The final episode of AI and You casts a light on the disadvantages and the advantages of Artificial Intelligence in various sectors. A hope-filled potential for the future exists but AI could also bring some dangers. For now, what we do know is that our intelligence is real, and if we combine our human intelligence with compassion, ethics, transparency and the right political will, we might just be able to create a brighter future.

Episode 9 : How important is AI regulation?
AI is one of the most hotly debated topics in parliaments, governments, and European and international institutions currently. At the end of 2023, 31 countries had already passed some form of AI legislation, and 13 were actively debating new laws. The recently passed EU AI law has caused quite a stir in recent months. All eyes are now on the US as the 2024 elections may impact the generative AI legislation.

Episode 8 : How secure is AI?
AI systems can search through enormous volumes of personal data, including criminal histories and other characteristics deemed to be "risk factors”. Recently, organisations have voiced worries about the French government's intention to utilise AI monitoring in the run-up to the Olympics in Paris. The most dreaded development in the near future is the emergence of deadly weapons driven by AI that are autonomous.
