Fareed’s GPS special “Artificial Intelligence: Its Promise … and Peril” has been rescheduled for NEXT Sunday, Sept. 3, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN.
In it, Fareed examines how AI is poised to change society and culture—and why some say it will threaten humanity—in conversations with a series of experts: former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, AI “godfather” Geoffrey Hinton, renowned filmmaker James Cameron, and Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) curator Michelle Kuo and Turkish-born artist Refik Anadol.
In the meantime, as debate rages over the present and future of AI, here are some essays, op-eds and tidbits we’ve found useful in understanding this rapidly unfolding technology.
