Im stephen sackur. Wherever you live, however you live, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, is going to change your life in the next few years. Will it be for the better . Well, there are Tech Visionaries with very different views some benign, others, dystopian. But on one thing, the futurists can agree what will matter most to the outcome isnt The Machines, its the humans. My guest, neil lawrence, is a professor of Machine Learning who says we face a choice. Either we use alas a tool or we will become a tool for al. So, which is more likely . Neil lawrence, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you very much for having me. Its a great pleasure to have you. Now, you are a computer scientist, but it seems to me, as youve journeyed deep into the potentiality of Artificial Intelligence, youve also thought a great deal about Human Intelligence and what is so very special and unique about us humans. Can you try to put that into words . Yeah, i think, for me, what weve seen with a lot of the art
Otherwise, temperatures generally in the high teens to low 20s for scotland and Northern Ireland, and about 20 to 23 widely across england and wales. It then starts to get a bit warmer for scotland and Northern Ireland as we start to get a southerly drift, so temperatures more widely will reach the 20s as we go through the weekend. Therell still be a lot of dry and sunny weather for england and wales. Just an outside chance of a Shower Working in to the coast of southern england. Our temperatures, well, coming up to about 22 in glasgow, so feeling quite a bit warmer here. And a fine weekend, sunday looks good as well. Could see 25 across parts of eastern england, but then some showers around next week. Welcome to hardtalk. Im stephen sackur.

Neil lawrence, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you very much for having me. It s a great pleasure to have you. Now, you are a computer scientist, but it seems to me, as you ve journeyed deep into the potentiality of artificial intelligence, you ve also thought a great deal about human intelligence and what is so very special and unique about us humans. Can you try to put that into words? yeah, i think, for me, what we ve seen with a lot of the artificial intelligence debate has been a sort of naturally narcissistic in tendency to think about our intelligence. And what i think it does is offers the opportunity to introspect about our intelligence, to stand in a different place, to look at a different type of information processing, that that s done by a computer, and use our understanding of that, which we built and created, so we understand it, to look back and think about what s special about us. Is intelligence the right word to use when it comes to discussing what machines can do in this
Attack on october 7. Israel says he was rescued in what they are calling a complex operation. Lucy williamson sent this report from the soroka medical centre in southern israel. Surrounded again by sunlight, by the sound of hebrew. Farhan alkadi, a 52 year old bedouin israeli, snatching a second chance at life. Crouched on the floor of a military helicopter, after 326 days in captivity, a smile. The start of his journey back home. At israel s soroka hospital, his last few moments in hiding. A wall of israeli soldiers shielding him from the world he left ten months ago. From a tunnel in gaza to an israeli ambulance in a couple of hours. His family racing the last few metres to greet him. Thin and pale, but staff said in a good and stable condition. Translation: it s difficult to explain how it feels. It s better than having a newborn. We thank god and we thank everyone, and hope to see him healthy. We re very happy, very happy. Israel s prime minister called to welcome him home, keen to
legal analyst. of course, the one and only, rick wilson, cofounder of the lincoln project, republican media strategist. welcome to all of you. he is also the author of run against the devil, a plot to save america from trump and democrats from themselves. i love that one. so, barbara, let s start with you. will the supreme court be forced to weigh in on trump s ballot eligibility? i think that s the driving question right now. i think so. i don t know how they dodged this. in light of the fact that we have seen different opinions now coming out of different states. i think, ultimately, there is a risk that we get this patchwork of eligibility that s different in all 50 states. even that each state gets to decide procedurally how they handle ballot questions, the substance of who is eligible is really a question for the u.s. supreme court interpreting the 14th amendment, it s a question. i think most people expect that the court might find some procedural off-ramp to avoid a
