We are living through one of the biggest transformations in history but most of us still don’t understand how AI works – or its dangers. Jamie Bartlett shares his insights.

Almost overnight, chatbots are transforming society, politics and business. Hundreds of millions of us now talk to AI like ChatGPT every day. We organise our finances and holidays, ask advice, seek therapy and find love – via machines. But as some of us use it to turbo-charge their productivity at work, others are falling into dangerous conspiracies, delusions and psychosis.

Knowing how to speak to AI – and how not to – is a skill that everyone now needs. One of the UK’s leading thinkers on the impact of new technology, and the creator of the world #1 hit podcast The Missing Cryptoqueen, Jamie Bartlett joins us to reveal how we can stay in control of our powerful new companions that are changing the way we live, feel, and think, without succumbing to new powers of manipulation and control.
