Technologist Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Steve Wozniak named artificial intelligence as one of humanity's biggest existential risks. Will robots outpace humans in the future? Should we set limits on A.I.? Our panel of experts discusses what questions we should ask as research on artificial intelligence progresses.

Can You Hold An Algorithm Accountable?

Among the many hurdles NASA scientists face when conducting research with Mars rover Curiosity, one stands out: time. It takes 24 minutes for scientists to send instructions to Curiosity, a delay that puts constraints on the pace of scientific research. But since May 2016, NASA has been testing out an autonomous system, named AEGIS (Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science), on the rover. It saves NASA time by letting Curiosity decide which rocks to sample and what data to send back to Earth. Raymond Francis, an engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, joins Ira to discuss the rover’s autonomous upgrade.

Curiosity Gets An AI Upgrade

Physicists have observed subatomic particles decaying in a way that doesn't jibe with the predictions of the Standard Model, suggesting, if the results are correct, that there could be undiscovered particles at play.

Particles Behaving Badly

Curiosity drives much of our learning and creativity. Where do we get it from, and how does it change our brains?
