The Rise of the Machines

Elaine Burke and Adrian Weckler in conversation

Is Geoffrey Hinton, inventor of AI, right when he foresees machines becoming more intelligent than us?

What would it mean for the world if machines surpassed human intelligence? And are the benefits of AI in health and education enough to make such a risk worthwhile?

Elaine Burke of For Tech’s Sake and Adrian Weckler, Technology Editor at Independent Newspapers, discuss the rise of AI and the future of Machine Learning.

First Thought Talks are presented in association with University of Galway.
