At LEDC, we believe that tech-led economic development is the key to shaping the future of our industries—including how we share information! That’s why we’re experimenting with AI to bring you a weekly news roundup, generated using Google’s Notebook LM. This AI-powered podcast is based on last week’s updates, helping us explore innovative ways to keep you informed.

While we’re excited about the possibilities, AI isn’t perfect (yet!), and sometimes it might get things a little off. If something doesn’t sound right, let us know—we’re learning right alongside the tech. Want to know more about the tool behind this? Check out Google Notebook LM.
