Dr. Richard Browne:
I absolutely can. The question of AI is one for the whole of society. In many ways, it is going to be the defining issue of our age. That has been clear for a long time. It is also worth briefly genuflecting in front of the idea that all of us, conscious or subconsciously, have been reading, hearing and watching films about AI for all of our existence. "2001: A Space Odyssey" is 60 years old and it is about an AI so, in that context, it is not a new concept to any of us.
