Episode 3 - Artificial Intelligence

In the third episode, we explore A.I. past, present and future. We run through a brief history, and a cultural history to take us up to the present day. We speak to Sheila Hayman, a documentary film-maker who has been making films and conducting research about A.I. since 1985. We explore the limits and the possibilities of AI currently and things to watch out for in the future. We take in Asimov's I, Robot, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, Her, Metropolis and much more. We take an in depth look at gendering of Voice Assistants. Plus a quick catch up on Mountains, a visit to the U.K. from one D. Trump, and a few of our favourite robots. Happy listening!
