“Way too sensational, too close to anecdotal narrative, individual experiences. Homestories aren't journalism allowing more general conclusions from "what happened to N.N.". The topos is categorically too critical & serious to not get down to the technical nittygritty, academic, if...”Read full review »

“What an amazing insight into a pivotal point in humanity’s journey. It made me think. It made me despair. It gave me hope and excitement for our future. Don’t let this podcast (and AI) pass you by, get engaged. Thank you to the entire journalistic team - such amazing quality to your work.”

“I thought I had a handle on AI - what it is, what it can and can’t do, whether it’s a threat - but you’ve opened my eyes and my mind. Fantastic podcast. I’m mindblown, and can’t wait for another series!”

“Excellent series. Listening to the final episode - Shutting it Down - reminded me just how prescient 2001 A Space Odyssey was but also how cleverly the more recent film Ex Machina explored this subject. Science catching up with science fiction…”

“Yep, really enjoyed the series. However, part of me is being swept up a little in the over-dramatic presentation. So I am left feeling more distressed about AI than feeling hopeful. In reality the positives are outweighing the negatives. Scaremongers will still be claiming an end to humanity by...”Read full review »

It’s a fascinating telling and even includes one quite heartbreaking...”Read full review »
