Focus on AI

Whether AI "makes our societies more or less equitable, unlocks breakthroughs or becomes a tool of authoritarians — is up to us." That is the warning, and the call to arms, from the Biden administration this week. In just a few short months, the power and the peril of AI have become the focus of huge public debate. And the conversation could not be more relevant -- as the atomic bomb biopic "Oppenheimer" reminds us all of the danger of unleashing unbelievably powerful technology on the world. To assess all this, Christiane hosts a panel of leaders in the field of artificial technology. 

Also on today's show: In a world where it’s increasingly hard to discern fact from fiction, Hari Sreenivasan and Christiane Amanpour discuss the ethical dilemmas of A.I., and why it’s more important than ever to keep real journalists in the game.
