"The AI Revolution: Transforming Science as We Know It"

The Economist explores how AI could transform the enterprise of science in a two-part series of their podcast "Babbage". They discuss the responsible development of AI, hurdles to overcome, and society's preparation for the age of ubiquitous AI. The Economist also presents a film featuring Yuval Noah Harari and Mustafa Suleyman debating the impact of AI on our immediate futures, control measures, and the possibility of AI having agency.
