ABC Radio episode on artificial intelligence, ethics and education

Episode Summary

AI holds enormous potential for transforming the way we teach, says education technology expert Simon Buckingham Shum, but first we need to define what kind of education system we want.

Also, the head of the UK’s new Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation warns democratic governments that they urgently need an ethics and governance framework for emerging technologies.

And Cognizant’s Bret Greenstein on when it would be unethical not to use AI.
