Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

It is shocking that the most intelligent, highest educated and most privileged of North Korean students can be genuinely this ignorant and uninformed about life on the outside. It's actually terrifying.

I have the privilege to feel exactly what north Koreans feelings right now , because we (iraqis) have lived under the rule of one of the most barbaric and ugliest tyrant in human history saddam hussien , back then even a mother is afraid of her daughter informing the regime if she speaks badly about the regime, which ends with the death penalty for the daughter if she hears her mother cursing the regime and does not inform the security institutions. its really strange to feel like you have been brainwashed all your living years and discover that later in you lifetime, like being religious and your ruler is your god and you have to worship him even if he killed you beloved family with brutal way because they were bad people

Listen to the 1984 audiobook. There is a dramatized version that is very good.
