Could Artificial Intelligence signal the end of the human race?

Available for over a year

Esteemed physicist Professor Stephen Hawkings thinks so - we find out why. And we hear from Murray Shanahan, Professor of Cognitive Robotics at London's Imperial College about why he thinks Professor Hawking's warnings are over blown. Plus, will Europe's flagship space rocket project get a major funding boost today? Stephane Israel the boss of Arianespace tells us why almost 5 billion dollars would be money well spent. Also in the programme, pressure is mounting on the Russian economy with ongoing falls in global oil prices and a slide in the value of the Rouble. We hear why President Putin has announced plans to abandon a pipeline project that would have served Europe, in favour of a new gas hub in Turkey. And we speak to Martin Tall, chief executive of a new jobs app, 'Selfiejobs', which hopes to revolutionise the recruitment market, by allowing users to submit a 'selfie' along with a short video about why they should get a job. But will a candidate's looks become more important than their experience and ability to actually do the job?
