It’s likely that at some point today, you spoke to a machine that used Artificial Intelligence, a technology that is reshaping society faster than any other in modern history.
In this timely event Jamie Bartlett, one of the UK’s leading technology writers and thinkers, discusses this new world with the Observer’s technology reporter Patricia Clarke, deepening our understanding of how AI systems work, how to make the most of them, and what the dangers of them might be for us now and in the future.
Bartlett’s previous books include The Dark Net and The People vs Tech, which was longlisted for the 2019 Orwell Prize for Political Writing.
