| 0:00.0 | I honestly don't know |
| 0:03.0 | know. 9. |
| 0:04.0 | Probably got more intelligence than I have this time of the morning. |
| 0:07.0 | I think it's a good bad thing. |
| 0:09.0 | It makes us think about what it is that we should be as humans. |
| 0:12.6 | I like robots. |
| 0:15.6 | We can do so many things. |
| 0:18.6 | People start to question the way that we're treating them. |
| 0:21.0 | AI kind of makes me nervous. |
| 0:24.2 | We won't worry about it until it hits us. |
| 0:29.2 | I wouldn't know where to start with it. |
| 0:31.4 | And what they are talking about there is artificial intelligence or AI. |
| 0:35.4 | And that's the subject of this week's edition of the naked scientist with me, Georgia |
| 0:38.7 | Mills. |
| 0:39.7 | And with me, Chris Smith, coming up in this hour, we're aiming to answer seven of the most significant |
| 0:44.6 | questions that people are asking about artificial intelligence including how does this |

| 1:13.9 | biologist. He also co-founded a startup which is called Rersurgo genetics. What does |
| 1:18.8 | that aim to do, Peter? So we're trying to use some of these latest computational techniques similar to AI and others to try and understand really how cells think and communicate and make living systems. |
| 1:33.0 | When you say how cells think, so you're basically modeling a cell in a computer. |
| 1:38.0 | So instead of having to grow a cell in a dish, you're growing a cell in a computer chip, really. |
