Description
So, we’re in the future I guess – and apparently A.I. threatens bringing an end to humanity. With top scientists sounding the alarm – should we be worried or panicked? Plus, vaping is in the Government’s firing line. Why is it on the agenda and how does Sunak balance crackdowns with his apparent Thatcher adoration? And in the extra bit for backers our panel discusses why so many of us get it wrong on recycling… Our guest this week is Zoë Grünewald of New Statesman.

“We have no concept of what super intelligent computers look like. It makes it difficult for policymakers and the public.” – Zoë Grünewald

“In public discourse it’s very difficult to imagine what a superintelligent computer looks like.” – Zoë Grünewald
