Intelligent machines are remaking our world. The speed of their improvement is accelerating fast and every day there are more things they can do better than us. There are risks, but the opportunities for human society are enormous.
Three engineers at the forefront of that revolution come to London to join Caroline Steel and a public audience at the Great Hall of Imperial College.
Regina Barzilay from MIT created a major breakthrough in detecting early stage breast cancer. She also led the team that used machine learning to discover Halicin, the first new antibiotic in 30 years.
David Silver is Principal Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. He led the AlphaGo team that built the AI to defeat the world’s best human player of Go.
Paolo Pirjanian founded Embodied, and is a pioneer in developing emotionally intelligent robots to aid child development.

But people recognize the Сreator
I need this education
I don't understand English language but I am trying learn
Interesting topic on ai &its application in human work
"This is such an amazing explanation! It makes everything so easy to understand. I truly wish my doctor had explained it like this. Thank you for sharing such clear and valuable information!"
AI, UI, GI, and ….. ect…
those all things are noting for me.
Why,?…… Why?….
Hahahahahaha,,, 🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴📣📣📣📣📣📣

please try to display BBC WORLD SERVICE Live news on youtube. please!!! please!!! please!!!
I'm personally wondering if we need AGI at all, because humans, IMO, are "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of things. For example, our arms are able to perform a wide range of tasks, yet for every subset of those there's a simpler solution that also happens to work better. In other words, won't it be more useful to build a wide range of specialized lightweight ai tools instead of one generalized that needs to be run in a huge data center and requires a nuclear power plant to power itself?
DONT USE Artificial intelligence for nothing!!!!
Commentary: BBC Chinese’s Biased Coverage of Taiwan’s Recall Campaigns Undermines Media Integrity
In any democratic society, the role of media is to report facts and hold power accountable — not to act as a mouthpiece for any political faction. Yet, BBC Chinese has consistently demonstrated a clear bias in its recent coverage of Taiwan’s recall movements, betraying the journalistic neutrality expected of a global public broadcaster. This troubling pattern deserves scrutiny by the international community.
1. Selective Framing and Agenda-Driven Headlines
BBC Chinese repeatedly frames recall efforts initiated by Taiwanese citizens in a negative light, using emotionally charged phrases such as “political vendetta” or “retaliatory recalls.” Meanwhile, it avoids or downplays the very reasons behind these democratic actions — public dissatisfaction, political misconduct, or broken promises. By oversimplifying grassroots democratic processes as factional struggle, BBC Chinese misleads international readers and diminishes the agency of Taiwanese voters.
2. Delegitimizing a Legal and Democratic Process
Recall elections are a constitutional right in Taiwan, safeguarded by clear legal procedures and thresholds under the Civil Servants Election and Recall Act. Every successful or failed recall represents tens of thousands of real, law-abiding votes. Yet BBC Chinese frequently questions the legitimacy of these actions, often quoting pro-government scholars without presenting the voices of dissatisfied constituents. This selective coverage stigmatizes legal democratic behavior and disrespects voters’ rights.
3. Lack of Editorial Independence in Taiwan Bureau
There are increasing concerns that certain journalists or editors at BBC Chinese’s Taiwan bureau maintain close ties with a specific political party, compromising editorial independence. Repeatedly citing the same political commentators while ignoring voices from recall organizers or affected citizens betrays the basic principle of balanced journalism. Even in opinion pieces, fairness and diversity of perspective are non-negotiable.
4. BBC Must Uphold Its Global Reputation
While the main English-language BBC often retains its professionalism and impartial tone, its Chinese-language arm has repeatedly failed to meet the same standards — especially on politically sensitive topics like Taiwan. This double standard risks turning BBC Chinese into a political tool, damaging the BBC brand’s global credibility.
⸻
🟦 Our Call to BBC Chinese:
1. Conduct an internal review of editorial practices and staff affiliations.
2. Ensure balanced coverage, giving space to all voices — not just those aligned with the ruling party.
3. Respect democratic mechanisms, and stop framing lawful recall efforts as illegitimate power plays.
A healthy democracy requires multiple voices, and the media must rise above partisanship to protect truth. If BBC Chinese truly values its global integrity, it must stop acting as a partisan enabler and return to its journalistic mission: to report honestly, fully, and fairly.
Evponyus is a lying, anti-democratic news program. It calls the army of the aggressor Israel "the army of defense". If it is a defense army, then why is it bombing Syria, Iran, and destroying the Gaza Strip. What is it defending there? Donald Trump says, "I am disappointed with Israel and Russia", she translates, "I am disappointed with Russia", that is, she falsifies what she said according to her sympathy. She sympathizes with the aggressor and invader.
“Enthusiastic audience”😃
Albert Einstein, Issac Newton, Leonard Da Vinci and all inventors, great minds and geniuses in history have proven what the human mind can do if human beings maximise their potential. Using Ai makes us become close-minded and kills our curiosity. Using Ai will make us not want to maximise our full potential. Ai will kill the curiosity of young minds to study to find the next cure for cancer and contribute to the next great invention. The continuing evolution of ai will kill the burning desire of humans.
“Using ai to help human authors with tools to write novels” Ai will kill the imagination of human beings. Great authors in history have proven that the human mind has limitless imagination. Ai’s intelligence will never be as equal as humans because humans can imagine and have feelings, which drive their desire, passion and ambitions to do things.
Really wonderful program and explanation of real life applications of AI ❤❤❤
I didn t expect to love this as much as I do
Indians are masters too
The video on the AI revolution featuring tech pioneers was not only educational but also inspiring. The panelists provided valuable insights into the future of AI and its impact on various industries. It's great to see such thought-provoking discussions being shared by BBC World Service.
Am I the only one that is scared?
