Newsday

Available for 29 days

The chief executive of Microsoft AI has said unless adequate restrictions are implemented in the development of artificial intelligence it could lead to the emergence of a new species which would compete with humans. Mustafa Suleyman said AI needed to be trained to be subordinate to humanity. We speak to Ukraine's Minister of Youth and Sport about the impact four years of war is having on the country's athletes. And how women are fighting back in South Africa, a country that experiences some of the world's highest levels of gender based violence. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy.
