a variety of factors such as tariffs on aluminum, pulp mill closures, and others, the price of our trash is becoming intriguingly high. Republic Services, the nation’s second-largest waste management company, now have AI-powered robotic sorters in one-third of their 79 facilities.

Yet for many employees with disabilities, inclusion often depends on personal kindness instead of company systems and is not always reliable or organised.

Messing around recently at their home in the Cotswolds, Ian McEwan and his wife Annalena asked the AI program Soniva Music to set Philip Larkin’s famous poem ‘This Be The Verse’ (“They fuck you up, your mum and dad…”) to country music. The results were shocking. “What it turned out was rather beautiful,” McEwan tells me. “Then, Annalena asked it to do GK Chesterton’s poem ‘The Rolling English Road’, as sung by Frank Sinatra, and it was incredibly sophisticated, with orchestral backing and a voice that was Sinatra.
