In series 2 we delved more into the importance of AI safety and the potentially catastrophic future we are headed to. We explored AI in China, the latest news and developments and our predictions for the future.

We also do a monthly news update looking at the AI stories we've been interested in that might not have been picked up in mainstream media.
