Author Elif Shafak and how to build peace with Monica McWilliams and Steve Killelea; tackling gender bias in Artificial Intelligence and hitting the road in a 'mobile manse'

Booker Prize shortlisted author Elif Shafak is trying to keep us balanced and wise by guiding us through life’s uncertainties in her latest work ‘How to Stay Sane in an Age of Division’.  She’ll also join our discussion on striving for peace in turbulent times, alongside Monica McWilliams, who was involved in the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland and entrepreneur and philanthropist, Steve Killelea. 
Alexa, Siri and Cortana - the names of the automated personal assistants in our homes but why have they been given female names and voices?  Cathy looks at gender bias in Artificial Intelligence with Ivana Bartoletti, founder of Women Leading In A.I. and author of An Artificial Revolution: On Power, Politics and A.I. and Dave Murray-Rust, a researcher in human-algorithm interaction at the University Of Edinburgh.
Former River City actor Adam Robertson on how thinking creatively when it comes to Community Payback Orders can help turn lives around.  
And we hit the road with the Reverend Fiona Ogg in her ‘mobile manse’ as she travels her parish making pastoral visits in her campervan.  While people with faith turn to their religious leaders for comfort during these unprecedented times, we ask who is looking after the clerics?
