Prof Hannah Fry investigates the most shocking and surprising stories from the AI revolution in a new three part series – exploring what happens when this powerful new technology collides with human lives.
From the British teenager whose AI girlfriend encouraged him to attempt to assassinate the Queen, to the first pedestrian killed by a driverless car, and the algorithm that may have led to one of the most infamous murders of recent years, Hannah takes a deep dive into incredible stories that reveal the truth behind how AI really works, and the life and death impact it’s having in the real world today. Hannah has always believed in the power of technology to transform lives for the better – in this new series she meets the people at the heart of these extraordinary stories to investigate what really happened, and what we can all learn as we enter the age of AI.
