On this week’s show we discuss the creation of a new life-form - one being born at this very moment - the seed which, forbidding some extinction level disaster will grow to envelop and surpass all aspects of human life - a truly Artificial Intelligence, or, a computer-based form of life with equal or greater levels of intelligence, awareness and autonomy than the humans who created it; bringing with it the potential to permanently alter the course of human history faster and more dramatically than is even yet imaginable. Will we become cavemen, robot-food, utopian cyborgs or destroy the entire planet before any of these can occur? What happens next is up to you...
