Episode description

Drawing on real life research and technology, P.W. Singer's new technological thriller, Burn In, shows how AI gets real fast and asks who controls our future. Will Siri, Alexa and smart houses and, above all, AI robots overtake the human grasp on our destiny? Will tech moguls pull the strings? For good or ill? The Wall Street Journal calls Singer "the premier futurist in the national security environment." He is Strategist at the New America Foundation and New York Times bestselling author of "Ghost Fleet" and "Wired for War."  Damon Lindelof, writer/creator of Lost, Star Trek and Watchmen calls "Burn-In" a "rollercoaster ride of science fiction blended with science fact."  P.W. Singer and co-author August Cole raise the question: when AI supercharges robots, who controls the off switch? Is there one?
