Preparing for the future of increasingly intelligent AI?

The World This Weekend

Available for 29 days

As AI models jump the guardrails and hack into companies we'll hear how tough it is to legislate for the future of mankind. We debate whether these models may one day develop some form of consciousness. We speak to the Chair of the Welsh Government's Strategic AI Advisory Group and an AI philosopher about whether we are prepared in both the public and private sector for what is to come.
