Computer Says No?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Will robots and artificial intelligence help us in our daily lives, or steal our jobs and discriminate against us? Manuela Saragosa talks to Max Tegmark, who has just written a book about what it means to be human in an age of artificial intelligence. In it he recounts how he was left in tears after a recent visit to London's Science Museum. She also interviews Noel Sharkey, professor of artificial intelligence and robots at the University of Sheffield. And regular commentator James Srodes has a warning about letting computers make decisions for us. (Photo: Model robots. Credit: Getty Images)
