Description
This week, we've got Alex Fefegha in the studio to chat about how he uses emerging technology to make society better. We chat human-digital interactions, AI, and why he thinks that the internet is a "Repository of Evil". With the rise of programs like the Met Gangs Matrix and other international initiatives, we discuss what algorithms mean for the future of policing and if we can ever code out biases. @fxfegha on Twitter @comuzi on Twitter   ------------------------------------------------- Music by Grapes & Evan Schaeffer ------------------------------------------------- Our live event is May 30th at the Royal Institution with Angela Saini (@AngelaDSaini) to discuss her new book Superior.  We'll be discussing the re-emergence of race science and dissecting the political roots of race, why scientists can’t seem to look beyond it, and the dark and dangerous ways in which scientific racism still exists today.  BUY YOUR TICKETS RIGHT HERE  ------------------------------------------------- Follow us on social media and send us your questions!
