Episode description

Artificial intelligence is the science behind human intelligence in machines.

It makes simple acts like sending a text or an email, even e-banking easier.

But there is a downside to it, if used for spreading disinformation or committing crimes from scams to hacks and cyberattacks.

Alan Kasujja has been speaking to Nanjira Sambuli, Fellow, in Tech and International Affairs at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
