Why This Debate and Why Now?
Robots and artificial intelligence aren’t just rising — they’re here, reshaping our digital landscape. AI is revolutionizing highways, hospitals and homes, and the rewards are promising. But at what cost? And who’s left out? From data breaches to identity theft, job loss and widening wealth inequality, AI is challenging top programmers and policymakers to search for safeguards. But AI also leads to curing diseases, saving more lives and improving climate science. Will AI help or harm humans overall? Is the revolution manageable, and could we pull the brakes if we tried?
In Season 1 we'll look at these vital topics:
AI
Artificial Intelligence, Real Inequality?
Global Citizenship
A world without borders...for some
Loss of Faith
No More Trust in Institutions
Gender Inequality
One step forward, two steps back
Capitalism
Time to rethink the model
Water Shortage
Down to the last drop
