AI – souless, risky, misunderstood…?

What was described as ‘the world’s first human-robot press conference’ was held in July at a United Nations’ AI conference in Switzerland

Ironically, and paradoxically, that very search engine is itself a form of AI, of course.

My Google search, at precisely 17.06 on 6 July, revealed the best and the worst of the latest AI news. The headlines are pretty accurate as headlines go: ‘AI chatbot “encouraged” man who planned to kill queen, court told’ and ‘AI robots could play future role as companions in care homes’.
