Im stephen sackur. Wherever you live, however you live, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, is going to change your life in the next few years. Will it be for the better . Well, there are Tech Visionaries with very different views some benign, others, dystopian. But on one thing, the futurists can agree what will matter most to the outcome isnt The Machines, its the humans. My guest, neil lawrence, is a professor of Machine Learning who says we face a choice. Either we use alas a tool or we will become a tool for al. So, which is more likely . Neil lawrence, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you very much for having me. Its a great pleasure to have you. Now, you are a computer scientist, but it seems to me, as youve journeyed deep into the potentiality of Artificial Intelligence, youve also thought a great deal about Human Intelligence and what is so very special and unique about us humans. Can you try to put that into words . Yeah, i think, for me, what weve seen with a lot of the art
Otherwise, temperatures generally in the high teens to low 20s for scotland and Northern Ireland, and about 20 to 23 widely across england and wales. It then starts to get a bit warmer for scotland and Northern Ireland as we start to get a southerly drift, so temperatures more widely will reach the 20s as we go through the weekend. Therell still be a lot of dry and sunny weather for england and wales. Just an outside chance of a Shower Working in to the coast of southern england.

Neil lawrence, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you very much for having me. It s a great pleasure to have you. Now, you are a computer scientist, but it seems to me, as you ve journeyed deep into the potentiality of artificial intelligence, you ve also thought a great deal about human intelligence and what is so very special and unique about us humans. Can you try to put that into words? yeah, i think, for me, what we ve seen with a lot of the artificial intelligence debate has been a sort of naturally narcissistic in tendency to think about our intelligence. And what i think it does is offers the opportunity to introspect about our intelligence, to stand in a different place, to look at a different type of information processing, that that s done by a computer, and use our understanding of that, which we built and created, so we understand it, to look back and think about what s special about us. Is intelligence the right word to use when it comes to discussing what machines can do in this
is similar, dry and sunny again, but it gets more humid by the weekend and as the humidity levels rise, we are likely to see some showers and thunderstorms breaking up and for some it will bring the first significant rainfall we have seen forfour significant rainfall we have seen for four weeks. thanks, chris. and that s bbc news at ten. there s more analysis of the day s main stories on newsnight with victoria derbyshire, which is just getting under way on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it s time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. but, from the ten team, it s goodnight. rishi sunak is tonight on his way to meetjoe biden in washington. is the threat posed by artificial intelligence to humanity now at the top his agenda? as the prime minister prepares to make the case for britain to be a global leader in policing ai, we ll ask if it might actually suit big tech to warn us about the dangers. also tonight: anoth
but ey economirec indicators or as they say in the market shows worrisome. but on a more fundamentalsi level, there are alsgno dangersl signs when young people are told by their leaders that workn is a scam and that stealingo yo things from other people is a human right. how do you think your economy is going to look in 10 years? how about your civilization ? the answer depends in part on just how much idlenesstheft and theft you put up with anypu society that cannot declarupe unequivocally and with confidence that stealing uneqlently and with confidence that steali ng ihas no future. l when you let the mob loot, youse are doomed.ho this is whoty we used to shoots. looters, not because we hated them. it wasn t personal, but inthat order to defend the foundation of all that we have, which. is private property secured by the lawthat, without that we would be living in savageryd ch and chaos in chicago.is they already are. this is what america s second largest city looked li
