Should we rein AI in? Future Intelligence’s PassW0rd programme on Resonance FM asks leading authors and experts whether we should introduce curbs on AI technology and whether it represents a threat to humanity. Future Intelligence has campaigned on the issue of controls on technology since 1997 and actively promoted awareness of the issue with Professor Bill O’Riordan, the former chief scientist of ICL-Fujitsu now Fujitsu. On May 27th, 2017, the Fi Conference Artificial Intelligence – Living and working in an AI world pushed the issue centre stage.
