Living with Artificial Intelligence


Over the period leading up to Christmas Day in 2021, I listened to a series of lectures named ‘Living with Artificial Intelligence’ - as part of the annual BBC Reith Lectures series.

Each year the BBC invites a guest to deliver a series of talks that relate to a topic of current interest. That year was the turn of British Computer Scientist, Stuart Russell OBE, who is currently a professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. At a time when everyone is an expert, I recommend following Prof. Russell who frequently appears on key advisory panels helping to shape future AI policy and implementation.


His 4 lectures have thus far proved eerily prophetic. Lest we forget that ChatGPT came out almost a full year later.
