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. Our temperatures, well, coming up to about 22 in glasgow, so feeling quite a bit warmer here. And a fine weekend, sunday looks good as well. Could see 25 across parts of eastern england, but then some showers around next week. Welcome to hardtalk. Im stephen sackur.

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
Deadlines for choosing president ial electors. Nancy pelosi on the wildly unpopular markup push to eliminates Reproductive Rights. Having a child through ivf is a wonderful thing. It is not a crime. It should not be punished. Plus, President Biden in the republican frontrunner toward the problem trump wants to solve. The blame it on me. I said thats uncle police blame it on me. Please. And gunfire. A stampede and over 100 killed. The latest on the nightmare unfolding in gaza. When all in starts, right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. While trump is facing many trials or at least cases that could potentially go to trial. We will see if he faces trials. We have news on one of them tonight. In the maralago classified documents case special counsel jack smiths, as of just a few hours ago, proposing to the federal court in florida that trial should start on july 8th. Trumps attorneys are suggesting the trial should start in 2025, after the election, if at all, according to c
Of tinfoil here. Most famously, cern is home to the Large Hadron Collider, the worlds biggest machine, built to examine the universes smallest particles. It smashes them together at almost the speed of light, and the last time i was here, it made me cry. Cern lets us do science that no individual country could do by itself, so we can build fantastic machines like the Large Hadron Collider big, complex International Projects where the world comes together to do it. The thing about this place though is that the stuff that goes on here is highly theoretical and experimental, and it kind feels really abstract and not really relevant to our everyday lives, but plenty of stuff that has been developed here has filtered down to the real world. Well, the high energy beams that are whizzing around cern are created by Particle Accelerators big ones. But there are many, many smaller ones around the world, and some of those are in hospitals, and they are being used to treat something that will affe
