Are we building the AI that destroys us? | BBC News

There have been sobering warnings this week from MI5, the UK's AI Minister and a number of security officials - AI is already a threat to our lives.

But despite those fears, innovation and AI development continues at breakneck speed.

So this week on AI Decoded we focus in on that central question of AI - should we accelerate the development of ever more powerful AI systems, or slow down before the risks become unmanageable?

It's the question at the centre of a major new film, Artificial, which explores the growing divide between OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever over the answer.

To discuss it all, Marc Cieslak and Dr Stephanie Hare are joined by technology futurist Bernard Marr and AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy, one of the world's leading voices on the risks posed by superintelligent AI.
