From search engines to chatbots to driverless taxis – artificial intelligence is increasingly a part of our daily lives. But is it always ethical?

In this episode, Katie Barnfield explores some of the moral questions raised by new developments in smart technology.

Leading researcher Dr Kate Crawford tells us about the powerful AI art software that reinforces gender stereotypes.

We’ll hear from Bloomberg technology columnist Parmy Olson about the eyebrow raising conversation she had with Meta’s new chatbot.

As driverless 'robotaxis' become more popular in China and the US, we’ll look at the difficult moral choices involved in their design.

And how would you feel about AI that can read your emotions? We’ll hear why some companies have decided it’s a step too far.
