This week on Danny in the Valley, we take a look at how artificial intelligence is shaping our future. We'll also hear from Professor Stuart Russell who was last on the show more than three years ago. He's one of the world's top AI experts and co-wrote his own textbook about the field. And he will tell us all about some of the alarming developments in things like autonomous weaponry and war machines.
