About this episode
All over the world, humanity is rushing to regulate the development of artificial intelligence.
Now, the Australian government has announced its first steps toward controlling the development of AI. But is it already too late? And do we really understand what the risks are?

Today, Professor Toby Walsh, author of Faking It, on whether Australia is going far enough to regulate AI and the consequences of getting it wrong.
