Phil and Stephen explore future-related developments beginning with a piece from theĀ Economist on why we should move forward (cautiously) with artificial intelligence. If you want a quick lesson in how much the world has changed in recent years, get your head around these ideas:

1. It’s an article on artificial general intelligence in the Economist

2. It takes the idea of AI seriously and points out the risks

3. It says we should go ahead with it.

Welcome to the future, folks!
