Are We Creating Conscious Machines?

AI Decoded explores the growing backlash against artificial intelligence. As fears of job losses spread through the tech industry and protests against AI data centres gather momentum, we ask whether the promises of an AI-powered future are starting to unravel. Plus, could advanced AI one day become conscious, and if it does, what responsibilities would we have towards it? Presenter Marc Cieslak is joined by digital rights activist Cory Doctorow, AI entrepreneur Priya Lakhani and academic Dr Ella Hafermalz to unpack the biggest questions facing AI today.
