Neil Lawrence: Being human in the age of the machine

Stephen Sackur speaks to leading artificial intelligence researcher Neil Lawrence. He’s Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge and has a Senior AI Fellowship at the Alan Turing Institute. His new book – The Atomic Human – explores the transformational potential of artificial intelligence, while reflecting on the qualities of the human mind that cannot be replicated by even the most sophisticated machines.

In the end what will matter most isn’t the technology but the humans who develop and deploy it. Should we have faith in ourselves to get it right?
