Is crypto currency supporting terrorism?
With the phasing out of cash transactions we’ve seen a rise in digital and other transactions. One of the currencies that’s in the ascendancy are crypto currencies, whose place in the market according to Forbes magazine, has shifted from one of fear to neutral, and now to greed. In other words it’s hugely on the up. After facing some downturns a few years ago, it’s now collectively worth more than a trillion dollars. One of the reasons why people are drawn to crypto currencies is that they can offer a certain freedom from traditional banks and other financial authorities. But this freedom can also turn to anarchy and be used for more worrying purposes, as SOEP’s Shiroma Silva reports.
God-like? A 500-Year History of Artificial Intelligence in Myths, Machines, Monsters
Have we finally built a machine with higher intelligence that ourselves? That’s one of the issues that author and leading thinker on tech Kester Brewin explores in his latest book. Kester discusses with Gareth how myths, machines and monsters created over hundreds of years have influenced the development of AI and how we can now learn to live alongside it.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Peter Guest.
