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.

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
Suspecting it might be debris from outer space, dutifully brought the pieces to a nearby military base. The next day, they issued a Press Release confirming the material was from a flying disk, a flying saucer. News agencies around the world announced the shocking find. Then within hours, the u. S. Military changed its assessment of what these pieces were. Announce that the debris from outside was nothing more than a Weather Balloon, not a big deal, nothing extraterrestrial. It was he telling the truth about that . Looks like he may have been, it may have been a Weather Balloon but that was not the end of the story. The u. S. Military has gathered evidence on a remarkable number of puzzling aerial phenomenon most of which were definitely not Weather Balloons. Unexplained flying objects that buzzed over u. S. Military bases, missile sites, ships, submarines underwater seem to defy any known human technology. The pentagon has said next to nothing about any of this in public instead of co
