On Saturday, Oleksandr Usyk beat Tyson Fury to become boxing's undisputed heavyweight champion. The high-profile match was held in the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which has been accused of ‘sportswashing’. Alex Pattle from The Independent reveals what it was like reporting from the event, and Prof Simon Chadwick analyses the Saudi sports investment strategy.

The actor Scarlett Johansson has accused OpenAI of deliberately copying her voice for its latest chatbot Sky. OpenAI said that it would remove the voice, but insisted that it was not meant to be an ‘imitation’ of the star. Lawyer Susan Aslan assesses if the actor has a case, and tech journalist Takara Small gives us the latest updates on the latest AI releases.

Plus an update on the furore surrounding the Netflix series Baby Reindeer, as the British MP John Nicolson asks Netflix to substantiate what it told a parliamentary committee about the woman alleged to have inspired the character Martha.
