Worries Over AI Misuse

Tech Life

Available for over a year

Researchers say the misuse of artificial intelligence is already happening. Haydn Belfield from Cambridge University's Centre for the Study of Existential Risk tells us how. AirBnB reveals plans to introduce a tier of more professional, upmarket properties, so is it now firmly part of the hospitality industry? And "cyber-spy hunter" Dmitri Alperovich, who revealed Russian hacking of the US Democratic Party, says his main worry right now is North Korea's cyber activity. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with BBC tech reporter Jane Wakefield and Rowland Manthorpe from Wired UK. (Image: Drawing of lines of scary robots using computers, Credit: Getty Images).
