Here’s the timestamps for the episode: 
(00:00) – Introduction
(01:37) – about the age of 10, I started programming computers and I flunked out of school. I eventually ended up in a program called Applied Psychology and computing at Bournemouth University. I got a Bachelor of Science in that degree. I also went into linguistics and artificial intelligence and using artificial intelligence to do a grammar checking and grammatical investigations. Then I dropped into the data world, massive data infrastructures using analytics, behavioral targeting of customers using data, then I started to be hired to speak about artificial intelligence, and we really got into talking about the human ethics and the hybridity of humans and the machines. 
(05:04) – Something that can act as a human, move as a human, perceives, creates its own philosophy, creates some purpose… we are a long way from that. I questioned people that are trying to give that to machines. We can't work out what it truly means for ourselves beyond a metaphysical and a discussionary, a philosophical bent.
(06:59) – This is about humans. This is ultimately about a hybridity between humans and technology. They're not robotics that are independent from who we are, that are suddenly trying to take over the world. There's actual practical applications that are going to help us solve big problems.
(09:19) – Artificial intelligence just doesn't wander off and becomes useful. It needs a lot of training. It needs a lot of guidance and a lot of that practical expertise. It might be able to start identifying patterns that we may not see as readily or as easy as AI, but our practical wisdom needs to be injected into the overall solution. 
(12:06) – COVID is a black elephant. The elephant in the room and the black swan. If you've got a black elephant, it's that black swan that's been in the room for over a hundred years that everyone knows, that there's a risk of it out rearing its head and causing a huge calamity, but we've just conveniently pushed it to the side and decided that the likelihood of that happening is a lot lower than we really want to pay attention to.
(15:44) – If you've had that level of a focus and investment in artificial intelligence, in wea
