There are concerns about the ease with which powerful AI tools can be misused, for example to disseminate misinformation during election campaigns.

But what about the video clips we see on social media and in advertisements: surely, we can trust them to be accurate? Well, maybe not.

OpenAI has just revealed Sora, an AI video generator that creates hyper-realistic scenes and animated clips. But the tech isn’t perfect. This video by the Wall Street Journal shows how you can tell if the clip you are watching was generated by AI, and examines the possible impact of this kind of text-to-video tool.

Without us noticing, modern life has been taken over. Algorithms run everything from search engines on the internet to satnavs and credit card data security - they even help us travel the world, find love and save lives.

Mathematician Professor Marcus du Sautoy demystifies the hidden world of algorithms. By showing us some of the algorithms most essential to our lives, he reveals where these 2,000-year-old problem solvers came from, how they work, what they have achieved and how they are now so advanced they can even programme themselves.

Prof. Stuart Russell explores the future of Artificial Intelligence and asks; how can we get our relationship with it right?

Professor Russell is founder of the Centre for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence at the University of California, Berkeley.

In this lecture he reflects on the birth of AI, tracing our thinking about it back to Aristotle. He outlines the definition of AI, its successes and failures, and the risks it poses for the future. Professor Russell will examine whether our fears about AI are well founded. He will explain what led him and Professor Stephen Hawking to say that “success would be the biggest event in human history … and perhaps the last event in human history.” Stuart will ask how this risk arises and whether it can be avoided, allowing humanity and AI to coexist successfully.
