    AI will soon infiltrate every part of life. It will be able to control computers and robots. It will draw on almost all documented human knowledge with super-human reasoning. In the near future, new AI systems will be discovered and developed by other AI systems. There is no sector of work or part of our personal life that will be unaffected by these changes.

    Are we ready for this revolution?

    Diarmuid discusses this and more in his last episode recorded on the Yale campus in New Haven.
