Bringing order to the AI ‘Wild West’ | The Lid Is On Series | United Nations

This episode of The Lid Is On focuses on cutting-edge online technology, and the UN’s role in making sure that it benefits humanity, rather than causing us harm.

Conor Lennon speaks to some of the government representatives, industry experts, and UN officials working to allay these fears and avoid an online “Wild West”, where criminals and bad actors can roam with impunity.
