Donald Trump鈥檚 robodogs

We take a closer look at the robot dogs at Donald Trump鈥檚 house. Plus, the company using AI to waste scammers鈥� time. And the Zambian startup providing services to unbanked people.

Robot security dogs have been spotted at Mar-A-Lago, the Florida home of US president-elect Donald Trump. Who are behind them, and what security services do they offer? Also on the programme, we hear about one phone company鈥檚 plan to waste phone scammers鈥� time. And the startup using AI to provide loans to people without a credit history.
