THE TRUE STORY OF A.I. WITH TRACEY SPICER

In this curtain raiser for November's True Story Festival of non-fiction writing, award-winning journalist Tracey Spicer talks to Caroline Baum about the scary and unexpected ethical and everyday implications of AI in our lives. How have age-old prejudices around gender and race been built into robots? What can we do to make algorithms more representative of who we are?
