Live from Sir Henry Floyd Grammar school in Aylesbury, Nigel Crook and Andy Bannister discuss the promise and peril of artificial intelligence and what it could mean for the future of humanity.
Hosted by biologist Sam McKee, and filmed in front of a live audience of teenagers in Aylesbury, UK, this conversation asks the big questions young people are already wrestling with. As AI systems grow more capable, are we heading towards unprecedented flourishing or an age of deepening dependence and control? Can machines genuinely understand, create, or even “think” and does that matter morally?
Should advanced AI ever be granted rights, and who is accountable when algorithms cause harm? What happens to work, education, relationships and truth in a world of synthetic media and accelerating automation? And where, if anywhere, do faith, meaning and human uniqueness fit in a rapidly mechanised future?
Nigel Crook is Professor of AI and Robotics at Oxford Brookes University and Founding Director (founder) of the Institute for Ethical AI, specialising in ethical/responsible AI and robotics
Andy Bannister is an author and apologist, and Director of the Solas Centre for Public Christianity, engaging contemporary culture on faith, ideas and technology.
