Description

AI is taking over the planet - or at least the news agenda! For hardly a day goes by without some AI story in the headlines. Should we believe what we read? Or is it all hype?

In particular, should we believe what we are promised - or threatened - about AI become super-intelligent, sentient, conscious, human?

In this week's episode, Nick Spencer speaks to Eve Poole about her book Robot Souls: Programming in Humanity
