Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
AI can do so many things better than we can. When it comes to calculating something or sifting through lots of data at breakneck speeds there is just no competition between us and the robots. And yet they are pretty useless at so many of the simple things we take for granted that even a toddler could do. But perhaps that’s because we haven’t taken the time to teach them like we do our infants? Mark Lee is Emeritus Professor of Intelligent Systems in the Department of Computer Science at Aberystwyth University and is author of 'How To Grow A Robot: Developing Human-Friendly AI'. He joined Jonathan to discuss his work further. Image: commons.wikimedia.org
