Artificial intelligence is one of the biggest issues facing human society in the 21st century, and there is an urgent need to consider its ethical accountability and impact on diversity. This episode discusses how science communicators can strike a balance between describing the potential benefits of AI technologies (increased efficiency, automation, smarter decision-making) while at the same time pointing out the possible negative consequences and risks, including job losses, increased surveillance and worsened economic inequality.

In this episode:
- Ann Nowé, Professor and Head of the Artificial Intelligence Lab, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
- Milena Merten, Lead Editor, ada, Germany

The audio clips of Eva Kaili are taken from an interview with EIT Digital in June 2020.

Hosted by Barbara Schofield. Production by Atina Dimitrova.
