A special show from Bletchley Park, Britain's wartime code-breaking centre where some of the earliest work on artificial intelligence was done. We hear what the “godfather of deep learning” - Google’s Geoff Hinton, and Facebook’s director of AI research Yann LeCun think about the threats and opportunities of learning machines, as well as the view of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. And, machine learning and robotics experts Professors Murray Shanahan of Imperial College, London and Kerstin Dautenhahn of the University of Hertfordshire, share their expertise. Plus, a preview of this year’s Loebner Prize for artificial intelligence with its chair Ed Keedwell.
