AI 7/7: The Future of Artificial Intelligence

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2367848/open_sms] This is the 7th and final episode of the AI mini-series.   Previous episodes explored some of the ways in which AI is being used in healthcare in the UK, some of the work that is underway and potential future uses, and in the last episode some of the barriers and concerns.   This episode looks into the future - what might the future look like? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?  What are the implications likely to be?   The episode questions the understanding of the term intelligence itself?  What does it actually mean?  Will AI ever become truly intelligent and self aware?  Even if not, how is Elon Musk taking steps that may bridge that gap?
