Episode Synopsis
This is the fourth and final episode in our short series about AI.
In this episode, we assess the public dialogue about AI and how it has evolved in recent times.
We discuss the heady excitement about the technology's possibilities and emerging concerns about its risks, and what the right risks to focus on are. We also explore how the emerging AI conversation compares to discussions about previous disruptive technologies such as social media.
