One year on: developments in artificial intelligence (AI)
In this episode, one year on from their conversation in the very first Top of the Agenda podcast, Dr Helen Jenkins welcomes back Professor Richard Susskind CBE.
Together they delve into the themes in Professor Susskind’s new book, ‘How to think about AI: A guide for the perplexed’, and share their thoughts on how we all need to think much more about AI to both harness the opportunities for humanity and avoid and mitigate the risks.
Following on from the discussion Dr Sebastian Wernicke, a Partner at Oxera and an expert in leveraging data science, machine learning and AI, joins Helen to share his insights on how businesses and governments are thinking about and responding to the challenges of implementing AI today.
