What will 2050 hold for you, your friends, your family, and for society at large? Will technology change what it means to be human?

You don’t have to be a computer scientist to understand the importance of the discussion about where artificial intelligence and technology are going. In the final talk of our World in 2050 series, scientist and philosopher John Lennox introduces us to a kaleidoscope of ideas, taking in the key developments in technological enhancement, bioengineering, and artificial intelligence. He examines the capacity of AI, its advantages as well as its disadvantages, and elucidates on the new technologies which will transform our lives.
