Not just the obvious things, like the threat to our jobs, or the potential dangers of surveillance. What about the deeper issues, like the impacts on our legal systems, our politics, our economies and our environment? This episode features an on stage discussion with Professor Kate Crawford, one of the world’s leading researchers into the social and political implications of AI. In her new book, called "The Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence", Kate has meticulously mapped out how these new, rapidly evolving technologies are affecting our lives and our planet, and in doing so, has revealed how little we actually understand them.
