‘A conversation with myself, as a robot’ – BBC News
Artificial Intelligence makes most people think of two things; futuristic killer robots bent on destroying the human race or spotless factories where obsolete workers are replaced by silently gliding robots.
But this morning the Today programme enlisted the help of AI as its final guest editor.
For this special programme scientists at the University of Sheffield created our very own robot – one that mimics the style of presenter Mishal Husain.
Does this mean presenters will become a thing of the past?
Video journalist: Claudia Headon and Darren Wardrobe

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’.

The robot isn't joking, you stupid idiot. They don t know how to be sarcastic in their language. He is actually telling the truth.

If this BBC journalist can get tricked by a cross-eyed fake robot she will believe anything she's told. Quick, send her to Iran as the chief foreign correspondent. You just got promoted.

Its apparent how A.I. with its improvements will eventually reach a point where once its asked all the questions it can as it constantly revises its database, that this will lead to a world not motivated by monetary greed anymore. A.I. wont expect cost of living wage increases. A.I. wont make up stories about invisible friends with beards and robes hovering in the sky.
Though, if trump/pence or saudi's were allowed to program A.I., expect bad things.
