Since launching in 2022, ChatGPT has been a game-changer in the world of AI. But it's perhaps the chatbots that companies are using for customer service where we have the most interaction with artificial intelligence.

This episode is hosted by Harry Kind and Lisa Webb, alongside Which? Technology Editor Lisa Barber, and Chris Stokel-Walker, technology broadcaster and author.
