Hello everyone and welcome to Amadpur. Here's what's coming up.

The Godfather of Artificial Intelligence sounds the alarm about his own dangerous creation.

Is AI a major threat to humanity or a world saving breakthrough?

I ask a senior AI researcher and the head of cyber policy at Stanford University.

Also, an ode to Mother Nature, world-renowned cellist Yoyomar tells me about his new project,

the harmony between music and our natural world.

Walter Isakson asked the co-founder of Buzzfeed News, Ben Smith, where the billion-dollar

race to go viral went wrong. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur in London.

The man known as the Godfather of artificial intelligence is now scared of the

very technology that he helped pioneer.

Jeffrey Hinton has left Google to warn the world about the dangers of AI.

Hinton's decades long research has shaped the AI products and systems that we use today.

And in 2018, he was a co-winner of the Turing Prize, a sort of Nobel for computer science.

Now he says he regrets his work and here he is speaking

to the BBC. The issue is now that we've discovered it works better than we expected

a few years ago, what do we do to mitigate the long-term risks of things more

intelligent than us taking control? And Hinton joins a growing chorus of experts worrying that bad AI could conceivably

even lead to the extinction of the human race. Today Samsung banned its staff from using tools like chat GBT citing security concerns.

Meanwhile the IT giant IBM announced that it will pause on hiring for roles that AI could potentially fill,
