The speakers talk about the world's first global AI safety summit hosted by the UK's Prime Minister and the concerns about the potential risks posed by AI. They also discuss the positive impact AI can have on society, particularly in the fields of science and medicine, using examples like CERN's use of AI in understanding particle detectors.

As the UK hosts the first global AI safety summit, Guardian science editor Ian Sample joins Madeleine Finlay to look on the bright side and consider some of the huge benefits AI could bring to science. Madeleine also hears from Prof Mihaela van der Schaar, an expert in machine learning in medicine, about how she predicts AI will transform patient care.
